| Man does working 12hrs a day, SEVEN days a week suck or what!! Anyhow, lets get to it! *** Round Two Results Titans VS Robinators- OUCH. We really were hopeful that The Robinators would put up a good fight, but that just did NOT happen. Injuries and general inconsistency took their toll on The Robinators as who to start at RB was a big problem. The ones that did start did little while the rest of the offense sputtered as well. The Robinators had a few nice performances on D, but really, this was just a BLOWOUT. Final score 365-254, Titans. OkCowboy VS Snappers- This was a better game to be sure but even it was still a bit of a lopsided win. The Snappers had great games from Romo (55), Vincent (35) and Austin (37) but the rest of the offense was average at best. Their D, like The Robinators, was good but far from great. On the flipside, The Cowboys had a killer game from Big Ben (52) but really he was their only real standout. Instead, The Cowboys had a very balanced scoring effort from the rest of the team and only TWO other players would finish under 10 points. This is what lead to their 374-340 win. *** Title Game Prediction So it all comes down to this. One game for all the marbles and a repeat Championship for The Titans. We will remind everyone that in all the years we have been writing Updates we have never..ONCE called a Champion in the Pre-Season. Luckily we heard that The Curse played Titans owner Adam Pedersen in a game of racquet ball.......not only did Pedersen win, but after the game he chocked out The Curse on his own racquet balls...forever killing the retched thing! #1 Seed Transel Titans Versus #2 Seed OkCowboy for The World Title!! QBs- First off, we'd like to state that it is nice and easy to compare teams when we can just go to the preview screen and look at the rosters. It doesn't work so well though when Transel has an ILLEGAL LINEUP!! Sheesh! Anyhow, Brees had a poor game last week. We'll bet he doesn't have another. Winner- Titans RBs- Gore and Forte are nice. Add to that the fact that Addai looks to be OUT for The Titans and we may just call this one in favor of The Cowboys. Whats that? The Titans have CJ? Oh...our bad. Winner- Titans WRs- Holmes, TO, TJ, Gonzo and Rice for The Cowboys. Gates, Wayne, Ward, Colston and Kellen for The Titans. You try calling a winner! Winner- Tie Defense- Both D's are nice but its The Titans with the edge yet again. Winner- Titans We'd root for The Cowboys, but why bother. The Titans win, they win big and they establish the only dynasty this league has even known. In fact..we'll just go ahead and name them #1 in the 2010 Pre-Season Rankings right...NOW! Our Pick- The Transel Titans. Final Score- 389-340 |
| So quickly they all fall down. The unbeaten that is. When we last dropped in, three teams remained undefeated at 3-0 but move forward just two more games and none remain? How tough is it to go 5-0 around here? Fairly difficult it seems. Luckily, the teams that were unbeaten are still the top three teams in the league. But wait just a second here, it seems those top three are joined by a forth. *** The Chicago Bears started the year 0-1 after falling to Emerald City but since that lost, they have gone 4-0. The question is, are these Bears for real or merely pretenders trying to hang with the best in the league? So the Bears lost in week one, but they did win their next game. The trouble is, that next game came against the now 0-5 Cleveland Browns and the Bears won by a mere 12 points. Can that really be called dominance? I think not. Then in their latest win they took down the Waterboys 269-244. Another close game, against another winless team. Based on this information we would be hard pressed to say anything but pretender. *** But there is another side to this story. Lets take week three’s game for example. This was a much more dominating win as the Bears took the game 325-286 but much much more impressive was that they handed the Transel Titans their first loss of the year (yep..thats the defending CHAMPION Transel Titans). The very next week they would nab their third win in a row with a 285-259 win over the 3-0 Fishermen. Based on these games, contender would be the obvious list to put the Bears on. So? Which is it? *** The