The teams were dramatically unbalanced overall.
I also expected the Junkies have some bigger players and they did (but not by much). What I really found amazing is that the Junkies out executed the Divas. A team that was thrown together and practiced for a month was able to out execute a team that had been together for a few years. I thought the Divas would run ciricles around a bunch of guys that either never played football or had not played in years and that didnt happpen. Also if memory serves, the Divas challenged the Junkies.

I guess what I'm saying is that if the best woman's team gets crushed by a team of old, out-of-shape, non-football playing guys than it does not say much for how good they are. I can only imagine what a decent high school team would do to the Divas.
