LEAGUE MESSAGE BOARD
Wednesday night highlights from across the League
St.John nets first win of the season;Jets down Bellingham 23-21 in wild one
Clint Roberts and his St.John Jets (1-1) took a 23-7 lead into the fourth quarter,and would eventually hold onto to defeat the Bellingham (WA)Eagles (1-1) 23-21. The Jets used a balanced attack in the victory as they passed for 152 yards and ran for another 61.
The Bellingham offense was giving great field position throughout the night thanks to poor special teams play by the Jets. However,the Eagles commited two turnovers deep in St. John's territory in the 1st half which stalled both drives.
The Jets will face yet another Hawaii division opponent next when they take on the Eastside (HI)Seahawks (2-0). Bellingham will look to bounce back against Louisville (KY)Ravens (1-1).
Minnesota shuts out Chicago in Federal Division showdown
Minnesota's defense used a "bend but dont break" game plan to defeat the Chicago Chargers (1-1) 14-0 in Federal Division action. On the offensive side of the ball the Eagles used long sustained drives while racking up 280 total yards on the night.
The Chicago's lousy kicking game also played a role in the win for Minnesota as Ian Townsend missed two field goals while averaging just over 23 yards a punt.
The win kept Minnesota perfect on the season at 2-0.
Next week Chicago will stay in the Federal division when they take on the Lake County (IN)Steelers (1-1). Minnesota will play host to the Long Island Seahawks (0-2) in out of division action.
Mountain State gets in the win column;Titans defeat Lake County 21-7
Neil Solomon and his Mountain State Titans (1-1) picked up a key Federal Division win last night after defeating the Lake County Steelers (1-1) 21-7.
The Mountain State offense played well the whole night after racking up 279 total yards while accounting for 14 first downs to keep the chains moving.
The Titans opened up a 14-0 lead midway through the 3rd quarter and never looked back.
Mountain State will head out of the Federal next week to take on the undefeated Plano (TX)Broncos. Lake County will take on division rival Chicago (IL)Chargers (1-1).
Orlando off to 2-0 start;Hernando falls to 0-2 following 13-10 defeat
Dont look now but Jamiel Rich has his Orlando Cowboys sitting at 2-0 after defeating division rival Hernando Eagles (0-2) 13-10 last night in Florida division action.
Orlando headed into the 4th quarter leading 13-3,but Hernando came storming back and closed it within three with just over one minute to go. After a three and out by the Orlando offense,Hernando had a chance to actually win that game after driving the ball all the way down to the Cowboys 4-yard line with just six seconds remaining. However,an Orlando sack sealed the deal on the following play as time expired and the Boys stayed perfect on the season.
Next week the Orlando Cowboys will go for three in a a row when they take on the Chestermere Chiefs (1-1) from the Canada division. Hernando will still be looking for their first win of the season when they take on the Stigler (OK)Panthers in out of division action.
Palermo picks up key out of division win;Cards defeat Witchita 24-21
The Palermo Cardinals (2-0) have now won 16 of their last 18 regular season games dating back to last season after defeating the Witchita Cowboys (0-2) 24-21.
The Cardinals defense held the Witchita offense to just a 35% completion percentage while forcing two key turnovers in the 2nd quarter.
Palermo will look to keep things going next week when they take on Millennium division rival South Aukland (New Zealand) Raiders (0-2). Witchita will be looking for their first win of the season when they face Midwest division foe Clear Lake (IA)Falcons.
Three field goals lead Akron past Texas in 9-0 shutout win
Quintin Ross and his Akron Jags may have a case for the being the defense in the entire Broadband League following another impressive 9-0 shutout performance against the expansion Texas Colts (0-2).
Despite the Jags offense netting just 144 yards and completing less then 33% of their pass attempts,Akron's special teams and defense filled the void forcing two key turnovers and nailing three field goals. With the win,Akron now stands at 2-0 on the season.
The Jags defense has allowed just seven total points in two games.
Next week Arkon will face the Lansing (MI)Lions (1-1) in out of division play. The Texas Colts,who have scored just seven total points thus far will take on the highly explosive Boulder (CO)Saints in out of division action.
Nebraska moves to 2-0 on the year,and in the Mid-America;Bears defeat Oshkosh 14-7
It may not always look pretty,but Ted Delano and his Nebraska Bears continue to win. On Wednesday night the Bears pounded the ball 21 times for 118 yards as they controlled the ball for 11:18 en route to a 14-7 win over the Oshkosh Eagles in Mid-America division action.
