As far as Philly is concerned, these rankings are suspect and won't be displayed in our local newspapers until we are correctly placed ahead of South Beach. No way can we beat them 32-0, and be below them with even if we have one less win. Regardless of their winning streak, all their wins were against teams ranked much lower. 32-0, did I say that already lol.



I threw that game. The mob was going to kill me if I didn't. That game shouldn't be considered.

Well grab some chocolate milk, your going to be needed it when I hit you so hard you'll be riding the bench the rest of the game

In all seriousness, this is going to be one of the best games all year, much respect to Anchorage and Reno for remaining undefeated, you guys have really earned it this year.

Lol I don't know, when it comes to depth you guys definitely have us, but when it comes to starters we have an edge. Should be great whichever way it goes.

NC vs Akron should be a good one.

Yeah, I'll be looking for how that turns out as well.

Good luck to the undefeated teams that are facing eachother, this week seems like the week where a lot is going to be proven.

I just noticed we've already matched our win total from last year including the scrimmage games.

We've been training all week to prepare our Offense to not listen to Dr. Phil McGraw. First mention of the Dr. Phil house or if they hear you scream "It's time to get real!" and our guys have authorization to drop kick you even if they get tossed out of the game. We know your hypnotic rhetoric and we won't fall for it!

Eastern Conference Week 5

1) Akron Assassins: 5-0
Last Game: 37-17 win over Tampa

Pros: It’s good to see Akron finally face a team that had a chance against them. They gave up a big 60 yard TD pass, but other than that really shut Tampa down. They allowed only 33 rushing yards on 19 carries and had 6 hurries and 3 sacks. QB DaMan DaSchiz III had another big game throwing for 327 yards and 4 TDs. Their D-Line combined for 5 of the hurries and all 3 sacks.

Cons: HB Mother Hubbard had a pretty bad game. He was given the ball 30 times and only managed to pick up 69.5 yards. He was also tackles for loss 4 times and fumbled once, though the offense did recover. Not much else went wrong for the Assassins and whatever questions people had about them and their early season schedule have been answered

Next Game: at North Carolina Lighthouses

2) Alpine Golfers: 5-0
Last Game: 48-3 win over Orlando

Pros: Like Akron they just keep on winning. They’ve beaten better opponents so far this season, but really haven’t been tested since week 2. This is still basically a 1a) and 1b) situation. As for this game the 534-157 yard difference tells the story, it was just a completely dominating performance by Alpine all around. To mention all the guys who had a great game would take up too much space.

Cons: Alpine is probably unhappy that they allowed a FG and had to punt 3 times.

Next Game: vs Denver Stallions

3) Chicago Bruins: 4-1
Last Game: 39-3 win over New Orleans

Pros: Since their week 1 loss to Alpine the Bruins have gone off on every team they faced, including 3 tough opponents in the Comets, Speed, and Eagles. In their 4 wins they’ve outscore the opponents by a combined 134-3….134-4. Most teams won’t do that during any four game stretch, and the Bruins did it while playing 3 of the East’s top 10. Fred O’Bannion is the leagues top kicker, and he proved it again in this win, going 6/6 including 3/3 of FGs over 50 yards.

Cons: QB Duke Hill threw a couple INTs, but it didn’t really matter. The Bruins schedule doesn’t get any easier with games against Tampa and Memphis coming up, we’ll see if they can keep rolling

Next Game: vs Tampa Vipers

4) Memphis Ghetto Dawgs: 4-1
Last Game: 34-0 win over Richmond

Pros: Another good team takes down Richmond with ease, shutting them out in the process. CB Lewis Jones led the way for the defense with 4 Tackles, 1 Forced Fumble, 7 Pass Deflections, and 2 INTs, including one he returned for a TD. G Fatso Elliot helped protect his QB with 13 pancakes.

Cons: HB John Green was so-so and the number 2 HB Hector Gonzego didn’t do much better. Things like that just don’t matter as much when your defense shuts the opponent down completely

Next Game: at New Orleans Eagles

5) North Carolina Lighthouses: 5-0
Last Game: 30-21 win over Klamath Falls

Pros: It took a HUGE second half but North Carolina kept its undefeated season alive with the win over the Grizzlies. QB Dan Marino played well despite not having big numbers, and HB Trucking OverYou had big numbers, but only because he got the ball 36 times. CB Joe Rippa had another good game with 10 tackles and 2 pass deflections

Cons: The combined record of the 5 teams North Carolina beat is 5-20. In the last two they have been tested. This week vs Akron could show everyone, including myself that this team should be a top 2 team if not number 1. It could also show that 5-0 was nice, but obvious considering who they were playing, and be the start of a serious downfall. I’m rooting for the underdog in this one but if I had money it’d be on Akron.

