The Illegal Alien Babies successfully hopped the border and pulled off the victory over a raucous Safety Blitz crowd at The Devil's Den over the weekend. Coach Darrell Campbell raced to an early lead behind Larry Fitzgerald and Steve Smith, then utilized his kicking game to withstand a furious late rally. QB Philip Rivers put up solid numbers yet again, posting 22 points despite turning it over 3 times. Safety Blitz was led by 18 points from Eli Manning, but it was the quarterback's costly interception on the first drive of the game that ultimately cost Coach Phillip Campbell's squad a chance to pull even. In a cruel twist of bad luck for Safety Blitz, three players were each within one yard of earning an additional point, which would have resulted in a winning effort.
The Pessimists (118) @ Riley's Vikings (84)
The Pessimists continued their torrid offensive pace in the opening weeks of the season and in the process improved their league record winning streak to a league record six games dating back to last season. The Pessimists were led by newly acquired QB Matthew Stafford, who torched the maligned Chiefs' defense for 4 touchdowns and total points. Coach BJ Hudson watched triumphantly as seven of his nine starters scored in double digits. Riley's Vikings struggled to put points on the board for the second straight week, prompting Coach Adam Warren to throw his visor repeatedly on the sideline. The upstart Detroit Lions' defense led the Vikings with a 21 point effort, but it wasn't nearly enough as 7 of the 9 starters scored in single digits.
Tebow's Youth Group (79) @ Campbell's Cougars (95)
Tebow's Youth Group was hit with the injury bug on Sunday in falling on the road to Campbell's Cougars. Youth Group RB Jamaal Charles will miss the remainder of the season after tearing his ACL early in the 1st quarter of his game against the Lions. The blow is a tough one for Coach Daniel Campbell to swallow, as his squad is already thin at the running back position. Tom Brady continued to impress, scoring 34 points in the losing effort. Campbell's Cougars were led by a 29 point explosion from wide receiver Vincent Jackson, who is attempting to establish himself as a dominant receiver after a dismal 2010 season. Coach Matthew Campbell was also pleased with the play of newcomer Mike Sims-Walker, who put up 92 yards receiving in his Cougars' debut.
Carmichael's Crusaders (108) @ Young Gun Football (132)
Carmichael's Crusaders made an impressive showing at Hell's Half Acre over the weekend, but it wasn't enough as Young Gun Football exploded for a 24 point victory. The Crusaders received a huge performance from running backs Adrian Peterson and Willis McGahee, who combined to score 42 points in the losing effort. Coach Ethan Hudson was pleased with the play of Calvin Johnson, who scored 14 points after being acquired in a trade less than 2 hours prior to kickoff. Young Gun Football scored 6 total touchdowns in the offensive onslaught, led by two each from Aaron Rodgers and Tony Gonzalez. Coach Jason Young was concerned after the game, however, as star receiver DeSean Jackson is reportedly suffering from a sore buttocks.
Team Maddux (102) @ We Got Big TDs (133)
Team Maddux put up a valiant fight before faltering late in a road contest against We Got Big TDs. Team Maddux was led by a 25 point effort from Tony Romo, collapsed lung and all. Coach Zach Maddux was visually upset after the game and reportedly got into a shoving match with Reggie Bush, Plaxico Burress, and Jermaine Gresham in the team's locker room. We Got Big TDs pulled away late in the game behind Miles Austin and Jason Witten, who combined to score 42 points. All was not roses, however, as Austin pulled a hamstring and will reportedly miss 2-3 weeks. Coach Tara Campbell will spend the week focusing on personnel decisions, as she stated that improving her depth is a top priority this week.
Maddawg's Tight End (115) @ Play Action Pass (103)
Maddawg's Tight End earned their first league victory in Monterey over Play Action Pass behind a strong showing from LeSean McCoy. Maddawg's Tight End was led by the previously mentioned McCoy's 23 points, who helped to offset a 1 point performance from Marshawn Lynch. Coach Miranda Maddux received a huge day from her 3-headed monster at WR, as Kenny Britt, Andre Johnson, and Mike Wallace combined for 52 points. Play Action Pass by another strong performance from Drew Brees, who put up 28 points in a rout over the Bears. Coach David Looper was disappointed in the play of Felix Jones, telling reporters after the game that the Flex position will be open for competition this week.
