Boxscore
| Game Summary (Ralph Jones, NetFL Press) Joey Galloway considered this when he said, "To say that we stunk would be unfair to skunks and unwashed monks, man. We were awful today! Do you see us getting any better in time for the next game, 'cause I sure don't. The guys played with no fire, the coaching was flat, and the playcalling was atrocious. Our execution? Yeah, I'm for it." Well no kidding, Einstein. TH was bad. Awful. Grotesque. An embarrassment to the league, I dare say. I love football. The stale smell of rancid beer, the sweaty crowd of rabid fans, the cross-eyed and homely cheerleaders trying to incite us to collective ear-drum rupturing noise, the reverberating sound of vicious collisions, the poetic beauty of a laser-guided bullet pass crashing into the receiver's outstretched hands - yes, this is what I live for. This is what I saw today. Kudos to TSI for pulling out a sharpened stick, bludgeoning them and definitively putting on the superior show, but overall, it was quite a frenetic, enjoyable game. So now the series stands TSI leads the all-time series 16-2-1 against TH. TSI has a 8-4 regular season record (3-1 in this year's playoffs). TH has a 2-10 regular season record. The latest (what I shall laughingly call a) contest saw TSI has decaffeinated TH like a mink that suddenly finds that a family of mice has taken up residence in her den 41-31 in front of a despondent home crowd. They looked unstoppable on the TSI squad particularly on the offensive side of the ball last week as they racked up a combined 288 points, 197 on offense and 91 on defense. Donovan McNabb with 46 points on offense and Napoleon Harris with 13 points on defense were the top scorers. All that aside, the most incompetant player of the game goes to Kerry Collins. Some players need a bit more instruction than others. I've tried a few less orthodox teaching tools from time to time..." Says Kerry Collins, sporting a nice lace evening gown, "Ya, coach says I played like a little girl so I might as well dress the part. I hafta practice in this thing. He calls me the fairy princess. Man, I'm callin my agent. This ain't parta the deal." Marcus Pollard added, "Shoot... he should know he can't fit in no D-cup! I tell ya, he looked like some sort of demented, bloated Valkyrie... Man... brings new meaning to the phrase 'when the fat lady sings.' " "Dem's fightin' woids!": Fuel was added to the fire during the two teams' post game news conferences. Shane Rixom shot, "Gosh... why are you even wasting my time looking for a comment about them? They're kinda like cockroaches - to be sure, they occasionally crawl out of the woodwork to be seen by all, but usually, they're lurking somewhere out of sight." In response, the TH coach considered this when he said, "Well, there's murderers, rapists, boy bands, and then there's that owner of theirs... Which is worst? Hard to tell sometimes." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
