Game
Over

The Armageddon had risen up to it's wretched
opressors by ending there last 2 regular season matchups and then killing the
Hurricanes in there first ever playoff matchup 38-3. The second half of the
season was a bad one for the Armageddon but even tho the bones may have broken
there spirit never died they managed to squeeze a victory somewhere in between
that losing streak and won the last 2 games. Coach Knoll was mad and yelled
at the players but still thought they did an excellent job. Rumors are swirling
around that he may gone but that's just a rumor as of now.
Next year the Armageddon will no doubt
seek payment for thy known anguish and will try to vindicate the souls of the
unavenged Armageddon fans. "Once the smoke clears and things start to settle
I'm sure things will be better and our team will start looking forward to next
year" said Frank to the Media. "This was my first full season as a
team owner and my team made it to the play-offs so that is an accomplishment
in itself" said Frank. "I hope to do the same for the Skullsmashers
when there season starts again in the MLF". "By the way does anyone
have an extra crack pipe I can borrow" Frank said after the interview was
over and 3 of the reporters present graciously handed him there pipes. Frank
shed a tear and then said in tears " Now that's love"
The Armageddon did a good job by taking
the lead at the half 21-17 but fall flat in the second half and the Panthers
continued to score.

Recap
The
Armageddon crush The Hurricanes 38-3
The Armageddon offense exploded on
the field today and the defense stuffed The Hampton offense

Wildcard Week 2004
The Armageddon jumped ahead early and never
looked back as they crushed the Hurricanes. Not much to talk about here except
with what the Hurricanes plan to do during the offseason to fix what went wrong.
Next week the Armageddon face Michigan. Michigan fell to the Armageddon during
the season but was riddled with injuries. This time around they will be tougher
that for sure. If The Armageddon can play like they did this week they have
a good chance to advance to conference finals. No comment or post game press
conference was held after the game.

The
Armageddon secure a playoff spot
Walt Suggs ran allover the Voltigeur defense
all night long

Week 17 2004
"Not only did we secure a playoff
spot for our team but we also ended the season on a good note and somewhere
down the line that's gonna be very important" Coach Knoll told the media.
"We came thru when we needed to and despite that setback we still have
the number 1 defense and the number 5 ranked offense". "All in all
things are looking great andnone of our teammates are worried" said Quarterback
Billy Jackson at there post game game conference. The Armageddon pretty much
had control of this game at all times. Despite only being up by 4 points at
the half. When player of the game Walt Suggs was asked this question his response
was "if I get more than 30 carries I'm sure we'll win". "It's
all about stats and getting all the glory for me." said Suggs "As
you well know there has been a heated dispute between Walt Suggs and Rookie
Receiver Stan Bailey. Both we're complaining about not getting the ball enough
thru out the season. When Stan Bailey was asked the same question he said he
wanted to help the team win and his dispute with Mr. Suggs was over. But then
soon after a fight ensued in the parking lot between the 2 players. They was
alot of slapping and hair pulling.

Will
injuries kill this team in the playoffs

With Running Back Emlen Hayman out with
a Broken foot he's Doubtful for 2- 4 weeks and there second round choice Outside
Linbacker Mark Benjamin might be out for the rest of the season, that might
definitely hurt the Armageddon if they don't have him in the backfield another
Linebacker that is out for the count is Fred Parker and he has an ankle sprain
he is questionable 2-4 weeks. We might see him return if the Armageddon can
stay alive long enough. They will definitely need him out there that's for sure.
Guard Ken Leber has an ankle sprain he might return in 2 weeks but it is not
certain. Last but not least Tight End Scott Woodson who has a Hyperextended
Ankle. Scott is not crucial injury but he is a decent blocker and open things
up for the offense by letting O.J. Davis catch a few passes here and there.
These Injuries have not been a major factor so far despite
having that losing streak towards the end. Fans
are concerned that it might do them in when it comes down to the wire.
The
Armageddon get a rare victory against the Missiles

Week 16 2004
As you well know the Armageddon went from
a shoe in to make the play-offs to struggling to make it to the play-offs. They
got a very important win tonight that might be the win that gets them in if
they win the next game against the Voltigeurs or if they lose they gotta hope
Alaska loses also against a very tough Michigan team which might happen because
Michigan is favored to take that game. Both Long Beach and Seattle are out of
the running so it's between Alaska and Los Angeles now.
Despite the recent struggle that this team
underwent Coach Knoll is extremely happy that none of his players panic'd and
kept there cool thru out this ordeal. "I'm glad we didn't lose all our
games thru this slump and managed to get out with 2 wins in between which really
will help us in the end" said Knoll while taking a leak in the guys locker
room. The player of the Game O.J. (Juiceman) Davis said that he's confident
that his team will win the next game and do good in the play offs. The Missiles
we're never really in this game despite rushing for over 100+ yards. No comment
was made to the press by the Islip Missiles. This game itself might've knocked
them out of the play-offs.

