That can't be right- a high 16 for enthusiasm? Being out of the cup, I don't think you can get that much anymore even immediately after a game ends, much less by the time the following game rolls around?

I was being sarcastic... It's impossible to go above 15 and that's only in B3 or maybe game 3 of playoff if you've won the cup playing all TIE

bah! Missed 2 predictions this time! Well, looks like Lake Charles hopes of playoffs are over........

Games of the Week [7/17]

Ok, looks like Lake Charles is done, but that doesn't mean they can't play spoiler! Well here are some interesting headlines.......


Beyond the CT
After a purchase, Dong Energy may have taken the throne in DIII.6, but maybe they could be upset?


Fighting to Stay
Well, teams at the bottom of the Grat 8 are fighting masssively to stay out of 6th,7th, and 8th place. feet still have gone no-where, except each second they stay in that 8th Spot, the closer it gets to where they could relegate to D4. Well here are the matchups


Well those are the matchups worth watching yall...........


Dong Energy vs. Ron Swanson
Got this one in the bag. They're gonna win by 15. Would be shocked if Ron CTed. But still Dong won this league already.

Marshland vs. Lengends
Is that even spelled correctly? Anyways the 'Lengends' will probably win this out, but you never know. This is gonna be a close one, and will decide the relegaton implications.

Flash Mashers vs. Natellio.
I think Nate will save some enth. up here........

Jack Acid vs. Lake Charles
Jack has to win to stay in the playoff hunt. But I think that Lake will try to play spoiler.

Eclypze vs. Extra Crispy
since ECL is tanking, I give the win to EC. Win by 25 I think.

Couple of things...

1) Dong has not won this league
2) Natellio how do you pronounce your name? I've always thought it was nuh-tell-ee-oh, am I wrong?

huh? I always thought it was

nat-ell-io idk

You just spelled his name with dashes... I'm talking about the pronunciation. Whether it's is nuh-tell-ee-oh or nate-ell-ee-oh or something different. When you kept calling him 'nate' it got me thinking about how he says his name.

You just spelled his name with dashes...

This is going to have me laughing for the rest of the day.

Lengends is right, I've yet to build a team of legends...when I do, all I gotta do is drop the first "n" and no one will notice lol

Haha. You are correct, sir!

Nuh-tell-ee-oo is acceptable.

Also, very surprised you normalled me. And actually pretty happy with my teams performance given your higher enthusiasm.

edit: Agree that Dong has not won the league yet. Chek is putting up crazy ratings since buying the beast and it will be hard to stop. Dong has more depth though. Should be fun to see if you guys can both get through to the finals.

Plus, Ron Swanson hasn't lost since the 90's.

The playoffs are closing in. A couple of notes:

In the Big 8 all of the talk goes to Dong Energy and Cathar, but Swanson has won 10 straight now (with quality wins such as Dong Energy, Flash Mashers and the Traptors). East Gary has also won 4 straight and 11 of 12. Don't fall asleep on those guys!

One more loss for Pimps in Training or a win from either Jack Acid or Lake Charles would assure relegation. Bummer, friend.

Still a log jam in spots 3-7 in the Great 8. Advantage right now to Extra Crispy with the PD lead, plus an anticipation of losses for Eclypze.

Flash Mashers now has 4 straight games with a sensational or better inside scoring rating. Don't plan on stopping him inside at this point.

POWER RANKINGS
1. Flash Masher, 21.006. A Dong loss and absurd ratings gives him back the #1 spot.
2. Dong Energy, 19.853
3. Cathar Heretics, 14.514
4. East Gary Eagles, 10.157
5. Toronto Traptors, 9.751
6. Ron Swanson, 8.590. Should be higher after 10 straight...
7. Extra Crispy, 2.158
8. Natellio, -1.295
9. Lake Charles, -3.536. Big win there against Jack. A loss would have been bad news.
10. Jack Acid, -4.309
11. Pimps In Training, -9.276. Tenth best average rating, but just can't get wins. Big bummer.
12. Door Mats, -10.404. We're waiting for you win streak!!
13. Eclypze, -10.594.
14. Lengends, -11.699. Takes 5th place outright, but needs a couple more to secure it.
15. 2 Left Feet, -12.020
16. Marshland Mammals, -20.063
