Word from the Mouth: Empty Wallet! edition

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and the extra day off. The league has notified all captains and posted on the Facebook groups about smoking while inside the park. Not only should you go outside the fenced area, but try to stay away from people as best you can. We don’t want people complaining about us, like the soccer guys did about D’Arcy McGee.

On top of everyone not smoking inside the park area, there has been tons of garbage left behind, and that’s not cool as well. We are all grown ups and if picking up our empty bottles and dropping them in the trash when you leave is not too much, what is the world coming to.

On top of taking everything down at the end of a 12-hour day, I shouldn’t need to spend half an hour picking up after everyone else. I already have bags of peoples stuff that they leave behind, you should see some of the crap I have found (house keys, car keys, one shoe, a wallet that was empty when I picked it up (ed’s note: sure it was…)). How do you leave this stuff behind and not ask about it?

 

Recap

 

D1

 

Outlaws vs A-Team (47-22)

I don’t know what to tell you, I picked A-Team to win this game knowing Steve wasn’t there and Brady made an ass out of me by throwing 7 TDs and controlling the tempo of the game. In the first half nothing was working for A-Team, and they were down 32-2 at half. In the second half they got going, but at that point Outlaws were taking it easy and just trying to avoid getting hurt.

 

D2

 

Phoenix vs Respect (7-24)

This was a must win for Phoenix to keep their slim playoff hopes alive and Kevin dookied the bed, missing wide-open players, bad plays being called. and then hesitating to throw the ball. I have to give it to Avery and the Respect team he was filling in on. Avery called lots of short plays that his guys were able to turn into big gains. Then on defense, Dilan had them playing off and they were shooting all over the place. Phoenix had chances to make it a close game, but couldn’t capitalize when they were there in front of them.

 

D3

 

Ducks vs Sour Puss (34-20)

Going into this game, I expected to see Ducks crush Sour Puss with ease. That wasn’t the case and Dave should be lucky that he had Steve to throw to because every time a play needed to be made, Steve made it. Ducks didn’t have a way of slowing Emilie Carrier who went off for 120 yards and 1 TD on 9 catches. I can tell you that Jessy could have gone to her all day as Ducks left the deep ins open all game long. Ducks will need to figure it out if they want to make a deep playoff push.

 

D4

 

Sour Peeps vs F.A.T Players (19-39)

Leon looked good in this game and Shawn was his guy catching 5 balls for 75 yards and 3 TDs. Let’s give Geneviéve Gaudet another weapon and see what she can do. Simon might be the best player on Sour Peeps, but the most exciting player to watch is Geneviéve. You needed to see her take off for her 45-yard TD run. She made every single player on the defense miss and, in some cases, miss twice. On the sideline we were like, did that really just happen?

 

Hawks vs Nothing But D (30-13)

This wasn’t a clean game from both sides of the ball. Both Thomas and Alec struggled to complete 50% of their passes, there were some drops, but there were a lot of passes that weren’t on target. What saved Hawks was their defense with Rob getting 2 picks and Eliott getting 1. If Thomas didn’t have Eliott scoring 4 TDs on short passes and making players miss this might have ben a different game. Marcel still isn’t 100% and will need to get there if Nothing But D want to make another run at the title.

 

Slot Machines vs F.A.T. Players (31-32)

I won’t take anything away from F.A.T. Players who were missing Sean who was off being a good father coaching his sons’ team. I hope they won cause if not Leon said he wasn’t invited to the victory party. The biggest issue for F.A.T. Players was dropped balls, I think when Dominic put on his sleeves for the second game he forgot how to catch. Kyle played QB for Slot Machines as Giovani was off somewhere coaching as well. This meant a lots of miscommunications and bad timing on routes being run at wrong depths. But Kyle relied on Eric with lots of drags and crosses all game long and it took a while, but F.A.T. Players figured it out before it was too late. In the last few moments of the game Leon elected to go for 2 and the win after not getting any converts all game. He was able to buy time before finding Seb with no defender around for the game winning points.

 

D5

 

Sorry folks I missed you this weekend, maybe next week if not before the season ends.