The
Armageddon continue to crumble

Week 15 2004
The Armageddon rolled the dice against
the gamblers and got snake eyes as they lose 20-12. If the cards of life we're
dealt to the Armageddon this night. There hand would be a ruthless fate as they
continue to crumble. Some folks blame injuries and some blame the players lack
of consistency and some of the players blame Billy Jackson's girlfriend for
dumping in front of 63,000 people after that great win against Alaska. Which
obcourse is the last time they won. While others are blaming the Eskimo curse
that an Alaska fan placed on the team when they beat the crap out of him after
that game. Will the Armageddon vindicate the woefull tears of the unavenged
or will they continue to crumble. The team is confident and feel the 4 horsemen
will ride and the trumpets blow in due time. "We just gotta wake up and
smell the manure" said Quarterback Billy Jackson. "We got some okay
teams coming up and we know that time to wake up is now. So all those fans who
feel decieved FEAR NOT we will conquer all" and "If we don't then
we sincerely apologize to all our fans" said Billy to the fans at the press
conference.
Coach Knoll and owner Frank really had
nothing to say this week.

Armageddon
comeback falls short they lose 31-34
Picture below shows Trumaine Anderson leaping
over the line for a 1 yard TD Run

Week 14 2004
The Armageddon jumped ahead by scoring
0 points in the first quarter. The Powerhouse came roaring back by scoring a
whopping 21 points in the 2nd quarter and taking a 21-17 lead at the half. They
carried there dominance over to the 3rd
quarter by scoring 10 points and holding the Armageddon scoreless in that quarter.
The Armageddon scored 14 points in the 4th quarter after being down 31-17 to
tie the game but failed the momentum they we're riding on halted when The Powerhouse
scored a field goal to edge them out 31-34. The Armageddon have lost 3 of there
last 4 games and are holding on for dear life to the division lead. Lucky for
them Long Beach the other teams in there division have struggling as well. Armageddon
players are not worried they feel they can get it together and beat the Gamblers
next week. Fans are worried as attendance
has slowly been dropping despite the fact that it was free Alcohol and hookers
night at the ball game. Kids under 10 years of age pay half price.

Armageddon
loses to Oklahoma 10-6

The Armageddon lose to the BlueFOX in a
low scoring affair. Coach Knoll as well as fans are starting to get nervous
now. I don't blame them because now the Armageddon are close to losing the iron
grip they had on there division. They might not even make the play-offs for
that matter if they continue to lose. "By far this is the most humiliating
loss we have ever suffered" said Coach Knoll "If we can't win the
games we're supposed to win then it's over for us" Coach Knoll stormed
out of the press conference crying like a little girl after that last comment.
Rumor has it that he tried to get Terry Bradshaw and Franco Harris out of retirement
to actually play for the team. Fans we're baffled and the former NFL stars told
Chucky that he was nuts.

Anyway as you can see this game was over
at the half
2
Game losing streak comes to an end as the Armageddon take care of the Centurions
24-15

5/31/2004
The Armageddon made this one look sorta
easy they struggled a little on the first 3 quarters but they stayed within
striking distance and in the fourth quarter they put the nail in the coffin
by scoring 11 points. The Centurions pretty much had control of the whole game
from the get go but just fell apart in the 4th quarter. "We don't know
what happened to us in the 4th quarter" said Mark (The Hooker) Easy. "I
tried to rally the team in ways you can't imagine but failed miserably"
"I'm not too stressed out" said Mark "we're only 1 game behind
Pennsylvania for the Division lead" After those kind words by QB Mark (The
Hooker) Easy he fell to the ground and started twitching uncontrollably. Paramedics
responded quickly and took him to a nearby Hospital and told the press that
he just had a nervous breakdown and will be okay for next week's game.
As for the Armageddon they picked the right
time to break that losing streak because they got some tough teams ahead in
the coming weeks. Alot of people we're expecting them to go down because of
the snow but that was not the case. Owner Frank was relieved that the team finally
won. Coach Knoll was happy as well and took his team to the (yup you guessed
it) to the local strip bar.

