Game of the Week: Seattle Totems at Nova Scotia Sharks

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Nova Scotia Sharks
For this game, a good bet is that Joe Hornsby - DE will ruin your day on offense. This will either be wildly entertaining or a dull grind. I see no middle between the two.

Mary Moore : Seattle Totems
The Totems have really strong team play. You look at a player like Gary Johnson - C and what he does for a team. He makes everyone around him better.

Jim Nox : Seattle Totems
For this game, my opinion is that the defense will need to contain a player like Patrick Pierce - RB. Expect him to show up in a big way. This will be a very entertaining game.

Darren Francis : Seattle Totems
This should be obvious to anyone who looks a the teams.

Week 14: QB Jerry Tate (MEM) wins Offensive Player of the Week

The league announced Memphis Pharaohs quarterback Jerry Tate has been named Offensive Player of the Week.

The Pharaohs defeated the Toronto North, 34 to 17. Tate did his part, throwing 4 touchdowns, completing 20 of 34 passes for 491 yards. His outstanding performance now brings his season Touchdown to Interception Ratio to 15 to 3, and a passer rating of 94.4.

Week 14: CB Roger Byers (NSS) wins Defensive Player of the Week

CB Roger Byers of the Nova Scotia Sharks has earned the Defensive Player of the Week award. Byers finished with 4 Tck, 1 Int, 1 Def TD.

Game Recaps for Week 14

Reapers - 31, Totems - 31
Bears - 23, RoughRiders - 17
Pharaohs - 34, North - 17

Game of the Week: New Orleans Reapers at Seattle Totems

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Seattle Totems
I think having a team players like Gary Johnson - C is the kind of thing that will help the Totems win this game.

Mary Moore : Seattle Totems
But it will be a close game.

Jim Nox : Seattle Totems
When you think of the players that will be on the field, I predict that they have to contain Matthew Neely - DT. I think they will fail. Expect him to show up in a big way and make a difference. It may come down to the wire though.

Darren Francis : Seattle Totems
Certainly, this offense will have a good game. They are 1st in the league passing touchdowns with 32. They are 3rd in the league passing yards per game. They average 240.2! They are maulers, 4th in the league in pancakes. They are 5th in the league average yards per rush. They are 2nd in the league rushing touchdowns with 19. They are 3rd in the league rushing yards per game. They average 140.3! They are 1st in the league points scored per game. They average 35.4!

Jeffrey Osorio - QB is playing great!

Jeffrey Osorio - QB is looking like the bees knees out there so far this season. If he keeps playing such formidable football, he’s got a shot at getting himself a nice new contract.

Thibodeau still having red flags

Gamblers have confirmed that they have made Thomas Thibodeau - G available for federal investigators. Thomas Thibodeau - G is at it again, it seems. Clearly, after 4 seasons in the league, Thomas Thibodeau - G simply cannot separate himself from his earlier lifestyle and friends. Whether this turns out to be a disciplinary issue or not, Thibodeau needs to be on the straight and narrow if he wants to stay employed in this league.

Week 13: RB Antonio Mcgee (TOR) wins Offensive Player of the Week

The honor comes after Mcgee's 16 att, 156 yds, 2 TD performance against the New Orleans Reapers. Mcgee from Iowa was selected in round 1, 4 years ago.

Game of the Week: Seattle Totems at Houston RoughRiders

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Seattle Totems
Looking at the two rosters, I sense that there is this RB named Patrick Pierce. I expect everyone will be watching him, and he will shine.

Mary Moore : Seattle Totems
Team play. Playing as a unit. You cannot discount the difference it makes. I am thinking of a guy like Gary Johnson - C. Playing as a team is what gets them the win. But it will be a close game.

Jim Nox : Houston RoughRiders
There will be some wild plays in this game.

Darren Francis : Seattle Totems
They will win again this week.

Windsor Gamblers pull off the upset!

