Bentleague IV Blog 10/12/2018 – Chicken King visits NOLA

You know it’s a good week when Tribal Tony gets first B IV victory and he also gets to meet the Secretary of Agriculture at work.  In town to watch his Georgia Bulldogs face LSU, the Stallion even got to shake the Georgia Chicken King Sonny Perdue’s hand.  Good week for sure. 

B IV Standings:
T -1 CMC 12W 8L
T-1 Mother Tuckers 12W 8L
3 Double  Shots 10W 10L
4  Flying Burritos 6W 14L



Now onto the tennis recap….
6pm Match
Line 1 - Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin' duo of Steve Perry take down Skip and Rocky
The old switch-a-roo.  Rude welcome to B IV for Skip.  Mandeville Real estate mongul can thank Andrew for that one.  Skip and the travel weary one go down hard to Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin' duo.  More time to drink say the Proud Peacock.  Pac ladies and Bentley disappointed though as the box jumping heart throb didn’t even need a shirt change after first set.  

Line 2 - Fair and Ferrer take down Big John Allen and Mouth of the South Brad
Old habits are hard to break.  Rematch of Kehoe final still haunting Hump and Allen.  From the side it looked like Big John had all the shots working.  Assume back got heavy in the end carry his error prone partner and the Marks Squared pulled it out in 3.  10-2 tie breaker score proved athletes usually rise up over junior tennis should’ve could’ve would’ve bins.

Line 3 – Tribal Tony and Captain Double Shot take down Kobrock and Gordo
As Cayman said afterwards….time to break bread!  Going back to his roots while sporting his favorite Italian Hat the tattooed one finally gets in the Win column.   Combo of steady ground strokes from the Italian and some solid although infrequent put away volleys secured the W for Double Shots against the heavy hitting Gordo and spin doctor giving team Burrito another heart wrenching third set loss.

Line 4 – Vic and Jay B go down to Butcher and Groeneveld
Double shot pit bull flustering league with contagious competitive fire.  Look out if Vic the Prick ever gets paired with the Strutting Peacock because we’ll have to hide the women and children.  WWF don’t have shit on the foursome that played on court 5.  Riddle me this Batman…. “Are we playing by all of the rules are just a few of the rules”?  Welcome to B IV Groeneveld.  Here is how witnesses described the altercation.  Vic “The Prick” throws haymaker calling out RG for foot fault.  Rumor mill said RG laid claims to a similar foot fault claim prior to the aforementioned one.  Unsubstantiated claims then say RG kept his cool but Butcher went all George “the Animal” Steel on the Prickly one.  Poor Jay (or Jack) had to assume the Jerry Unser role and move to Switzerland.  This blogger is on board Vic.  Double Shots needs relishing this fire with second 3 line victory.  Keep the Dylan Thomas theme going Prickster….Double Shots will not go quietly into the good night.    
Doubles Shots take 3 (and are only two back from #1).  Start looking in the rear view mirror boys.  Sooner or later we are going to see and Olinde and a Mount!

7:30pm Match

Line 1 – B III and Robby E take down Mesa and Burt
Pink Koozy’s go to the Cuban and Latin combo.  From the cheap seats it was not even close.  Appeared as though the will to fight subsided quickly and from the Latino in this one and his interest quickly to the Friday night swipe right or left decisions on the three star honeys in his Tinder queue.  Thursday tennis conflicting with Friday Night Date night may be an issue moving forward.  Robby the Cock winning getting old was a common theme from attendees’ courtside.  Piece of humble pie wouldn’t do this cat wrong another common theme.    
Line 2 – Ronny and the Donald lose to Jeff and Super Ray
All he does is Lose (with Donald) a different mantra for Goof.  Jeff is still undefeated and Ray is still super after this nail biter.  Ill time errors at the end of set two doomed the Mother Tucker twosome.  You could sense they would not be able to recover.  Tie breaker anti-climactic as Mesa’s top heavy team prevails.  Stallion predicts the soft-handed Thompson and Super Ray’s time in the loss column is eminent. 

Line 3 – Kevin and Hunt take down Jason and Blake
No councilman Slumber party equals no victory for the Blakester.  Nothing against the Jay Miller Band but just as Dan Quale was no Jack Kennedy…JMiller is no John Keller.  Welcome to mediocrity Blake.  Kevin quietly taking care of business and the loan hoarding banker racking up “W”s.  EffUHunt and the lawyer look bored and take it in straights.

Line 4 – Sid and Sly Schneider go down to Come Back Shane and Professor George
Tighter than I expected.  Battle of the forehands proved entertaining.  In the end, best team on paper prevails but not without a valiant fight from the stylish Schneider.  Come back Shane and Professor George appear to be a marriage made in heaven.  George leaving up to top billing of geritol three but how can we compare them if Bruce and Doubt never see the court.   Tight fitting shirts be damned as Shane continues solid play and plays the yin to George’s yang for another hard fought victory!

Effing Mother Tuckers Take 3

Tie for first between CMC and Mother Tuckers
With Double Shots two back.
Flying Burritos living up to preseason predictions as Nice Guy McQuaid goes back to the drawing board.

B IV is getting interesting….

Bentleague X: The Sequel Draft Recap

  Bentleague X: The Sequel Draft Recap   Not for the faint of heart…back by popular demand…here is the St. Bernard Swami’s recap of the Bentleague X Draft.   First things first, this is an unbiased take on the captain’s picks and how the teams fared out on draft night.   As the ombudsman of Bentleague you can count on an unbiased evaluation of each team from top to bottom.   Congrats to the Commish for finally getting rid of the cockamamie scoring system that favored top picks more than late round selections.   This is an inclusive league for all PAC members, and a win by Rockin Toupsie or Josh (Mr. Irrelevant) should be just as much as a win by Russ “Don’t call me Russell” Anderson.   Wait…did Josh win any Bentleague matches last year?   I digress…on to the team draft grades. Drafting in the number one position was Hairy Hal Neitzschman aka. Spin Doctors II.   No surprise here with Russ going first overall.   Clear #1 by everyon...

Bentleague Blog/Vlog 10/22/2025 - Round 2 Match 2 and 3

  I'll BE BACK! Going with the VLOG to recap match 2 and 3 of Round 2. https://youtu.be/rLpJlQK81UM? feature=shared --- Here are a couple of parting shots as I go to the IR: Sensei Kobrock will live in Bentleague infamy for having a person who was in Germany in the line up. Grant is still winless!  How is this even possible with those fundamentals. Rudy is working hard to fulfill third round expectations...finally gets in the Win column and it only took five matches! Old Knees Harvey should not complain about being at line 6.  Congrats on the W with Millsie. Nick is the only captain this year to not have a previous title under his belt and its showing.   Don't bet on the Ego on Saturday mornings! The youngin's are asserting themselve,s but a few of the old guard still know how to win.  Especially in TSTB's. Round 3 will reveal who had the best draft middle on down.  Time to get some more players involved. Being on the IR during Bentleague is more painf...