 

Women’s

Just like D5 I missed seeing any of your games. Ladies, I hope to see at least 1 more game before the season ends.

 

Big shout out to the Ladies on Crazy B’s for getting their first win of the season.

 

That’s all I have for you this week. I kept it short so that I can enjoy my Monday with Sunshine even if it does look like rain.

 

Studs & Duds

 

If you had been waiting for a slow week to make my list this was your week. There were only 18 games played over 6 divisions so there is a chance that your team was the only one playing. Now lets just jump into it and see who earned their Thanksgiving feast or who shouldn’t even get the scraps.

 

Studs

 

D1

- Marvin Steinberg 3 TDs and 1 pick.

 

D2

- David Michaud 1 TD on offense then 2 more on defense both pick 6s.

 

D3

- Jeanne Lewis 5 catches for 49 yards and 4 TDs. She also made 1 tackle on defense.

 

D4

- Dylan Rogers and his 3 sacks are the reason why F.A.T. Players won the game against Slot Machines.

 

D5

- Emilio Ulisse or the utilityman as he should be referred to as. Emilio threw 2 TD passes, had 3 1-point converts, ran the ball 13 times for 101 yards and 2 TDs. Then on defense he picked off 1 pass and made 1 tackle.

 

Women’s

- Zuzana Sichova 6 catches 76 yards and 2 TDs.

 

Duds

 

D1

- Jonathan Plourde for throwing 3 picks.

 

D2

- Robert White 1 catch 7 yards and no defensive stats.

 

D3

- Dave Lepine threw 4 picks in what should have been an easy game.

 

D4

- Gold for only having 2 players catch balls while only completing 7 out of 27 passes.

 

D5

- Jorge Hernandez threw 5 picks and only had 119 yards total.

 

Women’s

- Kayla Gauthier 10 picks thrown in 2 games.

 

There you have it, the players I felt balled out and those that didn’t need to come out in the cold and could have stayed home.

I know some of you might be mad that your team isn’t on my list and there can only be one reason for this, and that is your team hasn’t shown me they deserve a spot on the list. Win some games, beat a good team or two, then we can see if you make my list. With only 3 weeks left to play time is running out quickly.

 

Final Thoughts

 

Good luck to everyone playing this week and if you’re at home eating some turkey, enjoy getting fat while the rest of us are out here putting in the work to stay in shape. Yes, round is a shape, but that is only good if your playing O-line or D-line and we don’t have those in flag.

Even though we have the extra day off on Monday doesn’t mean you should go out and kill someone on the field. Just go out, have fun, and get a little exercise. Remember it’s a game we are all playing, so enjoy it well you can because one day you’re going to wake up and not be able to do it anymore.

Word from the Mouth: Total Psychological Collapse! edition

Man, oh man, how time flies. Three weeks left in the season, so it’s time to get ready for the playoffs.

I want to know when people thought or figured I was approachable. I mean it just seems like everybody all the time just wants to be around me and talk with me and no matter what I do, people just flock to me.

People used to think I was a butthole (ed’s note: “used to”), what happened to those days? I could come to work, be left alone to do my job, and not have to worry about my Sunshine getting angry that people are talking to me.

Like she would ever do that. Now she only gets angry at my game day attire. This week I had a potential new player come and approach me while shirtless and after talking for a few minutes, he was still interested in joining, so I let Jon handle the rest. I guess I have one of those faces that just says, yes, you can talk to me I don’t bite, but rub my face and see what happens. (ed’s note: total psychological collapse. We’re witnessing it, people, and we’re doing nothing. For shame.)

 

Recap

 

D1

Outlaws vs Iron Wolves (41-24)

 

No Willie for iron Wolves, so Simon filled in at QB and did what he could, but when the defense gives up as many TDs as they forced incompletions (6), you’re not going to win many games. At points in this game, it looked like Steve was just out there throwing it around in warmups. It also seemed like the only incompletes were drops. Scoring points is great, but you need to be able to do something on defense and Iron Wolves didn’t do anything. No sacks, no picks, not even sure they got a hand on a ball and Outlaws managed 2 sacks and 2 picks, with one of them on a convert where Marvin took it back for 2 points. Outlaws were too much for the Wolves this week, but expect to see a closer game next time these two teams meet.

