Some of the best
players in the nation are walking the walk after talking the
talk. After two months of hype and trash talk, the games
have begun. What makes this even special, is that every one
here has good game. But some of the players have already
separated themselves from the others. The BFL, after
proclaiming their greatness have established themselves as
the league to top. Winky White destroyed TAFKAC in the round
robin 41-6. Fruitman of the BFL has also been victorious
with wins of Terry Whigham and Kevin Fox. Fox is the first
to be eliminated from advancing to the tournament round
after loosing to Fruitman and Terry Whigham. The Creator and
Kwan Drake have represented the PFL well thus far with wins
over BFL member D. Rob and non league participant 3rd &
Long. The Swammi, tournament organizer, lost in his round
game 17-0 to Firm $F$ member Ade. So the action is hot and
the camaraderie is the best thing about the weekend. Its
Madden A Holics heaven with so many guys with a high passion
for the game getting together having fun! If you ain't
here...you are missing it! -- The Swammi
Red Rza of the Firm $F$ and
D. Rob of the BFL just played the first overtime game of the
tournament. It ended in a 38-35 thriller as D. Rob took the
win in overtime.
We will give you an updated
report later in the evening

The relatively obscure
BFL of Atlanta has made a name for themselves this
tournament. Lead by Winky White and Vince the Fruitman, this
league is deep with talented players. Winky literally ripped
through the round robin destroying all of his opponents by a
score of 118-30. It wasn't until the first round of the
single elimination rounds that Winky faced his first test,
vs. PFL member, Joe Hilton, as White held on to win 21-17.
D. Rob, Lonnie Hill, Coop, Ron Wilborn, Eddie Parker and the
Fruitman were all impressive in theirng round wins.
PFL power house, The Creator didn't disappoint either, with
wins over D. Rob of the BFL and Bulldog of New Orleans.
However, Firm $F$ representative Red Rza, dropped The
Creator for his only loss 20-18. Unfortunately for the The
Firm, Red Rza, nor All Star made the tournament rounds.
Fellow Firm member Action Jackson did make into the
tournament with a win over The Swammi, and a forfeit win
credited over The Gamer, who did not show.
PFL Sleepers
Represent
Although top PFL players
Fox, and The Swammi were eliminated early, Teddy Brown, Joe
Hilton, Brian Cook, and The Creator did manage to keep the
league name respectable. However it is clear that the BFL is
the dominant league in the tournament with each of their 7
members advancing to the tournament round.
Terry "The Terminator"
Whigham Advances To Quarter Finals
The Terminator, terminated
D. Robs existence in the Madden Games tournament with a
42-38. "Hattiesburg is representin'," proclaimed Whigham
after defeating D. Rob. Robertson was the first of the BFL
ballers to fall from the ranks.