The
Long Beach Storm upset the Armageddon 47-41 in an overtime thriller that will
forever be known as the Big One.
The picture below shows Jon Pinkston burning
the mighty Aramageddon defense on a 97 YD TD Run

5/23/2004
What a game that was and once again the
fans left the field in shock as the Armageddon let a 38-10 halftime lead slip
away. As Long Beach 31 points in the second. The Armageddon tried to rally back
by scoring 10 points in the 4th quarter. But apparently it wasn't enough and
a missed field goal late in the 4th sent this game to overtime where The Long
Beach Storm won it with a touchdown. Despite Stan Bailey finally breaking the
100 yard barrier and Walt Suggs running over 100 yards yet again. The Armageddon
still managed to throw this game away despite of this. Coach Knoll is furious
and hopes the team can get back on trak with a win next week. Coach Knoll nor
Frank spoke to the media following the game. They chose a very bad time to slide
cuz next week they travel to Chicago to take on the Centurions and then the
week after that they gotta face the Pennsylvania Powerhouse another tough team
that is quickly moving up the rankings. The one player who did speak to the
media Quarterback Billy Jackson said he played with a mousetrap lodged in in
his penus OUCH!!! and that's why they lost.
The media nodded there heads and left the
press room in disgust.
The Aramgeddon was in a position to get
Homefield advantage thru out the play offs and had a nice lead on there Division.
But now they might not even win there Division cuz Long Beach is only 1 game
behind there tail now and quite possibly might not make the playoffs at all
if they keep losing. Fans are still optimistic and feel that this is just a
minor slip up. A total of 68,382 fans
attended tonight's game and only 171 of those fans died today which is a major
decrease that made Stadium officials very happy.

Facts: Fan Support

5/20/2004
Even though the Armageddon have yet to
sell out a game Fan support has been pretty much level and the Team has managed
to fill 88% of there seats on average. The Average fan consumes a keg of beer
and eats 12 hot dogs. 2 out of every ten fans never make it to the restroom
on time to releive themselves. 4 out of every ten fans gets in a car accident
because they we're drinking too much after the game. and 1 or 2 out of the bunch
drive there car into the field and attempt and try to run over the opposing
team's players. If opposing team fans show up they get beat up and eaten by
the friendly neighborhood cannibal as fans cheer him while they are being roasted
on his bar-b-q grill. 9 out of 10 fans masterbate to the Cheerleaders when the
Armageddon are losing, but only 4 out of 10 fans do it wether the team is winning
or losing. 15% percent of the fans bring guns to the games even when it's not
guns and alcohol night at the game. But 100% of the fans come to see one heck
of a ballgame week in and week out.

Armageddon
players throw a panty raid on Long Beach Storm Cheerleaders Hotel room.

5/18/2004
Despite all the trash talk that's been
goin on back and forth between these two rivals. The Armageddon made a move
last night that would make the Long Beach Storm hate them even more. Some of
the players and a couple of fans crashed the Cheerleader's Hotel room and grabbed
all the panties while all the cheerleaders screamed in fright. No word on who
those players we're. No word yet from Storm owner Dunerider. Some townfolks
say he's plotting revenge on Frank.
Seadogs
avenge loss by sinking the Armageddon's 5 game win streak 13-10

5/16/2004
Armageddon lose big they were never in
this game and tried to make a comeback in the fourth but failed miserably in
there attempt. Seadog fans we're happy that the team held on to win while Armageddon
fans we're in shock. Reports indicate that earlier during the week Armageddon
said he felt his team was due for a loss. We the media as nosey as we are caught
wind of this and snitched on his ass. Fans we're furious because they felt Frank
didn't have confidence on his team and maybe that's what lost it for the team
cuz I'm sure some of the players found about it as well.
Seadogs owner Bunk told Thornbird "Wow...
you know when you go into a game as the underdog and you tell yourself... "I
could win. Sure I could. Why not?" all the while that voice in the back
of your head is screaming "FOOL! FOOL! Your Offense is next to last, and
your D is last in the league! Against the Number 1 team? Mu-Ha-ha-ha!"
Finally I have something to quiet the voices in my head. Thanks T-Bird. Seattle
was going to get hostile if we couldn't defeat a division rival."
"This Division is one of the toughest
out there right now" said Thornbird I'm sure next week's game against Long
Beach won't be an easy one either."
LA
sweeps Alaska by edging them out this week 19-13

Not a very convincing win for the Armageddon
as they sturggled a little tonight. We'll have to wait and see what happens
next week. They may be ranked number 1 in the polls
but they had to make comeback in the 4th to get the win. Coach knoll was upset
and didn't invite any players to the strip joint tonight. No players from either
side team talked to the media tonight.
Game
Recap
LA
is now the Top Ranked team in the league for now as they take down the Panthers
27-10

