Summary for those with ADHD: Frogs > Water Dragons
January 6, 2009
Dateline: Phuket, Ocean of Dispair stadium, seating for 56,000
The Dart Frogs made their inaugural entry into the "Ocean of Dispair" stadium, which from the looks of it is derived from a combination of the words "despair" and "disrepair". Both would befit this dilapidated home in Phuket, as their hometown team fell to 0-3 with a 66-12 loss to Surabaya today. The loss was the worst for Phuket since a 59-point defeat last season at the hands of the Cambodia Mountain Men.
"I feel like we're just one step away from where we need to be," said Harry Glands, the wookiee, er, halfback, for the Water Dragons, speaking in his native Shyriiwook tongue through his interpreter, Hans. "It just sucks to lose like this in front of our fans. They deserve better." The aptly named Harry is renowned in GLB as the only player in the league to play without helmet or pads. At 6'11" and 380 pounds, Glands was seen on the sideline lifting all five seated offensive linemen. That is some kind of 'bench' press from that man. Look for good things to come in future games from him.
Meanwhile, the Dart Frogs offense exerted their will on the Water Dragons defense all night, with over 50 pancakes recorded in the affair. Seven of those came from reserve Offensive Tackle and fan favorite, Fatty Fatts, the largest member of the Dart Frog team at 536 pounds of muscle (mostly). Fatts learned after the game that he had been dealt to another team to allow Surabaya to acquire a high level linebacker. When interviewed, Fatts held his head down and was kicking the dirt. "That sucks, man. I really wanted to help this team out again this season. I guess in a way I am, but it just won't be the same. These guys are like family to me." You'll be missed, Fatts, as will the Only Lofa Tatupu, who was also included in the trade.
Tatupu came from royal descent, but all of his brothers were named 'King Sofa Tatupu' and he was the 'Only LOFA Tatupu'. While Lofa was an adequate ruler, his parents were constantly chastising him with comparisons to his brothers. They would say things like, "You may think you are smart, but you are not Sofa King smart.", or "You may think you are rich, but your brothers are Sofa King rich", or "You will never be Sofa King lucky as to find a good woman!". But Lofa knew his brothers were also Sofa King slow and Sofa King weak and that he was different. Eventually, Lofa accepted his gifts and used his parents' criticisms to drive him to the pinnacle of athletic endeavors, the GLB. We'll miss you, Lofa, Sofa King much.
The Dart Frogs return home to face the Seoul Men in their next outing.
