Upon his return to Nashvegas from Alamo yesterday, East Nashville coach Jim McMahon rushed to the site where his beloved Cherry Bomb Café had stood only hours earlier.
Standing in the burned out rubble, the visibly distraught McMahon said over and over again, "I can't believe it, I just can't believe it," according to Black Dogs PR director Lola Flackmeister. McMahon, who was accompanied by team GM Buddy Ryan, spent about twenty minutes at the site.
The coach issued the following statement this morning:
"Words cannot describe the loss I am feeling at this moment. The thought that I may never enjoy another Touchdown Taser™ is almost more than I can bear. Of course, I'm also concerned about GQ and Devin and Marvin. Later this morning, a group of Black Dogs players and I will travel to Howenwald to survey the situation and find out if there is anything we can do to help with the search for them. Our thoughts and prayers go out to their families."
Speaking by cell phone on his way to Howenwald, McMahon said he had planned to inform Denney when he returned from Alamo that he was going to forget the $20 million bet that Denney lost to him. "At this point, I'd give $20 million to have Q back, safe and sound," the coach said, his voice cracking. After collecting himself, McMahon added, "I still can't believe it."
