Ladies and Gentleman, Wow, what a great win. I know you are all interested in talking with our players after this big win. They are all happy to talk with, just as soon as Ronnie Boozer is done buying shots for the guys. Ronnie has stated that after every win the players must do 1 shot for every point the team won by. After a 23 point win, I can imagine a few of the guys will be quite liquored up and very good for the sound bytes on tonight's news programs.
I would like to field any questions you might have.
Is there any truth to the rumor that Roman Gabriel was demanding a trade earlier this week? And what is his status on the team after this weeks game?
Well, to some extant yes, but not in the typical sense of a trade demand. Ever the team player, Roman requested to be traded for a better player because he felt he was hurting the team in his current role. He wanted to see the team succeed, and for that I can only respect him. We offered him to a couple teams, but, luckily, we were unable to work anything out. I can confidently say right now that we will be keeping Roman on the roster for the remainder of the year, and hopefully we can work something out with him to keep him on this team for a long time.
Is Quick Williams upset with a player with lesser talent getting the goal line touches? It seemed as if the game plan didn't include Quick when you reached the red zone.
Well I am not the coach. Any in game choices would have to be directed at Coach Thomas. As for Quick being upset, I don't think a player can be too upset when he gets the majority of the carries. I don't speak for Mr. Williams, but it seems the team as a whole is happier when we win. I don't think you'll find 1 person in that locker room who is upset at the outcome of this game. I also question your use of lesser talent. I believe all players have a stronger talent at one aspect of the game. Quick may be better than Roman when it comes to running between the 20's, but Roman is what he is. A strong back who is built to bruise defenses. I also don't think Quick is one to hoard all the glory either. If you remember, before the season Quick bought all the linemen Rolexes. To quote Quick, "Quick Williams is a giver. Quick Williams giveth and Quick Williams taketh away. That stuff is Biblical." I obviously censored that so you could put that in the papers.
*Laughter falls over the reporters*
Mr. Nelson, as the agent of Big Nelly, you may be able to give some insight on his move to Right Tackle today. What was his feelings on that?
*Chuckles* Well if you asked me that before the game I would have said he wasn't too happy about that. But this is a postgame news conference. He was not the biggest fan of the move, but Big Nelly does what is best for the team. Coach Thomas saw that they lined their best end at Left End, so he moved Big Nelly to Right Tackle. Big Nelly is never one to shy away from a challenge. To face such a fearsome end like Frank Warren is what Big Nelly lives for. And who do you think won that battle today? *Chuckles again* Big Nelly is something else though I must say. The man is a force that you should not question.
*Man comes and whispers in Mr. Nelson's ear*
Folks I am sorry, but that's all the time I have left. I guess Ronnie Boozer is upset that I am not with the team at the bar. He said something about me doing double now, so I better hurry over there before Ronnie starts breaking things. You all know how he is.

(Coach Thomas is sitting in his office with his feet up on the desk and a remote control in his hand. Looks like he is watching game film from the Gurupies win today. His office phone rings.)
Coach Thomas: Hello?
Voice On Phone: Hi Coach Thomas?
Coach Thomas: Yes who might this be?
Voice On Phone: Coach Thomas this is Brandon Funston from Yahoo Sports. I have a few questions for you if I can have a moment of your time?
Coach Thomas: I really am quite busy right now Brandon. I am currently looking at game film.
I don't have time to ask questions about fantasy football
Brandon Funston: I just have questions about the game in general coach. I will not talk about fantasy football. It will only take a few minutes.
Coach Thomas: OK, go ahead shoot.
Brandon Funston: Well first of all I would like to congratulate you on you first Head Coaching victory in the GBL.
Coach Thomas: Why thank you Brandon.
Brandon Funston: Big game today by Joe Roto. He seemed to really bounce back after a tough outing last week. What was the key?
Coach Thomas: Like I said before Joe Roto is our Quarterback and a damn good one at that. Joe put a lot of work this week on finding the ope n receiver. We also told him we thought the TE would be open more this game. He did a good job in finding the open receiver. That was the big difference from last week.
Brandon Funston: (Obviously doensn't care about lineman as they accumulate no fantasy stats) It seemed the Offensive Line had a great game today as a whole. They still have not given up a sack this year. Any comment on that?
Coach Thomas: Our line is our biggest asset. If our line fails we fail. They did do a great job today. I thought Big Nelly did a hell of a job today on possibly the best DE in the league today. They opened up massive holes and didn't give up a sack what more could you want?
Brandon Funston: Why didn't star RB Quick Williams get the goal line carries today?
Coach Thomas: Quick was tired. I felt Roman gave us the best shot to score inside the red zone. Quick had 20 carries today. Roman had 14. Roman just got them into the end zone. What does it matter anyway?
Brandon Funston: What does it matter? It matters because I took Quick Williams with the 3rd pick of my Friends & Family Fantasy Draft. That's what matters. You cost me 12 points today! I lost by 11. You cost me the game today coach!
Coach Thomas: Are you fuc*ing serious? You think I give a sh*t about Fantasy Football you little dweeb? I am paid to win football games. Football games that matter, not some stupid fantasy game. This call is done Funston. I don't have time for this sh*t. I have a job to do.
(Coach Thomas slams the phone down and presses play on the remote.)

