And the Winner is...

Greazy! The other day XL made mention of the epic clash that was taking place this weekend. And so it was that the team from the Eastern Shore met the team from Central Pennsylvania on the cybergridiron. It was XL's Delmarva Chicken Heads lead by Peyton Manning and Greazy's The Home Depot Presents Your Mom lead by a scrappy young lineup of burgeoning stars.

Some of the Chicken Heads best players didn't give XL their best this weekend, as Manning put up 16 points, Larry Johnson tallied 8 and Chad Ocho Cinco posted only two points. XL's team limped to an anemic 73 points which won't be enough to stand up to the 92+ Your Mom racked up.

Through some very crafty drafting last year, Greazy had Michael Turner as a keeper this year, and was rewarded with a 34 point haul in week one. Reggie Bush got the call at RB2 ahead of youngsters Kevin Smith (13 points) and Darren McFadden (yet to play) and Bush was equal to his coach's expectations with a 22 point night. Dallas Clark's injury lead to a big fat 0, and the choice of the Arizona D wasn't the best as they only posted a 13 point night. Also Santana Moss and Larry Fitzgerald each only had 9 points with Brandon Marshall and Kevin Curtis both out, but with the running backs bringing the big lumber it wasn't a liability. Now it is just incumbent on young QB Jay Cutler to have a 20 point night to make Your Mom the number one team in the points race at 112 points from the weekend.

This was the 10th installment of the grudge match between XL and Greazy, and with Home Depot's win the series is all tied at 5-5. Greazy is the proud owner of a championship Pipe, while XL is a perennial playoff contender. They are both also very large men.

I don't think there are words to describe how large we truly are. One would have to see us together to truly appreciate it.

We are in fact so large that the picture taken on the linked post was zoomed out as far as it would go and we both still couldn't fit in the frame!!