Next Game: vs Akron Assassins

6) New Orleans Eagles: 3-2
Last Game: 3-39 loss to Chicago

Pros: Ouch! This team is really on a downslide after starting 3-0. The problem is their offense just can’t get going, and didn’t even really get going in the games they won. They beat Schenectady on FGs, Elk Rapids with 20, and Richmond with 23. Dillious Oreleus threw 5 INTs this game, and you will rarely see a team win with numbers like that from its starting QB. Back to the drawing board for the Eagles

Cons: The whole Pros section was basically one big con. Other than a couple INTs, nothing good came from this game

Next Game: vs Memphis Ghetto Dawgs

7) Richmond Speed: 2-3
Last Game: 0-34 loss to Memphis

Pros: Back to back to back losses for the Speed, another team who is on their way down. The only consolation is they lost all 3 to teams currently ranked ahead of them, so it’s not like they are losing to bad teams.

Cons: They haven’t scored a point in 2 games, and are going to need to find a rushing game if they want to bounce back. They get to face Philadelphia next week so we’ll get to see how good (or bad) this team really is

Next Game: vs Philadelphia Brokebacks

8) Tampa Vipers: 2-3
Last Game: 17-37 loss to Akron

Pros: Tampa shouldn’t be ashamed to lose to Akron, it’s going to happen to many more teams this season. They were still able to put up 17 points, and WR Scotty Thunder had a big game.

Cons: If this team wants to be looked upon as a top 3 team, its going to have to beat one of the top 3 and I just don’t know if they have the firepower unless they have a bunch of boosting left to do. It doesn’t get any easier this week against the Bruins, especially considering the tear that Chicago has been on as of late

Next Game: at Chicago Bruins

9Schenectady Comets: 2-3
Last Game: 22-0 win over Forgotten

Pros: A 2 game win streak for the Comets puts them back into the chase for a playoff spot, at least at this early point of the season. K Joe Czerniak who made 5 FGs all last season was a cool 5/5 in this game, and a shoutout goes to the backup QB who threw a TD pass to the 5th string WR, in what was the Comets only TD of the game. The defense held the One’s to fewer yards than all 3 undefeated teams did.

Cons: You HAVE to score more than 22 points when you face the Ones. Granted, they were good enough to get into FG position 5 times, but the offense really hasn’t gotten going all season. Are the Comets a top 9 team at the moment? Yes. Are they a top 8 team? Probably not.

Next Game: vs Orlando Mambas

10) South Beach Tokers: 3-2
Last Game: 15-6 win over Denver

Pros: 3 wins in a row for South Beach and they have a good shot to make it four against the Grizzlies next week. This game was strictly FGs, so Andy Baer for going 5/5, and making all of those FGs from over 30 yards.

Cons: We all know they’re beating up on the weakest teams in the league. They are however winning, which is more than some can say. Their running game isn’t great and their QB was hurried 8 times this game. Though Klamath Falls won’t be an easy game, after the Grizzlies comes the reality check with games vs NC/Tampa/Alpine/Schenectady. If they can pull of 2 of those they will actually have a shot at the playoffs.

Next Game: vs Klamath Falls Grizzlies

11) Klamath Falls Grizzlies: 2-3
Last Game: 21-30 loss to North Carolina

Pros: It was tough to drop the Grizzlies down 2 spots after they played NC as tough as they did, and they probably could have still been ranked 9th. I bet very few people thought that they could come out of week 6 at 3-3, but they are in a good position to do so. LB Jimbo Davis had a big game on defense with 10 tackles, 2 for loss, and a forced fumble

Cons: They split carries between their backs evenly, and while Michael Quick had an OK game, Austin Carr was just not all there, averaging only 1.4 yards per carry, while getting stopped for a loss 5 times, and fumbling once. Quick did fumble 3 times, but none were lost.

Next Game: at South Beach Tokers

12) Philadelphia Brokebacks: 2-3
Last Game: 26-0 win over Elk Rapids

Pros: They let HB Pete Moore do the work for them this game, as he rushed for over 100 yards and a TD. Their punt returner Cut Diamond also had a nice return for a TD in the middle of the 3rd quarter that really sealed the game for them. DE Jonah Shackleford is being mentioned again here. This time with 4 tackles, 1 sack, 2 hurries and a forced fumble

Cons: Very little bad things to say about the Brokebacks after this game. Pete Moore did fumble twice but both were recovered by the offense. The kicker missed an XP as well as a FG, but that happens to all kickers at this point in their development.