5/3/2004
The mighty have risen to take over the
number 1 spot from the Michigan Panthers. "truly our best game yet and
quite possibly our best game ever" Said Frank at his post game conference
at the Playboy Mansion. His pal Hugh Hefner promised Frank that he'll throw
a party in his honor if they win and take the Number ranking this week. He also
invited the players to partake in this incredible event. Some sports writers
speculate that this is what drove the Armageddon to victory .... pffft Duh!!!
with all those playboy bunnies running around the mansion without any panties
pfffft it would motivate anyone quite honestly. Coach Knoll could not be reached
for comment.
Quarterback Billy Jackson was sacked 3
times for 7 yards. Despite running for his life all game long he managed to
pass for 233 yards and completed 18 passes out of 28 attempts and 1 56 yard
touchdown reception to Eugene Moreau. Walt Suggs had his best game ever, he
was named player of the game. He rushed 191 yards on 28 attempts averaging 6.8
yards per carry and breaking a long 85 yarder for a td. Wide Receiver Eugene
Moreau had himself yet another 100+ yards game with 123 on 7 receptions. This
coming from a player that the Armageddon was going to cut to accomodate 1st
round pick Stan Bailey. Instead they restructured his contract and kept him.
So that greedy bastard Walt Suggs may have been right all along we shall see
there is still more season to go.
Over all this was a great game and truly
has Armageddon fans pumped up and also has new ones jumping on the band wagon.
Cars all over LA have taken down there Long Beach Storm flags and have put up
LA Armageddon flags up. It's madness it's starting to get crazy out here and
it's worse than Laker fever. Football is back in L.A. and fans hope it's here
to stay.

The
Armageddon escape with the victory over the hated ones. They put out the Storm
in Long Beach 23-22
4/29/2004
If you don't know who the hated ones are
then you are not from around these parts. For the past 2 weeks these 2 team
owners have been talking smack to each other thru sports talk radio stations
and thru the local newscasts. As a result we saw a pretty damm good game. Better
than expected for Long Beach they we're supposed to receive a severe beating
but instead found themsleves with the ball with 2 minutes to go and driving.
As seen on the pic below the Aramgeddon
celebrated the win by storming the field. They even brought out a big cake with
a stripper in it.

It was a tough a defensive game in the
first quarter and both teams we're tied 3 all at the end of the first. Long
Beach struck first when the Armageddon fumbled the ball on there first play
from scrimmage. The Armageddon managed to kick a 26 yarder on there next possession.
2nd quarter was all Long Beach and they
rained all over the Armageddon by scoring 13 points while the Aramgeddon only
managed another field goal. The score was now 16 - 6 at the half in favor of
Long Beach.
3rd Quarter was all armageddon as they
scored 2 touchdowns to tame the storm and go ahead by 1 point.
The Storm took the lead with an early 4th
Quarter field goal. The Armageddon came roaring back with a vengeance by scoring
a field goal of there with 4 minutes and 8 seconds to go. The fans we're on
there toes at this point because the Storm was driving and was about to go into
Armageddon Territory when Line Backer Watts McMillian intercepted the ball to
seal the win for the Armageddon.

Coach Knoll talked about the win and told
the media that his heart stop ticking when he saw Long Beach marching down the
field on that last drive. "My mind is on next week's game right now and
this hot little hooker who's sitting on my lap right now" said coach Knoll.
I think this'll be a great showdown and I bet we can be the best team if we
can beat Michigan. I think we have a good shot and I don't think they will try
to underestimate us." So there you have it another thrilling for the Armageddon

The
Armageddon got more bang for there bucks thrashing 37-0
4/19/2004
The Armageddon give the
Bucks the spanking of a lifetime with 37-0 blowout. What more can be said this
game was all Armageddon. They capitalized on some turnovers early on and scored
17 points in the first quarter. After the first quarter fans started walking
out of the ballpark because they we're discusted at there teams performance
early in the game. It was a great day for the Armageddon they now have the number
1 ranked defense and the 3 offense and ranked #2 overall. Sports writers and
crittics are still skeptical about this team because so far there schedule has
been light with the exception of The Duluth Ice who beat the Armageddon in week
3. after the bye week next week the Armageddon's schedule only gets tougher.
They get Long Beach, and the Michigan Panthers, they also have the Pennsylvannia
Powerhouse and Chicago Canturions on there schedule as well. Coach Knoll knows
that the coming weeks will be tough and doesn't know how his team will deal
with it. "We'll just take it one game at a time" said Coach Knoll
to the media.
Below is an image of the game in action
it poured on and off during the game and people went home after the first quarter.

Not much of a game the Armageddon pretty
much dominated the game from beginning to end we will see what happens when
they face Long Beach in 2 weeks.