Quick Williams enters, sits at podium, apologizes for being late, mumbles something about drinking too many shots
Quick, great game out there, you guys really played well as a team. Was it true that you organized a team bonding bowling event?
Quick Williams just wants to say one thing. Pin.
Yeah, you know what Quick Williams is saying.
Quick, you looked really strong out there, you had some great carries, but it didn't look like the coach was comfortable calling your number when it got close to the goal line, do you have any thoughts on that?
Quick Williams ran like a man being chased by Rosie O'Donnell at an empty Chinese buffet, if you know what Quick Williams is saying. I mean, just look at this play , I mean Quick Williams pulled their Free Safety along for a such a ride right there, the league even called Quick Williams, and now Quick Williams will be sending him a bill for transportational services, if you know what Quick Williams is talking about. Yeah you do.
So you don't care about the touchdowns then Quick?
Quick Williams loves to score, lets not mislead my lady fans here. But the main goal is to win, and after last game, Quick Williams promised all the Gurupionites a win, and Quick Williams put his name on that guarantee Nylon Boy Style. Look, TD's are nice, but Quick Williams' goal this year is to rush for 1200 or 1500 yards, whichever comes first. I mean Quick Williams would punch Boozer in the nuts if it meant we were going to win, but that's just because Quick Williams is a team player.
Last question Mr. Quick Williams, what do you think of your team now, considering how much better you played in Game 2?
Look, Quick Williams is a pretty smart man, I mean Quick Williams would have been a Rhodes scholar if it weren't for my low grades, and a smart Quick Williams can see we turned this team around 360 degrees from game one, and Quick Williams likes to think he was directly responsible for at least 154 of those degrees, if you know what Quick Williams is saying. But lastly, what the heck is that UnFunston guy's family and friends doing leaving me on the board until the third pick? That is misrespectfull to Quick Williams.

Sweet 'n' Sour Jimmy Briscoe springs up to the stage to stand behing the podium, stepping past both Touchdown Catcher and Just Throw Me the Damn Ball, who were about to approach simultaneously.
Briscoe: hey folks - i realize y'all were thinking it might be a good time to talk to those other two fellas who catch the ball, but they ain't got nothing to say. they spend all the damned time hogging the spotlight anyway, so maybe it's time one of us boys got a turn.
Ace reporter Guy Smiley, Sesame Street News: No offense Mr. Briscoe, and to be honest, those two caught a combined 13 passes for 155 yards and a touchdown. You caught one pass for 8 yards, and, well, no touchdowns."
Briscoe: son, you don't even have your facts right. they only had 154 and a half yards, while yours truly had a catch for eight point five yards. you do the math!
and, hell, did you see what a beautiful catch that was. did you see how i juked that hapless guy out of his jock to open in the clear, then laid out to catch a ball that my QB, honestly, could have thrown better? Somebody else around here - nonamesmentionedTouchdownCatcher - woulda dropped that ball.
Smiley: Well, it was a nice catch. i'll give you that.
Briscoe: Damned straight it was. What else do you expect from Sweet 'n' Sour? And hell, how many passes did i drop?? none. zero. zilch. zippo. or, as they say in espanol, dos.
Bumblebee Guy, Springfield Times: ay ay yi. no me gusta! No es Bueno!
Briscoe:Now y'all know Sweet n Sour don't speak that Chinese stuff! I'm made in America baby! End of interview!

Quick Williams just picked up some new duds to try out for our next game. Last game Quick Williams called the win. This game I am calling another win AND the stat line of the short season thus far.
Come on coaches, give Quick the ball and you won't be disappointed.

