Midway through the 4th quarter against the Greenwood Alley Cat and we kick the FG to get within a TD. We just need 1 stop to get our explosive offense back on the field to tie it up like they have done so many times this year already. The Cats make a nice 5 yard run on a 3rd and 3.5 and now our defense forces them into another critical 3rd down on the drive: 3rd down and 6 from our 40.
One of our big 3 CB's decides to take a breather and super back-up CB Skippy McGee enters the game and draws a 1-on-1 match-up with the Alley Cats' best receiver, "the Freaking Yo-Yo" or whatever he calls himself. Yo-Yo tries to drive him off hard.....attempting to sell the deep pass, but Skippy isn't buying it!! He knows it is a come-back route! When Yo-Yo plants to come back to the pass, Skippy jumps the route and sees nothing between himself and the game tying INT return for a TD. But then....just as he is about to clutch the ball, Yo-Yo pulls out his trusty Yo-Yo (they don't call him Yo-Yo for nothing) and smacks Skippy in the face with it blinding him!! The ball SKIPS off Skippy's hands (they don't call him Skippy for nothing) and hits him in the helmet and deflects into the air!!! Yo-Yo puts his Yo-Yo away and dives for the ball....... His outstretched arms where he then cradled the ball was just INCHES past the 6 yards that were needed. FIRST DOWN ALLEY CATS!

3 plays later, the Cats kick the game clinching FG. Meanwhile, after the catch though, an IRATE CB Skippy McGee is SCREAMING at the official who was standing right there watching the whole thing happen. Skippy's eyeball is still hanging out of the socket from the Yo-Yo blast to his face. He screams, "What about THIS ref?!?!? *Profanity Profanity Profanity* LOOK AT MY EYE?!?!?! Where is the *BLEEPING* Flag??!?!?!"
The official just shrugs and says, "We aren't allowed to call penalties yet. Sorry."
Lucky for Skippy and the Beans, at least there aren't injuries yet either. Therefore he will be able to play the rest of the playoffs with no loss of his amazing cover skills that normally would have been decimated from only having one good eye to see out of.
But Skippy will NEVER forget the day that the Yo-Yo master robbed him of the glory that rightfully belonged to him.........THIS is how rivalries are born!!!!!!!!!!!!