The
Armageddon Make the Seadogs Abandon ship
4/7/2004
The Armageddon finally win big in a game
that had even there hardcore fans wondering what went wrong last week. This
time they spread the ball around good and everyone was happy. Walt Suggs got
the ball 30 times for 106 yards and Billy Jackson who by the way was the player
of the game spread the ball around like a horny hooker. He passed to 5 different
receivers and 3 of them gained over 80 yards. Stan Bailey caught 13 passes for
87 yards the most reception in his career thus far. The crittics that once doubted
him are now praising him. "I'm starting to feel great about my coaching
ability" said Coach Knoll "We still need work but hey we're getting
there and the guy I'm most proud of right now is Stan Bailey he's slowly developing
into the player he was meant to be" Next week The Armageddon gets to visit
the friendly folks at Copper Harbor. The Armageddon will take on the Bucks in
Michigan the game will televised on PBS and no recap this week cuz I'm a Lazy

Both
Stan Bailey and Walt Suggs want the ball
4/7/2004
Certainly some of the players knew this was going to happen once the team started losing. After that shouting match between them at training camp. Both guys are trading blows thru the media like Kobe and Shaq did many times before. Stan Bailey called Walt a whiny bitch and Walt Suggs called Stan a ball hogging whore who can't play for squat. "In reality they are both just Whiners" said Coach Knoll to the media in hopes of stopping this massacre. It continued when Suggs told Stan that he slept with his mother last night. Stan said nothing back and broke down in tears.
This small rivalry goes back to college when they both faced each other. Walt went to Fresno State and Stan to Louisiana Tech. Below is a picture of both of them in laughing and talking about the Ho's and the Bitches they scored on the previous night. It's the only friendly conversation they've ever had.
Actually they never played against each other we just added that to make the story more intense.
Coach Knoll prays they win this week against a very powerfull Seattle Seadogs team. There's no Question that tempters are flaring up with these 2 but perhaps a nice convinsible win will ease the tension.

The Ice put the chill on the Armageddon. 17-10
4/4/2004
The most humiliating defeat so far for the Mighty Armageddon. The Armageddon fans we're in shock as they saw there team fall to the Ice in what was a good come from behind win for the Ice they scored 8 points in the 4th quarter to seal the win. "We sucked when our backs we're to the wall our defense could not hold them Iam deeply dissapointed in this team" said Coach Knoll on the other hand this could be a good thing cuz now we got a loss and we gotta see if we can bounce back next week". The Armageddon's home opener was a nightmare alot of fans comitted suicide by diving off the top stand into the bottom column. It was a pretty gory site but nonetheless I think this was a good game for the team now that they've tasted defeat.
Below is a picture of the player of the Game Walt Suggs picking up huge yards. he had 150 for the day.
The whole team broke out in tears as they walked off the field. The fans started calling them sissies and throwing bags of urine aimed directly at the Armageddon players.
First Quarter The Ice scored first by picking apart the slightly above average Armageddon Offense they pinned them down to the 4 yardline with a 36 yard punt which led to a safety with 11:50 to go in the first Quarter. Walt Suggs got tackled for the loss and left the field crying cuz his teammates bashed him for crying about wanting the ball more. Anyway that was forgotten when Mr. Suggs ran the ball in for a 2 yard TD run. Suggs litterally put the spark in this team when he caught a 20 yard pass from Billy Jackson to setup for the Touchdown.
But after 2 blown possessions The Duluth Ice refused to melt they scored a td with 7:09 remaining at the half. Quarterback Chad Newton completes a 8 yard pass to Tight End Tom Payton to take the lead before half time. The Armageddon players left the field with they're faces all red. Attendance: 61,405 which was a surprise to Owner Frank himself since his Skullsmashers franchise failed to sell more than 1 ticket.
3rd Quarter action the Armageddon mounted a small comeback with a field goal to take a 1 point lead with 10:05 to go in the 3rd Miraculously they managed to hold on to that 1 pt. lead for a while.
The tension started building cuz Armageddon kicker Justin Jackson missed a 52 yard field goal with 4:27 left in the game. He received a severe beating in the sidelines by his own teammates live on national television. Many of his teammates feel that's what costed them the game because it would've put more pressure on the Ice to score a touchdown. They held on to that lead up til there was 2:51 left in the game. That's when Quarterback Chad Newton completed a 26 yard pass to Wide Receiver Mike Kilroy and they converted the 2 point play after the Touchdown. On the Armageddon's last drive they managed to scrape up 2 first downs but 2 penalites hurt them and halted the drive. The Ice then proceeded to run out the clock.
All in all we did see a few good things here and there Walt Suggs ran over 100 yards for the very first time in his career. He ran for 150 yards on 29 attempts averaging 5.20 yards per carry. Wide Receiver Stan Bailey caught 3 passes 80 yards he had 17 yards after catch and averaged 26.70 per catch which was his best performance yet. But still the team managed to lose in an embarassing fashion. They actually soaked the coach with the Coachsoaker Beverage tub. The embarrassing part about this was that they we're losing the game at the time and The Ice we're running out the clock at the time. When asked about Walt Suggs performance during the post game conference coach Knoll said this "Maybe that whiny bastard was right all along maybe we should give him the ball more often" The press also asked about his players pouring the CoachSoaker tub on him when they we're losing and Coach Knoll just hanged his head in shame and said "No comment" and when they asked about kicker Justin Jackson's severe beating for missing that 52 yard field goal coach knoll said "That was okay by me he deserved that." Next week The Armageddon will face the Seattle Seattle Seadogs at home. The Armageddon are ranked #9 while the Seadogs are ranked #15. Both teams are 2-1 so this should be an interesting matchup indeed tickets are on sale now YOU GO BUY NOW

