Week 2 Action, Several in Traction.

A decidedly brutal week 2 kicked off on Sunday in the MMBBL.Three games were played and it's safe to say that some serious grudges are developing.

In the first game of the day, Gildengrip's Gold Miners squared off against the Fly-by Knights. Both teams were bringing a lot of talent and guts to this match, and in the end it was a 1-1 tie on the scoreboard. The Gold Miners handed out the lion's share of the whupping, but skill managed to save the Fly-by Knights from suffering their first defeat. MVPs of the match were Mick Mithril of the Gold Miners, and Thrower Jacques Strappe of the Knights, who played very strong and has shown some phenominal physical development since last time we saw him play. A nod goes out as well to Blitzer Cyrano de Baggagerack, who scored the Knights' touchdown and had an interception as well.

The match was, as can be expected, a violent affair as well. Irgon McIrons, a previous MVP of the Gold Miners, suffered a broken neck and will be hard-pressed indeed to get himself of dangerous situations. Twice as bad for the Fly-by Knights as their previous MVP, Lineman Karl von Uberstamp, had his hip sundered and will be slower because of it, while catcher Flash Madison broke his collarbone and is now a poster boy for physical frailty.

In the second game, the Dusk Hill Dirt Bursters trounced the Low-Blows 3-0. The Dirt Bursters are developing into quite a force, and this game was highlighted by the stellar play of the Ghouls. Despite their competence, the MVP award for the undead went to Khermit the Mummy, who based on sideline accounts was shoved around a lot and moaned occasionally. For the Low-Blows the award went to Footsy Shinstomp, who may have been responsible in part for a wight spending almost the entire match in the dugout seeing stars. Ol' Teabagger of the Dirt Bursters deserves a nod for his two touchdown scores in the game.

The third game of the day was nearly cancelled due to the Bumlookers failing to show, but an eager Gold Miners squad happily obliged the Meathooks and the game was on! Te final score was a 1-1 draw, which left both teams wondering just how long they had actually bothered with the football at all. This was the second meeting of these two teams, and a bit of a rivalry is brewing here.

Starley O'Steele took the MVP award for the Gold Miners, and was an undeniable presence on the line of scrimmage. Beef Bigaxe of the Meathooks was the other MVP, displaying an herculean effort which led to the Meathooks' touchdown. He's quickly making himself a favourite for league MVP in the early running and it will be exciting to see where his play takes him in the coming weeks!

All in all a very intense week of play! Hopefully int he days to come we can bring you the next Bumlookers match, as well as more action from all the other teams in this great league! Stay tuned!
