Hookers captain Peter &#8220;Purple Rain&#8221; Putka has been busy on the phone all week ensuring\u00a0he\u00a0will have more than one sub for\u00a0Sunday&#8217;s game.\u00a0 However, reports indicate that Putka has &#8220;misplaced&#8221; the contact information for Albert &#8220;Al&#8221; Huang.<br \/>\n2. Although the Denim Demons struggled against the Elves last week, they were also missing top talent Micael Holmstr\u00f6m.\u00a0 His expected return this week should strengthen an already stingy defense.<br \/>\n3. Demons player Zack Tinkelman has made it extremely clear that he&#8217;s planning to cheap shot any Hooker who scores a goal.\u00a0 Why else would he reference <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Xte-Vtxg-m8\" target=\"_blank\">this<\/a> in an earlier comment?<br \/>\n<strong>Eli&#8217;s Pick:<\/strong> Denim Demons.\u00a0 Adam &#8220;Legend Killer&#8221; Rubens must have a few tricks up his sleeve.<br \/>\n<strong>Derek&#8217;s Pick:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers.\u00a0 If they all show up, there is just too much raw talent to overcome.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mega Touch (0-1) vs. Filthy Gorgeous (1-0)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Location:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 1:00 PM<br \/>\n<strong>All-Time Series:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous leads 3-1<br \/>\n<strong>Game Notes:<\/strong> After an entire offseason of working to rebrand its image, Mega Touch looked extremely Bad Touch-like in its season opener.\u00a0 Things will not get any easier as\u00a0Eric Devlin&#8217;s squad\u00a0faces a Filthy Gorgeous team that won its opener by five goals.<br \/>\n<strong>Eli&#8217;s Pick:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous<br \/>\n<strong>Derek&#8217;s Pick:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous.\u00a0 This seems to be a consensus\u00a0pick in the Survivor Pool as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LBS, Inc.
