Article: Beasts Odd Man Out as SGL Playoffs Begin



And then, there were 8. This past week saw what we see every year. A couple of teams floating around on the bubble that must win to get in. This year we had 2 spots remaining for 3 teams, and when the music stopped, the Beasts found themselves without a chair and back in the Round Risen for the second year in a row. The Snappin' Peas defiantly snapped the Beasts for the second time this season, 123.2 to 68.7. 

The Beasts-one of the original 6- is back in the Round Risen for the 4th time in franchise history- '14, '15, '19, '20. How did they get there? This was a team that started the first month 3-1. They then went on to lose 4 out of 5 games. When I look back at the Beasts season, 2 games stand out. In week 2, a loss to the Snappin' Peas 108.4- 107.88 was an absolute heartbreaker. Will Fuller (PED dude) goosed, and Dak Prescott(Pea) led a massive comeback against the Falcons, posting 39.8 in the process. The other game was last week's devasting loss 155.9-145.4 to the Hound Dogs. 58 points from the Bucs stack wasn't enough to overcome the finally healthy Hounds.                                                                                                                 The Beasts were plagued with bye-weeks this week. This left fans questioning why the Beasts hadn't prepared for losing their starting QB, WR, TE mega Bucs stack. When asked about this, Austin Boister- the owner of the Beasts, said, "We didn't plan on losing to the Hound Dogs."

There is a rumor out that the Beasts are considering a rebrand for next season...


When called on Monday to comment, the Beasts did not return the League Office call.

2022 SGL Cup Playoffs: Round 1

It's the most wonderful time of the year! The weather is getting colder, Christmas is coming up, and the 2022 SGL Cup Playoffs are officially here. We have some teams familiar with playing football late into December and some trying to make this more of a holiday tradition! Let's take a look at the 8-maids-a-milking and see which 4 might come up sour.  1.  Walter's Wizards (9-5) Proj: 126.2 vs 8. CDMX Bulldogs (7-7) Proj: 123.1 Congratulations to Walter's Wizards for securing the 1 seed in the 2022 SGL Cup Playoffs. The Wizards went on quite the hot streak to end the season, winning 4/5 and only posting less than 121 once. This is the second time in franchise history- '13; in '13, the Wizards defeated Grant's Gamblers in a way too close, 122-121. The Wizards have faced the Bulldogs 3x, actually, and are (2-1) against them in the playoffs. Most famously, this is a rematch of the 2015 SGL Cup Championship, where the Wizards defeated Juan In A Million 152-94. T
