Mojo Jojo Returns to Midtown!


"The original inspiration for the Midtown Mojo is back" -- simian super-villain Mojo Jojo


Mojo Jojo Returns to Midtown!


By Soren Bernyn, FSN

Nearly two years since he left the Midtown NFFA franchise that bears his name, the simian super-villain Mojo Jojo has returned as the team's "heart and soul," according to Mojo D.

At the team's latest media availability at the newly remodeled Jojo-A-Go-Go, an abnormally jubilant Mojo D welcomed back Jojo: "Jojo was the original inspiration for this team, and Miss Lee-Yhn suggested -- nay, demanded -- his return. She pointed out to me: our record has been 3-15 since we sent Jojo away - coincidence?" Watch highlights from Mojo D's media availability below:


A few tidbits you won't find in the video:
The Mojo resurrected a team tradition by throwing Darren McFadden out of the team plane for scoring zero points. "We broke with tradition at Jojo's request however," Mojo D said. "We used to throw a parachute out after the player, this week we threw out Allen Rossum who also scored a goose egg. That's 4 out the door this season. "

This week's match-up of the two winless NFFA franchises could be a turning point for either one. The Scouts scored a historic low-point total in Week 4, and the Mojo could muster only 86 points. "There are times it looks like a slow-motion trainwreck," the Midtown owner/coach/GM said, "but there is no one to lay it on but Mojo D. I'm leaving points on the bench, and the guys aren't playing to win. But we have Mojo Jojo back in the fold and a couple of couches at the Jojo-A-Go-Go, so I think the boys will loosen up a but and start having fun again -- nothing but success could follow that."

Mojo D also ranted for a good bit about the Cambridge Animals and Dave the Animal, saying "the Animals scare me -- Dave and his happy little band of merry cranksters could run the table."
