Buzz Kill

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. Yellow now sit alone atop the standings at 4-1-0, and the buzz is growing for this team as we enter the second half…

Pick & Lose

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!

Great Shakes

Week 1: June 14, 2021

The much anticipated/feared Salt brothers debut did not disappoint…unless you happen to be Yellow’s goalie, Nick Adkins. The dynamic duo combined for four and four to lead Navy to the only dominant Week One win. Add a dash of Deborah Finucane to the mix, and Navy is SO-DEUMN good (see what I did there).
