“FUMBBL SMACK Sched ROO XLIX round 1

My name is Barry Allen, and I am the fastest rat alive. Today, I was the luckiest rat alive. We got a warning about some very well-read amphibians moving in on Warpstone City. The team deployed, and it was just up to Dr. Wells to make a routine pickup and secure the ball. He bollocksed it up in a major way. The Read-Its (a rather erudite name for frogs) swarmed the ball and we watched helplessly as they moved it towards the end zone. Ronnie, Caitlin, Cisco and I did everything we could to delay them while Eddie put the hurt on them. General Eiling got taken out early but made an appearance later in the match. Just when all hope seemed lost, coach Throweck majorly 'cocked it up' (those were his words). You see, the amphibians tried to stall out an extra turn and Ronnie went all 'Firestorm' on their slimy hides! The ball went out of bounds and Eddie recovered it, chucking even further up field. That 1 extra square made all the difference as the amphibians came up exactly 1 square short to do the hand off. They did try a tricky play by handing off to a frog next to the scorer and it did bounce through a few hands but landed in the wrong square. Second half we made an attempt to stop their score but were too short on numbers. The Read-Its easily scored in T8 and we had used our last reroll trying to blitz the ballcarrier (mistake on my part). However, then we regrouped and I gave the team a pep-talk 'C'mon metas, the city needs us!' I managed a 1 turn TD with help from my friends. Then we got the kick but quickly got into trouble. However, Dr. Wells kept his cool and kept recovering the ball. Finally, when he was nearly completely surrounded, he made the throw of his life from 2 TZs to Ronnie. Beautiful catch and Ronnie's off. Unfortunately he lets himself get pinned to the sideline, but he turned on the Firestorm powers again and dodges out of it for the improbable win! And all without a reroll for 7 straight turns.

When things look their darkest, you sometimes have to reach deep inside to find the light. It helps to have a great team around you too. So we stopped the bad guys from carrying out their nefarious plan and saved the city. And we've earned the right to advance and do it again, because Warpstone City needs us and there's no one else who can do it.

(thanks for the game, Throweck. We both tried to call it too early, but your prediction was more accurate than mine. Nothing like a comedy of errors to feed nuffle's whims)”
