Completely out of ideas of who to quote or where to find inspiration for the write-ups, this writer returns to the well and just spews the first nonsense that comes to his head. You’re welcome, NPL. You’re welcome, WORLD!

It’s the NPL Write-Up, Week 12!

Berkenbile
vs
Ryan

Getting down to crunch time and the Reremice get a timely win, doubling up the Baboons. Victory is owed, in part, to Reremice personnel rigging the visiting locker room with a series booby traps right out of Home Alone before halftime.

Jerry
vs
Ricky

The Jaws-of-Life complete the season sweep over division rival, Ricky. They needed the bonus period this time around, but mostly because the AirBnB’s they rented for after the game had been double booked and they needed the extra time to find another place to stay.

JERRY WINS, 39-30

The BB Cannons didn’t need any favors to stay in the playoff hunt, but that didn’t prevent the Cari Bous from displaying their generous spirit. They gift a win to Brent here.

The Braggadocios spoil the late season effort of the Adam Bombs, handing them a big loss when they’re clawing their way toward the division lead. Will the A-Bombs recover from this one?

The Zeros shoot down the Wrecking Balls with a late season victory and finish with an even 3-3 record in the division, splitting every series with their division rivals. And they get to hang on to the NPL Title Belt for one more week! Nice!

The Evil Entities clinched the division championship a while ago, so one would assume that they’d take the foot off the gas here a little later in the season. But those fucks have no chill. They crush the Martians for the W.
