  • Phantoms win, 'Dogs lose... Something Wicked This Way Comes!

    By Spark Wonup
    Lawrence Sun Times


    Tobias Stanfield, one week after his 34th birthday, showed his youth in rocking a 155.2 passer rating while leading the Phantoms to an enormous victory over the talented Firebirds and their vaunted defense.

    Coming into the game the majority analysis was that the Phantoms offense wasn't of the caliber that could expect to have it's way with this season's stellar Firebird D. They needed to take what they could and hope for some breaks.

    Well that's exactly what happened as the Phantoms didn't turn the ball over once and picked up two huge plays from TE Travis Kleman (46yd TD) and SE Dana Glover (80yd TD), who's been the hot target of Stanfield in the recent winning streak.

    The defense, stacked at the line in respect of All-World talent Bobby Osbourne, did it's part - with help from some timely Montreal penalties - and now the Phantoms host the hated Bulldogs in one of Broke As Fuck Field's biggest regular season games in history!

    Should Lawrence win they'll be in a tie for first place a mere 5 weeks after being the worst team in the league with a 1-8 record! The mood around Essex County could best be described as hysterical. Chants of "Beat... Dem... Bull... Dogs!" started before today's game even finished.

    Folks I've seen every Phantom game since the start of this here IFL thing and I tell you I am fuckin' stoked for this one! Phantom Phans start drinking early... break out your purple and black gear... get your tailgate on... and root these guys back into the playoff picture with 2 weeks to go!!!

    This is Spark Wonup signing off and running shirtless through the street...

      If we finally have a winning season in my lifetime, perhaps we will get our actual 'Firebirds' name in the next article :-)

            Your late season run is pretty impressive Jester. Most teams would have packed it in after starting 1-8 and start playing the young guys. You never lost hope and look at Lawrence now. Could be in first place with a victory Sunday and your schedule looks easier then Newarks the rest of the way.

            Kudos!

                  what exactly is a firebird? do they even exist? show me a picture of real life one. what a stupid team name, based off of something that isn't even real.

                  can't wait for the Chicago PotatoDogs to join the league.

                    Unfortunately no. I see the pesky Mountaineers flanking the other side of this war against Newark.

                    There's gonna be quite a collision at the "top" of the NC East in the next 3 weeks. I'm just hoping to be the team limping away and forward when it ends.

                      In Slavic folklore, the Firebird (жар-птица, zhar-ptitsa, literally heat bird from птица bird Old Russian жар heat) is a magical glowing bird from a faraway land, which is both a blessing and bringer of doom to its captor.

                        Correct, they are so much more fake then a guy flying around in blue tights with a cape.

                            A Firebird is like a Phoenix, the mythical bird that rises from the ashes to do stuff. Also a damn fun Atari game.
