    The PMBL Pro-Man Power Rankings

    Taking  a More Professional Approach to the Power Rankings The Blum family have made a huge impact on the PMBL through the first three seasons.  They have made all-star teams, won the Kenny Kup, and provided us with all the safety equipment and sticky pads that we could ever dream of.  However, their greatest contribution may have came from the elder Blum earlier this week, via Twitter:     And there it was.  So simple, so elegant, and so obvious.  Greg Blum  handed me a foolproof column idea, a plan perfectly designed to please both your medulla and oblongata on this lovely Friday afternoon.  …

    Mans of Interest:   Casey Green, Guard Wrap City               Casey Green, the 13th overall pick in Season Three’s draft and now star guard for Captain Josh Brown‘s Wrap City team, somehow managed to fly under my radar for the entire tryout period right on up through the second week of the season.  This had to change.  Green, the de facto leader of Wrap City as they jockey for second place position with Elfant Wissahickon, Truth Hurts, Rags 2 Riches, and Kemp’s Offspring in the ever-competitive Iverson Division, has averaged 17 and 6 over WC’s first three games while…

              May 17th Recaps Game 1: Wrap City @ Elfant Wissahickon I was told minutes prior to tip-off that this was our official Game of the Week! After shaking off the mild confusion caused by teams with a combined record of 1-3 being picked for game of the week, I went in with an open mind and actually enjoyed this one. Elfant was seeking their first win of the season, while Wrap City was hoping ride the momentum from last week’s blowout over Rags to Riches. Elfant got off to a hot start thanks to the…

    All the happenings from a wild Wednesday in the @pmbleague universe.  As always, when you tag @pmbleague or @joshpmbl, you have a much better chance of becoming famous.  Onto the tweets! Everyone was so excited for him! It’s like when a baby learns to crawl… Is that the one where he hides inside the Rhinoceros #imthinkingofAceVentura Whatever, I hear your mom let’s you use the big kid cup at dinner.  What’s the difference? And he really laid one on…his younger brother. And now, that time of day when I present the Tweet of the Night.  This tweeter has been on…

Recaps of May 10, 2012

          Game 1: Emergency Response (1-0) vs. Rain Makers (1-1) Midway thru the first half, the interns tossed around the idea that the first team to 40 would walk away with a win (Pardon my accidental alliteration). Unfortunately, that turned out to be the case as both teams struggled to break 20 by halftime. ER had an excuse, as they were without leading scorer and first round pick Thomas Young for most of the first half, which allowed Rain Makers to jump out to a double digit lead despite Kyle Blacken putting up a doughnut on…

Power Rankings: Who’s in First

   Many Mans Vie for Top Spot Power Rankings make me feel like a famous person.  People are constantly stopping me on the street, in restaurants, and at the urinal, wondering how I so perfectly rank the teams each week.  How can one Tom, Dick or Josh really decide which team is fifth (BetaMale Ballers) and which is 9th (Grinders)?  How does he find the tiniest distinctions to seperate these teams that haven’t even (and won’t even) play against each other?  What inarguable, completely reliable, scientific formula does he use? The answer is that there is a lock tight, Coca-Cola,…
