MCMAHON ANNOUNCES REVELATION OF RARE QUATRAIN
By R.E. Porter, Associated Web Press
At a hastily called press conference this morning at the East Nashville training facilities, Black Dogs coach Jim McMahon announced that a rare and prophetic quatrain had been revealed to him during a dream last night.
"It was better than a wet dream," McMahon said of the alleged prophetic dream. "It was all technicolor and everything, and this tall man with long, grey hair and a dark flowing robe spoke to me.
"He said, 'I am Nostra-dumbass and I have a message from the future for you in the form of a quatrain.' So I naturally said, 'Lay it on me, big guy.'
"Then he said:
'There once was a man named Bobber,
Who was known to occasionally slobber.
But he wasn't to blame
'Cause he's criminally insane;
Still, in week 10, he will get clobbered'
"Clearly," McMahon continued, "Nostra-dumbass was referring to our payback game with the Sea Hogs this weekend here in East Nashville."
When a reporter pointed out that the rhyme was not a quatrain, but a limerick, the coach said, "Tell that to Nostra-dumbass — he wrote it."
Another reporter asked if the alleged dreamworld apparition said anything else to him. "Well, actually, he did say a couple more things," McMahon said. "He told me he liked the Dogs over the Hogs, even giving up the five points. He also said he was sorry to hear about the Cherry Bomb and that he hoped they find GQ Denney alive and well."
