Farley Printing Company 13 - State Property 12

Farley Printing squeezed out a victory over State Property on the muddy tundra of Canby Park. It wasn't a pretty game by any means. The Dutchman threw two TDs but also two picks. There were dropped balls and missed flags. The game got physical and there was some questionable calls. But like Doc says, "You want to play ref or you want to play QB? Make up your mind."

Farley Printing opened up the game in spectacular fashion with the Dutchman throwing his third pass right into the gurney of Gucci, the State Property MLB. If the Big Angry had been there he would have gone ballistic. He also wouldn't have caught any passes lined up at W4 - because I was out there and I'm not sure The Dutchman knew there was a W4. Either that or I'm really short and he couldn't see me. But I digress. With FPC backed up on their own 30 yard line State Property was able to push it into the endzone for 6-0 lead. But as is customary with SP, they went for two and came up short.

FPC responded with some craft running by The Dutchman who would find Feaster in the endzone to tie the game at 6. But Lil Mitts came in and missed his PAT wide right. Again, it was better that the BA was not there. He might have had a seizure had he been forced to witness that.

On the ensuing drive the FPC defense held and The Dutchman would find Randelli and CComps on the way to hitting JoKer in the endzone for a 13-7 lead.

On the next drive State Property ran option left and then with a flip of the wrist the QB hit a WR on a reverse which caught everyone off guard. He beat Feaster, got outside of Mitts and began dancing all the way to the endzone - Leon Lett style. The crowd roared, State Property went nuts and The Bigguns went silent. The only thing still moving was CComps - who ran Leon down Don Beebe style on the 5 yard line. On first and goal JoKer picked up a sack. On 2nd Geo batted down a ball, and then the QB threw two incomplete passes to end the half.

FPC 13 - State Property 6.

In the second half, the FPC defense didn't bend and The Dutchman got into a rhythm. He was moving so smooth the State Property coach was heard saying "Damn, dog. You see dat? Dat's how I would make a play right there - just like DAT!" Unfortunately on 3rd and goal the Dutchman threw one up for grabs in the back of the end zone. Normally this is a decent play...when you're throwing to Feaster, Angry or Geo. Except it was 3rd down and a field goal was enough to put the game out of reach. And if you are going to throw it up for grabs, don't throw it to the guy you call Lil Mitts. Don't throw it up to one of the shortest guys on the team. Don't throw it up to a guy who you say has pig knuckles for fingers. Don't throw it up to a guy you call Sgt. Midget Digits. And even if you decide to anyway, DO NOT UNDERTHROW IT! Anyway, the ball was caught - just not by the little guy on Farley Printing.

State Property then drove down the field and was able to punch it in for the TD with no time on the clock. However, as it has all year the FPC defense came up big, keeping State Property from converting the two point play and saving Mitts from a sure beating. Somebody better recognize.

FPC plays Run n Gun next Saturday for the division title. FPC is 2-2 vs. Run n Gun.
