What?! Happened?


Sunday was a tough day for the team. Not just because the team lost, or that they lost a very close game, or that they could and should have won, but because theye lost to Team With One Major Douchebag an opponent so early in the season.

In a game decided by extra points, What?!'s ineptitude in converting those doomed them. That, as well as the slumping defense giving up 6 touchdowns. And while the offense put up tons of points and seemed to remedy its drop issues for the most part, inopportune turnovers and 1 big drop in the end-zone still hurt. Failure can also be partly attributed to the lack of adjustments made from the coach, who was too busy trying to bundle up and stay unsick warm instead of paying attention to the game (failed in that regard too as he had to call out of work the next day).

But for those for played, the biggest sticking point in their memory was that of the big douchebag on the other team who tried to perfect his failed sportsmanship by refusing to get the ball and bring it back to the the line of scrimmage. It was even more awkward for his teammates since they didn't know what to do with him yelling at them not to do so either. Clearly someone who fails at life sportsmanship and has no knowledge of the delay of game penalty.

"The only reason I signed on to play was to beat ginger douches like this guy. It's very disappointing to let him get away for a week feeling happy, after winning a meaningless Zog football game," said Lance in a post game interview. "It's a shame, and a travesty of the game for this to happen. If we square off again, they best be ready for some payback," added Bekim.

Eric A also had this to add about the game, "A very interesting stat to note, we've never won a game without a completion to me." A "random observation" of course.

PLAY OF THE GAME: Lance's diving/flying/in the air TD grab.
PLAYER OF THE GAME: Brad, for his offense/defense performance (even though he would have gotten a bunch more catches/TD's if he got the ball all the times he ran free on the right sideline)


P.S. hiring someone to do recaps and on-field stats on a temporary basis for the next 4 weeks. Must be able to count from 1 to 70, forwards and backwards. Pay compromises of peanuts, chance to make fun of team/opponents in public space known as the internet, and promise of eternal fame. Interested parties should let me know.
