Thanks to all of the players who showed up to make it another wonderful Saturday for the SMFL.
For the first time in SMFL history, two of the big time regulars were paired together to form what could have been the strongest team in recent memory. Big Game and Prime Time set aside their differences for one Saturday morning and united to form the uber-team. They were joined by Baylor Dave, Matt Smith, Iman the Quick, T-Dar, and Eric “the Boss” Haas.
They took on a team of the always in tune roommates Papi and Favre, along with Easy E Reed, Zephyr Avery, Gustavo, Brian, and RB.
Papi and Favre’s team started out hot, jumping to a 3-0 lead after TD grabs by Easy E and Papi, as well as a timely Pick 6 from Easy E. (A vital point that should not be understated is that the first of the game was dominated by inconsistency because there were some late-comers and the teams had odd numbers for awhile.) Now that I got Big Game’s disclaimer out of the way, I’ll continue with the recap…
As they have done time and again, Big Game and Prime Time weren’t about to go this easily. They threatened with at quick score to make it 3-1, but soon found themselves down 5-1. Those of you familiar with the SMFL know that this is hardly a safe lead, even in a game to 7, so it’s no surprise that with the inspiration of T-Dar they eventually got to within 6-5. However, it was with much blood and sweat that Papi and Favre’s team was able to close the door on another close game, which has become the norm on Saturday mornings.

I want to cut the recap short this week, and give some well-deserved space to a man who has come to be known as a “Friend of the SMFL.” Our man Gustavo played in his final game of this season (we hope it’s not forever). This likable hard worker has reached the end of his international office exchange for E&Y and will be heading back to Mexico this week. Let me say for the whole league that there is no doubt he will be missed. How could you not enjoy the game when you saw how much he was?! We did our best afterwards to send him off with well-wishes, and we have even granted him full authority to begin the SMFL-Mexico upon his arrival home. Gustavo, all of our resources and support is available at your request. Thanks for hanging out with us while you were here!
Here is Gustavo in his all too familiar defensive prowl (the defensive player in the middle). I'm pretty sure he intercepted the pass on this play. So Stealthy!
Game Stats will be a little late this week. We will get those up as soon as possible!
