Halves & Halve Nots

Week 6: July 29, 2021

With all teams now having played at least half of their season slate, it’s a good time to drink in the current standings. Yellow’s overflowing glass has them very optimistic for a deep playoff run, while Teal’s Week One drop has evaporated, leaving them parched pessimists.

Week 5: July 20, 2021

Captain Ty Pereira and his ‘PersNICKety Murder Hornets’ have taken all of the sting out of the Navy and Black ‘superteam’ narrative that dominated the headlines over the first three weeks of play. If their Week Four 4-0 blanking of Black was a statement win, then their 7-1 Week Five trouncing of Red was the exclamation point.

Meanwhile, another tie has formed, as Captain Goins’ Green heads into the holiday and their bye week with the same record as the these featured front runners…

Week 2: June 22, 2021

Captain Malki’s Black (2-0-0, 7 GF, 0 GA) and Captain Salt’s Navy (2-0-0, 10 GF, 2 GA) have been in cruise bruise control through two weeks of play. Both teams feature controversial player ‘packages’, that thus far appear to be parity poison. What happens when the two potent concoctions mix…find out this Sunday at 8:00pm!
