JERRY BROWN vs. THE COLOR PURPLE
By Andy Bandit
 
You know how I knew the Lakers were blowing out the Celtics last night in Game 6 of the NBA Finals?  It wasn’t just because I heard prolonged screaming outside my window and nobody was calling the cops.  It was ‘cause all the Boston fans were out at [...]

“The Gauge”
 
Written by TheManWhoInventedSlamDancing – Your Venice Beach Correspondent
 
No matter how well or how poorly your team performed on week one of league play, there’s no way to tell where you truly stand. Week two is the first “gauge” week of the season… where two undefeated teams may begin to find just what they’re made [...]

“Summer League Opening Night 2010″
By TheManWhoInventedSlamDancing
The 2010 Summer League opened this past Monday on a perfectly crisp and cool Venice evening. This Co-Ed division battle pitted WhiteSnake against Red M & M’s.
Each team huddled for purposes of introductions and strategies, followed by brief end-zone drills. And then it was time for the opening pull of [...]

TUESDAY NIGHT IN SUMMER LEAGUE
Written by Andy Bandit.
Last night two titans took the field. Both played fiercely, and gave everything they had. It was really hard to tell which team was better. The spectators who came out to watch (apparently someone hyped this thing) knew they were seeing the smooth tasty cream of the Summer [...]

The night started out with an upbeat, optimistic Leland Waters captaining Silver Surfer while Mark Miller took a different approach for Blue Öyster Cult: circling up to do names. After a series of nice BOC plays highlighted by Biclops’ inches from the ground layout to save possession, [...]

Sarah and I made the trip to Balboa expecting to see a slugfest between two undefeated teams on one field and a blowout on the other. We got our slugfest and our blowout, but not on the fields we predicted.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN SUMMER LEAGUE
Written by Andy Bandit
The scores of both games last night were not close unfortunately, but as you know, sometimes the score does not tell the whole story.  I’ll explain below.  Wait for it.

It is SO appropriate that this is a 70’s league.  Because I’m borrowing the title of a 1977 film to [...]

Before I get to the recaps of the games I saw, in Venice last night Aqualung beat the Purple People Eaters 13-11 in the first Co-ed game to be shortened by lights.  And this one I’m told was more than the usual light-related issue as the lights [...]

WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN SUMMER LEAGUE
Written by Andy Bandit
Last night was a tough situation to spectate with both games really tight. At one point in the 2nd half, both games were tied with exactly the same score. Did I say tough situation? I meant AWESOME situation.

It was the best of disc. It was the [...]
