The Pack's Back on Top of the Rack

"We had a score to settle and we came out swinging . . ." commented Coach of the Pack, Scotty Plunkett, as his team made the No-shows wish they hadn't shown up.

Even though his quarterback, Elway, from the Denver area scored once, the rest of his team showed their support by almost doubling their opponent's measly score of 16. Only 3 players of the No-shows kept the team from getting shut out, and they able to hang on to at least second place with Coach Wagner's Roughers nipping at Coach Christine's heels.

It has been a while since this reporter has seen a comeback like that of the Pack, which was battling for every point that their kicker and quarterback could get. Now his whole team is getting in on the action. His re-acquired quarterback, Testaverde, seems to be getting a lot of rest playing for Coach Plunkett while Vinnie battles to get into the end of the flu.

Coach Plunkett has a tough game to consider next week against the Papa's, Coached by Mr. Robertson. Coach Plunkett said, " . . . if the momentum can carry us over this next hump, then we should have a shot at the whole thing."

Coach Robertson thought that the coach of the Pack was getting carried away in other fantasies besides football as he responded, "If this was real football we know whom the winner would be!" It has been rumored that there is a disagreement between his running back, Emmett Smith of Dallas, and Coach Robertson. This may be the reason for Emmett's poor participation by only accomplishing two touchdowns so far this season. Will Coach Robertson trade him or keep him around so he can win the "Worst pick of the Year" Award.

When asked about Coach Plunkett's chance of coming out of this season with the championship award, Coach of the Reddog Rougher's, Michael Wagner, commented "He sure does sound confident but the Roughers, no matter what injuries we may have, are not going to be so easy to sluff off. Our key players, Jabbar and Gallaway, are just waiting for a chance to plunder the Pack. Also, Dilfer seems to have a score to settle. We are not even worried about them playing Testaverde during week 13 when we play them."

Coach Plunkett also wanted us to remember to catch a glimpse of his cheerleaders, the Plunk-ettes. However, he never shows them off in public. This publication has asked repeatedly for a shot of them in action. Coach Plunkett was over heard saying, " . . .I think the support they (Plunk-ettes) have given our boys (team?) these last few weeks have contributed greatly to our success."

"We are in negotiation with our agent, Mr. McGuire, to acquire a new half time show in time for the play-offs." Commented Wagner. "Right now the choices have been narrowed to either a bullfrog quartet featuring the Bud Frogs or the Dr. Joe's barbershop quartet rendition of the theme from the Mickey Mouse Club."

I don't know about you guys but I'll be tuning in to the Plunk-ettes if Coach Plunkett ever decides to show them off. I think every team could use a Plunk-ett, especially the Cheeseheads. Maybe Coach Plunkett would lend them a few to allow them a chance to get out of the gutter of the division.