You know, coach will probably get mad at me for saying this, but after batting down balls all day and being up by over 20 in the second half, I decided to let the guy have that nice little 5.5 catch. I genuinely felt bad for him... he's a good kid. He just had no business out there today though. They say this game is all heart, and well I guess I showed I have one.
Yeah, it was my first completion allowed of the season, and I did consider keeping the streak alive, but the game was in the bag... and I decided I wanted to catch one for myself as well.
It's like my mama always taught me to share: "One for you, one for me..."

At Toulousse LeMoose's locker
RotoTimes reporter: You really came on out there today. What happened?
LeMoose: The coaches put together a great gameplan. We wanted to establish the running game and I think were able to execute what they drew up.
RotoTimes reporter: Was there a play for you, in particular, that got you going?
LeMoose: Quick Williams set the tone early. After our first possesion, an over-the-back mugging if there ever was one, we moved the ball well. On third and about two, JR called the play, Quickie looks over and says, "Hit the hole. I got that six-toed linebacker." I took the ball, Nelly and Jumbo opened up a hole so big I didn't even have to turn my head sideways to fit through it, and what do I see? Daylight and Quickie giving the serious business to Truculent Hamper. I knew it was on at that point.
RotoTimes reporter: That seemed to be when the light bulb went on for you.
LeMoose: [Getting irrate] Was that necessary? I let you come in here and this is what you do? I answer your unresearched questions and play nice and this is what I get?! I'm just messin' with ya, man. Take it easy [smiles]. If a guy like Quick Williams will jump in there and mix it up we all take notice.

(Camera cuts to 5 people sitting at the head table with microphones in front of them. From left to right we have Just Throw Me The Damn Ball, Joe Roto, Coach Thomas, Joe McSack, Joe Jevdosic, and Joe Shutdown.)
Coach Thomas: It was another well played game today by our team. We are now 2-1. I thought this was the most complete game we have played all season and the scoreboard reflected that. It was nice to get our first shut out of the year. Our coaches did a hell of a job this week putting together a great game plan, but in the end it was our players execution that lead us to victory. We will now field any question you have.
SI Reporter: Joe Jevdosic 9 pancakes today, pretty impressive. Any comments?
Joe Jevdosic: Iste Kurac Druge Gace
SI Reporter: Umm, Excuse me?
Joe Shutdown:(Whispering to Joe Jevdosic) Hey dawg, your not in Serbia anymore they don't speak that sh*t here.
Joe Jevdosic:(Now addressing the Press) I no know what yous meaning by this panicake. I know we win 30-0. This make I very glad. Coach tell me block this guy. I go block this guy.
(Joe Shutdown cuts off Jevdosic)
Joe Shutdown: What my man here is trying to say is that he ate the Polar Bears defensive line for breakfast! He had those Defensive lineman on their back quicker than a 15 year old girl at R. Kelly's house.
(Just Throw Me The Damn Ball gets up and butts fist with Joe Shutdown)
Just Throw Me The Damn Ball: Oh yea, thats right dawg!!!
DeadSpin.com: Joe Roto care to comment on your performance today? Not to stellar numbers this week compared to last.
Joe Roto: Going in we knew we were going to run the football. I didn't need to be spectacular today. I thought I played pretty well today aside from the interception on our first drive. Quick, Roman, Our Line, did more than enough for us to win today. I just sat back and enjoyed the show.
Deadspin.com: What about you Just Throw Me The Damn Ball? 27 yards receiving today? Far cry from last weeks output.
Just Throw Me The Damn Ball: I kept telling Roto just throw me the damn ball, but for some reason he kept handing it off all day. I mean what part of Just Throw Me The Damn Ball does he not get? I can only catch what is thrown to me. If you just throw me the damn ball, I will catch the damn ball. I told Roto after the game. Joe, just throw me the damn ball and all will be good. He seemed to agree. Look for a big output from just throw me the damn ball next week.
USA Today: McSack you seem to not be living up to your name. You do not have any sacks this year. Maybe you should change your name to McHurry, or Mc I cant sack the quarterback
(McSack with his 6'6" 340 pound frame stands up and flips the table in front of him)
Joe McSack: Joe McSack don't take no shit from anyone let alone some dweeb like you. You keep running your damn mouth we will be calling you Mr. McSack just put his foot up my ass. You got it PUNK!
(The other 4 players restrain McSack)
Coach Thomas: Umm, I think that is for today. We need to go prepare for the Samuri.
(Scene closes with McSack pointing at the reporter from the USA Today who is no doubt shitting in his pants right now.)