 

D2

 

Phoenix vs Villains (46-39)

What a shootout this was and whoever protected the ball better was going to win. I know we all figured Kevin would throw at least 2 picks (ed’s note: Complete. Psychological. Collapse.), sorry to disappoint you all it was Jeremi who ended the day with 2 picks, the second one on the last play of the game to Josh in the endzone. This is the play that I felt could have changed the game. On fourth down and 5 from my 10-yard line I went for it and threw a deep pass to an open player when I had other players open and who were short and had the first down. This gave Villains the ball on the 10 in a 33 all game. Villains scored but failed the convert. With the score 39-33 for the Villains, this is where Phoenix has folded in the past. Well, this time around and with their playoffs hopes on the line, Phoenix stepped up and scored with 3:10 left to go up 40-39. You would think this would put all the pressure on Villains, but the way Phoenix had been playing all season you never knew what they would do. After a penalty and a short gain Villains turned the ball over on downs leaving 1:18 in the game. This is when JF scored his 3 TD of the game and gave Phoenix a 7-point lead, but left time for Villains time to try and score. They moved the ball all the way down before Josh picked the ball off in the endzone to seal the win for Phoenix.

 

D3

 

Tropic Thunder vs Iron Wolves (24-39)

No Justin, so this meant it was time for Rob to ball out and show he should have had his shot at QB in D3. Well Rob, when your third pass of the game was your first of 3 picks, it wasn’t going to be a good game for you. Tropic Thunder have now lost 3 of their last 4 and no longer look like that team that would walk all over teams. Jon might not look pretty out on the field, but he gets the job done by boring the defense with short play after short play before taking a shot and that player being wide open. Whether they catch the ball is another story. Iron Wolves won the game, but I still feel that certain players need to be getting more balls thrown their way. Tropic Thunder need to get off to a quicker start and can’t rely on the defense to get stops the offense needs to be more effective if they want to win it all again like in the spring.

 

D4

 

Sour Peeps vs Binettes (31-12)

Simon Torres has become an absolute stud since switching over from QB to receiver. He scored 4 TDs in this game 3 on offense and the other on 1 of his 2 picks on defense. Geneviéve was able to limit her mistakes and protect the ball. What was surprising was the way Binettes came out and struggled. I figured that this was going to be an easy game and they would be able to enforce their will onto Sour Peeps. Instead, they came out flat in the first half other than a missed tackle that allowed Thomas to run down the sideline for a 33-yard TD. At half it was 13-6 for Sour Peeps, who were starting with the ball in the second half. In the second half the defense for Binettes looked like Swiss cheese as they gave up TDs on 3 of the 4 possessions. Late in the game Albert put a long 7-minute drive together capping it off with a 4-yard pass to Thomas for his second score of the game.

 

D5

 

Phoenix vs Les Last Calls (26-37)

Battle of the top teams in the division or it at least should have been, but Phoenix was missing players all over the place. I knew if Phoenix had a chance to win, they would need to limit the number of touches Seb got and would need to protect the ball. Seb had 3 catches for 24 yards, so that gets checked off. Protect the ball, no picks and only 1 sack, protecting the ball check. Worrying about Guillaume running? Never thought of it until after he went for 70 yards on 7 carries and a TD. Now for the important question, who is Louis François Francoeur Décarie? He is the guy that torched the Phoenix defense for 97 yards on 7 catches and scored 4 TDs and making 8 tackles on defense. When these teams’ meet again in the playoffs expect to see a much different game. There is one play that keeps popping back into my head and it was after a Phoenix turnover, Yann made a great jump on the ball, but dropped the pick and on the next play Les Last Calls scored. It was early in the game but would have made it a tie game instead of being down 2 scores.

