Yarr!! Avast!! Twas a bloody mess for the Scurvy Lads as they waded deep into the dumpsters to land defeat onto the decks of Drokmar's rat ringers. A 12 gun salute for the fallen, though our ranks be full so there was no new recruitin' done.

Rocky Horror Bloodbowl Team 1 - 2 Hamburger Helper
http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=match&id=516121
Well, after only one game Riff Raff showed us what happens when you give a niggling Werewolf Handyman the idea that he has some job security -- he calls in sick. Although we believe we heard over the phone a distinctly feminine voice calling him to 'come back to the hot tub', Riff Raff insists this was, in fact, his physical therapist and that he will certainly be back in shape for our first crossover game.
Things seemed to go well at first, despite a perfect defense we managed to establish a bulwark behind which to protect former President Nixon (who managed to pick the ball up the first time with his newly steadied hands) and get a Werewolf (alright, THE Werewolf) and the two Wights into a scoring position. The meatheads covered Magenta but were content to simply block off access to the Wights so we knocked them around a bit to remove the chance of intercepting and then Tricky Dick ran down and lobbed a quick pass to Columbia who caught it and ran the ball in for a two turn touchdown.
The meathead's drive started out well enough too. For a turn or two we held them pretty still, forcing them to look for an opening first on one wing and then the other. And then things began to fall apart.... Eddie, who's been devastated since losing his teddy (though, in truth, he never seemed to care much for it when it was around) was KO'd and stayed that way for the remainder of the game as did Magenta who apparently figured that if her brother wasn't going to show up for work then she wouldn't either. Combined with a couple of casulties (all of whom managed to regenerate) and the meatheads were able to stall till the end of the half before tying things up in order to prevent us from getting a second chance at having Magenta and Eddie return from the KO box.
The second half was one long drive. The meatheads' strategy to prevent the return of Eddie and Magenta worked and so we found ourselves undermanned and underpowered -- still we almost managed to pull off the win (or at least almost had a good chance to). Once the ball got to the midfield line we managed to hold the meatheads up rather repspectably. First Columbia managed to hit the ball carrier, knock the ball loose and pick it up. When the meatheads knocked her down, Dr. Everett Von Scott ran the new ball carrier down with his wheelchair and also managed to pick up the ball. Well the meatheads, showing no sense of shame, plowed down the hapless cripple and again reclaimed the ball. We again knocked the ball loose when Rocky Horror blitzed the ball carrier. This was the play on which the game hinged and it ended up swinging in the meathead's favor. A good portion of Mully's team was fairly deep in my side of the field, the rest I managed to fairly well screen off from his side of the field before blitzing. If the ball had simply bounced back we would have likely been able to get a ghoul or wight over to it and down the field. Instead it bounced down to former President Nixon who naturally dropped it, sending it back to Betty Munroe who also dropped it, sending it back again. At that point the meathead team was all over the ball like Mully on the chance to start a new league and it was only a matter of time before they ran in the winning TD.
The team continues its perfect streak of not getting any fan factor increases, though this time we merely broke even. On the positive side, Janet Weiss, who's been spending an inordinate amount of time working out with Rocky Horror since the demise of her fiance Brad Majors, is now sporting a terrific new physique and can now likely break that geek across her knee like a dry twig. We also raised enough money so that we were able to replace the Criminologist, because you never know when you'll need a stodgy old pendatic academician with no neck. |

<b>Hamburger Helper 2 vs Rocky Horror BB Team 1</b>
Bahhhh...... bouncing balls, blitzing ghouls, wheelchair bound freaks. Don't listen to any of it, it's all hog-wash. The game was won and lost on 2 very simple strategies by mastermind Mull.
1) Before the game Coach Mull sent blitzer Meatloaf over to the Rocky Horror locker room where he .....how should I say .....pinched a loaf. Hehe you know how dogs are with sh-t. Poor Rif Raf couldn't resist. He claims to have pulled a hammy, but witnesses report him sniffing and rolling around in the sh-t the entire night.
2) Based on this sucessfull strategy, Coach Mull then snuck lineman Crap over to the Rocky Horror KO box to ....well ......crap. As soon as dog #2 Magenta hit the KO box it was over. He spent the entire 2nd half playing in the poop like a kitty plays with cat nip.
And a necro team without wolves is .......hmmmm ......not very good.
Game over |