Quick Williams steps to the podium, smiling, holding his stomach
Quick, you seem to be holding your stomach, is everything ok?
Yeah, you see, Quick Williams and the boys been laughing so hard for the last little bit. Was that a JUCO team we were playing out there? Seriously, pardon my french, but Quick Williams thinks that team there sucked, if you know what I'm saying.
So Quick, what was the turning point of today's game then?
Turning point? Turning point?!? That was one of the longest straight lines Quick Williams has ever seen. To get to a turning point you need to at least have a close game. I mean Quick Williams got a sneak peek into the opposing team's locker room, and they don't got play books, just some Sponge Bob Colouring Books.
So you guys really seemed to be running the ball tonight. How did it feel to finally get some goal line touches?
Yeah, Quick Williams hit pay dirt a couple times today, it felt good. Quick Williams felt good for Roman Numeral Gabriel too. I kinda took him under my wing the last couple days, teach him a few things Quick Williams style. LeMoose got his fat butt in the way of their guys and the Big Boys on the O-Line whipped up a little bit of whoop ass all over the place and me and Roman Numeral hit the holes like Tiger Woods with a three foot put, if you know what Quick Williams' is saying.
Last question Quick, What do you see for next game when you matchup with the undefeated Atlanta squad?
Look, its Quick Williams elementary style. Big Joe Roh Toh will chuck it around, me and Roman Numeral IV will bounce around like crazy, Speedy McPickhisnose and Joe Shutdown will take away the passing game and we will Ditka those Atlanta guys like there was no tomorrow. Look, anytime we score more than 30 and hold the other team to under 10, we win most of the time, so we got our strategies all under control.
Anyways, that is it kids, me and the Boozey boys have some places to hit.

Kyle Nelson walks up to the podium
Big game for the team today congrats on the big win
Thanks, it's always good to beat a team that we feel will be competition in the Playoffs. It also helps to have the tie breaker in case we end in a tie in the standings.
You seemed to have gotten beaten pretty badly in the 3rd quarter. Did you get out of position or were you not expecting the pass?
Well I just got beat. I'm not really one to drop back in... hey Shutdown, what's that thing you do?... Yah, cover-age. I just hit people really hard. So when he caught that ball after my blown cover-age I just wound up and hit him. That's what I know what to do.
I'm actually quite tired. I think I am going to have to cut this interview short. We have a plane to catch in the morning.

Sweet 'n' Sour Jimmy Briscoe walks up to the podium in the empty press room, wearing only his jock and a glazed look in his eyes.
Briscoe: I just wanted to thank all of you for making me the MVP of the game, of the team, of the season. I've worked hard to make it to this level, and I've worked hard to excel at this level, but never in my wildest dreams did i expect to have a 28-catch, 9 TD performance...in one game!
It took a while for this team to learn of the threat I am, to learn how valuable of a player i am, to learn how important to this team i am.
but not that it has, Indy has realized that the offense must run through me if we are to be successful. i mean, look how crappy our record was until they really started giving me the ball, instead of all those other receivers.
Just then Ace reporter Guy Smiley, Sesame Street News and Bumblebee Guy, Springfield Times, burst into the press room, followed by a horde of reporters ready to interview the Indy players after their rousing 23-3 win over the Destin Pigskin Pimps.
Briscoe: Aw sheet. Y'all didn't do this already? Like, hours ago?
Smiley: Jimmy, the game just ended. Not even 5 minutes ago...come to think of it, you weren't on the field much during the 4th quarter...umm...is that a bottle of whiskey in your hand?
Bumblebee Guy, Springfield Times: Ay! No Es Bueno!

As the team steps off the bus and heads toward the stadium preparing for todays game:
Erin Andrews, ESPN: Falco...We hear you have a new contract. Any comments?
Falco: You people are well informed. Yes, I did sign a new contract this morning and I'm happy with it, except for one minor detail. It made no mention of playing time, and here I am the ONLY SS on the roster. Yet, I sit on the bench. I have college buddies who are also rookies and they have TWICE my play time on the season. I've told my agent, and he's informed me that he has informed the front office that I want an opportunity to start. So if I dont start, and soon, they need to consider trading me. I cant get better and I cant contribute to any team, sitting on the bench.

