Week 7 Preview...

... but first one quick note on last week:

If you look on the scoreboard for Thursday, there were 3 games with recorded scores of 7-0. This can only mean that 3 teams called a forfeit on their 3 opponents. To quote an overused and un-funny segment in a rapidly declining weekend TV show...

Really?!?!

I don't know what part of DC you were planning on playing in, but by 3:00 PM the mall had returned to 1840's swamp form and Noah in his ark would have drown in the amount of water accumulated in Anacostia Park. To those 3 team coaches, I join my Patriotic friends in saying "Boooooo". I won't say any team names, but I will say it was a Colorado Cutthroat way to win some Cold Hard Cash by exacting some rather extreme Capitol Punishment... uh, right.

OK, on to this weeks preview.

Game of the Week on the league site is Blue Pups v. Dukes of Haphazard and while certainly a great match up, here are several other awesome games to keep on your radar:

Strike Place Market v. License to Il - Strike Place currently holds the league's 2nd place record for most improved, moving up 62 spots last year and are poised to continue that climb, they'll have to get through a strong #4 License to Il (interesting note, SPM beath Il in the pre-season).

Big Lebowski's v. Playmates - Playmates are a quiet 3-0, but Heff and his bunnies may find the Dude and the Lebowski's to be less than intimidated by that record.

Suspicious Packages v. The Moonshiners - Finally the Packages get a chance to blow out a strong opponent, but the moonshiners are on a roll and have been knocking teams on their ass lately, look for the winner here to be a longterm contender this year.

Vito Power v. Big Riggin - it's a classic struggle, Itallian Mobsters v. Truck Drivers...well, ok, maybe not and maybe neither of those two teams are what they sound like, but their both darn good and this is going to be a solid square off.

Also watch out for Blue Mold this week as they look to keep the league's worst record intact at 0-6...to be fair, they usually lead at least once in every game they've lost - I guess that's all of them.. keep your chins up guys.

MY GAME OF THE WEEK:

DGS v. Milwaukees Best - yeah this sounds like the best sunday morning breakfast you could ever ask for; bacon, eggs, pancakes and a nice brew - but truth is, these are two strong ball-clubs in danger of losing their 2nd games. DGS has had a few very close match ups and MB's only loss was to the Dukes of Haphazard by 1. Expect a bar burner here.
