NOVI, MICHIGAN – For the fifth straight week we saw no dong at “LEG”. Even more disappointing is despite 3 blowouts, there wasn’t even a threat of dong exposure. One of these days 21-0 will happen, and we’ll see a bun run. It’s like a 16 seed beating a 1 seed…only remotely possible, but if/when it happens it will be glorious (unless it’s me).
The game of the night featured JG & Joe vs. Mike & Nick. It was a battle of wills, with each team exchanging hay makers round after round. It was a long, hard fought battle with each team scratching and clawing point by point. Is everyone tired of the cliches yet? Really though, it was a great game with each round netting only 1 or 2 points and both teams exchanging leads throughout. Ultimately, JG & Joe shocked the world in a 21-18 win.
Week 5 saw another shift in the power rankings with JG overtaking Nick for first place after going 5-2 compared to Nick’s 2-2 record. Nick held the advantage in points per game and scoring differential over JG, but the 21-18 win by JG & Joe swung the standings in Jeff’s favor.
I had the highest week 5 points per game and scoring differential, which carried me to a respectable 4-2 record. I still sit in 5th place overall, just behind the third place tie between Josh and Brad.
Tony sat home this week and still climbed the power rankings because of Mike’s 2-4 record in week 5. Way to rise to the occasion, Tony.
Speaking of Mike, he had the back-handed t@int tickler approach working for him all night. He also played cornhole pretty well, despite a 2-4 record. Mike was victim of a few very close losses, 21-17 and 21-18, respectively. Every inch matters, Michael. Hang in there.
Lastly, Joey V. went 1-4 this week and the only thing keeping him out of the power rankings basement is the padding provided by the 0-7 record of Bushie/Kim, also known as “Bushie Kim”.
