The NPL sets a new low with NINE teams failing to show up for their games, despite multiple reminders. This more than doubles the previous no-show record. Half of those that did show up are in various states of frustration, having to lose to their opponents, while their division rivals are simply gifted a win. It’s a dark day for the NPL.
The Reremice bounce back, toppling the Baboons before they could get any momentum going in the Prophet Division. This puts both teams at 2-3 on the year, but only one game back in the most competitive division in the NPL. RYAN WINS, 34-27
The Javelineers turn to JVIII to lead the offense once again. He does an admiral job, tossing three touchdown passes in the losing effort. However, the Minotaurs otherwise dominated in every other aspect of the game. Emerging as the only winning record in the Prophet Division, MICHAEL WINS, 45-22
The 3-1 rookie franchise Samuel Sackbuts host the 4-0 sophomore franchise and Title Belt holder in the Matt Micropolitans. Samuel boasts the top offense in the Soothsayer Conference after five weeks, but could not overpower the current Title Belt trend of “Win, Defend, Lose”. This is Matt’s “Defend” step and it is the way. MATT WINS, 19-5
Neither Jason nor Vince submitted picks.
Jerry gets right back on their winning ways, shutting out the Rock Lobsters in this one. Ricky is still in the hunt early on, just two games back from first place. Plenty of time for Rhino Mean to perfect his ‘Falcon Punch’ stiff arm. JERRY WINS, 20-0
Cari did not submit picks. BRENT WINS, 29-0
LeScoot did not submit picks. BRANDON WINS, 28-0
The Adam Bombs just can’t catch a break. They went toe to toe with the Blue Tits on offense in this one, then watched it slip away in overtime. Meanwhile, one third of the league gifted wins to their opponents. Life is not fair. BETTE WINS, 40-31
Kelly did not submit picks. ETHAN WINS, 18-0
Miranda did not submit picks. RACHEL WINS, 35-0
Corey did not submit picks. LACI WINS, 37-0
The Androids bounced back nicely after no-showing last week. Apparently they did not get the memo that Week 5 was the impromptu ‘walk-off’ protest from players around the league. They demolish the Travis Tichorrhines in this one. ANDREW WINS, 38-6
The poor Sausages put up an impressive 48 points in a losing effort in a week where just about any other opponent would have been an easy victory. The keys for the team bus have been hidden to prevent an outraged player or coach from jerking the wheel and ending their misery. JOEL WINS, 49-48
Chris did not submit picks. BRIAN WINS, 38-0
Like the outrage felt by the Steven Sausages in their high scoring loss, the Jellyfish similarly raise their hands in a collective “Are you fucking kidding me?!” loss to the host DaVena Ballerinas in overtime. The Jellyfish get their first L of the year as the Ballerinas dance their way to a tie atop the division. DAVENA WINS, 57-52
In PRIIIIIIIME TIIIIIIIME… Axell did not submit picks. KEVIN WINS, 56-0