Coach Knoll brings down the hammer hard
Today several players refused to go to the practice squad when The Armageddon signed emergency runningback Greg Waterfield. They released Tight End Shaun Eason cuz they could spare him. Obcourse he started crying about needing to feed his 19 kids but coach Knoll just said "Well you should've played better getout of here you suck." As a result none of the players in the inactive list refused to move to the practice squad.
The picutre below shows Troy Daughtery in his college days in a game against Ohio State. His team lost that game but he got 6 sacks in that game the most he's ever gotten in a single game and the most in his school's history. Unfortunately he didn't cut it in the NFL or Arena Football so The Armageddon gave him a shot.
He's the one on the far left incase some of you can't tell the difference between players
Coach knoll wanted to primarily move Defensive End Troy Daughtery to the Practice squad but he refused to budge he perceeded to ask other inactive players to move to the practice and they refused as well. So then Coach Knoll just canned Troy Daughtery and told him he made a big mistake cuz he could've been a full time player in the long run. But instead he's out on the street begging for money now and who knows if anyone will pick him up.
Armageddon came down on Alaska
3/29/2004
The Armageddon took care of business against a team who so far had never tasted defeat. They lose to the Mighty Armageddon the final score was Los Angeles 28 Alaska 10. 2-0 is the best start Owner Frank has ever experienced with a professional football franchise. The Avalanche was favored to win this showdown because of the cold weather and snow was in the forecast. But no happy white winter snow fell this day and it was a day of agony for the Avalanche. The snow never fell to the ground but the Avalanche sure did.
Quarterback Billy Jackson had himself a good day indeed. 245 passing yards completed 25 out of 34 attempts and 3 touchdowns. Another big contributor in tonights game was former Birmingham Brave Tight End O.J. Davis who caught 5 passes for 109 yds. Runningback Walt Suggs also contributed with 80 yds on the ground. Coach Knoll was happy to see his team blow out one of the top ranked teams. He was so happy he yelled out "FREE BJ's FOR EVERYONE" during his post game prep talk. "I feel we can take this division the only teams I'm really worried about right now are Utah and Pennsylvania because they have the personel to go all the way to the big hoot nanny" said Coach Knoll. "The only team that concerns me a little in our division that is the Long Beach Storm. But I have a strong feeling that there will be no storm when we meet them and it will be bright and sunny that day" "The only thing we fear is our coach because he's mean" said Wide Receiver Stan Bailey to the media "he also made Linebacker Mark Benjamin cry on several ocassions by giving him wet willy's and taking his lollypop away and throwing it in the grass."
Game Recap
In the first Quarter we saw the Armageddon strike first with O.J. Davis scoring on a 13 yard Billy Jackson pass. They also scored on 52 yard fumble return by J. Tate which made the avalanche run for cover. Alaska finally got an answer when Quarterback F. Howell completes a 31 yard pass to Wide receiver D. Arrington for a touchdown which made it 14 to 7 in favor of LA.
2nd quarter belonged to The Armageddon as they managed to get into the endzone once. Walt Suggs got in there for a 15 yard pass from QB Billy Jackson. and that pretty much closed the book for Alaska they only managed a field goal from then on while the Aramgeddon scored another touchdown.
This harsh and cruel road trip that Armageddon rode thru is now over, next week they play at home for the very first time in there career vs. another cold team The Duluth Ice this should be interesting indeed.

