    Ooh, I never get to be first. Um, um…..

    P1 – Aliens!

    P2 – Ass grab! Save it for the showers!

    P3 – Those 3 are begging to be run over.

    Dammit, I choked. Back to commenting in the middle of the day.

    Heartsie for the effort.I don’t think it’s aliens, the more logical explanation is that somebody in Millard West has developed a giant radioactive Swiffer mop – imagine how shiny you could get the floors with that @Mopman!P3 – Another subtle dig by Uncle Downer.

    Looks like one of those toy footballs. Either that or the quarterback (who is he, anyway?) has giant hands. The scrappy starter is No. 11, I thought.

    Apparently the artist does not know that in Football the HOME team (Millard West in this case) wears the dark jerseys, the visitors (Mudlarks) wear white.

    Gary is pissed off because he came from Hollywood to produce the new HBO football series ‘Hard Knocks/ Hard Larks: A Legend Up Close.’ Gil’s astute lawyers demanded no references to “physical hygiene” during taping, and caved to Gil’s demand that bearwuk82 reference at least 1 former strip characters each day. The producers said that could take us back to the 70’s with football lasting until Christmas. The opening shots must always show Gil’s STATE CHAMPION trophies. Gary is really mad because some damn janitor(!) is holding up production, screaming about his agent(!) had worked out a deal for a reality show of his own, with spectacular shower footage. Claiming he’s an ‘almost trending’ blogger or something. Gary thought he left the egos behind in California. I hope it gets worked out before Moon realizes they turned his mic off.

    First loss, eh. Still undefeated in The Valley, so that 2nd place finish is still in reach. Next home game, Ric serenades the crowd at halftime with ‘Harvest Moon.’ Marty uncontrollably sobs in his Tinderbox.

    Nice to see that Mallard and Milford players can work together in P2 to avoid alien abductions. Another shout out to K-Tel for product placement in the same panel as well.

    P-4: Gil files a protest claiming MW had to be stealing his signals. How else do you explain them being ready for Milford to use a passing game to catch up on a 17 point deficit?

    I think it’s because of the dark sky around it but at first glance in panel one that looks like an LA Ram’s helmet. I started to say on ‘old’ Ram’s helmet but I think they’ve gone back to that blue and white since this return to LA.

    P3- Rick brings his Cobalt tool box along to ensure the post-game showers are in tip-top condition. Uncle Gary goes for a cheap feel.

    Mom wearing shorts and a t-shirt to a mid-October night game. Must be unseasonably warm in Milford this fall.

    Clearly someone on the inside (I wonder who) revealed Gil’s secret game plan to Millard West. What other reason could there be for this humiliating defeat?

    “And Millard West is ready.” Good grief, I could be ready for LeBron James to dunk on me, but there isn’t much I could do about it.

    “Thanks for coming out to support us, Uncle Douche Bag. But it might’ve been worse had Coach not given us that rousing pregame speech!”
