Week 8 Preview

GAME OF THE WEEK
Corlears Hookers (4-1-0-1) vs. Fresh Kills (2-4)
Location: Tompkins East, 6:30 PM
All-Time Series: Corlears Hookers lead 2-1
Game Notes: For the first time since the 2008 BTSH championship game, these two Rubens Division rivals will square off in Sunday’s prime-time matchup. The Corlears Hookers have performed as expected this season, as they have continued to dominate most of their opponents. However, they have been plagued by low attendance nearly every week, which has been a contributing factor in their two losses. Fresh Kills’ season has been a bit of a disappointment thus far. After splitting their first two games on the road, they returned home to raise their championship banner and gain a much needed win against the Tuques. Since that day, however, they have lost three games in a row and sit at 13th in the standings. Although Fresh Kills is the clear underdog here, they have thrived when counted out in the past, as they were in a similar position entering last year’s championship game.
Keys To The Game:
1. Corlears Hookers forward Jason Eitel is tied for the league lead with nine goals. He was not present for the 2008 championship game and is planning to make amends for that.
2. Fresh Kills defender turned forward Bob “Olmec” Weyersberg now has two goals on the season and won’t shut up about it. He boasts, “No one can stop me. I have the most accurate outside shot in the league and my presence near the crease cannot be matched.”
3. In order to combat his team’s pereceived negative image, Corlears Hookers captain Peter “Purple Rain” Putka has introduced a series of promotional days throughout the season. This Sunday, the first 20 fans under the age of 12 will receieve a free Albert “Al” Huang Trapper Keeper, which will hopefully showcase the Hookers’ commitment to education.
Eli’s Pick: Corlears Hookers. A big game is expected out of Huang on his promotional day…that is, if he’s allowed off the bench.
Derek’s Pick: Corlears Hookers. Revenge will only be temporarily sweet as Fresh Kills still holds the more important win.

$howT!m3 Almost Switches Teams Mid-Game
Hector “$howT!m3” Melendez was seen considering switching teams midway through the Rehabs’ loss to Filthy Gorgeous last Sunday.
In a press conference immediately following the game $howT!m3 adamantly denied the accusations.
“That is utter nonsense. I’m a Rehab and will stay a Rehab for life. Yes, I tried on a Filthy Gorgeous jersey during the first half, but that was only to see if it fit.”
Teammate “Con” Ed Lau was not surprised. “It’s his thing,” Lau stated. “The guy entered the league when? When it began, right? He’s played for every team since then, and some teams that don’t even exist. At some point last week I’m pretty sure he ran over to Corlears and played five minutes for the Happy Little Elves during our game.”
Rehabs captain Bryan “Stork” Welch was incensed over the accusations. He was seen glaring at reporters muttering, “You never leave the Rehabs. You’re a Rehab forever.”
After Bryan’s comment, $howT!m3 tried on a Denim Demons shirt.
