Last week we predicted our beloved TastyBooze sponsored flag-football team, Lofa Ta-Two-Peat (LTTP), would mop the floor with their opponents this weekend. However, the winless Sweep the Leg were able to tap their inner Karate Kid and stay in the game until the very end. Wax on… wax off.

Two first half interceptions put LTTP in the hole against Sweep the Leg, as their inept offense from weeks prior seemed to hitting on all cylinders - taking advantage of the turnovers for a two-score lead at halftime. LTTP channeled their name sake (Seattle Seahawks’ Linebacker Lofa Tatupu, for those of you living under a rock) to step it up on the defensive side of the ball for the second half. A first position turnover, followed by a quick LTTP score brought the team within striking distance. Sweep the Leg put together a determined drive down the field, only to be stonewalled by LTTP’s stifling defense, which was also aided by a couple ill-timed offensive penalties.

LTTP had the momentum and would soon have the lead. After trading quick scoring drives again, with LTTP scoring with just under a minute to play to take a six point lead, the defense was called on again to come up with a big stop. Sweep the Leg was as determined as Daniel-san against the Cobra Kai, as they marched down the field, but again had their problems in the red zone. On 4th and Goal, with 7 seconds to play, Sweep the Leg was hit with a Crane Kick to the stomach as LTTP preserved the victory with an interception in the end zone. Final score: 35 - 29. LTTP’s quarterback shook off a rough start to take home player of the game honors - throwing for three touchdowns, running for two and nabbing the interception to seal the game (that’s at least 25 fantasy points for those of you scoring at home).

LTTP will square off against second-place Multiple Scoregasm this weekend. A win will secure LTTP’s seat atop the standings and a first-round bye in the playoffs. LTTP will again play loose on the defensive side of the ball to prevent any scoregasms.
