It was big weekend for the UMFL. Big offensive performances in the NFL means big points scored in the UMFL. It seemed like you needed to break 100 to win this week. Here are the results...
T3SNBN 116- Tax Dodgers 99
Rex's Team 101- Avalon Aces 91
Huachuka Chukars 113- Mighty Birnkrant Moose 108
Quite Smashing Pumpkins 106- The J Team 58
HB Footballers 89- Canoga Lakes Capitalists 81
Grape Stompers 90- Radisson Rebels 88
Thunder Mountain Lightning 110- Little Flowers of Jesus 106
The Huntresses 89- Creek Trail Burros 77
Rancho Eagles 86- Tubby Corgis 71
Three Things from this past weekend...
1. Being a kicker in the NFL is a tough job. Just ask Sebastian Janikowski and Garrett Hartley.
2. The San Francisco 49ers are in deep trouble and their schedule doesn't help them in the next few weeks.
3. The Steelers are rolling without Ben Roethlesberger. I hope he doesn't blow it for them when he comes back.
Folks, remember to get your starting lineups in by 8:00 PM Saturday night. The byes begin in the NFL this week. Dallas, Kansas City, Minnesota, and Tampa Bay are all off this week.
A final note...
A couple of days ago, one of the greats of the game passed away. George Blanda died at age 83. Blanda's incredible 26 seasons in the NFL and AFL will never be equaled. He retired in 1976, one month shy of his 49th birthday, still able to hit 50-yard field goals and throw 50-yard TD passes. He played for great coaches, that included Bear Bryant (when Bryant was the HC at Kentucky), George Halas with the Bears, and the legendary John Madden with the Raiders. He was one of the last great all-around players. He could run, throw, and kick. He also holds a unique place in Topps football card history. Back when the 1975 Topps football card set came out, his bio and lifetime stats took up so much space he has two cards in the set. He's on cards 7 and 8. He is an iconic symbol of the game and is greatly missed.
Until Next week folks,
-The Commissioner
