December 1st - RECAP

This Saturday started out with close to perfect football weather…a bit on the cool side, with occasional spits of precipitation. We’re still waiting for our first action on the frozen tundra.

The teams shook out like this:

Romo

Baylor Dave

Prime Time

The Rocket

Sweet Feet

L1 R2 RB

Vs

Favre

Papi

Jagt

Butterfly

The General

Rhino

Zephyr

Both games were evenly matched contests throughout, with both defenses coming up with early stops and interceptions. The Romo-Favre rivalry continued to heat up as each picked the other off in the early stages. But Romo and General Josh were able to calm their teams down and direct key scoring drives to get their teams on the board. As a matter of fact, Romo was extremely instrumental for his team all day, as they urged him to direct their offense time and again. He did not disappoint, as he threw 12 of their 14 TDs in the two games combined. The SMFL hasn’t seen a one man show like this in quite some time, if ever at all.

“It’s easy to look like an all star when you’ve got the speed of RB and The Rocket, joy stick moves from Sweet Feet and the play making abilities of Prime Time and Baylor Dave. With all this talent on the same team, all I'm asked to do is put it in their hands and let them carry the load!” - Romo Farrellio

The only smear on Romo’s day was his unusually high interception total.

“I made some mistakes out there. I felt like every one was picking me off for a little while, but it was a total team effort to gut out this win. I guess that means we are a pretty good football team, but we have room to improve and that is what we are focused on this week. We'll let the tournament day sort itself out. If we execute and play like we know we can, then it will all work out in the end.”

This reporter couldn't help but roll his eyes at all the canned verbiage Romo Farrellio was pouring on during the post game interviews... What a load of horse manure! Where is Papi when you need a good juicy quote!?

Week 8 Stats can be seen here

Sadly though, this day marked the end of one of the leagues most recognizable faces. Over the past year we have all come to know and love the joy-stick jooking styles that Sweet Feet Darrell brought to the field each week. Unfortunately, his time has come to move on to bigger and better things. Although he is unsure where he will end up (New York or California), you can be sure that you have a place to crash with Sweet Feet when visiting either state. The SMFL is sad to see all players go, but don't be surprised if he shows up periodically unannounced. Lets not forget the commitment Sweet Feet brought to the game each week by driving 2 hours up and back from Waco in order to play. Such commitment may ne'er be seen again. Good Luck Sweet Feet, we hope to see you again soon and we look forward to hearing about the new SMFL cell you form where ever you land. SMFL - Dallas is always here for support!

Week 8 MVP goes to Sweet Feet Darrell - Here is Sweet Feet's pre-season prediction which was posted almost 4 months ago:“Sweet Feet” Darrell
SMFL Alter Ego: Dante Hall

- Arguably the most committed 2006-2007 mid season addition (the only player who drives over 3 hours to play each weekend), has been unheard from for the entire offseason. Perhaps he took the time and made an attempt to walk onto the Baylor Bear football team. Perhaps Baylor realized that he was the quickest, fastest player they have ever seen on their side of the sideline, excluding there drafted punter Sepulveda, and offered him a position… Perhaps all parties involved were happy, until they saw that “Sweet Feet” needed an oxygen mask after every 3 yard cut he made… regardless, that is all hearsay but not beyond the realm of possibility.

- PRESEASON PREDICTION: SMFL BILL BATES AWARD – THIS GUY HAS PROVEN THAT HE LIVES AND BREATH’S SATURDAY MORNING FOOTBALL AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED DURING THE OFFSEASON TO SAY OTHERWISE. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT STAYING HOME, IN BED, ON SATURDAY’S, THAT MAY BE A GOOD IDEA… AT LEAST “SWEET FEET” CAN’T BREAK YOUR ANKLES WHEN YOUR NOT ON THE FIELD.
Here is a taste of "Sweet Feet" back 15 years ago!
