Hammers Victorious In Final Regular Season Home Game; Extend Win Streak To 3

The Silver Hammers are on a roll, winning their 3rd straight game to improve to a 7-4-1 record and, with only 2 more games remaining, are now guaranteed a winning record for the regular season. In front of a sold out home crowd, the Tony Romo (57 pts) lead Maxwell's Silver Hammers beat division rivals The Leathernecks by a score of 162-123. MSH continued to benefit from strong play at the RB position with Willis McGahee (23 pts) and Jamal Lewis (22 pts) putting up "A-game" numbers. Next, the Hammers take on last year's FFFL Champion Rich Chemistry (8-4) in another intra-division matchup. With a chance to secure a wild-card playoff position, the Hammers will be pumped up for the Thanksgiving weekend battle. So to paraphrase T.O., "Get your turkey legs ready!"


Silver Nuggets: Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr made a surprise appearance for the Hammers' final regular season half-time entertainment show. Joining the former Beatles on stage were Julian Lennon and Dhani Harrison, the sons of the late John Lennon and George Harrison, making the performance the closest thing to a Beatles reunion since George Harrison's passing in 2001. The "Beatles" performed "Hello Goodbye", "Twist and Shout", "Get Back" and of course, "Maxwell's Silver Hammer". However, due to the fact that the mini-concert was not promoted and the track-record of incredibly awful half-time entertainment in previous Hammers home games, nearly all of the sold-out stadium were in line for drinks on the concourse and completely missed the show...Hammers owner, Erick Byrd, in a rare moment of compassion, decided to pardon a Thanksgiving turkey today, borrowing from The President's honored yearly tradition, but then rescinded the decision at the last minute and ordered turkey club sandwich's for the entire team. Said Byrd, "I'm not really a big fan of turkey meat. I just wanted to piss off those wackos at PETA. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!"
