Keepin' Up with ClownDown - 2009 Edition

A Blog from The Wingmen

10/1/09

I can't help but notice the wide variety of teams that are signed up.  I've taken the time to do a little bit of handicapping to assist in any side-bets out there.

Contenders

Cosmopolitan Warriors (They have a Jersey element.)

Wingmen (Yankees mystique!)

Dysfunctional Dudes (The only repeat victors to date.)

More Cowbell (They can run fast, and they're holding a grudge.)

Pretenders

Freakn' Geekers (No, your name doesn't entitle you)

East Weds West (Lack of lending discrimination is what got us into the housing bubble.)

PPFS  (Last year they "acted" like out-of-towners and lulled everyone to sleep.  Not going to work again!)

Thanks for your money

2 Clowns 1 Cup don't think they have a chance. 

P-Floyd ("We're not," they say.)

Camelot Cuddlers and the Deathly Hallows (They "won't" win.)

Team Bodini Strikes Back (There is no next year.)

Should be disqualified

DLDF '09 (This team answers the question with a question.)

Curb Your Expectations (No, everybody is NOT a winner.  Commies!)