The Windsor Gamblers have managed an unlikely win against Memphis Pharaohs.
The Pharaohs appeared dejected towards the end of the game, while the Gamblers kept their cool and drove the victory home. Most pundits had expected the Pharaohs to win with ease, and the loss to such an inferior opponent is a tough blow to the lofty expectations for the program. Meanwhile, the Gamblers fans were celebrating in the street, having had their hopes for the future bolstered at least momentarily.

Rodriguez stirring trouble

An individual with connections in the Bears' locker room says that younger players are gravitating toward Earl Rodriguez - P. Coaches are not happy with the situation, because they fear Rodriguez may be a bad influence.

Reapers lost. Reapers casts blame.

Kennith Parra blasted the effort of some teammates after the loss. 'These guys have to show up' he said. 'We all have to take responsibility and make sure we are prepared and some guys are letting the team down'. Kennith Parra - FB was clearly upset after the Reapers loss. 'We need to look at ourselves. If you are Justin Smith (G), can you look at your performance and be happy? This whole team needs to work harder. This whole team needs to decide what we want', the FB said.

Week 12: QB Zackary Robinson (WIN) wins Offensive Player of the Week

The league announced Windsor Gamblers quarterback Zackary Robinson has been named Offensive Player of the Week.

Game of the Week: Seattle Totems at BCFC Bears

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Seattle Totems
The difference in this game will be their offense. They are 1st in the league passing touchdowns with 24. They are 3rd in the league passing yards per game. They average 230.2! They are maulers, 5th in the league in pancakes. They are 5th in the league average yards per rush. They are 3rd in the league rushing touchdowns with 16. They are 3rd in the league rushing yards per game. They average 134.6! They are 1st in the league points scored per game. They average 32.9! This will either be wildly entertaining or a dull grind. I see no middle between the two.

Mary Moore : BCFC Bears
The referees will have their work cut out for them. This will be very competitive and intense.

Jim Nox : BCFC Bears
In the context of this game, it seems a given that there is this CB named Daniel Limon. He is getting paid a lot. The reason he is getting paid a lot is that he is really good. Do I need to say more?Boy, oh boy am I looking forward to this.

Darren Francis : Seattle Totems
You just have to look at their defense. They are 2nd in points allowed, averaging only 18.4. They are 3rd in pass defense. They only give up 216.1 per game. They are 1st in run defense. Giving up only 71.2 yards per game. They are 5th in the league pass average yards per rush. They are 1st in forced fumbles.

Seeley cementing his status.

A person familiar with the Totems says that Dean Seeley - DE is among the favorites in his generation for the future hall of fame. Clearly, after 13 seasons in the league, playing at his level, it is hard to dispute. Hall of fame or not, Seeley is a legend, not only in Seattle, but nationally. The Totems have made no comment on the subject before, but seem fairly satisfied with the whole thing.

Totems victory feels good to Fitch.

Benny Fitch did not hold his tongue in a postgame interview. The Totems CB made no efforts to hide his lack of respect for the North. 'I think this game proves where our team is, and that the North just are not at our level', he said.

Week 11: RB Raymond Lawson (HRR) wins Offensive Player of the Week

The honor comes after Lawson's 30 att, 127 yds, 1 TD performance against the Windsor Gamblers. Lawson from East Carolina was selected in round 6, 2 years ago.

CB Razo's ball hawking ability was on display in the Sharks 48-13 game with the New Orleans Reapers. He finished with 5 Tck, 2 Int, 1 Def TD.

"George has the unique ability to make plays and generate turnovers." -Sharks Defensive Coordinator

Game Recaps for Week 11

Sharks - 48, Reapers - 13
Totems - 34, North - 24
RoughRiders - 33, Gamblers - 7
Bears - 22, Pharaohs - 17

Game of the Week: Seattle Totems at Toronto North

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Seattle Totems
This is just what my gut tells me.

Mary Moore : Seattle Totems
The difference in this game will be their offense. They are 1st in the league passing touchdowns with 21. They are 3rd in the league passing yards per game. They average 234.8! They are maulers, 4th in the league in pancakes. They are 5th in the league average yards per rush. They are 3rd in the league rushing touchdowns with 15. They are 3rd in the league rushing yards per game. They average 132.9! They are 1st in the league points scored per game. They average 32.8!