 

Phoenix vs Titans (31-26)

What can I say, it’s the same old Titans team except now they have a new guy named Emre Sagir and he looks the part, but needs to be fed the ball more. 1 catch for 7 yards just won’t cut it. Justin played his best game ever on offense, scoring 2 TDS and having 70 yards. Biddle saved 2 or 3 TDs that kept the game close, and Jalen had 3 sacks. Robert did all he could throwing 4 TDs, no picks, no sacks and ran 4 times for 26 yards. With 2:30 left in the second half and being down 25-20 Emre got the only turnover of the game picking Kevin off and giving Robert the ball with a chance to be a hero. 4 plays and with 23 seconds left on the clock Robert connected with Biddle for the score and to go up 1. Titans elected to go for 2 and the ball was picked off and, on the run back Titans made the tackle preventing the convert return and what would have been the game. With 23 seconds and 3 timeouts, I told the ref I had plenty of time to score. Titans thought the game was over, especially when the drive started with an incomplete pass. Phoenix moved the ball to the 6-yard line and had one final play. I called my play knowing who and where I wanted to go with the ball, then I saw they were in man and so did Yan who faked out and slanted in and the ball was right there waiting for him to wrap his fingers around for the win.

 

Women’s

 

Dirty Chia Lattes vs Majestic Divas (6-12)

This was the first time I got to see Dirty Chia Lattes play and I can tell you that their defense played good in this one getting 4 picks, but it was their offense that struggled. Sarah-Jade Gagné struggled to keep drives going, as her team had a case of butterfingers. I think in time this Chai Latte team will be good, they just need time to learn the game. Late in the game being down 6, Dirty Chia Latte turned the ball over on downs and Majestic Divas needed to get a first down to end the game if Chia Latte used their timeouts properly, but they didn’t and this allowed Majestic Divas to get away with not needing a first down. After the game I spoke with Dirty Chai Latte and let them know about the timeouts and they said it slipped their minds, but they will know for next time.

That’s all I have for you this week folks. For those who can’t get enough MFL newsm look for Max’s article later this week covering Brossard and Laval. Oh, and don’t forget about Terry and Willie on MFL Total Access on Wednesday.

 

Studs & Duds

 

With playoffs right around the corner I expect to see lots of players balling out to get their teams into the playoffs or battling it out for that number 1 spot.

 

Studs

D1

- Stephen Harripersaud as many TDs as incompletes (6)

 

D2

- Jean-François Lawrence 6 catches 111 yards, 3 TDs, 2 1-point converts, 3 tackles and 1 pick on defense.

 

D3

- Marvin Steinberg for completing 9 passes and 7 of them going for TDs, while also rushing for 58 yards. It wasn’t the stats that put Marvin over the top it was the going out of bounds instead of scoring on the last play of the game in a blowout.

 

D4

- Simon Torres 2 games played 14 catches, 172 yards, 6 TDs and on defense he made 5 tackles had 1 sack and 4 pick and returned 1 of them for a score.

 

D5

- Louis François Francoeur Décarie 7 catches 97 yards and 4 TDs plus 8 tackles on defense.

 

Women’s

- Kelly Anania 5 catches for 83 yards and 2 TDs on defense she made 2 tackles had 2 picks and scored on 1 of them.

 

Duds

 

D1

- James Infantino 1 catch 4 yards, must pick those numbers up especially when everyone else got 4 balls at least.

 

D2

- Rejects for trying to be Jason. If you know you know, if not ask someone.

 

D3

- Everyone on Blitzing Bastards not named Kris Hope. You all need to step up your game on offense and help you QB.

 

D4

- Marcel Jovani for his first game of the day where he didn’t record 1 stat all game.

 

D5

- Sébastien Lucas Alzate 3 catches for 24 yards, not numbers the number 1 receiver in the division should be putting up.

 

Women’s

- Tigre QBs for combining to throw 5 picks and only 10 completions for 89 yards. 

 

 

There you have it my picks of who balled out and who was flopping around like a fish out of water. This must be the saddest or the greatest stat line ever, 4 catches, 6 yards, 3 TDs, and 1 1-point convert. I wanted to put in on my list, but didn’t know where it should go. Either Jeremy you did great or you sucked. Guess it’s up to how you see it.

Final Thoughts

 

I want to remind everyone that we are using the city fields, and we need to be respectful and pick up after ourselves. The amount of garbage that gets left behind is ridiculous.