<b>Sinister Urge 2 vs New York Giants 1</b>
The game started with me accidentally pushing "receive" and then the 1st kick off was a blitz. I thought "here we go again". Fortunately my zombies got some KOs and we stole the ball and a 1-0 halftime lead. Bonus was a niggle on the p-ssy Kerry Collins.
Second half and Phil Sims of the NYG showed why he should have been starting. He weaved through a line of defenders and worked the ball to Joe Morris for the score.
Next kick off I get the feeling FUMBBL is gonna f-ck me over again so I set up in a totall defensive posture. Sure enough, another blitz. This time i am ready to stop the attack and work the ball for the 2-1 win. Nuffle was kind tonight. Didnt even use ANY of my 5 RRs in the 2nd half. Of course ......it's all a matter of coaching ....... hehe
Now on to the cross overs where we will ........die. |

Fifth Regular Season Game vs Wood Elf Team Warriors of Woe (Another game, another O/T Loss, this time 2-3, 19 spp)
The ugly beasts actually came back in this game and tied it in the last turn. Then they lost the toss in O/T and let the woodies waltz in and score. Khorne must really hate us. My helper Psycho the Watchman finally learned how to block in this game and then went out and slipped in the blood of the beastman he was torturing, resulting in his niggling injury. At least Bull the Stupid has figured out how to create some pain on the pitch. We may have to release Bull from his pen a little more often so he can serve up some Blood for the Blood God. |

For once, the bookies were betting on the Warriors of Woe. Everything seemed to be in their favor. Not only were they rated higher, but also they outnumbered the slaves of chaos 12-11, they were more skilled 8-4, and even their record was better 2-5 vs 0-7.
When Malendil (the team’s only wardancer) took the field and discovered someone had greased his shoes – no problem right? The Slaves won the toss and elected to receive. They came out hitting. ¾ hits broke armor including a broken neck to Nirethlar (only elf with guard) causing a niggling injury. Al was silent as the team held their breath. The apothecary was quick on his feet however and managed to save the poor fool. Shaken but still confident the team started their defense. Things started to look better as they managed to stun the minotaur. Kallinn (a skilled dodger) tripped making his dodge and is promptly knocked out however. The team is still not worried. Elves are supposed to fail the easy stuff. Just to prove the point Athroth trips and stuns himself next turn while trying move a bit farther than normal. The Slaves run in a touchdown easily but at least no more elves are hurt.
The Warriors set up to receive, but the coach for the Slaves has outsmarted them. He quickly moves all his players on the scrimmage thwarting the Warriors carefully planned set-up. Amidst the scuffling at the line of scrimmage, no one notices as the usually very agile Athroth bobbles the ball as he picks it up from the turf. Blocks are thrown on both sides as the Warriors struggle to get elves into position for the score. In no time, Althroth and Eriel are both badly hurt and lie wounded on the sidelines. With players dropping left and right Calinn goes for the quick score. Dodging free he passes to Liannor the Catcher. Unfortunately, Liannor is distracted by the adjacent beastman and lets the ball slip through his fingers.
The Warriors manage to get the ball right back as the beastman carrying the ball trips while trying to move too far. Again, the pass is made to Liannor. Again, he is distracted by the adjacent beastman and lets the ball slip through his fingers. Luckily, another beastman for the Slaves trips while moving too far and the Warriors get yet another chance. This time the catch is hauled in easily and Liannor streaks for the end zone. The half ends not long after with a few more stuns and trips thrown in for good measure.
Second half shows more promise as Malendil badly hurts a beastman on the opening drive. As more players are pushed around on both sides, Esslar sneaks into the end zone and scores for the Warriors.
The Slaves receive and push the ball downfield. Still riding his adrenaline rush, Malendil blitz’s the beastman holding the ball but ends up flat on his back as the beastman out blocks him. A fierce tumble for the ball ensues as ownership of the ball changes hands with each turn. Finally the Warriors manage to get the ball into the hands of Kalion who sees Liannor open near the endzone. Kalion trips trying to get to the catcher and smashes his hand severely, a wound sure to aggravate him for the rest of his career. The Slaves recover the ball and run towards their end zone. Malendil fails to bring the beastman down or even strip the ball from its grasp. With a few hits and a nice dodge the beastman scores to end regulation play.
Overtime begins with seven Warriors taking on eight Slaves. Each side blocks ineptly as the Warriors struggle to set up their offense. Down to six elves, the Warriors are running out of options. They attempt the same passing play that has failed them twice previously. This time Liannor is paying attention. He plucks the ball from the air and streaks for the end zone. The Slaves are all just out of range and cannot catch the speedy elf as he dashes free into the end zone.
In the end, it was a bloody contest that the elves should have won easily but were nearly outmatched by the fearsome Slaves. Thanks to Caileanhawk for a fun match! |