Giving up only 73.7 yards per game. They are 5th in the league in tackles for loss. They are 5th in the league pass average yards per rush. They are 2nd in forced fumbles.

Game of the Week: Nova Scotia Sharks at BCFC Bears

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : BCFC Bears
The Bears are a much better team than everyone thinks If they lose this one, I will never hear the end of it.

Mary Moore : BCFC Bears
They will be angry after losing that last game. They will be fired up to win here. You heard it here first.

Jim Nox : Nova Scotia Sharks
This defense is likely to step up this week. They are 4th in sacks with 31. They are 1st in points allowed, averaging only 13.2. They are 3rd in pass defense. They only give up 208.4 per game. They are 1st in run defense. Giving up only 75.5 yards per game. They are 2nd in interceptions with 5. They are 2nd in the league in tackles for loss. They are 4th in the league pass average yards per rush. They are 4th in forced fumbles. I am really on the fence for this one, but I stand my prediction.

Darren Francis : BCFC Bears
Head coach Ellsworth Robinson has this team running like a well oiled machine. He is running an explosive defense.

North racking up yards!

The offense of the North is slaying everybody this year, posting 3010 total yards and 213 points thus far in 8 games.

The o-line has steamrolled opponents for 246 pancakes this season while surrendering only 15 quarterback sacks.

Top receiver trio?

Game of the Week: Nova Scotia Sharks at Seattle Totems

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Seattle Totems
We are doing a sweepstakes at the network, and I look forward to raking in the winnings for this bet.

Mary Moore : Nova Scotia Sharks
It is never a single player who wins. It is the TEAM that wins. Playing as a team is what you need to do to win tough games like this. This is where guys like Patrick Kirk - T, Dwain Reyes - C and Lawrence Baumgartner - WR come in and makes the difference for this game.

Jim Nox : Seattle Totems
Looking at the two rosters, I sense that Justin Norris - QB is going to wreck dominate for the Totems offense. This may be where we see their true colors.

Darren Francis : Seattle Totems
I do not think their offense gets enough credit. They are 2nd in the league passing touchdowns with 17. They are 3rd in the league passing yards per game. They average 247.3! They are maulers, 5th in the league in pancakes. They are 2nd in the league rushing touchdowns with 14. They are 3rd in the league rushing yards per game. They average 131.6! They are 1st in the league points scored per game. They average 35.9!

Reyes cementing his status.

Nova Scotia has confirmed that the media presense of Dwain Reyes - C is getting a lot of attention. His recent interviews have gathered a lot of viewers, and fans regularly chants his name when he sees the field.

Who is the better QB? Gamblers' Zackary Robinson weighs in

QB Zackary Robinson had words of praise for himself in a recent interview. 'I am one of the best QBs in the game', he said. 'haha, and then these clowns on the internet think Monty Allison is even comparable to me. You pick and drill, and I would gladly show how wrong they are' said the Gamblers QB. He added: 'Sure, I do not want to be mean, Monty Allison is a decent QB, but seriously just look at the tape'.

Game of the Week: Toronto North at Nova Scotia Sharks

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Nova Scotia Sharks
They won their last game, they will win this game.

Mary Moore : Toronto North
I have a lot of respect for head coach Frederick Boggs. He is doing great things in Toronto. Offensively he is a great and innovative thinker. He preperation is impeccable.

Jim Nox : Nova Scotia Sharks
Looking at the teams, I think a good bet is that Dwain Reyes - C is the guy to watch, this man is pivotal to the Sharks offense. But it will be a close game.

Darren Francis : Toronto North
For this game, I think we need to recognize that Eugene Sanders - CB will be a key figure in this game. Do not sleep on this guy's ability.

Defense dominates in Memphis.

Game of the Week: Seattle Totems at New Orleans Reapers

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : New Orleans Reapers
I see them winning again this week.

Mary Moore : Seattle Totems
The Totems have really strong team play. You look at a player like Gary Johnson - C and what he does for a team. He makes everyone around him better.

