Toledo Buzzing

There is excitement in the air around the Glass Bowl for the first time in many weeks. Could it be that the fans realize that the cavemen could run the table and make it to the playoffs again this year? Could it be that the team isn't dead, yet?

No, I think it is simply because the circus is in town. This week's matchup of 3-7 teams will see one advance toward the post season and the other head toward the first pick in next year's draft.

"I really hope that Bakersfield gets the pick," remarked general manager, Tonda. "They've had much more experience than we hope we will ever have with the first pick. Heck, we can't even make a late first round pick that produces, I sure wouldn't want the pressure of the # 1 choice."

To challenge the Bears this week we will play:

QB McNabb
RB Maroney and Gore (dnp Chatman)
REC Colston, S. Holmes and Burress (dnp Bennett)
TE Miller
K Reed
DEF Vikings

Woodchucks Taking a Stroll on Easy Street

With last week's complacent win over the Circus Bears, Athens’ Head Coach John Elway decided to keep up the winning strategy. Calling no practices all week, Elway gave the team the week off. Elway did not call a pre-game press conference to announce this week’s lineup. Instead, the press hunted him down inside a Circuit City, eating wings and watching TV with fellow Head Coach Mike Ditka. On a stained napkin, Elway posted the starting line-up:

QB – Marc Bulger
RB - Brian Westbrook (DNS – Rudi Johnson), Ryan Grant
WR – Randy Moss, Joey Galloway, Lav. Coles
TE – Antonio Gates
PK – Matt Stover
Def - Seahawks

Downward Spiral Continues Grifters GM Driven Mad LAS VEGAS--Despite having the most elite talent in the BFL, the Grifters continue to slide down the standings and are in danger of dropping out of the playoffs. In three of the last four weeks, the Grifters opponent has been the top scoring team in the league, proving that nothing motivates a team more than playing against Sin City. The team's 4-6 record has taken its toll on owner and general manager Jake Bell, who disappeared after Sunday's game and didn't return to his home. After 48 hours, police found Bell living in a cardboard box behind Caesar's Palace, eating food thrown away by buffet patrons. "My god, I am stuffed. I don't think I've ever eaten so much," groaned Bell, who in 2001 became the fattest man in the world. "You wouldn't believe all the food that people throw away. If I ever see another lobster, I think I'll throw up." Bell, who claims to have elevated himself to "King of the Bums," vowed he wouldn't return to the "real world" until the Grifters win a "friggin' game goddammit." Until then, he will continue living in his box and hiding in bushes to ambush people wearing apparel from non-Grifter BFL teams.

A Rematch to Win!

The Mennonites have been looking forward to this game since the Bucco Bruce Bowls' end last year. A chance to prove what they already knew, that they should have won that game last year. That team was built for a championship and they are back this year to prove that they are perrennial contenders and that their homefield really lies in the Big Sombrero.

QB: Tony Romo

RB: Ladanian Tomlinson and Adrian Peterson

WR: T.O., Berrian, Henderson

TE: Greg Olsen

PK: Wilkins

Defense: Pitt

Ours is not to Question Why.....

After a surprising night of partying, Squid Owner Dave Bargman is under the gun to throw in a line-up of a fast falling team. When Bargman awoke this morning he found team QB Tom Brady missing from his bunk. Is this something sinister? Jealousy from other teams? Fearful of the power that is the OMAC named Tom Brady? Only time will tell. For now the Squid are forced to Start first time QB Philip Rivers in his stead.

QB- Rivers
RB- Jones-Drew and Portis
WR- Lee Evans, Marty Booker and Dwayne Bowe (DNP- Amani Toomer)
TE- Randy McMichael
PK- Vinatieri
D- Oakland

Desperation Time

That's right, the playoffs are still in sight for the Bakersfield Performing Circus Bears, but with the losses piling up these last few weeks we are desperate for a win. Perhaps facing a team that's already clinched the playoffs will give us the drive necessary to get things back in gear. (A little lethargy on the part of Athens wouldn't hurt either.)



QB- Peyton Manning

RB- Brandon Jacobs

RB- Jamal Lewis (DNP Cedric Benson)

WR- Donald Driver

WR- Muhsin Muhammad (DNP Isaac Bruce)

WR- Brandon Stokley (DNP Bryant Johnson)

TE- Dallas Clark (DNP Jeremy Shockey)

K- Jason Elam

D- Indianapolis

Atoms Week 10 Lineup

Atoms Travel to the West Coast in Bucco Bruce Bowl X Rematch Beverly Hills, (CA)-- The composure of the teams has changed (mostly), but the pressure of the game remains the same, as last year's Bucco Bruce Bowl participants ready themselves to go at it on Monday night. The BFL Champion Atoms are struggling at 5-4, but with a win and a Grifter victory over the Fifes, will be in sole position in first place in the McKay. The Mennonites (6-3) need a win equally bad to gain ground on the first place Woodchucks and hold off the surging Mounties. The Atoms made a couple roster moves this week, placing running back Ronnie Brown on IR, and releasing kicker Olindo Mare, and acquiring running back Justin Fargas and kicker Mason Crosby from the waiver wire. Both will see immediate action this week against the Mennonites. "They'll make excellent additions to the team," said Head Coach, Barry Alvarez. Injuries have plagued the Springfield backfield this year. An unnamed source reported that General Manager Rob Hart even claimed to have the reverse of the Midas touch when it came to running backs, stating that everything he touches turns to (expletive deleted). Starting Lineup this week: QB: Brett Favre RB: Steven Jackson RB: Justin Fargas WR: Anquan Boldin WR: Shaun McDonald WR: Vincent Jackson TE: Tony Gonzalez K: Mason Crosby D: Green Bay

oh Toledo!

The Mounties arrived in Toledo this morning. Keeping with the Novewmber sweeps week theme (started by American tv netwrok nbc), the team rode actual moose through the northwoods of Canada and across the border to arrive in Toledo. Some estimate we saved thousands of glaaons of gas, reduced noise pollution by spades, and allowed the team to really get to know each other over the 5 and a half day trek. Needless to say it was nice to reach the comforts of the vistors l;ocker room at the glass bowl.

Not sure if this will effect their performance or not, but the Mounties sent this team out to play:

QB: Kitna
RB Lendale White
RB: Reggie Bush
WR- TJ Houshmanzadeh
WR: Torry Holt
WR: Calvin Johnson
TE: Jason Witten
K: Jason HAnson
D: Broncos
