NASHVEGAS — On the eve of his team's visit to 12th Avenue, East Nashville Black Dogs coach Jizzle McMizzle caused a scene yesterday at the annual Octoberfest in the Germantown area of Nashvegas.
According to witnesses attending the event, an obviously drunk McMizzle engaged in a verbal altercation with several Bakers fans.
Jeremy Huff, who was attending the fest with his wife and son, said three young men wearing Bakers merchandise and sporting QCurl tattoos, confronted McMizzle outside one of the beer tents and challenged him about his team's mediocre start.
"The fans started it," Huff said. "It looked like McMizzle was having a hard time staying upright."
Missy Bass, another attendee, said one of the men told the coach he "sucked," to which McMizzle slurred, "I'll have you know that rumor's not true."
Bass said the conversation continued as follows:
"You're going down tomorrow, chump," one of the other men told him.
"I've never lost to the Bakers," McMizzle replied.
"Yeah, you did, dumbass," the first man said. "Last year, next-to-last game, sucka."
"Oh, yeah, you're right, I forgot about that," the coach slurred. "Well, we're still gonna kick your asses."
"Y'all gonna be in Baker Nation, Coach. Y'all may not make it out alive."
Bass said at that point, McMizzle pulled a gun, and mumbled something about they better not make him mad. The first Bakers fan said to the others, "That dude is whack. Let's get outta here," and then started to leave.
As they walked away, McMizzle yelled at them to stop. "I'll tell you one thing," he said loudly. "The curse is gonna get the [expletive] [Fidalgo Island Sea], Hogs. Somebody big on the Hogs is gonna get hurt, probably [expletive] Peyton [Manning, Sea Hogs starting quarterback] — and it could happen this weekend. Write that down."
"I ain't got a pen, Coach, or any [expletive] paper," the first Bakers fan said. "Write it down, your damn self. See ya tomorrow in the nation, sucka."
The curse McMizzle referred to is curse of the NFFA champion. Not only has no champion in the eight-year history of the league been able to repeat, in many cases they had a big fall the following season. With their 4-0 start, there is no evidence the defending champions from Fidalgo Island are suffering any such affliction.
