Week 15 started with a return of Leagues. It had been a while since we last had a league game and after some bowl games and snow games it was back to regularly scheduled programming. We had a double dose of Leagues with BLOP taking on Gorillaz and Semi Pro taking on Stogies.

First up Stogies v Semi Pro

Both teams came into this game hungry and desperate for a win. Semi Pro had just lost a back and forth contest to Gorillaz by a td and Stogies got themselves pooped on by Avenger and GM. Stogies was shorthanded and without their star mexican QB in yaron, their stalking o lineman in bert, and their singing d lineman in daxy. This meant Gronk to QB and Werz and Whiskey would have to fill in. Semi Pro took the ball first and went a quick three and out. Stogies couldn’t answer and gave Semi Pro back the ball. Unfortunately for stogies, that was the only 3 and out for semi pro and the scoring started early and often. SP drove down the field methodically with quick passes to Glasses boy and Storm culminating in a 30 yard strike to stats for the first score of the game. A beauty extra point toe tap by Portal made it 7-0. Stogies would drive down the field again but a portal int in the red zone gave SP the ball back and once again they went to work. This time with quick strikes to vegh and stats ending in a storm td. 13-0 SP. Stogies again would drive down the field and put themselves in a position to score. Stogies again could not punch it in after a few bad drops in the red zone, it was SP with the ball once again looking to blow the game open. On 4th and 12 portal found the soft spot in the zone and waltzed into the endzone uncovered to make it 19-0. Finally, gronk started doing gronk things and the same play train started humming. Handoffs to werz and ross got the stogies into the red zone and a dump off to dk gave them their first points to keep the game within reach 19-6. It was now on the defense to make a stop. On 3rd and long Blitz jumped a route to storm but just could not hang on and gave SP a second chance. three plays later it was stats once again this time from 15 out to make it 25-6. A solo extra point made it 26-6. But Gronk went back to his game and started running and handing off and upping the tempo to try and keep his team in this one. However, the drops kept piling up and another redzone trip was wasted. five plays later it was storm finding the endzone for his second TD of the game and solo taking another extra point to make it 33-6. after a turnover on downs for stogies, SP would punch it in once more to stats and add on yet another extra point to solo to make it 40-6. Stogies would finally score on their last drive on a gronk 12 yard rushing TD for a final score of 40-12. an incredible game all around for SP and plenty of jewball candidates but its gotta be stats returning to jewball after a month off due to injury and scoring not 1, not 2, but 3 tds and playing stellar defense as always. Good to have you back stats.

On the other side of the Field it was BLOP v. Gorillaz. Gorillaz trying to keep their season going and move to 3-1 and in sole possession of first place and BLOP trying to pick a desperately needed first win of the season. Blop was missing someone though and it was a big someone, not just because of all the weight he’s gained but because of the talent he brings to the field. Zinn was off in NFL playoff mode and Blocks stepped in to see if he could settle down his Roy brother in lego. Gorillaz took the ball first and lego did lego things and ran one in and it was 6-0 in a flash. Blop was hungry and perhaps maybe too hungry and a forced throw to dobs leads to zada int and a pick six 13-0 gorillaz. Now BLOP really needed to get moving, unfortunately though this time it was mighty snatching the ball away from blocks and taking it for a 20-0 gorillaz lead. now blop was angry and led by their captain they started running angry. prime looked like a one man wrecking crew and forced the ball down the field ending in a dachs to legs td 20-7. after a gorillaz three and out, it was dachs going back to the well and just force feeding the ball to prime who was running like a man possessed. four plays later another td for prime and just like that it was 20-14 and we had ourselves a game. However, whether it was Lego feeling snubbed for Roy or just mighty putting on his cape, a long ball from lego to mighty made it 26-14. Dachs and prime would not be stopped and three plays later dachs found prime again. 26-21. Blop would get a turnover on downs the next possession and had four plays from the 20 to try and take the lead. An almost exact scenario that Gorillaz were in the last game against SP. hold on and don’t let the other team score. Gorillaz went to work and BZ sacked dachs (again eerily similar to the game against SP) to stop Blop in their tracks. a turnover on downs and no score. Gorillaz now took the ball back with a chance to ice it. A score would end the game. a stop would give Blop one more chance. Lego worked his way methodically down the field and ended with a shut up zada td to ice the game. 32-21 was the final. Mighty had quite the stat line with a receiving TD, 2 sacks and a pick six…. but that’s how you know he’s not getting the jewball. Instead it’s Zada who shockingly was quietly grabbing flag after flag across the middle and racking up catch after catch , oh and he had himself a TD and pick six as well. good stuff but shut up zada.

In game 2 it was Colors of Lego, legs, solo, steveo, rook, tom and werz vs. Dark of Pray, kagan, storm, prime, madelbread, oppen and kut. Dark got the scoring started first with a pray to oppen td who barreled his way through the defense for a 1-0 lead. two plays later a pray int of lego put dark back into scoring position but this time it was a handoff to mandelbread who threw it deep to kagan for a 60 yard bomb to make it a 2-0 lead. Lego would finally started clicking with his wrs. and would hit solo for a td to make it 2-1. Darks offense would then just stall. Whether it was the pressure from legs who had himself five sacks on the day or just the offense not clicking, dark could not get anything going. Colors took the ball back and lego started using his legs (pun intended) and capped off a long drive with another solo td, his second of the day to make it 2-2. Dark again would go nowhere and this time it was lego taking it himself on a rushing td from 25 out to make it 3-2 colors. finally, after a kagan int of lego, dark was able to manage some offense and a dump off to storm who scrambled in from 20 out tied the game at 3-3. Lego though wouldn’t be denied and marched down the field and hit werz on 4th and goal from the 3 on a pretty curl that would make the great dachs and dax jealous to take a 4-3 lead. After a lego int of pray, lego went back to the drawing board and hit solo yet again to take a 5-3 lead. A legs sack because no one blocked him ended any chance of a dark comeback and it was a 5-3 final. Jewball to solo for the monster game at wr with 3 tds. Between the two games combined, Solo had about 8 catches and six of them went for scores (extra points and tds). Shout out to Kagan who was absolutely everywhere on sunday. Between coming down to sub in the league game and then tracking down every single flag in game 2 was just incredible to see. Unfortunately, dark lost so no jewball for the bartender.

One last thing to touch on from Sunday is that we have another In both player of the week. Someone who not just won two games on sunday but absolutely dominated. And…..he kinda won three football games in the span of twelve hours. Lego Bomb you are this weeks in both player of the week. between the two games having 6 passing tds and 2 rushing tds and leading both games to victory, there is no one more deserving. We need to see you signing up for more boths to add you to the in both club but for this week you absolutely earned it. Keep building on that Roy resume.

Who wants week 16. In Both. IJWT. Happy bday J!