Other than picking up after yourself, let’s not touch other people’s stuff if it doesn’t belong to you leave it alone. I can tell you that when people touch my stuff and it goes missing it drives me crazy and I lose it since its not where it should be or where I left it.

It’s looking like it will be nice this week and that’s good since we have 7 time slots instead of 6. Games are back on at Le Ber and that means Willie gets his pizza unless he is playing at Arthur Therrien.

With playoffs coming fast, remember that players need to have 5 games in the books to be eligible for playoffs, so make sure you get your games in. Last thing and most importantly, we are all here to play a game and have fun, so don’t take the game to seriously, have fun, get some exercise, and don’t kill anyone. See you all Saturday.

Word from the Mouth: The Editor's Half Asleep! edition

(ed’s note: I’m super tired editing this and am really just scanning it. Enjoy the grammatical and spelling errors!)

 

Welcome back. Hope you’re all having a wonderful week and if you had Monday off, great for you and if not, guess it’s just a regular day for you. I got suckered into working the holiday because I was told it was mandatory and that the shift was only going to be 2 hours max, it wasn’t. After sitting around for those 8 and me being bored out of my mind and having no one to talk to, I went to see my baby and rambled on for hours to make up for lost time. I know what she is getting for Christmas (earplugs).

Sitting around watching the 9ers play on Sunday and seeing Brock Purdy walking off the field saying I love you mom made me think of Willie. The difference between the two is I think Willie is the better player.

On another note for Willie, I don’t like to be stared at while walking around shirtless, so please let your mom know the first show is free, but after that there is a fee. Ask Jon about it, that’s why I get paid what I do. It’s not because I’m a great ref.

 

Recap

 

D1

 

Sorry folks I missed out on your games once again.

 

D2

 

Phoenix vs Thunder Buddies (19-26)

Once again Phoenix couldn’t finish a game they were in control of in the second half. First half Phoenix could do nothing wrong and they forced Terry to punt and even picked him off once, but they did get some help with the drops on key downs. There were a few areas that Phoenix was able to attack, and this allowed JF to score 2 TDs and Josh numerous first down plays. When the teams changed sides that’s when Phoenix started to fall apart and let Thunder Buddies gain momentum. Phoenix opens the second half with the ball and a 5-point lead. Now is where the mistakes start to happen, and Thunder Buddies start to take over. A few plays into the second half Victor picked off a pass when a receiver stopped running their route but as the QB I should have seen the hole where he sat. Very quickly that 5-point lead became a 7-point deficit. There was still plenty of time and I was never worried we weren’t going to go down and score it was a matter of how much time would be left if we needed a second possession. Well, we were able to march and had a few good shots at the endzone, but the stupid sun blinded my players and they weren’t able to pull it down. I’m not throwing anyone under the bus because everyone had issue looking back into the sun just ask Willie how many easy drops he had. With 3 minutes left still being down 7 Terry knew he needed to get 1 or 2 first downs and it was over. Terry, Rob, and Will got back at us for last year, but I can tell you next year were taking it by 3 scores again.

 

D3

 

Ducks’ vs Iron Wolves (20-19)

JP Morrier is a huge addition for Iron Wolves, and it paid off with 1 TD and 2 picks. Josh once again was Jon’s guy when play needed to be made. Players who need to make a little more out of the balls they got were JF and Lucas. They combined for 7 catches but only 37 yards and no scores. On the Ducks side Dave did an excellent job of spreading the ball and keeping the defense off guard. Dave had 5 players with at least 26 yards and 2 catches each. Dave only had 18 completions and 174 yards, so you do the math and tell me that was good ball distribution. With 10 minutes left and a 12 point lead I figured this was a wrap, Jon has this on lock, then he started to throw the ball and that’s when the problems started. On their final 3 drives of the game Jon threw picks to Antoine, Tristan, and Nicholas. Nicholas scored from 20 yards out to put the Ducks up 20-19. Jon threw his fourth and final pick to end the game after getting the ball on the other side of half.

