Shakedown League Update

by shake n bake on Dec 9, 2008 12:24 PM EST

The 5 seed was taken by the Memphis Red Dogs and slash196's team continued it's too late hot streak. More importantly we have our results for the best team name poll.

The Inflamed Bursa Sacs, Shake (28) Honestly I'm surprised. I didn't even vote for me.
Tom Brady's Bastard Children, furrycolt (24) Nearly got my vote
Moorehead Soft Hands Corp, torontocoltsfan (14) A bit of a consolation prize for the last ranked team in the league.
Philadelphia Ninja Hands, Jakethesnake (6) I liked it, but it wasn't even my favorite Marvin Harrison shooting incident reference.
48 Layers of Kevlar, dothemathis98 (5)I really like subtle references. Got my vote.
Tie, Marlin Bob Antonie Kelvin - Heavy Hitters, slash196 (4) lost points with me just for the awkwardness of writing it in the updates. Hart Attack, Aerostar193 (4) didn't have much of a chance with both the Pro-Mike Hart vote split and Hart blowing out his knee just as he got his shot to shine.
XXXXXXXXX
Gotta Have Hart, Markfive05 (3)
Pat Beach 4 President, Matic (2) This one crossed from subtle into obscure. A tight end that left the Colts 17 year ago and never topped 400 yards in a season?
Tie Vanderjerks, beckmania, Memphis Red Dogs, ttmemphis (1) I'll spare both owners the embarrassment and not look up whether it was them that voted for themselves.
XXXXXXXX
Fighting For Last, jbd (0) Maybe this is what he was talking about. Creepy.

Here's your playoff brackets

Championship

Consolation

Good luck to all, but less to jbd's derelict FIghting for Last.

I'm disappointed in you shake

Any Tecmo Super Bowl fan knows that Pat Beach is the TE for the Colts in that game. I probably would have gone with Dean Biasucci or Ivy Joe Hunter, but that’s just me.

And the real LT is completely unstoppable in that game. It’s just not fair when he’s on the field. Cocaine’s a hell of a drug.

Tecmo Bowl was kind of released a bit before I was born

Tecmo Superbowl when I was 2. Sorry I’m too young to share your memories.

You've got Christmas Break Homework then

Get yourself an NES emulator, I’ll send you Tecmo Super Bowl, and play the best football video game ever created.

Start with the Giants or Bills, as they are superior. After that, embrace the speed of the Raiders (Bo Jackson) and the Lions (Barry Sanders).

The game is awesome, and age is no excuse for not playing it.

Thanks grex. Yes, I was referncing Tecmo Bowl and my memories from childhood watching Pat score one of his few touchdowns with his blonde hair flowing out of his helmet. As a kid, I thought his named fit him perfectly. He looked like he belongd on a beach. Weird…I know.

I as 7 when Tecmo Bowl was released and love me some NES!
