Valentine’s Day celebrates St Valentine, a human martyr that believed in Life and Love.  Blood Bowl is a celebration of grit and determination in the face of overwhelming odds.  It is the modern gladiatorial arena for the release of the primal rage of the masses and an acceptable outlet for the testoterone that was once so important to the neandrothal heratige from which we were born.  Whenever so much unbridaled passion is released by a large number of fans on either side of an idiological divide there is sure to be conflict.  One such conflict between two fans, resulted in a massive brawl before the start of one such Blood Bowl match on the eve of this year’s Valentines Day Celebration at the Field House.  While most of the world was celebrating love and harmony, preparing to eat chocolates and buying last minute gifts for their loved ones, thousands of fans for both the Oath Breakers and the Shooting Starbucks were expressing their passion in a quite different way.

Unnecessary heckling and name calling was a factor throughout the event and almost caused a second riot to explode when fans began throwing seat cushions onto the field near the end of half-time.  The comfortable and quite fashionable cushions were given out to the first 25K fans as a promotional event sponsored by Dick Buttkiss Sporting Goods.  Unfortunately petroleum prices have caused the use of petroleum based foam to skyrocket in recent months and these cushions were little more than leather covered stones contoured to the average shape of the derrier.  Although no injuries were reported, members of both teams were knocked down by these posterior shaped projectiles before the field was cleared and play could resume. 

Members of the new Oath Breaker cheering squad “The Undertakers Revolution” which was hired straight out of a local tavern last week to help promote the club may have helped further incited the crowd as they danced and cheered throughout the game.  Although no more of the cheeky frisbee’s were thrown, verbal projectiles continued to assail the self esteem of the Starbucks throughout the second half and may have further played a role in the final outcome of the game.  Starbucks blitzer Hop Rodgers thinks so, “What they were saying, the fans, just wasn’t right man.  My teammates and I come out here and try our best every game and we shouldn’t have to put up with all that.  Yeah it can be distracting and really get in your head when you hear it night after night.”

League officials will surly be reviewing the events that led to this riot.  Rumor has it that fans on both sides were name-calling during the pre-game taligating parties and taunting one another.  Psycologists and many hairdressors agree and have often noted the connection between self-esteem and success.  One wonders when the league will finally respond and enact new stricter rules to cutail these types of displays of team pride which have been showing up more frequently of late which are sure to denegrate the self esteem of the opposing team and their fans.

Mummies are definitely going to take some getting used to.  There’s just no avoiding all of those heavy hitters even at movement 3.  This is a tough team to beat.  Another tough break for the tie here as once again the game result was changed in the 8th turn of the second half but that seems to happen to the starbucks.  Picked up another skill on a catcher and those boys are getting pricey.  Fan Factor stays and team value doesn’t change too much plus added some to the treasury.  Overall goes to 4-2-2 with 3 games yet to play.  Would love another win before the bowl begins.