answer, is pretender. But before carving it in stone, we’ll give the Bears a chance to prove us wrong. Why is Chicago a pretender? Not enough talent. Sure Flacco is nice and Fred Jackson has been great, but when the chips are down can this team really overcome the heavy hitters? Stafford, McCoy, Welker, Graham, Polamalu, Dez. Rodgers, AP, Jennings, Nicks, Miles, Willis, Vincent. McFadden, Wallace, Vernon, Lofton, Weatherspoon, Marshall. Those would be a few of the names owned by the Fishermen, Snappers and The Rock. Those are the teams that are tied with Chicago at 4-1. Do Flacco, Fred, Gore, Santana, Ray Lewis, Urlacher and Gonzalez really measure up? Lets find out. *** In this weeks Game of the Week, The Bears take on a Robinators team that no slouch at 3-2. Crush them…. not beat…CRUSH….and we’ll reevaluate our previous statements. In the end, The Bears DO look like a Playoff team, but a title contender? Not this year. ************* The Rankings!!! [Last Update] [1] 1- Long Beach Snappers (Not enough evidence to drop them….yet) [2] 2- The Fishermen (A breath behind Long Beach) [4] 3- Finally!!! (The loss of Jamaal hasn’t killed this team..but tough times may be ahead) [10] 4- OkCowboy (This is more like it) [8] 5- Chicago Bears (Top 5….but can they prove they belong?) [6] 6- Dirty Gringos (Playing well but not top 5 material) [11] 7- Robinators (BIG Game of the Week this week!) [7] 8- Si JeTs (How many 3-2’s are there?!?!?!) [3] 9- Transel Titans (What is happening with the champs??) [5] 10- Outlaws (Could be ranked anywhere up to 5th…..so win this week and a top 5 rank could be theirs again) [9] 11- Emerald City Homers (Another team at 3-2….but ….they just don’t look the part of a top 5 team) [14] 12- Pittsburgh Steelers (The Steel City is back! Right?) [12] 13- The Waterboys (This is the worst Sean team EVER) [16] 14- Cleveland Browns (A BAD team..but a young team that has room to grow and improve) [13] 15- Tony Sopranos Crew (Another team that’s really bad but young enough that its excusable for now) [15] 16- Teton Buffalo (This team is just bad. Time to deal all these guys for picks!!) |

| Three weeks…..three unbeaten. We’ve played almost a month so far but its going to take quite a bit longer to get some separation between the top teams it seems. Luckily, we do have a couple surprises to speak on in the early going. ***** Last year, The Fishermen began the season ranked near the very bottom of the pack, and despite exceeding that 14th ranking with a 6-7 record, The Fish scared no one. This year they were once again ranked in the bottom five. Fast forward to the end of week 3 in the 2011 season though and The Fishermen are a team to be feared, and its all thanks to a couple young stars. Sure The Fish have their tried and true stars. Welker, Dez and McCoy are always as good as advertised, but it’s the play of Stafford and Graham that have the Fish becoming a team you don’t want to face. Add in a defense that’s been better than we thought and its easy to see how The Fishermen have defeated The Waterboys, Robinators and Gringos to start the year 3-0. ***** Elsewhere it’s a bit of a different story. One of our other 3-0 teams has been consistently ranked in the top 7 for years, yet that team has made The Playoffs just once. This is a team who also has its stars with names like Marshall, McFadden and Mike Wallace. The trouble here is this team has also been hit hard by injuries. First Michael Crabtree, a potential breakout WR went down with yet another injury and he has yet to come back in any real form. Another WR who has great talent but can’t stay on the field would be Damaryius Thomas who remains out. But the thing that could have killed any hope of the postseason was the loss of a top 5 RB in Jamaal Charles. Yet here we are, three weeks in, and yes….The Rock is unbeaten. It seems unlikely he can keep it up……..God have mercy on the league if he does. ***** Besides those unlikely 3-0 teams, The Snappers are also unbeaten but this is MUCH less of a surprise, they weren’t ranked in the top 3 for nuthin! Where does everyone else fall?....... ********* The Rankings!!! 