MIDTOWN MOJO ANNOUNCE LATEST COACHING CHANGE

Otto Pilot, the fourth and final Mojo coach of the 2008 season


MIDTOWN MOJO ANNOUNCE LATEST COACHING CHANGE

By Soren Bernyn, Fantasy Sports News

Midtown Mojo owner Mojo D has thrown in the towel

In a grainy 18-second video broadcast via cell-phone from Las Vegas on Tuesday, he said he was "disgusted, disillusioned and just plain dissed" and introduced the "Mojo's final coach," Otto Pilot, who first came to notoriety in the 1979 movie "Airplane!" With that, he threw back his head, laughed silently and flipped a switch, inflating the team's new coach.

The video then went black, and there has been no communication from anyone on Planet Mojo since. The new coach had no comment for reporters.

Police fear Midtown owner on the lam?

Metro police expected the owner of the Midtown Mojo at police headquarters this morning to be questioned in connection to the shooting of NFFA commissioner William D. Money, but Mojo D never arrived and is nowhere to be found.

Mojo D had agreed to be questioned by police about the shooting, but requested that the questioning be delayed until the completion of his team's game against the East Nashville Black Dogs last night — a loss which left them with the league's worst record. When Mojo D didn't show up for his appointment, Lt. Fred Murphy put in a call to attorney L.S. DeHayes, who is representing the Midtown owner. DeHayes said Mojo D was supposed to meet him at his office at 9 a.m., but was a no-show. Murphy said the attorney has been assisting the police in their efforts to locate the missing owner.

Unable to locate him at his home or at Mojo headquarters, the police issued an all-points bulletin at 12:57 p.m. CDT asking law enforcement agencies across the country to be on the look out for the Mojo owner.

As his team's fortunes have plummeted, Mojo D's behavior has become more and more erratic, rollercoasting between despondency and manic ranting. He has lashed out at a number of high-profile figures in the NFFA, but none more frequently or vehemently than Money. Mojo D was especially outraged over the commissioner's recent suspension of injured-star-quarterback-turned-coach Tom Brady. In a public tirade last week, he described Money's actions as "unAmerican" and called him a "dangerous sociopath." As a result, the police are providing round-the-clock protection to the commissioner at an undisclosed location.

More on this breaking story as it develops.
