Week 5: A Couple of Nail Biters

Game Recaps:

Rahman's Noodles 50
Ball Handlers 49

This was a great game highlitghted by two of the best female QBs in the league. Kat Amirpashaie and Jeannine Panzera each contributed 4 TDs , but Kat and Rahman's Noodles were able to get one more extra point to secure the victory. On another note, I would just like to commend the referees of this game for doing such a great job and calling a completely fair game. One of the referees (who shall remain nameless) showed up early like he does every week, set up the fields, and got everyone organized to ensure games started on time...all while hungover. Well done good sir.

Straight Cash Homeys 8
Hung Jurists 50

Hung Jurists overwhelmed Straight Cash Homeys on offense and defense. Wyatt Taylor and Dave Esposito returned interceptions for touchdowns. Wyatt Taylor also threw 6 TD passes. A special thanks to whichever ref decided to keep score using roman numerals. I had so much fun counting the notches on the score sheet. Adding up the points on the score sheet is already problematic since I haven't done simple math in 15 years, but you managed to take it to a whole new level. THANKS!!

The Fighting Pacifists 48
The Prosecution 21

A battle between 1L guys teams. In the end the favored Fighting Pacifists pulled off the victory lead by Richard Haywood who ran for one TD and threw 4 more...a solid game despite his affiliation to the UNC Tarheels. Nate Sizemore also scored a touchdown off an interception for the Fighting Pacifists.

Naked Authority 26
2 Girls, 1 Ball 46

2 Girls, 1 Ball got solid contributions from a few team members. John McClaurin threw and ran for TDs. Dave Rivard caught a TD and returned an interception for a TD. Liz "Soul Eater" Boudris also threw for a TD. I'm not sure where she got the nickname from, but I don't want to be the one to find out. Kristen Booros had a complete game in a losing effort for Naked Authority. Booros ran for a TD, threw a TD, and returned an interception for a TD.

The Pac 39
ME 41
This was a hotly contested game. In the end the wily veteran's prevailed over their inexperienced counterparts. The highlight of the game had to be ME's two-point conversion in the first half that was retried 3-4 times for various penalties including a false start, 2 illegal rushes, and maybe a pass interference. Who knew that this conversion would prove to be the winning points for ME. Orlanda (formerly known as Alex) Woodson may or may not still be gloating about the touchdown pass he cought despite losing the game...proving he might actually be more like Randy Moss than first conceived.

Breakfast is for Closers 34
WWR 32

The third close game of the week, this battle of co-ed squads came down to the final minutes of the game. WWR lead at the end of the first half thanks to touchdowns by captain Katie Amaro and Matt Vaughan. Breakfast came back in the second half sparked by an interception returned for a touchdown by Brian Mills. BMills also caught two TD passes from Seth Scott, who threw 4 total. Breakfast completed a double points touchdown in the second half to a girl who isn't deserving of a shout out in the blog.

Congrats guys...