1-- Long Beach Snappers (As good as advertised….or better) 2—The Fishermen (Not a question at all…this team IS better than advertised) 3—Transel Titans (Still one of the best teams….but losing Britt could hurt them) 4—Finally!!! (Is The Rock really this good?) 5—Outlaws (Top 5 rank…so far so good) 6—Dirty Gringos (The Fish better look out) 7—Si JeTs (We ranked em at 10th…could be a mistake) 8—Chicago Bears (Big ol log jam atop the East) 9—Emerald City Homers (Transel…Chicago and Emerald City all at 2-1 in the East) 10—OkCowboy (WAY better than their record) 11—Robinators (Could be a long year) 12—The Waterboys (Winless but still a potent team) 13—Tony Sopranos Crew (The Don is having issues) 14—Pittsburgh Steelers (The Steealers need to score a bit more) 15—Teton Buffalo (Struggling) 16—Cleveland Browns (Ranked at 15th in the preseason….they may be worse then that) |

| Can the Titans add a THIRD banner this year??? |
| These Bears look more drowsy than dominant |
| OKOK!!! Enough with the fake updates! We get it! Do more updates or else these little half paragraph mini- updates show up…..with fake battles that really…aren’t. I mean come on. Robinators VS Fishermen? Fish take that every time. And The Rock, falling back to Earth? Rocky even started an injured McFadden last week he was so pissed…just to prove his point!! In any case, the REAL update is back and the real story is…NO ONE is out of it! No, really, with the exception of a few stragglers at the back of the pack not one team can be called dead. Yes, The Waterboys , Browns and The Crew are d…e…a…d…DEAD and OkCowboy…..well, I don’t know where we went wrong but picking them as the champ was a BIG mistake! But every other team is right in the thick of it. We’re still a month away from the playoffs but is it too soon for… ***** The Playoff Rankings!!!!??? No, its not! So we’re gonna give it a shot. We’ll rank the teams, name ALLLLLL the game winners AND…AND…tell you where they finish!! *********************************************** [#1 Seed] [7-2] Long Beach Snappers- The Snappers are in the top spot for the moment but a look a their schedule shows that its far from a cakewalk the rest of the way. Next week they travel to see The Outlaws and that may very well turn out to be a loss. But barring injury The Snappers could win out after that. Final 4 Games: Outlaws- Loss, Bears- Win, Homers- Win, Browns- Win Final Record- 10-3 ***** [#2 Seed] [7-2] Transel Titans- The Titans remain a powerhouse but they are also racking up big injures to some key RBs. They have overcome some major hurdles before and this is one team you NEVER count out. Their schedule mirrors that of the Snappers for a while before turning to some foes that may be easier to overcome. Trouble is, those injuries could bite them a bit down the stretch. Final 4 Games: Bears- Win, Outlaws- Loss, OkCowboy- Loss, Teton- Win Final Record- 9-4 ***** [#3 Seed] [6-3] Finally!!!- Ahh The Rock…the man NO ONE wants to see with the Title (and the open mic that comes with it). Right now, The Peoples Champ clings to the #3 slot by juuuuuust a hair. His team is loaded with WR talent but the loss of Jamaal is felt evermore with McFadden out as well. The strong D will help, and the schedule isn’t as bad as the top 2 seeds have it. Could The Rock climb even higher? Final 4 Games: Crew- Win, Fishermen- Loss, Gringos- Loss, Robinators- Win Final Record- 8-5 ***** [#4 Seed] [6-3] Fishermen- Only team in the world with the stones to keep a kicker who’s on IR. We like that and really…they haven’t needed that spot for anyone else. The Fish currently sit atop The West and guess what, that’s where they will stay. Final 4 Games: Gringos- Win, Finally- Win, Steelers- Loss, JeTs- Win Final Record- 9-4 ***** [#1 Wild Card] [6-3] Outlaws- Just a game behind the Snappers is a nice place to be. Injury free is an AMAZING place to be. And amazing is just what it will take to make this remaining schedule work in their favor. Don’t sleep on these Outlaws…they just might surprise you and run the table despite the long odds. Final 4 Games: Snappers- Win, Titans- Win, Bears- Win, Homers- Win Final Record- 10-3 ***** [#2 Wildcard] [6-3] Chicago Bears- At the moment, the Bears hold onto the last playoff spot. But we think we may have a pretender on our hands. Sure the Bears are a good team, but the schedule ahead is going to start awfully