Hammers Forfeit Remainder Of Preseason


In yet another unprecedented move, rogue head coach Erick Byrd cancels the remaining Hammers' preseason games just hours before the third scrimmage. After two back-to-back dismal showings against rival teams Peon Gorillas and Agate Types (losing 56-10 and 72-3, respectively), the Silver Hammers have decided to forfeit the remaining two scrimmages. "We believe that the team is ready and doesn't need to exert any more energy than necessary", said Byrd. "We have some aging stars that need the rest and it's doesn't make sense to risk the injuries." Many fantasy football analysts are criticizing the move, saying Byrd just doesn't want any more embarrassment for his team and equating the move to an "immature spoiled brat taking his ball and going home." Byrd stated that while the Silver Hammers' official FFFL preseason games will not be played, the team will be scrimmaging with local Pop Warner teams to warm up for the regular season.
