Fish Hook shocks Timinators

Mean Machines win 3rd place

Fish Hook 35, Timinators 33  Beiruit, Lebanon “YOUR REIGN IS OVER, PAL!” were the first words from Fish Hook (9-7) coach J.D. Lewis as he accepted the Putty Boy trophy after his stunning 35-33 victory over the heavily favored Timinators (10-5) in the Governor’s Cup Grand Final XI on Sunday amid heavy security in Beiruit.  Fish Hook running back Eddie George was the game’s MVP leading the way with 176 yards and 3 touchdowns

At the post game press conference, Timinators coach Tim Kelly was less than gracious in defeat– “we got screwed”, “the refs handed them the game”, “I demand a recount” and “who is Brandon Stokley?” were just s few of the comments made by the 6 time champion before storming off.

It was the first recorded playoff loss in Timinators history.

The celebration lasted well into the night as some of the 41,273 fans who attended the game attempted to hijack the Timinator team plane as it attempted to depart.  There are conflicting reports as to their success but it is confirmed they did manage to take several hostages.

Mean Machines 51, Phat Bastards 40 Old Crow, Yukon, Canada  Running back Warrick Dunn’s 145 yards and 3 TD’s rallied the Mean Machines (11-5) to the Vanier Cup with a win over the Phat Bastards (11-4) in Old Crow before an announced crowd of 1,101 with 985 no shows.

Afterwards, winning coach Shannon Kelly was not at all complimentary towards his opponent.  Several personal foul penalties by Phat Bastards players in the 4^th quarter heated tempers in the -25 degree cold.  “they’re nothing but a bunch of Bastards – I have no respect for them” Kelly remarked.

The celebration honoring the Machines win has been delayed.  Inclement weather, no flights in or out of the area, and a lack of hot water for showering has left both teams stranded indefinitely