At Toulousse LeMoose's locker
RotoTimes reporter: Tell me about the game. It seemed like pretty tough sledding for you guys early on.
LeMoose: First things first. Where've you been? I go out there every game and do my job. The least you can do is show up and do yours. You know where to find me. You think you can only come talk to me when I get to touch the ball? That's the least of my concerns. I got an assignment for you: Go back to your fancy computer and watch the last two games. This team is successful when we hit on all cylinders. I know my role and I accept it.
Now, we had some issues moving the ball in the first half. It's gonna happen. The coaches upstairs saw some things that they were doing on defense, we mixed it up on them, and we got on track.
RotoTimes reporter: How did it feel to get your first touchdown of the season?
LeMoose: You really don't watch the games, do you? I had a touchdown in Game 1; seems like you and the Head Linesman were the only ones that didn't see it. Like I said, the coaches saw the bend in the middle of their line. We hammered 'em with Krishie twice-Krish! Krish! just like his name- to soften 'em up and Nelly and TL flattened 'em out. Ha-ha! Coach made a funny and didn't even know it. I can hear it next week in the huddle, 'Krish Krish on two; two times.' Oh, we gonna have fun with that one.
RotoTimes reporter: You've really loosened up these last couple of games.
LeMoose: Yeah, LeMoose is loose! I like that. Now you're funny, too. Look, I gotta go prep for next week. I'll see you after the game.

RotoTimes reporter: Another touchdown today, plus your first catch.
LeMoose: Like you said last week, "LeMoose is loose!" Ha-ha-ha!
RotoTimes reporter: I didn't say that; you did.
LeMoose: That doesn't make it any less true! We're trying some new things, guys are adding new wrinkles, and the coaches are getting us prepped for each game. You can't take anything for granted in this league.
RotoTimes reporter: But next week is 0-9 Green Bay...
LeMoose: Doesn't matter. We have to put in our reps and work hard each day. Teamwork and training; that's going to be the key down the stretch.

At Toulousse LeMoose's locker
RotoTimes reporter: What happened out there today?
LeMoose: To be honest, I'm not really sure. We watched the film on those guys. We were prepared. Any given- what's today?- Saturday. Any given Saturday a team can get you.
RotoTimes reporter: Did your overnight trip to Midland, TX have any affect on your performance?
LeMoose: How'd you know I went to Midland last night? You been taking my advice and doing your homework?
RotoTimes reporter: The camera caught you at the Rockhounds game. I mean, you were kind of hard to miss since you were behind homeplate.
LeMoose: My agent is moving to Midland and I have a cousin that works for the Rockhounds. They set me up last night.
RotoTimes reporter: Your cousin wouldn't be Juice the Moose , the Rockhounds longtime mascot, would he? And how, exactly, were you "Set up?"
LeMoose: Yeah, that's him. Like I said, he set me up last night- you know, tickets and... stuff- but I think any influence on my performance it had will be positive, in the long term anyway.
RotoTimes reporter: A couple of plays it looked like you were lost out there. Any carryover from your fumble last game?
LeMoose: It was nothing. I might've been a little juiced up, I mean, jetlagged, but I'll get it together. Sometimes the ball hits the ground. When it does, sometimes it bounces your way, other times it doesn't. Today, nothing really bounced right for us. It happens to other teams, too.

At Toulousse LeMoose's locker
RotoTimes reporter: What was the mindset of the team today?
LeMoose: Give someone a whuppin.' We went out and laid the wood to those banjo pickers.
RotoTimes reporter: You split time in the backfield with the tightends today. Was that part of the game plan?
LeMoose: There's one of me and three of them. We don't run a lot of multiple tightend sets, so for everyone to get their reps we share the load. On a day like today going against a pass-happy team like the Longnecks we knew we needed to control the ball and run the clock. We were able to do that effectively because we all know our role and play our part, whether it's stepping up or stepping aside.
RotoTimes reporter: The next game is going to be big.
LeMoose: They're all big, this next one is huge. We're going on the road against a tough team. They hit you hard and don't let up for four quarters. It's going to be tough going, but the coaching staff has had this game circled for a long time. We know what it means and we know what we have to do. We're going out there to play our game. If we execute, they may keep it close, but we'll take care of business. I got to hit the gym. See you after the game.

LeMoose: Quiet. There wasn't a lot of chatter going into this game. It was all about focus and concentrating on our assignments.
RotoTimes reporter: You had a new assignment out there today.
LeMoose: I mixed in a little special teams action. It's something new the coaches wanted to try and I think it worked out pretty well. I've always said I'll do what ever is asked of me on the field. I want the team to be successful and if it means being special, I can be special.
RotoTimes reporter: You seemed to take to it pretty well.
LeMoose: I block; that's what I do. Anywhere, anytime, anybody. We're gonna go out and finish the season strong and roll into the playoffs. We'll see these guys again. We'll get them.
