Standing on the 40 yard line of the playing surface here in the Terrordome, I’m overwhelmed by the smell of garlic and onions that fill the air. While not your traditional Somalian cuisine, the Mogadishu Malice have thrown quite the pre-season extravaganza.
Recent season MVP Justin Sauser explains; “Last season we had a bake sale. That was fine, but almost everyone got sick and the team had to give all the money we made to the janitorial staff for repairs to the stadium’s plumbing.”
I guess that explains why the Malice weren’t able to sign any of those Wide Receivers they were looking for last season.
As I learned from Arutacha, the team’s owner, there is a purpose behind this event as well; “Quite frankly, we’re disastrously thin at Linebacker. We didn’t really lose anyone to free agency; it’s just that on our way back from the game in Madagascar a couple of the guys went missing. Last I hear one of them is in Cuba impersonating a Castro brother or something.”
As the event continues, I’m treated to traditional Mexican Mariachi music played by members of the team, including star offensive lineman Hul Kedout. He said; “I’m French, I don’t know anything about any Mere-I-archie music. I can play a sweet violin though, and this charro getup is pretty sweet. Are there anymore beans?”
Those interested in trying out for the team (or if you know the whereabouts of the missing linebackers) please contact the team at;
