Boxscore
| Game Summary (Earl Schmidt, NetFL Press) I get paid very well doing something I usually enjoy. There are, however, occasional games that I only report on under silent protest. Let me begin by being brutally honest. LLL is quite the incompetent team, wholly outclassed in all aspects of the game by TB. "You want fries with that?" Yep, we'll be hearing that from Mat McBriar in the near-future after this week's performance. After a time, I began to play a game, counting the seconds between mistakes, waiting with giddy excitement while seeing that head coach of theirs as enraged as an elementary school janitor fresh out of Vomit-be-Gone. Carson Palmer shot, "We know it's going to be a hard-fought game when we play these clowns - tough, physical... It's important to win the physical football games because you put so much into it. We didn't do that today. Every time I looked up, I heard the crowd and I figured it was another turnover. It's tough to lose when you've worked all week. Mentally, you have to let it go." Mat McBriar droned, "I'm very disappointed in myself, the way I played as one of the 60 leaders on this football team. It starts with me watching someone get the ball into the hands of the right guy and watch him making the plays... cheering on the others making the tackles... I did that. That falls on me. We're not going to win football games if they don't do their part." TB has senselessly deluged LLL as though they were an all you can eat buffet residing next to a weight-watcher's clinic, topping them by the tune of 42-32 in front of a jeering and hostile crowd. TB leads the all-time series 2-1 against LLL. TB has a 7-5 regular season record (1-0 in this year's playoffs). LLL has a 5-7 regular season record (1-0 in this year's playoffs). Things went very well for the TB squad particularly on the offensive side of the ball last week as they racked up a combined 279 points, 181 on offense and 98 on defense. Peyton Manning with 55 points on offense and Jonathan Vilma with 15 points on defense were the top scorers. However, they were far from perfect. Said Coach/GM Tim Marshall, "I took exception to our execution on a few plays.. For one, Jonathan Vilma was clearly showing some ill-effects from his intestinal parasite. Doc says that if he spent a little more time working off the flubber in his midsection than 'clubbing' and getting fat on the buck-a-bucket combo at the KFC, well, his medical list wouldn't read like a copy of 'War and Peace'. Back in my day, 'clubbing' was something untoward that you did to baby seals . As for those OST? They were utterly incompetent, gaining absolutely nothing throughout the course of their pitiful performance. Overall though, the the most incompetant player in this game was Willie Parker. Though the game was already decided on the field, apparently neither team was done. Tim Marshall said, "Oh, they're harmless... a bit annoying too, I guess... Kinda remind me of Barney or Big Bird..." In response, the LLL coach quipped, "Well, there's murderers, rapists, boy bands, and then there's that owner of theirs... Which is worst? Hard to tell sometimes." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
