"I think I’ve heard the same questioning and logic from every sports caster since the end of Season 2.  ‘Too young’, ‘Not enough hitting power’, ‘Weak strength’, ‘Weak throwing game’, blah, blah, blah.... "The bottom line is The Storm of Mjolnir are a fantastic team that are defenitly worth the acclaim they have been getting lately.  Just look at their performance in the Spike! Magazine Tournament.  I think that tells their story perfectly.  As for the Mean Machine, I guess our General Manager had another idea in mind when he sent us up to the Premier League.  All I can say is that maybe the match ups for the Machine and the Storm are best the way they have been layed out. "As for the Machine, we have a ton of new ‘recruits’ from the new prison systems that have signed on for our farm system, and we already have a few promising recruits that we are just waiting for the right time to bring them up to the big leagues. "Well Coach, what about your upcoming game with Roadkill?  They are a much more seasoned opponent and have a lot of weapons in their arsonal that many critics would say the Machine has no answer for. "No response." "Come on Coach, your in the big leagues now, you gotta let your fans out there know you have something up your sleeve. "Fine.  Roadkill does have many edges up on us.  We are not as fast.  We can’t score at will.  And we can’t capitalize on backfield mistakes as good as they can.  But we are humans.  We look to the team, not the individual.  Everyone plays their part, everyone pulls their weight, and in the end we hope for the best.  We’re out here to have some fun, breath some fresh air outside the ‘friendly’ confines of the Folsom County Pen, and maybe win a few games along the way. "Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a bunch of convicts to motivate before their first game in the Premier League.

Playing last year’s invitational champion?  Scratching his head, the coach started asking himself why this sophmore team was in a rookie tournament, and why did Nuffle stick the badly broken Mean Machine to square off against them?  Well, they say Nuffle moves in mysterious ways.  Maybe this was an example. To offset the mismatch, the Head Coach decided to put a wizard on the payroll, and he made sure that Turley didn’t know about it this time.  Then looking down his broken roster, and then over at his worn out apothecary, the Head Coach decided to hire another bone doctor for the match. As they walked out onto the pitch, the players of the Mean Machine looked downfield and could only see a brown cloud with flies buzzing around and the smell of rotting flesh.  Setting up into receiving positions for the kick off, team captian Samson yelled out to his teammates, "Try and stay away from what ever is making that cloud fellas, its bound to rub off..." The Mean Machine heeded the words of their team captian, and blocked and dodged their way downfield to minimize contact with the infested chaos worhsipping sophmore team.  As the drive was moving downfield, one of the Nurgle followers found Paul Crew in the cloud of crap and hit him hard, promptly knocking him out. With Crew on the bench with smelling salts, veteran QB Nate Scarborough grabbed the ball and anxiously let rip a Hail Mary Pass downfield to Mr. Cruz.  With a wide open corridor for the inevitable bounce, the fans of the Mean Machine stood to their feet and started cheering.  Unfortunately for the Mean Machine, the fans got a little carried away with manuever, and as the ball scattered into the stands, one of the fans wanted to show off his arm and tossed the ball straight into the open corridor set up by the blitzers, but with the adrenelin pumping muscled it halfway down the pitch landing by the Nurgle scrum at center field.  The Mean Machine fans went silent as they watched in horror as their team struggle the rest of the drive to get the ball back and stop Dengue Fever from scoring.  As the Fever finally drove the ball into the endzone, the crowd camra panned over to the section where the fan who threw the ball in sat, and captured the entire section going in crazed hysteria, throwing punches and eventually crowd surfing the wanna-be fan-QB up and over the top of the stands, plummeting to his death by the rat on a stick stand down below. As the teams were setting back up for the half, the section continued their madness, and stormed the pitch!  The entire second half the Mean Machine was on hard core defence, trying like madmen to pull the ball away from the Fever and tie up the match.  As the Mean Machine followed the drive downfield, it was apperant the Machine was not set up to hit quite as hard as the sophmore team simply by looking at the half dozen memebers of the Machine sitting on the sidelines with smelling salts and ice bags on their heads. When the brown cloud of poop smell finally walked off the field, the score on the board read Dnggue Fever - 2 / Mean Machine - 0.  The team trotted off the field with their heads hung low in silence, having thier dreams of a freshman year trophy dashed by a bruting sophmore team.  As they settled into the clubhouse, they saw their team captain walk out of the Head Coach’s office with a mishceivious grin on his pitch soiled face. "What gives cap’n?!?  We just lost to a bunch of thugs, and our season is over!  What’s with the sh!t eatin’ grin?" The team captain looked across the room full of BloodBowl-turned-convicts and took off his helmet.  "Chin up ladies.  The Offensive Coach just hired a new member to his staff who comes to us from a whole new prison system down south.  Unlike us northerners who are more meat and muscle, these brothers have speed and hands to take our offence to a whole new level. Next season is looking up for us and to top it off, no one died tonight!!!" The locker room looked around at each other, seeing the excitement of their team captain starting to inspire them too.  When Turley started jumping up and down yelling at the top of his lungs "Turley not know he had brothers!!!" The whole room burst into laughter and excitement and anyone walking into the room could feel the electricity of optimism arcing amongst the inmates.  Season 2, the Mean Machine is coming for you!

The first half seemed to be a continueation of the previous tqo games with the journeyman lineman the Defensive Coach bringing on to bolster the ranks dieing early on.  With a merc lineman waiting in the wings, it would appear the Mean Machine would be playing iron man BloodBowl. The news reels and sports highlights of the game have the few times that Turley the ‘Gentile Giant’ actually broke armor (though no casualty resulting), and Samson the star blitzer going toe to toe with Anger Management on both sides of the pitch, all night long.  The star play of the night however was after a riot set the game back some time, and Anger Management turned the game into a tie through some fancy footwork, the Mean Machine was down to its last two plays of the final drive and the fans decided to invade the pitch.  4 of the 10 convicts got stunned from the fan conflict, including both of the Machine’s QB’s.  After some last minute play calling from his back, Nate Scarborough rolled over, grabbed the football, and threw the football downfield to the lone blitzer standing in the end zone. After some crazy wind gusts in the air, the ball came staright for Cheeseburger, who caught the ball, bobbled it, but finally brought it down into the end zone for the game winning TD! In the post game interview the Head Coach had this to say.  "In the first half our unlucky streak seemed to continue.  In the second half our luck came back.  This game is crazy.  See ya in the tournament."

When the front office of the prison was interviewed the spokes person simply had this statement, "No comment". With th e death toll continueing to rise, the warden has run out of inmates to offer up, and the Head Coach has had to go to other prisons in the penal system to man his front line.  We’ll see how this goes for the Mean Machine. *** Casualties For changed from 1 to 0

Later in the press meeting the Head Coach was seen spewing profanities at anyone that walked past him.  The offensive coach for the Mean Machine stepped up to the mic and simply said, "No comment." It was later found that the orge Turley (nicknamed the gentle giant for his inability to cause a casualty the whole season) had stuffed the team’s game wizard into his locker.  That helped clear up why the Mean Machine’s defensive coach did not pull the wizard out during the final moments of the game to secure the win for the Mean Machine. Starting QB Paul Crewe was reported as saying, "We’ll be reeling from this one even into the tournament.  ‘Dems da breaks kiddies.  Well, its back to the basics.  Hit, run, dodge, and pass."

The head coach of the Mean Machine are giving Turley 1 more chance in the hitting department before he busted down in rank, or off the team...!

Another good showing of the Mean Machine....