With the win the Bears moved to 2-0 overall,and more importantly,2-0 within the Mid-America. The Eagles dropped to 1-1 with the loss.
Next week Nebraska will be looking to move to 3-0 within the Mid-America when they take on the Madison County (IL)Chiefs (1-1). Oshkosh will lock horns against the Royal Oak (MI)Ravens (1-1).
Dolton remains red hot;Undefeated Bears stick it to Brookline 24-14
When you ask Kenny Tinney who is the best player in the entire Broadband League,the Dolton Bears user has no problems claiming that title. And he may have a good argument!
The Dolton Bears (2-0) have now won nine of their last 10 games dating back to last season after starting their career out at 0-8. This coming after a 24-14 win over Chris O'Connor's Brookline Eagles (0-2) Wednesday night.
In a game filled with turnovers and shaky play calling at best,Dolton continued to throw points on the board as they jumped out to a 10-0 halftime lead. Heading into the 4th quarter up ten,17-7,Brookline did come storming back and actually set themselves to win,or at least tie the game in the final minute. But a poor decision led to a 56-yard interception return for Dolton. A few plays late the Bears added an insurance touchdown en route to the ten point win.
Next week Dolton will face the also undefeated Bayou (LA)Raiders in an out of division showdown. O'Connor and his Eagles will get a chance to exhale when they take on the Middletown (CT)Colts in a revenge game from 2006.
Tuesday Night action from around the Madden League
Middletown holds off Boston to remain perfect on the season
Despite going two consecutive weeks now without completing a single pass,Mike Hominik and his Middletown Ravens sit at 2-0 on the season following a 10-6 victory over Ellis Hobb's and his Boston Patriots (1-1).
Middletown pounded the ball thirty times for 109 total yards. The Middletown defense also kept the explosive Boston offense in check,allowing just 142 total yards on the night.
The Ravens secured the win late in the game by intercepting a Tom Brady pass in double coverage deep in their own end.
Middletown will look to move to 3-0 next week when they take on a familar foe in the Madison (CT)Chargers (1-1). Boston will look to get back on track when they take on division rival Bellingham (MA)Falcons (0-2).
Lehigh Valley bounces back with 21-3 win over Memphis
Coming off an embarrassing 35-0 week 1 loss to the Oshkosh Eagles,Sterling Jackson and his Lehigh Valley Panthers bounced back nicely to defeat the Memphis Raiders (0-2) 21-3.
The Panthers offense dominated the game,outgaing Memphis 296-212,with 188 of those yards coming through the air. Lehigh Valley would also win the turnover battle 3-0.
Lehigh Valley wont have to much time to celebrate as they prepare to take on the undefeated Pittsburgh (PA)Colts next week. Memphis will still be looking for their first win of the season when they take on Mid-States division rival Tennessee Jaguars (1-1).
Toronto upsets Charleswood 20-14 in Canadien Division action
Justin Tyler inked his first ever Broadband League win by pulling off an impressive 20-14 decision over the Charleswood Broncos (1-1).
The Redskins did not commit a single turnover on the night while their defense forced two in the win.
With the win Toronto moved to .500 on the season at 1-1. The Skins will be taking on the 2-0 Richfield (IL)Rams next week in out of division action. Charleswood will face off against the South Shore Packers (1-1),also in out of division play.
Labor Day 2008 Highlights from across the Madden League
Bayou Raiders move to 2-0 with 17-7 win over Louisville
Jason Berry and his Bayou Raiders moved to 2-0 overall with a 17-7 win over Southern States division rival Louisville Ravens (1-1).
In a game that was expected to be suspended to a later date because of Hurricane Gustav,Berry managed to get the game in at a friends house in Southern Alabama.
Montreal continues to suprise people;Titans move to 2-0 on the season
The Montreal Titans offense continued to play well as they racked up 233 total yards in a 21-13 out of division win over the Fairport Packers (1-1). Montreal got off to a 14-3 lead and never looked back as they stayed perfect on the year after coming off a 3-13 campaign in 2007.
Last Second Touchdown leads Wilmington past Poughkeepsie 17-13
Joe Kemp and his Wilmington Raiders (1-1) got their first win of the season following a 17-13 thriller over the Pougkeepsie Cardinals (1-1).
