Silver Hammers Fell Another Giant To Streak Into Playoffs With 5 Straight Wins

'Once upon a time there was a boy named Jack, who sold his prize cow for some magic beans...' Maxwell's Silver Hammers have embodied the spirit of the fabled character from the Jack And The Beanstalk fairy tale to defeat yet another FFFL giant by a score of 166-145. The upset win against the #1 ranked Las Cruces Fightin' Powder Puffs keeps the Hammers rolling into the playoffs with their 5th consecutive win. And it was "deja vu all over again" reminiscent of MSH's week 10 defeat of The Curley Wolves, who at that time had the best record in the league. Seeded 4th in the upcoming FFFL playoffs, the Hammers confidence is soaring with the knowledge that they have beaten the #1 and #2 seeds and have battled to a week 1 draw versus the #3 seed Texas Thunderbolts. This weeks star players were Tony Romo (58 pts), Willis McGahee (28 pts) and the Baltimore Ravens defense (who do not play for the Hammers, but held the Puffs' Tom Brady to 40 pts). Next week's matchup is against the 5th seeded 2006 FFFL Champion Rich Chemistry in the much anticipated re-match to settle the 1-1 regular season draw.

Silver Nuggets: The town of Bucksnort is all a buzz, as this week's win clinches the 4th seed and therefore the first ever post-season game in The Quarry, right? Well, maybe. It seems that MSH officials, thinking the chances of a home game in the playoffs as likely as Lindsey Lohan joining AA, have already booked the stadium for the 43rd Annual Convention Of the Grand Mystic Royal Order Of the Nobles of the Ali Baba Temple of the Shrine. But inside sources say that head Shriner, Illustrious Potentate (better known as Bubba) has agreed to move the convention to the local Motel 8 as long as he and his friend Coy can have tickets to the game. ...While Hammers owner, Erick Byrd, claims that his recent trip to California was merely to "urge the TV writers guild to end their strike so [he] can see Lost sometime this season", the rumor mill continues to churn out reports of Byrd shopping in other markets for a new stadium. Recently, he was said to be considering such thriving metropoli as Sucker Flat, CA, Blue Ball, DE, Roachtown, IL, Beans Corner Bingo, ME, Nimrod, MN, Tick Bite, NC, Nuttsville, VA, and Big Ugly, WV. Also in the running is Houston, TX, reportedly so that Byrd's friend Charles Gordon can have a decent football team in town.
