[Firewater]

The Diplomats fanbase was heartened by their first victory, and while the playoffs were not out of reach just yet, it seemed that they were still wary about the chants for victory to ensure things would continue...

it was like a collective jaw dropped across the nation. Last season the Sea Dogs struggled to break even on number of weins to losses...this season they can't seem to lose. An amazing turnaround, especially considering the chaos the move from Melbourne had to have been between the seasons.

[You probably should understand that I was able to update rosters, so there might have been radical changes. In addition, free agency and a draft makes it so that the lower teams will usually cut their weakest and pay big money. You, being a middle of the line team, probably got a good draft pick and some nice trades. From what I've seen, though, the real difference is in your passing game. You already have more yards passing now than you did all last season. Keep it up.]

[Markus Wilding]

Alvonian Colberts fans have been known to cause riots in the last ew weeks due to the unstoppable force that is their team with only one loss. We hope this continues. (the winning, not the rioting)

(How the eff did I do that?)

[Sargun II]

[See above. It should be noted that teams tend to do stupid things like trade away superstars very quickly in the first year. A quick look at your roster shows that four of your six draft picks have 80+ stats, meaning you had the best draft overall and they're all starters. Unless your team manages to trade them all away, you'll probably be a hit for a long time.]

"Don't count your Mexicans before they are laid!"
[/quote]

"Everyone knows Mexicans don't get laid," shouts an inebriated Lemurs fan. The majority of Lemurs fans seem to be quite smug about their team's 5-2 record this season.

An inebriated Flying Mex fan heard the Lemurs fan, and knowing that what he said was true, proceeded to jump him after the game, and with the help of his homies, stabbed him repeatedly. Apparently the Mex are [i]more[/i] happy, because they are 6-1.

Says a radio talk show host, "The pressure is on the Transvaal Cup to uphold their sport's reputation for riots. A stabbing occurred during the Gridiron Tournament today while no incidents of hooliganism have been reported at Cup games."

The team is ecstatic over yet another win, and the coach was all smiles during the after-game interview.

"If it had been in any doubt before...this game settles the fact that this tournament is a definite improvement over the last one."

[KingChris]

All around Texas, fans cheered as they made the playoffs for the first time. The question now was: would Texas get a BYE in the first week of playoffs?

Texas is not quite in the playoffs yet - there are still six more weeks to perform.

OOC: Bye weeks don't exist, so only 16 weeks

[hawk11]

The RABN's newly-established sports network, the Rebel Army Sports Network, would like to negotiate a deal to broadcast international games within its market.

International games are not broadcast due to a lack of offers - all games are simply played locally and we do not discourage piracy of the games to international markets. If RABN wishes to make the first offer, they should.

With the eleventh straight win, the Sea Dogs have been assured of a slot in the playoffs. "This does not, however," the coach stated after the game, "give them any excuse to slackoff for the remaining seasonal games. They will be training hard, and playing hard right to the end."

OOC: Heh, if I ever get something wrong, feel free to correct me.

OOC: Could you change Articuno Islands to Beijing Ninjas?

Can we have results?

[/quote]

Like SMH's tournament, the entire season is simmed at once. All I do is look at the records instead of each individual game because of the amount of teams and games played per week. Sorry, Minilla.

And because my Week 13 didn't go through (I put all the stuff in notepad and then copy/paste), I'll be doing both 13 and 14 today.
