On taking back 1st place in the Lightning Division: “It feels good to get back in the win column this week and climb back into the driver’s seat in the division. The Lightning Division features the top 3 ranked teams in the BHFFC and every division game is a brutal contest. The Pessimists put up a vigilant fight, but in the end their negative attitude on defense was apparent and we exploited that in the 4th quarter to take back what is rightfully ours – 1st place. Nobody on this team was in a very celebratory mood after this win though because we have the One-Man Wolfpack to deal with this week and they will be hungry coming off a loss.”
Commenting on the quick turnaround playing the One-Man Wolfpack just 2 weeks after losing to them in an epic battle: “Obviously, there will be a lot of emotion coming into this game. It’s like two hockey teams playing back to back nights - it’s going to be a brawl from start to finish. That’s just the way it is. We have one word around our facility this week – PAYBACK! We have Eli and Bradshaw out with byes, but the Wolfpack has starters out as well. I don’t think we’ll see the scoreboard light up like last time we played, but I think we will definitely see some personal fouls and helmets rolling on the ground. I said earlier in the year that I expected some rivalries to develop on the field this year and I can guarantee you both these squads and both fan bases will tell you this has already become one! To borrow a title from Metallica, I have been calling this game “Of Wolf and Man”.
Commenting on trade rumors swirling earlier in the week that you may pull the trigger on a trade for Ben Rothliesberger: “I don’t know where you guys are getting your information from, but you all know that this organization never reveals any information on internal matters. It’s no secret that Coach Dan Campbell has been shopping trades all over the league, but at this time Young Gun Football has no comment on any trade rumors.”
On the parity that the BHFFC has seen so far as we near the halfway point of the season: “I am amazed how tight the divisions are bunched up right now. The Thunder Division (or as the Lightning Division fans like to call it, The Blunder Division) are all separated by one game. The Lightning Division is just slightly more spaced out with 4 of the 5 teams within a 2 game margin. This season is setting up for an amazing run as the playoffs and even division titles are still within easy reach for every team in the league. It will be a matter of who can take advantage of opportunities.”
Closing Statement: “One-Man Wolfpack – Vengeance Will Be Mine!”
