MCMAHON TO QCURL: 'SAYING AIN'T DOING'


By R.E. Porter, Associated Web Press

East Nashville head coach Jim McMahon was relaxing with a Morning Glory margarita at fooBar when his cell phone rang late Thursday afternoon. The caller wondered if McMahon had any response to 12th Avenue owner QCurl Sharif's prediction earlier that day that the 3-1 Bakers would put a "royal beating" on McMahon's 4-0 Black Dogs this weekend at Grey Goose stadium.

After being assured Sharif had actually made that prediction, McMahon said, "Well, I've got a message for QCurl: 'Saying ain't doing.' Talk to me after you do it."

McMahon went on to point out: "The Bakes have three wins, but two of them are against the winless Scouts and Mojos, and they haven't even played anyone over .500, so now we'll see how they handle a good team.

"But speaking of the Mojo, that reminds me," the coach continued after ordering another margarita, "I heard Midtown was like a ghost town after the game Monday night. I heard some Midtown residents were calling the team the Ghost Town Mojo. And did you notice that some of their fans at the game were wearing paper bags over their heads with the words Midtown NoNos written on them? I left a message for the Pompatus of Love offering my condolences, but she hasn't hit me back yet."

On a related note, Mojo D left his sensory deprivation chamber this afternoon long enough to send an email obtained by the AWP in which he predicted "the Mojo will run the table in the division." When McMahon learned of this claim, he said, "More likely, the Mojo will leave the table and run to the bathroom."
