The current engine doesn't really suit my team Monkey , I only ran a lot and played mostly 5-3-3 because it would have been foolish not to... with 4-5 top quality receivers, one of the best QBs around, and lots of loving care and attention invested into the OL, I can't wait for the new engine!!!

Doing analysis on the Celtics was a real adventure this week. Our reporters got a hot tip that some of the Celtics might be training for the Challenge Cup Final at an unmarked building in the middle of the countryside literally miles from the nearest civilisation. So off they trekked, all Alice in Wonderland like (‘curiouser and curiouser’), but despite all manner of subterfuge and bribery attempts they could not find a way into the incredibly well guarded Barn.

They waited and waited..........and as the day turned to dusk, and dusk turned to night, a small, intermittent and definitely secretive and sinister looking stream of men gained enterance to said Barn after rigorous interrogation and some sort of weird handshake/low five with the ‘security staff’.

The mystery deepened and deepened, especially when a Coach pulled up and using night vision goggles the reporters went were able to see “ultimate cage fighters” stencilled on the side. A dozen or so Steroid Junkies debunked into the Barn in an extremely boisterous and clearly Adrenaline (or other substance induced) fashion, and without interrogation.

Within minutes raucous cheers went up followed by a sort of baying chant then an unintelligible mass of shouts and screams which got louder and louder....and louder. Then almost at once, the Barn emptied of men - very very, very rapidly into innumerable vehicles and disappeared in a mass of engine exhaust notes and a very clear hurry.

The Security rushed in, and a few brief seconds later, rushed out. There was no delay in their departure either – they were gone like a fox being pursued by a bunch of extremely starved hounds. One more man rushed out, onto the coach, and off that went in a hurry too - not waiting for its original passengers. After all the commotion, all was suddenly very very still. Knowing the Security had gone, our reporters went down to the Barn....... and THEN, out they came... The Celtics.

The OL and DL were swaggering in a seriously and fantastically cool ‘cat that got the cream’ way that would make any Hollywood Film Star or high end rapper exceptionally jealous. The rest of the Roster surrounded them, high fiving, slapping shoulders and salutations everywhere.

One of the reporters was dumbstruck by the blood on the Lineman’s athletic uniform, and the clearly bruised and swollen knuckles they were sporting, and another went to talk to the QB (who else?) who merely laughed, and by way of explanation pointed to the Barn.

In went our intrepid reporters...... and immediately they threw up their sandwiches and thermos flask coffee. One even fainted. Just as the other two jelly-legged scribes were trying to rouse their stricken comrade, there was the sudden onset of flashing blue lights, and the police (who’d arrived suddenly, silently, and in force) swarmed in.

There was more retching, more fainting and our trio of reporters had to swiftly (and with difficulty considering their condition) flash their Press credentials to avoid ending up in the back of a black Mariah.

Though the time from our reporters leaving the Celtics players - to the time the Police had stormed the Barn and pulled out the stunned reporters had been less than two minutes...... strangely, eerily and VERY mysteriously not a single Celtic was to be seen anywhere.... they had just vanished into the night.

P.S. Yesterdays lead Headline in the ‘Yorkshire Post’ read “14 Cage fighters seriously injured and maimed in illegal Barn fight”. And despite extensive questioning and threats of being prosecuted for obstruction of justice and a stream of other offences, our reporters still steadfastly refuse to reveal their sources. The males in our staff room applaud their complete and utter Professionalism............ the Females on our staff have a very different theory.

There’s an interesting report filtering down through from the Home Counties. There seems to be a bit of a rucous at the Launder and Gilliat (named after two great British legends) Ladies only Health Spa.

The entire Spa had been fully booked out by the Pawn Star organisation as both an end of Season treat for Youth, Junior and Senior Cheerleading squads as well as a final Training and pamper headquarters for the Starting Cheerleaders. However, apparently the Spa staff are more than a bit dubious about the truth of the booking - and the validity of some of the guests as actual Cheerleaders.

Meanwhile, the English Football association are fuming and threatening all sorts of legal action at a last minute cancellation of a major booking by the Pawn Stars at their new super douper 7* star, all singing, all dancing facility with chocolate sprinkles on top.

Back at the Spa, there clearly are a number of very attractive, fit and tanned guests who need little more than a pedicure or manicure..... but absolutely no youths or Juniors at all. Instead there are 60 or 70 mixed shaped and sized women who look fit enough, but perhaps should have been referred to a Plastic Surgeon specialist rather than a health and fitness centre. And there are number oddities that really concern the staff:

Why is it that the extremely nubile Cheerleaders run around the entire complex in little more than thongs and 2 handkerchiefs strung together - laughing, giggling and not at all interested in any of the luxury treatments available, whist the remainder of the party either skulk around (almost guiltily) looking like the late great Les Dawson in his Drag act, or prance around like the Lady boys of Bangkok. And they aren’t interested in any of the treatments either.

Following on from this, why is that the only facilities being used (constantly) are the Indoor Pool and adjoining Sauna, Steam, and individual Treatment rooms? And why is it that the Female 20 Stone plus former East European shot-putting Security Staff won’t allow any non Pawn Star access to this area. Not even the Spa centre manager, despite her increasing worry about the excessive screams, shouts, raucousness and very loud music clearly coming from within?

Why is the Michelin Starred health food restaurant completely empty, with Chefs and waiting staff sitting on their hands, whilst delivery after delivery of Pizza, Beer and White wine spritzers are being deposited outside the room block, which is fiercely guarded by posh speaking attractive young ladies in heavily altered school uniforms (very short skirts, suspenders, blouses heavily undone etc etc) wielding lacrosse sticks for “protection”?

The cleaners do not dare to attempt to get past these 'packs' of young ‘ladies’, meanwhile the night-watchman for the Spa is adamant he has seen all sorts of strange acts through the windows whilst doing his rounds – Mass Pillow fights and midnight feasts being the only thing this reporter dares put on paper (rumours of a race-horse being smuggled in, are as yet un-confirmed).

Meanwhile the Pawn Stars CEO is at the moment completely unavailable and unreachable to this reporter, and all I can report is our last brief interview a few days ago where he was content and laid-back, and happy that the Pawn Stars were huge underdogs in the upcoming Final against the Celtics.....

“Well, I think we’ve got two options when getting ready for this match. Either we can go the whole nine yards - train, train, train and prepare in every scientific way possible. Or we can let the guys relax, blow off some steam, and let their self confidence swell”.

When I spoke to the Spa Centre Manager who sounded like she was in nuclear melt-down - babbling almost incoherently over the phone, the only point I could really make out was that the leader of this 'unruly and unmoralled rabble' (direct quote) kind of bore a resemblance to the late Actor Alistair Sim when he was in playing the role of ‘Headmistress Fritton’ in certain old classic British Films.........

Pawn Stars @ the Celtics
Well I've got the Celtics as favourites by at least 18 in this one, anybody else like to make a prediction?

Creative "news" reports, athos! I will miss your previews. And I think you've got the Pawn Stars figured out btw.

Personally, I wouldn't bet against Celtics either, but 18 points is a bit harsh since it's difficult to score more than 2 TDs against us (or at least so I hope..).

My tip: It's my last chance to win anything this season, in fact my 1st ever trophy in this game, and I hope I can surprise a few. However, more likely that Celtics will win by 7.