The Armageddon sign 3 free agents
3/25/2004
Today the Armageddon sign guard Dale Sowell for what they hope is a mild upgrade to there already slightly above average offensive line. Coach Knoll knew that the Guard position was weak and he needed to fill that void and in return he released his other guard the one who couldn't cut it man wise and on the field Ron Crawford. Coach Knoll called him a sissy and told him to go home.
Another spot Mr. Knoll felt needed some improvement was Inside Linebacker. Coach Knoll signed what he hopes will be the answer to his problem in that position. He signed Linebacker Ron Edgerson to replace Bill Thompson. Coach Knoll bitched about Thompson alot during the pre season. "He was a cry baby" said Coach knoll "even his wife calls him a sissy and pushes him around" "He was a huge distraction and one time I sat him down because the other teams midget kicker rammed his ass to the ground and he broke down in tears... and after a while he started running around on the sidelines throwing a tantrum and called me poopypants.... plus he doesn't play real good so I cut his ass and sent him home"
Strong Safety was another position they needed some help with and so they went and got Strong Safety Bill LeConunt. They got him pretty cheap too $290,000.00 and a $200,000 signing bonus and they cut Tyler Bingham and the next day we saw Tyler in the streets and he was already homeless in the streets begging for money and washing car windshields during rush hour. I gave a nickle and he was a happy camper. Coach Knoll says his team will beat Alaska he guarantees it. Only 2 days til meltdown the end of the world is coming. Beware Armageddon is coming for you.
Armageddon edge out The Griffins in an opening day thriller 28-27
3/20/2004
The Armageddon's first game was won in style as they scored 18 points in the 4th quarter to take the lead for good.
In the first Quarter both teams scored 3 points by the end of the first quarter the game was tied 3 - 3 so it was anybody's game at that point.
2nd quarter was different story as Baltimore clearly showed they we're the superior team and a few fans even left the stadium before the halftime show began simply because The Griffins scored 17 points in that quarter. It started off with Quarterback Hilliard completing a 46 yard pass to Running Back Zofko in the early moments of the 2nd Quarter. The Armageddon almost had an answer on there next possession but got 2 penalties on third down that halted the drive. Baltimore managed to get a field goal on there next drive. The Armageddon got good field position to start there next drive they we're moving the ball and again a penalty halted the drive for them. At that point Coach Knoll started yelling at his players and boy was his face red folks. The Armageddon did manage to score a touchdown in that quarter on a 66 yd punt return by Wide Receiver Longley to make it 13-10 in Baltimore's favor with 3 minutes to go in the 2nd quarter That was more than enough time for Hilliard to score on his first posession Hilliard completed a 47 yard pass to WR S. Jimenez that eventually led to a 4 yard td run by Hilliard himself with 1:35 til halftime.
At the half the score was 20-10. The only highlight in the 3rd quarter was a K. Zofko touchdown run for 34 yards which was pretty much everything Baltimore had scored for the night. The score was now 27-10 and more than half the fans began exiting the stadium even some of the Armageddon players began leaving but Coach Knoll told them to stay or no strip joint tonight.
That set the stage for the greatest comeback in NAFL so far. Fullback T. Nystrom runs for 1 yards to start the comeback and Tight End O.J. Davis converts the 2 point conversion on there first 4th quarter possession. Making the score 27-18 with 8:38 remaining. Baltimore tries it's best to run out the clock and with 3:15 remaining the Armageddon get the ball back. With 55 seconds remaining Quarterback Billy Jackson completes a 19 yard pass to Tight End O.J. Davis for a Touchdown and convert the point after. The Aramgeddon recover the onside kick Jim Williams ends up with it on the Baltimore 49 with 38 seconds remaining.
Quarterback Billy Jackson completes a 17 yard pass to WR E. Moreau with 30 seconds remaining. The drive ended with a 7 yard pass to Tight End O.J. Davis which set them up for a 41 yard field goal with 15 seconds remaining. The field goal was good and The Armageddon escape with the victory.
Meanwhile the Teams Post game press conference which was held at the local strip joint. Coach Knoll was happy and celebrating. Baltimore's only comment was "luck all luck" Next week they face the powerfull Alaska Avalanche. Alaska went undefeated in the pre season and won there first game of the season so they have yet to taste defeat. Alaska is ranked # 10 while The Armageddon are ranked #13 despite the difference in records here I expect this game to be a close one and it can go either way it's too tough to call.

