2019 [DFO] Banner Tournament: First Round, Day 12

Day 12 of the first round? What is this, Christmas?

Yes, clearly Blax is better than this than I am, since he made the banner and thus that banner will be available for the 2020 tournament (and he is assured of at least one entry), assuming the ratings get us renewed. Speaking of, BattleBots has officially been renewed on Discovery and Science, so even though the tournament was official and some pillock (me) made the obligatory first “LA MACHINE CONFIRMED” joke when they used the pioneering middle/heavyweight as a template for the confirmed robots as they’ll get shown (and hey, they liked the joke), we know what station it’ll be on and the BattleBots Beat will return! (Also, as a bookkeeping note, after this tournament will come a slightly delayed Bugglebots Beat, and a quick dip into the House of Pain backlog before the 2019 Expo later in April, if you’re that interested in what I have to write, and if you are, then when did Senorita Weaselo find this website? I don’t think I ever sent her anything.)

So now we’re up to the BOLTMAN Region, the fourth and final region in the bracket, with the first two matchups in the quadrant.

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment. Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

Six first-round matchups left. We’ve almost survived the first round, the seemingly endless slog! So go vote! You know you want to!

Senor Weaselo
Senor Weaselo plays the violin. He tucks it right under his chin. When he isn't doing that, he enjoys watching his teams (Yankees, Jets, Knicks, and Rangers), trying to ingest enough capsaicin to make himself breathe fire (it hasn't happened yet), and scheming to acquire the Bryant Park zamboni.

I like the Raptors quote, but, the Raptors always get their shit pushed in by the Cavs in the playoffs

I think the (9) may go deep if it can avoid some matchup nightmares.

It’s good, but it may not survive the first round

That sounds like a marketing tagline for Tinder.

So I’m looking at Derek Carr’s cap numbers and it’s only a dead cap of $5 million if they cut him next year. All of a sudden the prospect of drafting Kyler Murray doesn’t seem so far-fetched after all.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Because it’s presenting lots of funny jokes?

Because it’s a hothead and slave-driver?

Because it appeared in a Ratt video?

nomonkeyfun

Because it likes to wear a dress?

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
