EAST SIDE - WEST SIDE STORY
Black Dogs coach says, 'It's on'
By R.E. Porter, Associated Web Press
The first half of the 2008 NFFA season will close with a prime-time, East-West match-up between the teams with the best records: the league-leading and undefeated East Nashville Black Dogs (6-0) and their division rivals, the West Nashville Beelzebubbas (4-2), who have the second-best record.
The Black Dogs have won 13 consecutive, regular-season games dating back to the seventh game of last season, a one-point loss to the Beelzebubbas. The 'Bubbas also knocked off the Dogs in the opening round of last season's playoffs, 183-153.
Reached at Club Gitmo early this morning where he was celebrating his team's win, but mourning the loss of starting quarterback Tony Romo, Black Dogs coach Jim McMahon admitted that despite his long friendship with Beelezebubbas owner Boyd X. Biggs, this weekend's contest on the West side was "more than a fantasy football game."
Slurring his words, McMahon said, "It's a classic, [expletive] turf war. That [expletive] between Midtown and West Nashville isn't a turf war — it's a [expletive] neighborhood spat. This is East Nasty versus West Nasty, the two best teams in the league. This [expletive] is on."
McMahon paused while someone in the background said something to him, then he continued, "Jorge [Linardo] just reminded me that I am on the West side at this moment and I ought to show some mother-[expletive] respect, so I'll sign off now and resume this train of thought at my weekly gathering of the media tribes Wednesday morning at fooBar, on the East side where free speech is still alive."
When pressed further on the fact that two of the Black Dogs last three losses have been to the Beelzebubbas, McMahon would only say, "That's last season, baby, and therefore, mother-[expletive] ancient history."
