Anything You Can Do...

The eyes of Billy, with a warning glare, are turned towards Hoboken

On that sweltering August afternoon in Florence, while cousin Terry was generating the same amount of precipitation as Irma, the marriage officiant confidently declared to the Brown's & Zielinski's in attendance that this wedding would forever be referred to as, 'The Wedding That Was Better Than Your Wedding.' The immediate rustling and coughing that followed right after didn't come from a Tuscan badger nestling in the hillside, but instead, from the Best Man.

Billy has been on his brother's heels as of late. Yes, Andrew's wedding was great & Andrew won the Brown Jacket. But that feels like a generation ago. Billy's wedding was not only great but is fresh in our minds, and now, Billy's on pace to win the Brown Jacket. That new sound you hear is the fraternal rivalry ratcheting up. The Baby Seals do not like playing the role of understudy. They want to be the headliner, but it is the Left Wing Militants on the Marquee these days.

Despite being #1 in the Power Rankings and undefeated, Billy remains an underdog. There is too much history of losing in the colder months to be otherwise. But much like the Accademia's famous David, the underdog can defeat Goliath and conquer Jerusalem. To do so, Billy will need to stay on his brother's tail, while also paying attention to the rest of the powerful Medici family of the DelFL (13-5 this season).
