We met up straightaway with one of the few real gentlemen in the game, jetto:

Question 1.
Your running workload is split down the middle between RB Keith and RB Lemarchand. Lemarchand is the red zone weapon while Keith is your north to south runner it seems. RB Marius Pirktl however has only played a few snaps but has impressed fans. What is the chance we will start to see more of Pirktl?

Ha, actually Pirktl is my BU FB and just set for RB for training. You won't see him much (hopefully). But nice you recognized my two star RB's. I'm proud of them. But I don't know why Lemarchand scores more TD's - maybe because he's listed at Nr. 2 and plays with an higher energy Level than the starters...


Question 2.
Is M Divers your bogey team? You have not beaten him yet although every time it's been pretty close. A TV commentator pointed the finger at mental weakness of your players as the cause of this. What do you have to say to that?

Na, I highly respect thomastem and there are no mental mistakes with my players (but maybe with me). I would be glad to win one against him of course (and Vienna Falcons ) but I won't complain if I'm loosing (but man, I would love to win the division and play at home in the PO).
And maybe your team fits better as my bogey teams



Question 3.
What do you think will be the deciding factor in this game?

Well, no mistakes, win TO battle and hope my RB's can produce 1st Downs or make 3rd Downs manageable.

We met up with a philosophical thomastem in a famous chicken fast food chain from the US to discuss the upcoming match-up:

Question 1.
Basterds run a smashmouth offense. Your defense is 2nd in the league in scoring but that is mostly of interceptions, not fumbles. Is your team set up to deal with that style of running play?

No. My defense is setup to play the best pass defense in the game 3-1-7. Fortunately the Basterds like to mix it up so we always see plenty of passing from them.


Question 2.
You undoubtedly will call yourself the underdog in this game :-) and perhaps rightly so this time. However Basterds have never beaten you. You seem to have their number every time. Why is that you think?

Season 19 I was in Thunder 2.2 and ready to leave the game due to the boring time I was having playing in a league full of bots. I started challenging 1.1 and testing game plans against them. First time I played Jetto was such a friendly and his team won by 4 or 5 with my team out of time in the red zone.

EDITORIAL NOTE: this is the game thomastem is referring to.

Those friendlies that season were enough to keep me around and were the only fun I had that season.

As you can see the Basterds have beaten us. They have substantially higher salaries and more talent than the Divers plus they are at home. We don't believe we have their "number" and will take a perfect game and luck for us to win.



Question 3.
What do you think will be the deciding factor in this game?

We believe we have sacrificed more chickens than the offspring of adulterers. Probably ate more fried chicken than them as well. Chicken. I believe chicken will be the difference.

A history lesson by thomastem. Liking it. This game just got a bit more interesting that it already was!

Great game Jetto. I have to find a d-line and LBs before we can play with your team and that will not be this season. Even Wisengrund's run defense is rated lower than mine so unless you pass the ball i don't see anyone stopping except for your kryptonite Mr. Cheezy.

It's yours to lose.
