Despite concerns over the NFFA's direction, Corsairs' GM Mojo D was exuberant over Corsairs' recent wins

In an impromptu Sunday night media throw-down, Corsairs' Owner/GM Mojo D was enthusiastic about his teams' close wins the past two weeks -- a 190.5 - 186.5 buzzer-beater over the Cambridge Animals, and a 9-point victory in Week 10 over the Black Dogs at the infamous Dawg House.
"The team is playing at a high level, and scored the most points both weeks. It's clear that we are ready to defend our 2012 championship and make a run at an historic NFFA Championship repeat." (note: no team has ever repeated as NFFA champion) "The NFFA Power Ranking has us at the top, and we are especially proud of the league-leading coaching efficiency rating -- you're doing a heck of a job, Ray-Ray!!"
But the Corsairs' owner sounded a an angry note regarding recent developments with the NFFA. "I see a disturbing trend: the League seems to have adopted a culture of not bullying." He made public a recent message from William D. Money, owner of the East Nashville Black Dogs and former commissioner of the NFFA. Titled simply "congrats," the email says in part "Good win, Mojo D" and closes with a smiley emoticon. The Corsairs owner was agitated and stated emphatically: "this sort of genteel, gracious sportsmanship has no place in a profane, violent fantasy-sports world, and is evidence of a 'Nancy-boy' infiltration of the culture of the league."
"However, I do realize that Money suffered a massive brain trauma last season, and I'm no neurologist, but like Meemaw (Murrman, current NFFA commissioner) says: 'that boy ain't been right since.'" The Corsairs GM took a moment to compose himself, and added: "At the same time, these last two games have been very emotional: in both wins, the Corsairs were the only team in the league that could have defeated my opponents. After all that sh*t we went through in the early days of Methlon - Q, Animal, Biggs, Money and me, too, slaving away for Big McKwan - there's a bond there, and I hate to see a strong effort not pay off for people who at one time, at least, I had some modicum of respect for."
Looking forward to the Corsairs' week 11 tilt with the 12th Avenue Bakers, Mojo D turned the mic over to coach Ray Lewis: "Our strategy is the same every week: we are very simply going to f*ck them up. And tell QCurl Sharif he should not ride his bike to the game." Lewis' thinly veiled reference to Sharif's still-unsolved, off-season bicycle accident got the attention of at least one reporter, but the rest were distracted by Mojo D's proclamation that "The Corsairs Victory bar is open!"