rough. If they manage some upsets, they’re in. If not, buh bye! Final 4 Games: Transel- Loss, Snappers- Loss, Outlaws- Loss, OkCowboy- Loss Final Record- 6-7 ***** [1 Game Back] [5-4] Robinators- Well someone had to have a gentle schedule the rest of the way and Robin Hood has drawn that straw. The team is mostly healthy and this stretch could be the one that gets these guys into the Playoffs. Final 4 Games: Waterboys- Win, JeTs- Win, Crew- Win, Finally- Loss Final Record- 8-5 ***** [1 Game Back] [5-4] Pittsburgh Steelers- Another lucky team here as they are largely free of injury for the moment. So the question is, do they have the players to make a run and take down The Rock? The schedule isn’t great but it also may be one they can handle. This looks like a helluva race…..that is until you see the final call…. Final 4 Games- JeTs- Win, Waterboys- Win, Fishermen- Win, Gringos- Win Final Record- 9-4 ***** [2 Games Back] [4-5] Dirty Gringos- The Gringos are currently 2 games back of the division lead and making that up is a long shot at best. They are also 2 back of a wildcard spot but stranger things have happened right? Real trouble here is starting 2 RBs….from the same team. That could hurt, but their remaining schedule is far from kind. Final 4 Games- Fishermen- Loss, Crew- Win, Finally- Win, Steelers- Loss Final Record- 6-7 ***** [2 Games Back] [4-5] Si JeTs- If there is a team that could make that magical run for a wildcard spot, its these guys. Hell, if Fitz plays like…Fitz, and Felix doesn’t go down this team could be a lot higher on this list. With a perfect schedule, we could have ourselves a Cinderella. Too bad the schedule isn’t perfect. Final 4 Games- Steelers- Loss, Robinators- Loss, Waterboys- Win, Fishermen- Loss Final Record- 5-8 ***** [2 Games Bck] [4-5] Teton Buffalo- There IS talent here. There are also very few injuries here. The schedule? Not to shabby. Could Teton be the team to rise up and claim a spot in the second season? It would take a BIG ol W at seasons end but maybe….just maybe, they can do it…..we just don’t think they will. Final 4 Games- OkCowboy- Win, Homers- Win, Browns- Win, Titans- Loss Final Record- 7-6 ***** [2 Games Back] [4-5] Emerald City Homers- Oh how joyous it would be to see Strickler make the Playoffs!! Yeah…not gonna happen. Its Tom Brady and a buncha light-weights and injured playa-wannabees. Final 4 Games- Browns- Win, Teton- Loss, Snappers- Loss, Outlaws- Loss Final Record- 5-8 **************************************** Well, that was easy!! So there we have it, all written is stone…yes STONE! The final outcome will be: #1 Seed: The 10-3 Outlaws #2 Seed: The 9-4 Transel Titans #3 Seed: The 9-4 Fishermen #4 Seed: The 9-4 Pittsburgh Steelers #1 Wild Card: The 10-3 Long Beach Snappers #2 Wild Card: The 8-5 Brahma Bull So, what do ya’ll think? Close? WAY off? Does OkCowboy have a chance? And what will the outcome be after this? A Fishermen win over Finally. A Steelers win over The Snappers. Then The Outlaws take down Pittsburgh while Transel wins over The Fish. A Titans V Outlaws Superbowl results with the winner being…….. |

| This is a VERY long update. So, when you get drowsy, simply scroll back up here, have a look at Stacy, wake up a lil, and read on........I said READ ON!!! |
| Its like The BW Post and The BW Gazette…two writers..TWO Playoff breakdowns…does it get any better?! (yeah, THIS would be The Post). Two more weeks have come and gone, time to see what…if anything, has changed! *** The PLAYOFF Update #1 Seed [9-2] Long Beach Snappers- So far so good. We thought they’d drop a game to the Outlaws but no such thing occurred and now it’s all Snappers until the finish. When Austin gets back, that finish could be the Title. Final 2 Games: Homers- Win, Browns- Win Final Record: 10-2 *** #2 Seed [8-3] Transel Titans- Spot on here. The Titans were upset by the mighty Outlaws last week but they still remain a game up in the East. No idea why but we still have them pegged to get taken down by OkCoboy this week. Transel is mostly healthy but some injuries to their backups could hurt if a starter goes down. Final 2 Games: OkCowboy- Loss, Teton- Win Final Record: 9-4 *** #3 Seed [7-4] Finally!!!