NPL Week 10 – Results!

In three years, the NPL will become the largest supplier of football prediction systems. All football broadcasters are upgraded with NPL computers, becoming fully unmanned. Afterwards, they pick with a perfect operational record. The NPL Funding Bill is passed. The NPL-AI goes online August 4th, 2027. Human decisions are removed from picks. The NPL begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th.

It’s the NPL Write Up, Ah-nold style!

The NPL players were better than the ESPN experts this week

On the opening kickoff, the Cannibals went full testicular rage on the Sausages, thwacking Steven’s receiving team right in the mommy-daddy buttons. This set the tone for the game, and Chris cruised easily to the W.

“You guys are nothing but a bunch of sleazy con men in red suits.”

The Axell Abactors have been playing well this season, while the Ballerinas, one of the better teams last year, has struggled. But, DaVena found out the boys in red were maybe not worth the hype.

Game of the Week

“I did nothing, the pavement was his enemy!”

It wasn’t exactly an exciting, high-scoring affair in PRIIIIIIIME TIIIIIIIME this Monday. The most exciting moment of the game is when LB Ricky Mean got a late push out of bounds on RB Carey Bugh, who then cracked his femur when he flipped over the bench and landed on the paved track that circles the field.
