Roughers Ready to Rumble. . . But Have Little to Say

After the loss over the Cheesehead underdogs, the Reddog coach, Michael Wagner, is focusing only on setting up for the much needed massacre of the Pack in week Thirteen.

If the Roughers lose this game it could mean being leashed and tied down reaching nothing higher than third place for the season. The Reddog Roughers’ coach, Michael Wagner, had very little to say about his line up for next weeks game. However, he did mention that this was the first week in a while that his whole team was off the injured reserve list. There is a rumor that Coach Wagner brought back one of the original Roughers, Ricky Watters, but he would not confirm or deny whether Watters was on his line-up for next week's game.

“All I am going to say is that, as promised, Dilfer will play as quarterback next week to finally settle which coach actually benefited over the infamous battle over Testaverde.” Commented Coach Wagner. “Dilfer is playing against a team with only one win under their belt this weekend so I foresee a very one sided game.”

Last week, The Roughers were defeated by the last placed team in the HES North Wing Division. The Cheeseheads stepped right over the Papa’s to climb out of the gutter just to get a glimpse of their next opponent, the No-Shows. Glenn’s Gorillas is still hanging on by a thread between these two rivals.

“My team (The Roughers) played exceptionally well with most of the players contributing.” stated Coach Wagner. “Unfortunately the unexpected high scoring game between Green Bay and Indianapolis put just too much pressure on my runningback, Jabbar, to score three touchdowns in the Monday night game just to stay up with the Cheeseheads.”

The Miami game against Buffalo Monday night showed off the Rougher runningback all right. Jabbar scored his 11th touchdown of the season which ranked him at the top in the NFL. Roughers are fighting the Pack in another area, the Most Valuable Player Award. Elway, Coach Plunkett’s Quarterback, also is ranked high in the NFL for scoring.

There are two big games to keep track of this weekend. One of them will be the show down between the quaterbacks of the Pack and the Roughers. The other comes from the underside of the league between the Gorillas and the Papa’s. Can Coach Muske man handle the Papa’s enough to keep his own position in the league secure or will he choke as he did while trying to make nachos out of the irrepressible Cheeseheads last week? You might take a quick glance at the battle of the Cheeseheads and the No-Shows this weekend. Green Bay may save Coach Jennifer’s butt once again, but don’t hold your breath.