So much for radio promotions. Riverbottom Nightmare Band were to do a live show in their backyard for the winners of a radio contest. It was won by a Skaven pack Druin Dumpster Dwellers But that was ALL they won. Early into the show the rats were being stomped on by an over enthusiastic secruity crew and decided that it was no longer about the music. So they grabbed what little snacks were left and headed for the door. Gig Cancelled.
Score Board will show that the Band won 1-0...but it wasn't rock n roll . |

Words from the Master
<b><u>NA I vs Europe</b></u>
1s – Kadrin Kannons (5-0-0) vs Black Demons (5-0-0) – Finally some competition for these super titans. After cruising through their divisions, these monsters go head to head in a pre-playoff matchup. Prediction : The dwarves will find it harder to push around these Orcs than the lightweights in their division. Demons by .5
2s – Rocky Horror Blood Bowl Team (3-0-2) vs Cartoonettes (4-0-1) – A tough one to call. SideshowBob has beaten every on in the division, other than the Black Demons. His bitches always find a way to win. Prediction : Girls enjoy the show and walk away winners. Zons by .2
3s – Warrriors of Woe (3-0-2) vs Northern Raiders (2-1-2) – A week ago I would have picked Woe by a full TD. But that was before the Raiders got healthy munching on some halfings. Prediction : In a close affair the elves win it in OT, with both sides taking casualties. Woe by .2
4s – Hamburger Helper (2-0-2) vs Blackrock Wardogs (2-1-2) – It’s a mystery how the well coached Wardogs are in 4th place. This should be another close affair decided in OT. Prediction : Could it be possible these Dogs are just cursed? Hamburger by .1.
5s – Slaves of Chaos (0-0-5) vs Darkest ot Hillside Thickets (1-0-4) – Speaking of cursed. The Chaos could easily be 4-1 right now after a record 4 OT losses. They are building for the 2nd half and will get an easy run at the halflings who are coming off a devastating beating in round #5. Prediction : Khorne is very happy. Chaos by 1.6
<b><u>NA II vs Australia</b></u>
1s – Bullz on Parade (4-0-1) vs Riverbottom Nightmare Band ( 4-0-1) – The Bullz are coming off a surprise loss vs Illusion. Tempers may be flaring as they look to get back in the win column. The RBN Band has fed off the weak and will be tested in this cross over match. Prediciton : CDs will create some pain. Bullz by .8
2s – Sinister Urge (3-0-2) vs Scurvy Lads of Yore (4-0-1) – Well they are both undead. That’s about all they have in common. The 2 Scurvy mummies ought to have a field day with the mummies and end the suspense quickly. Prediction : Scurvy Lads by .7
3s – New York Giants (2-0-3) vs Tepoc’s Chosen (2-1-2) - Two underachievers meet in the cross over match. With strong rosters, one can only think upper management needs to shake up the coaching staff. The Giants are coming off a beating in week #5 which may give the edge to the lizards. Prediction : Chosen by .2
4s – Illusion (2-0-3) vs We do it for love (2-0-2) – Nothing was expected out of either team until week #5 when both squads posted impressive upsets. One of these teams will carry that momentum forward. You gotta believe these squads are happy to see another elf team across the pitch. Prediction : too close to call hmmm Darkies by .1
5s – Canada’s rat cities (2-0-3) vs Druin Dumpster Dwellers (1-1-2) – No we’ve almost reached the bottom of the barrel. A rats vs rats contest to see who can get injured the worse. The DDDs are coming off a humiliating concession and are likely still in the dumps. Prediction : Canadian rats by .4
6s – Seahawk Clan (0-0-5) vs Quod’s Warpies (0-0-5) – The bottom of the barrel has been reached. One of these teams will emerge victorious, the other may never win a game. Talk about pressure. The elves may ask to be moved to the Aussie division after this one. Prediction : Clan by .8 |