- We have the record right so far but not the games. The Rock was upset by lowly Soprano (sry sir….so very sry, don’t kill my family) two weeks ago but took down The Fishermen last week to stay in our predicted record. This division is still anyone’s game but a MAJOR trade does have The Rock looking a little better. Does it change our prediction?? Final 2 Games: Gringos- Win, Robinators- Win Final Record: 9-4 *** #4 Seed [7-4] Robinators- Wow, what happened here?! Now we had this team pegged to win two in a row and they have but others in this division have sure fallen off. Anyhow, Rob sits in first in The West and as it stands now he could very well hang onto this spot. Final 2 Games: Crew- Win, Finally- Loss Final Record: 8-5 *** #1 Wild Card [7-4] Outlaws- Now we can’t help but take a look at our competition and when we do we see that…. THIS is the BW NFL Champ?? Wait, we DID have them in the Title Game didn’t we. But could they really win it ALL over the most dominant team this league has ever seen? They ARE healthy and they ARE playing well….a title? Hmmmm. Final 2 Games: Bears- Win, Homers- Win Final Record: 9-4 *** #2 Wild Card [7-4] Pittsburgh Steelers- We said that this team would make the playoffs and as of now, they are on their way. We also said they would win their last four games and so far so good. The trouble here is that neither QB is healthy at the moment. Still, we will stick with our predictions for the Steelers. Final 2 Games: Fishermen- Win, Gringos- Win Final Record: 9-4 *** 1 Game Back [6-5] Dirty Gringos- Well, the Gringos were two games back and it wasn’t looking good. Now though the Gringos have pulled into the hunt and are just a game out of the division lead. Their last two games are not easy though and they could lose both. Still, these predictions aren’t quite rock solid and it’ll take just one upset to turn this race on its ear. Final 2 Games: Finally- Loss, Steelers- Loss Final Record: 6-7 *** 1 Game Back [6-5] The Fishermen- And here we have a collapse. The Fish were on top of their division just two weeks ago but now they sit in third after losing two straight games. The trouble here is this team started drinking their own kool-aid on Cam and sat Stafford, the better option hands down (last week Cam may have cost them the game). Now they have two very nice QBs but may miss the Playoffs altogether. Has the trade deadline passed yet??? Final 2 Games: Steelers- Loss, JeTs- Win Final Record: 7-6 *** 1 Game Back [6-5] Chicago Bears- Yeah, we said the Bears were done and yeah they still are. Their injuries are mounting and it just doesn’t look good. We said they needed some upsets, now they need a miracle. Final 2 Games: Outlaws- Loss, OkCowboy- Loss Final Record: 6-7 *** 1 Game Back [6-5] Teton Buffalo- Now let’s get one thing straight here. The Buffalo Bills are my personal favorite NFL team. And if Teton Buffalo seemed to have any affiliation with them Bills I would be all over their story. But the fact of the matter is….they don’t. They have more in common with the Teton Buffalo Jerky company. Their logo is weak. Their owner has no personality and they don’t even own any real Bills! (Fitz don’t count since he has ripped out my heart in the past few weeks). This Buffalo….aint makin the Playoffs. Final 2 Games: Browns- Win, Titans- Loss Final Record: 7-6 ********************* All the rest of ya, so sad. So sad. So have the final playoff spots changed at all? #1 Seed: The 10-2 Long Beach Snappers #2 Seed: The 9-4 Brahma Bull #3 Seed: The 9-4 Transel Titans #4 Seed: The 8-5 Robinators #1 Wild Card: The 9-4 Outlaws #2 Wild Card: The 9-4 Pittsburgh Steelers Round One Steelers defeat Titans Outlaws defeat Robinators Round Two Snappers defeat Steelers Outlaws defeat Finally!!! BW Title Game Snappers Versus Outlaws……. |
| ***11-23-11*** |
| Two....Games.....Left |
