BUFFALO, NY – The Equis made it dos BSFL championships in a row to become the fourth back-to-back Tenderloin Bowl winner (Bashers 1997-98, Salmonbellies 2002-03, Chiggers 2004-05, Equis 2008-09). Dryden retained the cup thanks, in large part, to a pair of sure-handed receivers - DeSean Jackson and Andre Johnson. Jackson earned Tenderloin Bowl MVP honors by snatching tosses for 178 yards, including a scoreboard blinker, and also zig-zagged to the house on an incredible punt return. Johnson was almost as potent by palming a pair of post toasters among 193 yards to set a Tenderloin Bowl record for receiving. As if that wasn't enough, Ricky Williams packed the pig snout for 108 yards including a goal-line penetration. Dryden produced 788 yards of total offense compared to Big Horn's puny 495.

Good news for the Blowhards was all eleven players in their lineup scored. Bad news was they didn't score nearly enough and only three managed to find the endzone. Cedric Benson ran hard, bumping and grinding for 96 yards, but Big Horn's spread formation receivers only caught aerials for 211 yards. The Big Dawg defense kept the score from getting totally out of hand paced by Andre Carter's two takedowns.

MOOSE JAW, SASK. – The cream rose to the top - unfortunately a week late for the Sylvesters. Haglund dominated for a 856 to 628 yard advantage in total offense - but, it really wasn't even that close. Porterhouse MVP honors went to Chris Johnson who carried the casaba to the promised land three times - twice by land and once by catch - among 117 yards rushing (11 yards shy of setting an all-time BSFL season record) and 69 receiving. Running mate Ray Rice was darned near as productive with turd totes for 166 yards, including one to paydirt, and had grabs for 53. And, as usual, Drew Brees came through by hitting a trio of TD tosses among 296 yards. Mario Williams buried the passer twice and caused an upchuck to pace Poody Tat defenders.

It seemed that Seashrein only had three players suited-up. Brandon Marshall cradled celebration strikes twice among 200 yards, Jamaal Charles rambled for 143 yards including a house call, and Charles Woodson pilfered a pass to set a BSFL record for season defensive points scored at 44. With the outcome more or less determined, Kurt Warner back-pedaled, flipping a pair of flutterballs to the other guys among just 178 yards.

MULE SHOE, TX – Castlerock played steady as she goes, racking up 631 yards compared to 516 for Manhart. Nothing spectacular, but good enough as Vincent Jackson led the way with grabs for 120 yards and Tony Romo cranked out 249 yards passing, including a pair of toasters, to get the game MVP honor. Cortland Finnegan's pair of pick-offs put the kibash on the Marauders.

Manhart barely had a pulse while only managing one visit to the zone in any manner. Even kicker Neil Rackers was pathetic, and to make matters worse, the BSFL's second best defensive unit just stood at the trough and whistled without peeing a drop.

CHIHUAHUA, MEX. – Leading by three into Monday prime time, the Hardrockers still had Vernon Davis to count while the Chiggers countered with Adrian Wilson. Davis, who only caught tosses for 34 yards, managed to hang on to a trey. Wilson made an acrobatic pass pilfer, and could have taken it to the house, but stumbled and fell at the twelve, to return the margin to three. He had his hands on two other flying snouts, only to have them slip through his fingers, and he had his mitts on the quarterback twice, just a gnat's ass too late.

The Hardrockers built a slight advantage as Chuck Bowl MVP Thomas Jones lugged the loaf for 99 yards, including a pair that broke the invisible plane, and Donovan McNabb hit two to tango among 275 yards. Although LaDainian Tomlinson was held to 50 yards rushing, he managed an important goal-line buster.

Chatham won the yardage battle 649 to 499, but lost the scuffle for touchdowns, 2 to 6. Matt Schaub was impressive by flinging darts for 365 yards, including a pair of zone zingers, and Ryan Longwell booted a dozen points 'tween the tines to pace the Chiggers' attack. The dearth of visits to the house took its toll, though, to extend Chatham's streak of not winning a bowl game to four years since prevailing in the 2005 Tenderloin Bowl.

HUMPTULIPS, WA – After losing the first game of the Hamburger Series, 44-23, the Salmonbellies came back to post a 32-29 victory over the Bashers. Van Isle trailed by seven under Monday night lights with Frank Gore yet to count. Gore came through for Van Isle by packing the pigskin for 167 yards, including one over the goal-line, to gain Hamburger Bowl MVP honors. The Bellies gained 789 yards compared to 556 for the Bashers.

Van Isle was able to lurk within striking distance by amassing 355 receiving yards paced by Derrick Mason's 94, including a catch in the endzone, Wes Welker's grabs for 105, and Santonio Holmes's receptions for 93. Peyton Manning connected to the promised land four times among 220 yards, but hit a trio of wrong colored jerseys to make the Salmonbellies' comeback a bit more difficult.

The Bashers were bolstered by Adrian Peterson's pair of trots across the goal-line among 97 yards, as well as Jay Feely's 14 points over the crossbar. Philip Rivers launched tosses for 272 yards, but only completed one scoreboard blinker and threw an interception to put a crimp in Spaethcadet plans for a sweep in the series.