<b>Hamburger Helper 0 vs Blackrock Wardogs 1</b>
Well Nuffle's been personally giving me the high hard one up the a$$ this week and now it's festered into the MLB. Despite intense defensive pressure the Orcs managed to score in T8 IN RAIN thanks to a pick up, hand off, and 2 GFI for the TD and 1-0 lead. (for the Noobs out there those are 4+ rolls)
Second half and the Orc defense was tough. Some sh-tty block dice (skulls) almost cost the life of a lineman (apoth saved) and exposed the ball carrier. We were in deep sh-t until a lucky blocking turn took out a BO and a blitzer. We were back in business. This was followed up by a bonehead (me) move and my passer was exposed. He was taken down (1D pow of course) and the ball scattered.
T7 I had a chance to tie the game but Catchup in the endzone rolled 2-1 on the catch.
T8 made a nice move to fee up the ball, with the help of a friendly scatter and Boss Man jumped on it 1 square from the end zone.
This was followed by 1-1 on the GFI and the game.
Bite me Nuffle you sadistic Bitch !!!! |

Don't listen to Mully. This was a thoroughly convincing win for the Dogs. Two comedy blocks SI'd the 2 players and caused a small amount of concern but nothing that the Dogs couldn't handle  . The reason why Bossman fell at the last hurdle was because he couldn't believe his teams luck and felt obliged to give Nuffle a biscuit 
First blood to the Euros in the "Battle of the Pond" (get it? as in the Atlantic). |

Warriors Of Woe 0 VS NOrthern Raiders 1
Purely by accident, the wrong team dressed out for the match. Instead of the graceful elves who normally play, a group of shambling skeletons took the field. While the coach fumed and ranted on the sidelines the “elves” managed to trip, drop, fumble, and otherwise klutz themselves through to another loss.
In reality, THIS is the true team. The people who show up every once in awhile and manage not to roll double ones are the impersonators. They just stop in often enough to delude the coach into thinking there is some hope left.
Thanks to SerXes for a fun match, although laughing at ones own misfortune gets old in a hurry. Hopefully Nuffle will spread the love around a bit more evenly next time! |

Bullz On Parade 2 Riverbottom Nightmare Band 1
It is always tough when you take the Band on the road for it's first overseas trip! Wendall got so travel sick that his niggling injury flared up and he couldn't play. After that it was a good show but a bad result. We played all our best tunes but the Chaos Dwarf fan base just didn't like anything we offered up and let us know in the most brutal way possible. One by one they whacked the kids and sent them to the green room. By the 2nd half we were down to half a team and that was that. Now to have a word with our booking agent! |

Rocky Horror Bloodbowl Team 2 - 0 Cartoonettes
http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=match&id=533229
Score one for the Yanks and one against Commish Mully's putative powers of prognostication.
Taking a page from the Commish's book, we had Eddie take care of some 'business' in the Cartoonettes water cooler before the match and two of the ladies seemed to take ill and were intermittently unable to play.
The Cartoonettes took to the field in their best lingerie in an flagrant attempt to distract us but, while Frank and the boys do appreciate fine lingerie, they managed to stay on focus and save the trading of fashion secrets for after the match. The Werewolves were particularly effective, slicing through the ladies' armor like it wasn't there (which it practically wasn't). Magenta scored the only real casualty of the game, fracturing the skull of linewoman Smurfan, but those magnificent claws kept the KO box full and aided in the accomplishment of what has become the base team strategy: "Victory through attrition".
The Cartoonettes received first and, though their progress was slowed, they seemed likely to score until a misstep by a Catcher ended the ladies' turn early and opened up the ball carrier to a crowd push by Magenta which relocated the ball to the center of the field and allowed the deadites to get ahold of it. After a brief tussle in the center of the field, the deadites were able to clear the Zons off the ball, enabling Riff Raff to grab it and run in a touchdown in the closing moments of the first half.
All of the Cartoonettes KOs returned for the half, though the deadites soon refilled the box. Both of the ladies affected by the tainted water cooler sat out the first drive. Former President Nixon managed to pick up the ball without mishap and carried it a good way downfield before remembering that he can't go through a game without screwing something up and tripped dodging out of a tackle zone. Luckily the Amazon blitzer who tried to pick up the ball was similarly klutzy and the deadites were able to reassert control. Columbia grabbed the ball and headed for the end zone but was brought down by a dodgy blitzer. The Criminologist proved that Tricky Dick isn't the only Ghoul who can bobble a ball, followed by Riff Raff, before Columbia finally managed to pick it up again and scoot into the end zone.
At this point the crowd had apparently seen enough to know they had seen too much and decided to take matters into their own hands and storm the field, effectively ending the game. It appears that we will not meet our goal of reaching a fan factor of 1 by the end of the crossover games but we rest comfortably in the knowledge that there are certain constants in the universe and our fan factor has still not increased. |
