Humpbert "Butters" Rico joined the team after a very costly victory against some ogres, where two players, including one blitzer, were killed, and the team's catcher was crippled with an injury. Feeling the pinch of very few players for the next game, Captain Grips took a trip down to the slave block to purchase a new lineman immediately. The only one available was Butters, who got his nickname from the fact he's very overweight and likes to eat everything with a lot of butter.