Next Game: at Richmond Speed

13) Denver Stallions: 1-4
Last Game: 6-15 loss to South Beach

Pros: It’s not that this team has played bad this season, in starting off 1-4, they just haven’t gotten any breaks. Other than the Akron and Tampa games, they have played well. Just not well enough to win. Sadly that’s not going to change against Alpine this week. K B & M continued the kickers playing well trend, nailing two pretty long FGs in the loss.

Cons: The Stallions have lost two games they could have won, and a for this team it’s something they can’t afford. They are better than they were last year. HBs Dual Threat and Speedy Greatness really need to start living up to their names

Next Game: at Alpine Golfers

14) Orlando Mambas: 0-5
Last Game: 3-48 loss to Alpine

Pros: It will be interesting to see what team is better out of the currently winless teams. Orlando’s had a tough schedule so far, only having 1 team with a losing record. In this game nothing really got going.

Cons: Their starting HBs had 0.4 and 0.7 YPC....enough said

Next Game: at Schenectady Comets

15) Elk Rapids Elks: 0-5
Last Game: 0-26 loss to Philadelphia

Pros: WRs KB Killer and Ethan Holsinger both had good games in the losing effort. CB Kick Push Coast had 13 tackles and 3 pass deflections to lead the defense

Cons: Considering they played against Richmond and New Orleans so well, you have to wonder whats gone wrong. Maybe it goes to show you that Richmond and New Orleans weren’t as good as we all thought, considering the last 2-3 weeks. In fairness to the Elks, although they have yet to play Alpine, Akron, or NC, they’ve had one of the toughest schedules so far

Next Game: vs Forgotten Ones

16) Forgotten Ones: 1-5
Last Game: 0-22 loss to Schenectady Comets

Pros: The good news it they have a new owner, who seems committed to trying to turn this team around

Cons: The bad news is its probably not going to happen this season

Next Game: at Elk Rapids Elks

Week 5 games to Watch

#1 Akron Assassins at #5 North Carolina Lighthouses

It may not have the appeal of the rapidly approaching Akron/Alpine matchup but this should be a good one. North Carolina looking to prove to the doubters that they have what it takes to be a championship contender. Akron looking to show NC that, they’re just another stepping stone. As I said before, I’ll be rooting for NC but betting on Akron.

#8 Tampa Vipers at #3 Chicago Bruins

A tough draw for Tampa, coming off their loss to Akron. They look to be the ones to stop the Bruins, who have become a major force in this conference. I think this will be an interesting matchup, and closer than some might expect

#4 Memphis Ghetto Dawgs at #6 New Orleans Eagles

New Orleans really needs to stop their losing streak, but like Tampa, they picked a bad team to attempt that against. Memphis just scores points, and it wouldn’t surprise me if they scored more than Chicago did against New Orleans last week. The question is, can the Eagles get some offense and make this a shootout?

Should be an interesting one against the Bruins this week. We match up better against them than we did with Akron, but their lineup is still pretty stacked.

Western Conference Week 5 Rankings


1) Anchorage Seawolves: 5-0
Last Game: 23-10 win over Rocky Mountain

Pros: Anchorage’s defense was able to shut down the Rampage’s very good offense. DT Mack Trucker had a big game with 9 tackles and 2 hurries. Though Rocky Mountain was the weakest of the remaining undefeated teams, this was a very big win for the Seawolves as they now have to face San Diego, than Reno. CB Footz Baller added 2 INTs to go along with a tackle and a pass deflection. He only had 1 INT return yard though.

Cons: The offense was held to only 206 yards. HB Jon Jones fumbled 5 times, though only 1 was lost. They can pretend all they want that they haven’t ‘opened up’ the offense but teams right now are slowing them down. They are going to need to find a way to turn it up a notch for these next two games

Next Game: vs San Diego Marauders

2) Reno 911: 5-0
Last Game: 34-6 win over Corvallis

Pros: Rip VanWinkle had another pretty good game and the defense held Corvallis to only 170 yards of offense. HB Wes Mailman was their better HB on the day running wise with 56 yards on 13 carries. Eddie Adams didn’t gain much ground but was able to get 3 TDs. TE TouchDown Maker had 76 yards receiving and a TD.

Cons: Reno’s o-line allowed VanWinkle to be hurried twice in this game. Not terrible, but probably the worst thing to come out of this game for them.

Next Game: at Oakyville Nungas

3) San Diego Marauders: 5-0
Last Game: 44-21 win over Oakyville

Pros: San Diego was able to completely shut down Oakyville’s running game allowing 18 yards on 20 carries. Bobby Miley and Bo Knowes both had good games, combining for over 120 yards and 3 TDs. K Jared Fritz nailed 3 FGs and 5 XPs. On Defense Tyler Hulegaard had 4 tackles, 5 pass deflections and an INT.