| This is what everyone has been waiting for. The Playoffs. Time to see if anyone…anyone at all can stop the juggernaught known as The Titans. We won’t see them in action this week (or any other first week in the playoffs), but that doesn’t mean we don’t have some major games to play! ******************* # 3 Seed [9-4] Finally!!! VS #2 Wild Card [8-5] The Fishermen Well well, isn’t this ironic. The team that owns the man that The Rock wanted SO BADLY, is now the team The Rock must face in round 1. Finally had the better record this year and The Rock squeaked by The Fish in their only meeting. Will this time be any different? QB- Cam Cam Cam. Don’t care who is on the other side….wait..hold on….checking…..No Brady, No Rodgers, No Brees. Yeah…don’t care who is on the other side, Cam wins. Winner- Fishermen RB- Finally has McFadden, but he is out. Luckily their backups aren’t bad (Mendenhall and Blount). As for the Fish, its McCoy and Shonn Greene getting the starts. McCoy is a stud and Greene has been playing like one the last few weeks. Seems like another clear cut winner. Winner- Fishermen WR/TE- The Fish are SOLID with Wes, Graham and Dez but Finally….finally manages to offer some strong competition with Wallace, Marshall, Vernon and Harvin. Add in a little Crabtree and The Rock takes this side. Winner- Finally!!! Defense- Easy, the Fish don’t have one. Winner- Finally!!! Summary- This one, comes down to Cam. We will bet that if you remove the QBs from both teams, it’s a DAMN close game that could go either way by a few points. Add Cam and Rivers though, and we can see a clear winner. Our Pick- The Fishermen: 328-290 ******************** #4 Seed [8-5] Robinators VS #1 Wild Card [9-4] Outlaws Damnit, here we go again. A Game where the higher seed is the underdog. Stupid Snappers. Anyhow, this is a game we haven’t seen in a while. These two teams haven’t faced off since week six of last year! In that one the Robinators took it 295-249. Yeah, that matters little now. The Breakdown QB- Well Freeman is hurting so it looks like the Outlaws will go with Gabbert. Basically that means if the Robinators HAVE a QB, he’ll be the better option. As it is, they have Big Ben. Winner- Robinators RB- Sorry but there is no WAY Forte can play this week. That means the Robinators will go with Sproles and…Ricky Williams? So, basically we can determine that if the Outlaws have ANY RBs, this time THEY will be the better option. Its Benson and Jones-Drew. Not a thrilling combo but it should get the job done. Winner- Outlaws WR/TE- Outlaws have Jordy Nelson and Brandon Lloyd along with Mike Williams. The Robinators are bringing Colston and Roddy White along with Branch. The Outlaws also have Bowe. No real mega studs here and neither team believes in having a TE better than garbage…well, Davis was nice, but he done. Um….I dunno. Winner- Tie Defense- The Outlaws have one. The Robinators, not so much…ok, Woodson is nice but hes also hurt. Winner- Outlaws Summary- This is tougher than we thought it would be. If Forte was playing we might just see an upset but as it stands, Clifton moves on. Our Pick- The Outlaws: 291-277 |
| ***11-23-11*** |
| Two....Games.....Left |
| Wait. Hold on. What?!?! Titans......LOSE???? Wow. The Outlaws QB and ALL their starting WRs and TEs combined for under 75 points while their RBs managed just 50.....total. Yet it is the Outlaws moving on to the Title game. Add in the fact that the Fishermen were able to dismiss the Snappers and we havea title game that will result in a brand new champion, one who has never held the title before. Speaking of results....just who IS going to win this game? ******************* The Fishermen VS The Outlaws QB- Cam Cam Cam. Don’t care who is on the other side….wait..hold on….checking…..No Brady, No Rodgers, No Brees. Yeah…don’t care who is on the other side, Cam wins. ...This will hold true until someone proves us wrong. Winner- Fishermen RB- McCoy and Greene lead the rushing attack for the Fish and one is a sure thing. The other, can be up or down but lately Shonn Greene has been doing just fine. As for the Outlaws, they come in with MJD and Benson. MJD, sure thing. Benson, not so much. Still he too has played pretty well of late. Winner- Tie WR/TE- The Fish are SOLID with Wes, Graham and Dez ...just like we have said in the past. The Outlaws posses some talent of their own with Bowe, Lloyd and Floyd, but its clear who wins this battle. Winner- Fishermen Defense- And again, like we said weeks ago, the Fish don;t exactly hang their hat on dominating D. Winner- Outlaws Summary- This will be a good game but one man will make the difference, and grant a team a title. CAM. Our Pick- The Fishermen: 330-319 ******************** |
