“Quite appropriately, the Hairy Eyeball Cup Finals were as epic and hair-pullingly intense as the entire season. The Carpetbaggers and Team El Rapido spent the first half beating each other into submission, as El Rapidos sneaky and maleficient hired cheaters went into action, throwing bombs like it was going out of style and wandering around the field with chainsaws as though it were a sunny stroll in the park. Additionally, El Rapidos wizard was throwing around fireballs with limited sucess. At the end of the 1st period, however, the defenses of both teams remained resolute, and nobody had scored.
The Second half was more of the same. El Rapido opened the cage of thier ball-and-chain fanatic and unleashed him on the stalwart dwarves. Unfortunately, he wore himself out before he could do much damage to either side. As the Champion City faithful had killed the officiating crew over some percieved laspe in judgement, the Carpetbaggers took advantage and agressively fouled the hated orcs. There were some tense moments and close calls on both sides, but at the end of regulation, we were still scoreless!!
As we went into overtime, the players began to show some fatigue after the hard-fought first halves- many double skulls were rolled. The Carpetbaggers recieved the kickoff and began thier march up the field. After a nasty defensive stand by the orcs, the dwarves were forced to reverse direction and move up the opposite sideline. The game was sealed~ OR WAS IT?!? As the dwarf runners were charging up the sideline, a brave goblin, off by himself, ran up and managed to knock the ball-carrier to the ground!! Would the momentum of the game turn to Team Rapido's favor? Sadly no. The Carpetbaggers managed to recover the loose ball, and in a brilliant display of master clock-control managed to score the winning TD on the last turn of Overtime.
Truely an unbelievably epic and hard-fought battles, as these two bitter rivals finally discovered exactly what they were made of, when everytingh was on the line.
Viva los Carpetbaggers!!!!”

The coach of Team El Rapido learned the error of relying on crazy ass star players. As a result he played most of the game a man or two down. Team El Rapido, however, true to form stopped the dwarves cold in the first and second halfs.
Aptly named Stumblor failed a 2+ roll in the second half to win the match. Sadly no rerolls were available for use as an absent minded Black Orc had used it lumbering uselessly around the field dodging for no particular reason and with no intent to do so.
You can't make mistakes like that against the Champion City Carpetbaggers and the gods decided to mock any orcish plans for victory. The failed dodge also left several players vulnerable to the dwarven violence and Team El Rapido lost another two players needlessly.
Interviewed after the game, coach Guerra cursed the crappy performance of his hired guns and lamented the loss. He was, however, content with his wizards performance despite knocking only 1 out of a potential 4 dwarves with his fireball.
A rematch is already in the works and, whatever the results, you can bet your sack (of gold) that it'll be grizzled.”