Cons: They gave up 3 passing TDs, though 2 were meaningless in the 2nd half of the 4th quarter when the game was already sealed. San Diego has gotta be looking forward to this weeks game against Anchorage

Next Game: at Anchorage Seawolves

4) Omaha Dogs: 4-1
Last Game: 22-3 win over Kalamazoo

Pros: Omaha has been very consistent the last four weeks, scoring between 20-3 and giving up 3 or less. They just show up and get the job done. This week against Kalamazoo was no different. A big rushing day for Cannon Ball as he just failed to crack the 100 yard mark, but did average over 5 yards a carry. One of the weirdest stats I’ve found so far SS Demario Stix had 2 pancakes in this game. CB Dee Dee Dee had 9 tackles, 1 Pass Deflection and an INT.

Cons: Backup QB Bryan Bachelder threw the ball 12 times, and was intercepted twice. He was also sacked once. Against better teams, he shouldn’t see as much playing time, unless he plays better.

Next Game: at Dakota Ruffians

5) Chattanooga Quarantine: 4-1
Last Game: 27-17 win over Dakota

Pros: Dakota gave them a scare, coming out fast in the 1st quarter, but after that it was all Chattanooga. TE Josh Roach had 9 catches for 131 yards and 3 TDs. G Randall Dixon had a big 19 pancakes. CB Shutdown Wilson was second on the team with 9 tackles and first with 5 pass deflections

Cons: This was a really disappointing performance by the Quarantine if you look at the stat lines. Their top HB only averaged 2.4 yards per carry. QB Kenny Palmer did throw for 3 TDs, but he also had 2 INTs. They do get to figure things out this week against Ambridge though.

Next Game: at Ambridge Brigade

6) Rocky Mountain Rampage: 4-1
Last Game: 10-23 loss to Anchorage

Pros: Losing your 1st game of the season to Anchorage is nothing to cry over, and they were able to hold Anchorage to only 23 points, and force 5 fumbles. Their offense just couldn’t get going at all though, which was their downfall in this game

Cons: QB Joe Starr threw 4 INTs and their starting HB had 2.3 yards per carry. Credit the Seawolves defense for that. We’re going to get to see just how good the Rampage really is, as they have games against Houston, San Diego, and Reno in the next 3 weeks

Next Game: vs Houston Apollos

7) Albuquerque Mustangs: 3-2
Last Game: 39-6 win over Houston

Pros: A very good win for the Mustangs as they now have blown out their opponents in back to back games. Houston rushed 30 times. They gained -16 yards on the ground. The Mustangs d-line was the best it has been all season. The D-Line itself combined for 4 sacks, 13 hurries, and 8 tackles for loss. Just a dominating performance

Cons: About the only bad thing to come from this game was HB Buster Pimps just couldn’t get going. Other than that, they gave up the opening FG and than hit the accelerator and never looked back

Next Game: at Hyborian Divine Messengers

8) Hyborian Divine Messengers: 3-2
Last Game: 14-7 win over San Francisco

Pros: A very low scoring game. Both teams gained a decent amount of yards but a few turnovers and some sloppy play kept them out of the end zone for most of the game. HB Matthew Shanahan continued his streakiness, this time having a good game. WR Takarin Mcslakin had over 100 yards receiving in the win. OT M Shanahan had a nice 17 pancakes. Leading the defense was CB Mikey Brownn. He had 9 tackles, 4 pass deflections and 1 INT

Cons: QB Steven Duffy only had 11 incomplete passes, but 2 of them were INTs. Hyborian needs to find a way to play consistently as a team, if they want to be considered among the elite.

Next Game: vs Albuquerque Mustangs

Games to watch in Week 5

#3 San Diego Marauders at #1 Anchorage Seawolves

The first of the big 3 games between SD/Anchorage/Reno is tonight as San Diego travels to Anchorage. These two teams haven’t played since week 1 of last season when San Diego won 15-10, kicking 5 FGs in the process. A lot has changed since then and it will be interesting to see the outcome of this one. Can San Diego keep the ball away from the man man who is 2nd in INT return yards! on the season, Footz Baller? Can Anchorage’s offense get going and put up the points needed to win? If San Diego wins 12-7 does the win count, even if they kicked 4 FGs? We’ll find out tonight.

The other big game this week is Albuquerque at Hyborian, but it is overshadowed by the battle of those two top teams.

Also thought I should mention. Buffalo Rangers on a 2 game winning streak in A7 to get to 4-2. The Naked-Mole Rats a perfect 6-0