Jim Nox : Seattle Totems
When you think of the players that will be on the field, it is likely that Lawrence Slattery - DE will not be a key player. He is hard to gameplan for. You blink for a second and he has taken over the game.

Darren Francis : Seattle Totems
They have a dominant offense. They do not get enough credit for that. They are 1st in the league passing touchdowns with 13. They are 3rd in the league passing yards per game. They average 243.4!

The leadership on this team is great. Having a guy like Joe Hornsby - DE on the field and in the locker room is exactly what you need to win games like this.

Jim Nox : Nova Scotia Sharks
This is just what my gut tells me. This may be one for the ages.

Definitely the losing streak is on their minds. They will get the win and break it in this game. Expect a great game.

Is Dorsey a bad influence?

Bears lost. Bears blames coaching.

Harsh words after the Bears game from Forrest Jorgenson. The Bears T pointed the fingers at the coaching staff, suggesting lackluster preparation was to blame for the loss. Forrest Jorgenson - T was clearly upset after the Bears loss. 'We learned a lot. We learned a lot about our coaches. We realized that there is a reason we are losing.

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Nova Scotia Sharks

Mary Moore : BCFC Bears
For this match up, my perspective is that the offense will struggle to counter Daniel Limon - CB. Watch out for him. This will be watercooler talk on monday. Do not miss it.

Jim Nox : BCFC Bears
I expect some incredible plays in this game.

Darren Francis : BCFC Bears
I just really like the way they coach in BCFC. Head coach Ellsworth Robinson is doing great things. He is has a really good understanding of what works on defense.

Tate a Pharaohs legend

Memphis has confirmed that the Pharaohs are hoping to induct Jerry Tate into their hall of fame - eventually. This has the characteristics of a media stunt, but Pharaohs is undeniably a legend. Not just locally, but nationally.

Martinez points fingers after Reapers loss.

Edward Martinez seemed almost depressed in an interview after the Reapers lost. He indicated that a big factor in the loss was the Reapers' coaching, that appeared one step behind at every turn. The Reapers CB said he felt they were outcoached in their latest game. 'We seem to always come up short in the critical situations. I feel like the players are giving their all, but that our coaches just are not holding up their end of the bargain. Especially Head Coach William Jones has been a dissapointment, he is just not rising to the moment.', he said.

Mary Moore : Nova Scotia Sharks
Do not sleep on this defense. They greatly outscore them here.

Jim Nox : Nova Scotia Sharks
I am sure head coach Shawn Reynolds has something up his sleeve for this game. He is has a really good understanding of what works offensively. He is one of the best defensive minds. This will be a very entertaining game.

Darren Francis : Nova Scotia Sharks
Looking at how the teams match up, I think that you cannot keep Joe Hornsby - DE down for an entire game. Eventually he will come out of the blue and make a big play. This will be watercooler talk on monday. Do not miss it.

Hall in trouble again?

The commisioner, in a recent interview, hinted that new investigations were under way concerning RoughRiders' FS James Hall James Hall - FS is at it again, it seems. Clearly, after 3 seasons in the league, James Hall - FS simply cannot separate himself from his earlier lifestyle and friends. Whether this turns out to be a disciplinary issue or not, Hall needs to be on the straight and narrow if he wants to stay employed in this league.

Lamb complains after North loss.

I really think their defense will make the difference.

Mary Moore : Memphis Pharaohs
I find it hard to bet against coach James Andrew. He always has them well prepared. He is running a great offense.

Jim Nox : New Orleans Reapers
Having team player who help coordinate everyone else is invaluable and definitely helps the Reapers win this game. If you look at their roster, I see Edward Martinez - CB and Jonathan Bennett - T playing this kind of role.

Darren Francis : New Orleans Reapers
This is just going by my intuition. If they lose this one, I will never hear the end of it.

Gamblers lost. Gamblers casts blame.

Hosea Murillo pointed the finger at his fellow Gamblers players after they lost. 'We have to step up, all of us.' he said. 'But some guys are not stepping up and we end up losing. They need to get their head in the game', he continued. Hosea Murillo - FS was clearly upset after the Gamblers loss. 'We need to look at ourselves.
