Offensive Player of the Game: Neil - ran up and down the field. 4 touchdowns.
Defensive Player of the Game: Josh- Stuck with his man.
Special Teams Player of the Game: Jacob. Gained serious yards.
Pitch and Weather: How long will that stupid dust remain? At least most of the construction stuff is off the field. Oh, and the heat was ridiculous. Not a wind in sight. If one could see wind that is...
Summary: A game of two halves. Because of the ridiculous heat, a much needed water break was called halfway through the game. Various players were injured thanks to Jacob, who sat the majority of the game in the penalty box (the log beside the field). Nevertheless, the Crisco Commander took the league lead in touchdowns with 2 on the day, but it wasn't enough to withold the machine that was Taylor's teels. Led by a rejuvenated Jordan, the teel squad was too much, particularly with the addition of Sam and Max.
Bogus Moment of the Day - Jacob slamming into Taylor, with the latter lying in a prone position for a good portion of 5 minutes. Looked nasty, and sounded nastier.
Player Ratings (out of 10, 4 being the lowest):
Maciej - 8.5; Ain't nobody dope like him, he's just so fresh....so fresh and so clean, clean.
Patrick - 9; Put up good numbers and fought through a nasty scrape on the ribcage.
Neil - 9; Worked hard for yards after the catch. Burned the field with feets of fire.
Jacob - 9; Fought around coverage for yards. Two players injured thanks to him.
Peter - 9; Made several good plays, particularly on one fumble recovery.
Tommy - 8; Put up 2 rushing TDs, and fired a few Hands of Toms out for good measure.
Josh - 9; Sped around coverage. Added defence to an already nice looking game.
Jordan. - 9.5; Effortless execution. Makes it look too easy.
Sam - 7.5; Put up a few touchdowns in a decent debut.
Max - 7.5; A good debut from the shorter debutant.
Taylor - 8; Played a good game until the injury sidelined him indefinitely.
