NPL Title Belt Match!

“Fran Ryanton goes back to pass. He pumps! Now he fires over the middle! Intercepted. I can’t believe what I’m seeing right now. It was intercepted by Tracey Stubber. Near side to the the forty and Jon Ryanson runs him down at the 47 yard line. You gotta be kidding me. I can’t believe what I just saw.”

“Why do you even ponder passing? I mean, you can take a knee! And try a 56 yard field goal! This is not the Rock Lobsters, man, this is the Title Belt!”

“Rock Lobsters special teams unit comes out for kickoff coverage with our friend, the pigeon. And he’s lining up! Is he L2 or L3?”

He’s bare chested and banging his chest, now he runs the opposite way! The guy is drunk! But there he goes! The twenty! They’re chasing him! They’re not going to get him! Somebody stop that man! Oh… that was the most exciting thing to happen tonight.”

“Here comes the rush. He sidesteps. Can he throw!? He can’t! The ball flips forward as well – it’s a wild scramble! Two seconds on the clock! Dash McVena grabbing the ball – it is ruled a fumble, McVena has recovered in the end zone! The Ballerinas have scored on the most zany, unbelievable, absolutely impossible dream of a play! The coach is on the field, he wants to know if it’s real! They said ‘Yes, get your big butt out of here!’ He does!”
