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. AW is quite the wanting team, wholly outclassed in all aspects of the game by RNR. OK, so not everyone who wears the uniform should be allowed to suit up. Such is most certainly the case for Brandon Lloyd, the greatest goat this side of the fairytale land of satyrs, unicorns, pixies, and winning AW seasons. This journalist found himself maintaining sanity amidst the botched stumbling of Drew Brees and his sidekicks by drinking heavily and choking down moldy peanuts. Now, to AW's credit, they willingly subjected themselves to this game, knowing full well how it was likely to turn out, but I place a great deal of blame on RNR for opting for this game over a likely more challenging foray against the Vienna Boy's Choir. Drew Brees groaned, "They came at us with some tough schemes, but we were able to put a few decent plays together. I think we can move the ball against anyone, stop anyone and we just didn't execute today." Brandon Lloyd whined, "I told the guys that they were going to make a mistake somewhere and when they did it, I pulled up with a 'sore ankle' if ya catch my drift. No sense me gettin' blasted. When we're playing at our best, those mistakes don't happen and tonight definitely wasn't our night." RNR has beaten AW as though they were palace eunuchs in a wrestling match, stomping their dead, bloated corpses by the tune of 74-36 in front of a jeering and hostile crowd. RNR trails the all-time series 10-14 against AW. RNR has a 4-7 regular season record. AW has a 7-4 regular season record. They looked unstoppable on the RNR squad particularly on the offensive side of the ball last week as they racked up a combined 316 points, 200 on offense and 116 on defense. Jonas Gray with 48 points on offense and DeMarcus Ware with 18 points on defense were the top scorers. However, they were far from perfect. Said Coach/GM Randy, "There were some mental breakdowns on both sides of the ball.. For one, Steve Weatherford was clearly showing some ill-effects from his intestinal parasite. Medically speaking, his body should be donated to science, there's so much wrong with him. At least, that's gotta be the case given the number of plays he likes to take off . As for those DST? They showed their ineptitude by amassing 1 Punt returns defended, 7 Defended punt return yardage, 7 Defended punt return average, 4 Defended kickoff returns, 86 Defended kickoff return yardage, 21.5 Defended kickoff return average throughout the course of their pitiful performance. Overall though, the team goat in this game was Jason Campbell. There's no love lost between these two clubs. Randy waxed poetic, stating, "Let's see... something nice to say? Well, they're not the most repugnant team out there, but that's kinda like saying that Shockey isn't as annoying as that Owens clown." In response, the AW coach gurgled, "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." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