With Poughkeepsie leading 13-10 with just 1:37 left in the game,Kemp and his Raiders went on an 8-play 81-yard drive en route to scoring the game winning touchdown with just seven ticks left on the clock.
The Wilmington Offense netted 269 total yards for the contest.
Munford shocks Manchester 21-10 to remain perfect on the season
Ahman Cloke and his Munford Lions are off to a suprising 2-0 start following a 21-10 victory over the highly regarded Manchester Bears (0-2). Even more shocking is the fact that Manchester has already matched the amounted of losses they had in all of 2007 with two.
The Munford defense held the once feared Manchester running game to just 34 yards on on 15 carries (2.3 yards a carry).
Morgan County defense holds down Brockton in 14-3 win
In what was hyped as possibly the biggest out of division game of the week,Kevin Triphone and his Morgan County Broncos (2-0) held Tyler Grogan's Brockton Bucs (1-1) offense to just 73 total yards and three points in a 14-3 lopsided win.
Triphone and his Broncos got off to a 14-0 lead by the 2nd quarter and then set it on cruise control the rest of the way as they used a balanced offensive attack to keep Grogan and his Bucs off balance the whole night.
Morgan County will get yet another big out of division test next week when they take on the East Anchorage (AK)Eagles (1-1). Grogan and his Bucs will also play another out of division game when they take on the Bronx (NY)Bengals.
Orlando Panthers move to 2-0 in 21-6 win;Carolina goes 0 for 2 early vs. Orlando teams
Hakeem Smith and his Orlando Panthers are now 2-0 following an impressive 21-6 win over Jamal Mathis and his Carolina Eagles (0-2). Mathis,who lost to the other Orlando team (Cowboys) last week is now off to his worst start ever.
Orlando outgained Carolina 243-151 in the win.
Mile High defeats Twin City in 6-3 slugfest
Two Madden League players that have been historically known for their offenses over the years,played to a 6-3 final with the Mile High Broncos coming out on top. Pooler and his Broncos overcame a turnover on the Twin City 1-yard line early on to pull off the three point victory. Despite scoring just six total points,Mile High was an impressive 21 for 23 (91.3%) passing the ball with short accurate routes that accounted for 166 yards through the air.
Both teams now sit at .500 on the season at 1-1.
Business as usual for 2-0 Elsinore;Colts down Georgia 24-17
Ryan Lyons and his Elsinore Colts just continue to rack up wins in the Madden League,his last victim being the Georgia Titans (0-2).
The Elsinore compiled 278 total yards,with 201 of those coming through the air.
With the win Elsinore remains perfect on the season at 2-0 and will now host the Southern California Steelers (0-2) next week. Georgia who is in dire need of a win will face the red hot 2-0 Orlando Panthers next week.
Memphis Panthers shock the Madden Online world;Panthers defeat Daytona Beach 10-7
Damont Faulk and his Memphis Panthers may have pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the League's nine season history last night after defeating Jarvis Thomas Daytona Beach Viking's (1-1) 10-7 in a Southern Region showdown.
Faulk and his Panthers used a balance attack that accounted for just over 200 yards of total offense and more importantly just one turnover. Meanwhile,the Daytona Beach offense remained confused the entire night as Faulk used a wide variety of defensive looks against the one time Madden Cover boy.
With the win Memphis moves to 2-0 and will look to keep the good time going when they take on the Macon County (TX)Colts in a Mid-States showdown. Thomas and his Vikings will look to rebound against the Babylon (NY)Panthers in more out of division play.
Branford scores 17 unanswered in 4th and OT to earn 100th win 17-14
It did not come easy,.but Doug Young and his Branford Patriots (2-0) managed to put up 17 unanswered points in the 4th quarter (and overtime) to erase a 14-0 deficit en route to his 100th career win over the Baltimore Broncos (0-2).
In a very good game that was littered by controversal calls,Baltimore looked to be heading for a win after completing a 13-yard out pass on 4th and 1 in the overtime,but the call was later overturned as Branford would then set up shop at the Baltimore 43-yard line,and eventually a nail a 40-yard field goal seconds later in overtime to capture the victory.
With the win,Young (who has been a charter member since the league started in 2003) became the first player to hit the century mark in wins.
Next week Branford will face possibly their toughest test of the season when they take on fellow Connecticut division opponent Worcester (MA)Cowboys. Baltimore will look to net their first win of the season when they play host to the North Kingstown (RI)Jaguars.
