Ryan vs Michael

Michael defender, Micky Mourke, talked post game about this tough loss and the need for coaches sticking around and supporting their players. “And it’s happened once again. I’ll turn to a friend. Someone that understands – sees through the master plan. But everybody’s gone. And I’ve been here for too long to face this on my own. I guess this is growing up.”

LeScoot vs Bette

One of the top teams in the league facing a team seeking their first win on the year. What can go wrong? Losing like this is never easy. Said the Blue Tits special teams coach, Duke, “This sick strange darkness…. It comes creeping on so haunting every time.”

Miranda vs Kelly

Kelly officials said that the Martians are not ones they think about, that their match-ups stopped being fun, they just bring ’em down. Miranda officials countered that the future of their rivalry shouldn’t be destroyed by the past. The Zeroes countered with, “Don’t let our door hit your ass.”

A frustrated Corey defender, Carl Coral, seemingly calls it quits after this tough loss. “But what do I get? ‘Cause I just seem to lose. Games like this make me wish I was playing for the ‘Bous. And playing these games, with these terrible play calls…. Now I give up. So goodbye and so long.”

Travis vs Andrew

The Tichorrhines have been warning the NPL of the eventual rise of the Androids. They were sick with apprehension, crippled from exhaustion, and they dread the moment when Andrew finally comes to kill them.

With JMJJ sitting out with a case of the burps, it was Joey Boots that was given kicking duties here. Pregame, Joey said, “I dread the thought of our very first kick. A target that I’m probably gonna miss.” He was right.

Jennifer vs DaVena

Why does it feel the same: to fall on a fumble or break a big run off? And if this sport is just a game, the Jellyfish must have missed the kick-off. Don’t depend on them to ever follow through. But the Ballerinas, they’d go through hell for you.

Brent vs Jerry
Game of the Week

NPL Title Belt Match!

It’s PRIIIIIIIME TIIIIIIIME and we just can’t wait to see Brent and Jerry in their second date. Brent took the first match-up in Week 2, outlasting a solid performance from the J-o-L offense.

This time around we were scared that they both might stink. It makes us nervous so we really can’t eat. (Ooh, wings!) Let’s go! Don’t wait offenses! This game’s almost over!

Honest, these offenses suck so bad, this game will last forever. Forever and ever. This game will last forever. Forever. And ever. This game will last for ever.
