Amazing turn-around
Sass predicted to lose again; manager barely cares

After the week 12 games were played, Sass Head Coach Beth Sass didn’t even pause to check the scores. After checking after the third quarter the week before, and being behind by a whooping 95.88 points, Beth didn’t even bother to check the final score (reports drifted back to her that there was no scoring in the fourth quarter, but the Proctorville Pups had let their players’ children come in for final fifteen minutes of play). Predicted final score for the Sass versus leinhartsbabymomma was 70.88- 58.29 in favor of the leinhartsbabymomma. The Sass is not known for overcoming odds--unless the odds favor them.

However, wide receiver Marcus Robinson entered the Head Coach’s office Tuesday morning with a funny look on his face. Beth gently taunted him on the Gophers Men’s hockey trouncing of Michigan on Saturday night. “No, Beth, did you check the final score?”

“Well, I understand that you and Ray Edwards had a pretty good game, yes,” Beth said. “But how much did we lose by this time?”

Marcus eventually had to pull up the League of Zoob page to prove that Beth that the Sass did not actually lose, but won with a final 70.72-64.46.

“Oh, nice palindromic score for the leinhartsbabymomma!” Beth said gleefully, while attempting to contact Rach to get the cupcakes ordered from Ghetto Cub.

A number of Sassians played well above their expected level of play, including Marcus (10.10 points), T.J. Houshmandzadeh (9.95 points), and Ebenezer Ekuban (6.00 points). Conversely, the leinhartsbabymomma had a number of players who phoned in their performances, which was just enough to give the Sass a decisive win.

“I’m not sure if I’m more impressed or confused,” Beth admitted to the press who had gathered outside her office. It was also pointed out that this moved the Sassians up a slot in rankings, ensuring that for one week, at least, the Sass are not last.

“It’s amazing, really,” said Antwaan Randle El, “Before this year, all I cared about was winning. Now? It’s a game. I’m having fun. I think that’s what’s most important.”
