Alright, I gotta get crackin so I can make it to the Phils day game. Let’s start at O’Neals, where we had the same top two for the 2nd straight week. Dork Sided knocked off the Cracked Eggheads, 105-91. The Dorks have supplanted The Young the Old and the Restless as the team to beat at O’Neals, with 5 wins in the last 7 weeks.

On to the Bards, where the Narcotyzing Dysfunktion dominated the last couple weeks. But this week looked like it might be different, with the Sofa Kingdom returning from a two week vacation. Not so much. The Kingdom entered the 4th quarter up one, but the Dysfunktional blew by them in crunchtime and came away with a 105-86 win.

The Jams won at the Vous for the 4th straight week, despite going into the final round down 12. But El Train and the Criminalistics, who had a big lead after round three, exhibited one of the most astonishing meltdowns in modern history, getting only one question right in the final round and going from up 12 to losing by 28. Trust Us We Know finished 2nd.

Sorry Guys, Hannah’s Off the Market (aka the River of Rocks) came from 2 back to slide past the Satan’s Minions, 99-93. It was the 7th different team to win at the Black Sheep in the last 8 weeks.

A very weird hursday night at the Good Dog, which had a brownout shortly before kickoff. A few brave souls decided to withstand the humidity and stay for the first ever JGT Unplugged. It was kind of fun. In the end, it was John, Paul, George and Ringo holding off Armenia…A Solar Powered Country (aka Steve O.), 85-80.

And a spectacular finish to the week, as the Hurtin Bombs caught fire, and headed into the last question with a perfect score. The question: “Which two Vice Presidents served less than 6 weeks in office?” They answered John Tyler and Rufus King. The correct answers? John Tyler and…Andrew Johnson. Rufus King served 45 days in office, three days more than 6 weeks. The Bombs missed a perfect score by three lousy days. This Burrito is Delicious finshed 2nd with 106 points, the Kingdom finished 3rd with 103, and the 2 time Defending Champs Bob Ross… finished 4th with 92.

And to finish it all off, here’s a little bit of info about Levis’ Hot Dogs.

This week, Willie lets you know who his ten favorite current athletes are and, as a special treat, has a message for dog owners!

Top 10 favorite athletes right now
Jeremy Shockey-How can you not love Shock-dog? This guy is everything a professional football player should be. Many people think that this guy is an idiot and any opinion he has on anything should be ignored. Those people obviously have no respect for an athlete who leaves it all on the field. I love Shockey because he keeps us entertained and he always lets you know how he is feeling. Shockey is the perfect combination of old school and new school, and you will not find a tougher player. He may get hurt a lot, but that does not stop him from delivering (that is, when Eli decides to throw him the ball). Last year when the Giants were tanking away their season Shockey broke his finger catching a ball in warm-ups. It was bleeding because the bone was poking through the skin. When asked if he wanted the trainers to tape it up, Shockey stated, “I don’t care if you have to cut it off, I’m playing.” How can you not love that?

Michael Vick-This should come as no surprise to those who read my last column. However, I hope it does not raise questions about the credibility of my opinion regarding the dog fighting case, because my opinion of him has little if anything to do with my feelings regarding that matter. I have absolutely loved Vick since the first time I saw him play for Virginia Tech. I have always loved running quarterbacks. I grew up watching Randall Cunningham and was a huge Tommie Frazier fan when he played for Nebraska. I said from the beginning that Vick has what it takes to revolutionize the game of football and redefine the quarterback position. That opinion has not wavered. Unfortunately, he keeps having coaches that try to make him into something that he is not and put him in offenses where he is uncomfortable. I think he is the best quarterback in the league right now. It is not his fault that his receivers drop all those passes. If the Falcons would just let him do his thing, he could be the champion of the world, but unfortunately the NFL hopes to bring him down before that can happen.