 

D4

 

Action Squad vs Nothing but D (19-6)

Andrew Ochisor had a great game rushing Gold getting 3 sacks, forcing quick throws, and not allowing Gold any rushing yards. The defense wasn’t the issue for Nothing But D, the problem was the offense and not getting anything going until it was too late. Alec had a great deep pass early in the game that could have set the tone, but it was dropped and the first thing I said was Marcel is getting that ball, but he was out with an injury. Late in the game Alec ran one in but at that point the game was already over. Gold finally got Justin involved in the game getting him the ball 7 times for 59 yards and 2 TDs.


D5

 

Phoenix vs Wong Dynasty (34-7)

I won’t talk much about this game and will point out that nothing went Wong Dynasty’s way. I know that Phoenix had 5 picks on defense, but 3 of them were balls that bobbled around and fell into the hands of a Phoenix player. The one player Ryan should have gone to more was his center, Leo. He had the size over the defender and when the ball went his way he made plays. It would have been a pick free game from Kevin if Matthew didn’t get the interception on the last play of the first half. I won’t lie, I threw that ball up hoping the rusher was going to make contact with me since he was getting really close all game, but he was able to stop just inches from me and it turned into a good play from the team leading the league in picks.

 

28-3 vs 514 (12-25)

This must be the best game Lesniak has played in an exceedingly long time. He was 21 of 32 for 176 yards, 4 TDs and no picks. This is what happens when you simplify your playbook and your players catch the ball. For 28-3 I have no clue what they are doing the last few weeks as they have been missing all sorts of players and you can’t win that way. Nico, Mass only getting 1 ball is crazy. Feed the man on 5 yard hooks all day, you know he is going to keep those chains moving. Less than 10 minutes into the game 28-3 was up 12-0 and nothing could go wrong, then the team started to fall apart as they dropped balls, missed tackles, and this allowed 514 to climb back into the game before taking it over.

 

Women’s

 

Déesses du Drapeau vs Crazy B’s (24-13)

What a difference it is when a team has a QB. With so many injuries and missing players, Crazy B’s went out and signed Roxanne to step in and fill the QB spot. The move paid off as they were able to move the ball and score some points. With Roxanne at QB this allowed Zuzana to ball out as a receiver getting 4 catches and 65 yards. It will be awork in progress for these ladies, but this is a great first step. On the DDD side of things once again Viviane balled out. Big game for sure handed center Charlotte getting 73 yards and 1 TD on her 7 catches. Daphné scored 2 TDs on her 3 catches. This DDD team is good and if they keep improving maybe they will make the finals and this time win it.

 

That’s all I have for you in the way of recaps. If you want more, look out for Terry and Will on MFL total Access on Wednesday.

 

Studs & Duds

 

I can tell you from playing early in the day as well as late that the sun was a huge factor in a few of those games and it was reflected on the stat sheet. Now let’s see you balled out and who stunk up the joint.

 

Studs

 

D1

- Manuel Allard-Roy 2 picks on defense, 4 catches for 62 yards and 2 TDs on offense.

 

D2

- Samuel Aerts 5 catches 55 yards and 3 TDs.

 

D3

- Benjamin Denis 9 catches 111 yards 3 TDs and on defense 7 tackles and 1 pick.

 

D4

- Sean Kennedy 5 catches for 84 yards, 3 TDs and had 2 picks and scored on 1 of them on defense.

 

D5

- Guillaume Dubuc Lacombe 22 of 31 for 185 yards, 4 TDs and had 1 pick on defense as well.

 

Women’s

- Mélissa-Anne Xavier 6 catches 3 TDs and 54 yards.

 

Duds

 

D1

- Eliott Bourque with a rating that high you need to pull down more than 1 catch for 4 yards, I don’t care that it was for a TD.

 

D2

- Tigres for giving up 50 in a game that should have been much closer.

 

D3

- Marvin Steinberg 9 completions on 21 attempts for a total of 70 yards. I know you had 2 picks on defense, but you also threw 2 as a QB and only 3 TDs.

 

D4

- Vincent Des Rosiers-Houle 4 interceptions.

 

D5

- 28-3 for losing a game where they forced 6 picks on defense.

 

Women’s

- Majestic Divas for throwing 5 picks and not scoring any points.

 

That’s who I got based off stats and seeing the games.
