Stankoniforous [Stan-koh-ni-foh-rus] One glanced at the week 6 schedule and there is a full plate of games: No-Namers-Quest, Maddawgs-Hawks, Maddawgs-Quest, No-Namers- Cutters!! This is the real separation Saturday. For every team there are some questions. Can the No-Namers continue their China-like rise? Are Quest elite or pretenders? Can the Maddawgs go without their full arsenal? Can the Cutters win without all their usual suspects? Has the Hawks’ signal caller shaken the week 5 misstep?
S-dot sees many parallels between the No-Namers and
On a side note, one battle S.O will watch is Rum vs. Gene, Gene vs Rum. Can you say must see TV! The preeminent O/D- linemen of our era goin head-to-head! Pass me a ventilator! This is like Ali vs. Frazier, Magic vs. Bird, Brady vs. Manning, UNC vs. Duke, Michigan vs. O-State, Oklahoma vs. Texas, UCLA vs. USC, North vs. South, Tupac vs. BIG, Ken vs. Ryu, Skeletor vs. He-Man, Optimus Prime vs. Megatron; instant classic.
S.O is still sleepin on Quest[?], specifically the switchin QBs. What’s the deal with that? There is a reason the NFL has backup QBs. I will give a college example, Steve Spurrier had QBs switch on every play at UF a few years back, and that team wasn’t good that season. One man has to be the man.
Personally, S.O would have switched at half against the Cutters, and S-dot expects Quest[?] to say but we drove deep into the red zone and almost scored. S-dot says almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. If the Quest[?] GM is more worried about feelings than wins, then the focus is off. The Stankoniforous One already said that politics wins elections not football games.
For the Maddawgs, aka Doggystyle, they were doggystyle’d last week by the No-Namers, but they did have a big contributor go down due to injury. Pilot Ron, or Shake n Bake whichever you go by, can you put the offense on your shoulders and carry them to some wins this week? Maddawgs personnel keep sayin you are the most underrated QB in Novaffl. This week is your chance to prove it’s not the system it’s the QB. Go big or go home.
For the Cutters, many of their key personnel are AWOL…actually absent, away, not here, whatever. Can the Cut up Crew continue their winning ways?
For the Hawks and the Hawks-Cutters aftermath, S.O turns to the NBA. The Blazers-Lakers a few years back. The winner took off and the loser fell into a malaise that they never recovered from. Will history repeat itself in Novaffl? Stay tuned.
The matchups for these games: Jason vs. the Cut up Crew D, Rum vs Gene (5 stars!), the Maddawgs O vs. the Hawks D, the Hawks O vs the Maddawgs D, the Maddawgs TE vs. the Quest[?] D, Alge vs. the No-Namers D, Alge vs. the Maddawgs D, and Jason vs. the Quest[?] D.

Nice tie-in with China: No namers metaphor, seems like a familiar page. I love the creativity.
Any comparison to China would imply that they are a major player on the NovaFFl world stage, which they clearly are not (only ONE win against the top SIX teams in the league). Instead they are more like a Portugal, a historic world player that has been since relegated to beating up on the Uraguay's of the world. When they throw their muskets up against the howitzers of the NovaFFL elite it quickly turns into a blood bath...
Mr. anon, With 2 wins this week, I would dub them China, pimpin.
So S.O. plays for the No-Namers; subtle, but now your column makes a lot more sense. I will humor you and talk Namers for a sec. Two big wins this weeked mean they could easily extend this 4 game win streak to 7. Win 7 straight and maybe you're starting to resemble a pre-nuclear China; lots of influence but still no ability to lower the boomstick when required.
Let me answer like this, if that's what you think then you're right.
To come from 0-5 to .500 is quite a feat.
To continue the whole country theme, winning streaks don't matter until the playoffs in any case. I know I'm talkin to either a cutter or a hawk now. The only problem is if neither team wins it all, people will mention them like this, "they won 7 straight but have no rings!"
S.O. I am in violent agreement with you, Championships are what everyone's gunning for. Unfortunately for the No-Namers it just isn't in the cards, I just checked with voodoo and his crystal ball. I never collected any money from my team cus I didn't want anyone bitching when we blow it all at some stripclub in Baltimore when we win. I'll be sure to tell Amber to thank you for the 20 I stash in her G-String compliments of the No-Namers...shit, I'll even buy you a lap dance if you wanna roll...
...as far as the cutters and hawk go, I'm not on one of those teams.
I appreciate the respect, despite both Gene and Ty being better on both sides of the ball.
