| Game Summary (Ralph Jones, NetFL Press) If Randy Moss's body of work exemplifies the high-point of your weekend, you know that you're on the losing end of a sordid, sick joke of a game. Words utterly fail to describe this romp into the realms of ineptitude. When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope. Standing here in the garish, filth-ridden stands of this now-empty stadium after the game, I got to thinking - such is truly the fate of both fans of the SC squad. In the end, this team is just hopeless.
And so now it stands that SRS leads the all-time series 18-9 against SC. SRS has a 12-0 regular season record (2-0 in this year's playoffs). SC has a 5-7 regular season record (0-1 in this year's playoffs). The latest (what I shall laughingly call a) contest saw SRS has feasted upon SC like a mink that suddenly finds that a family of mice has taken up residence in her den 67-0 in front of a jeering and hostile crowd.
Things went very well for the SRS squad on both sides of the ball last week as they racked up a combined 438 points, 219 on offense and 219 on defense. Ahman Green with 41 points on offense and Tommy Polley with 22 points on defense were the top scorers. Things were not all roses, however. Said Coach/GM Allen Cummings, "We have to get a lot better next week.. For one, David Thornton was as sharp as a sponge today. That procedure he had a couple weeks back... labotomy, I think Doc said - well, that thing has done wonders for his game. He just stands in there and takes it now - play after play after play. No more of this whining about being too hurt. Doc is brilliant, I say. As for those OST? They were utterly incompetent, gaining absolutely nothing over the course of the contest. Overall though, the Don't Euthanize After Disaster award - given to one blundering fool each week - was really difficult to decide on this go around. I promise the poor slob that I won't be taking away his livelihood. This week, the DEAD man in this game was Olindo Mare. His wretched effort yielded a seat alone on the ride home.
There's no love lost between these two clubs. Allen Cummings blathered, "Thinking about them forces me to draw parallels between them and the Bulgarians." He was quick to add, "Erm, the Byzantine Empire had to deal with those clods... made themselves quite a nuisance 'til Basil crushed 'em and cut their eyes out - well, he left a couple of 'em with one eye so's they could guide the others home. I can't help but think that motivations such as that would help their cause." In response, the SC coach considered this when he said, "Sheesh... just mentioning their scaly hides makes me feel very unclean. They're wretched, infantile little sewer rats and I don't want to get dragged into a discussion about them. Any other questions? I need to bathe." |
