“Today was a good day to be a Blade Runner. I was just finalizing the payment details for our latest gig, when news came down the wire right after the first kick-off. The department had authorized unlimited use of Voight-Kampf test resources. I made the call to the sidelines and let the boys know, then settled down and ordered a bottle of Taiwanese vodka to watch the festivities. I was not disappointed.

The boys took the boots to anyone they could and wouldn't you know it - they retired a replicant. It made me all warm inside. That or the booze. And Phil Resch, he was still on a roll. He'd gotten a derringer out onto the field, grabbed a rogue replicant and capped him. Splattered everywhere. The other team scored, but we'd made our point. We evened it up at the half.

Then things started to fall apart a little. The boys were all cocky, swarming upfield without minding defense. We almost made it into position to score then all of the sudden they were in our backfield. A little hustle, and the threat was contained, just in time. We got a tie, but with the replicants we retired, it feels like a win.”