Opening day this Saturday
3/19/2004
The players practiced quite alot today and Coach Knoll feels his boys are ready to take on Baltimore. Quickly after practice he took the boys out to a strip joint to losen them up a bit and then it was off to Baltimore. When they arrived to Baltimore he took them to another strip joint and told the team if they win he'll take them to yet another strip joint after the game. He also is planning to hold his pre game press conference at a soon to be named strip joint. When asked why so many strip joints Coach knoll simply implied "The Cheerleaders Won't PUT OUT!!!." I'm sure this will be a great game The LA Armageddon come into this game ranked #6 and Baltimore goes in there ranked #18 both team broke even during the Pre-season and the Armageddon are favored by 4 points to win. Who will win???? my money and the deed to my house and my life savings go to the Armageddon. Opening day is upon us see ya there folks
The Armageddon break even in the Pre Season with a win over Fort Worth 23-6
3/15/2004
The Stampede only managed 6 points against LA and that made Coach Knoll very happy. "I'm glad we atleast broke even in the pre season now I can rest a little easy" said Coach Knoll "We had alot of contributors tonight and our defense stepped it up a bit" "My confidence in this team has gone up way high and team morale looks to be good"
There was no score in the first quarter of play. First strike proved to be deadly as The Armageddon scored with 13 minutes left at the half with a 8 yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Moreau and that pretty much wrapped up the game for the Armageddon. Fort Worth answered with a field goal. But the Armageddon scored another touchdown 21 seconds before the half with a 9 yard pass to Wide Receiver Longley. The 2nd half was all Armageddon Fort Worth only managed to score another field goal while the Armageddon scored a touchdown and got a safety. No comment from Fort Worth owner Deft on this game.
Comeback Denied The Warriors conquer The Armageddon army 30-37
3/10/2004
The Armageddon lose a tough offensive battle against Utah. Utah struck first with a 20 YD Pass from David Bridges to Wide receiver Eddie Humphrey. Then the Armageddon came back and scored a TD of there own Tim Nystrom ran it in for 4 YD Run. Utah scored a field goal to end the first Quarter and take the lead 10 to 7.
2nd Quarter Action LA only managed to score 2 field goals while Utah scored 2 td's to seperate themselves from The Armageddon. One score was a 29 YD Fumble Return by John Hughes and the other was 1 YD Run by Pat Schubert.
3rd Quarter belonged to Utah they scored a Brad Perry 1 YD Run while the Armageddon only managed to score a field goal to keep within striking distance.
The 4th quarter clearly belonged to the Armageddon they scored 14 points while Utah only managed 2 field goals but the comeback fell short they still had time to tie this game and send it into overtime. With 1:19 to go they failed to get the ball back on an onside kick. At that point all the players left the field crying.
Armageddon's owner was seen in public telling Utah's owner that he'll get him during the regular season. Utah owner Matthew Sauk responded back by saying "your ass will be handed to you in a jar next time we play...You will not score more then 10 points" no apologies from either side as of yet. Coach Knoll was happy but still concerned as to how his players we're doing. "They played good tonight I was specifically impressed with Mr. Suggs performance tonight. Hopefully this will continue into the regular season" said Coach Knoll. "The loss still hurts a little I know they don't count but I hope it doesn't ruin our team morale". Game recap is below
Game Recap
Armageddon lose to Montreal 19-13
3/6/2004
Any of you who have followed these 2 owners in the MLF know that a victory is not as simple as it seems with these 2 teams. Even tho LA was heavily favored they managed to lose. In the MLF it was pretty much the samething. The first game Montreal was favored to win and they lost to the Skullsmashers. The 2nd game the Skullsmashers we're favored to win and lost it. Both games we're close as was this one played today. Both teams we're exhausted after the game. Coach Knoll was happy that some of his starters played good today but despite this being a pre season game he still wanted this victory real bad and so did owner Frank. A great game was played a full recap later on today when we get the final scores up.
2 MLF owners collide this week
3/5/2004
Obcourse 1 owner is Frank who owns The Edmonton Skullsmashers, and the LA Armageddon the other is his MLF division rival the owner of the Montreal Concordes and owner the Montreal Voltigeurs Trevor Fraser. They will meet on this week's pre-season game and they will also meet during the regular season. I doubt this will develop into a rivalry since they are not in the same division but I'm sure there will be plenty of tension on both sides. LA is heavily favored over Montreal but some fans still hope to see a good game from both teams. No comment from either side but I'm sure both teams will be well prepared for this showdown.
The March begins Armageddon wins 38-14
2/28/2004
Despite the fact that Quarterback Billy Jackson threw back to back interceptions and the fact that Miami's strong offensive performance in the first quarter. The Armageddon managed to put it all together and score a touchdown before the first quarter ended to bring it within 7 points and that was basically all she wrote for Miami. Miami capitilized off 2 interceptions in the first quarter one was returned for a touchdown and the other led to a touchdown.
But the Armageddon mounted a furious comeback which was sparked by a 94 yard td pass to wide receiver Eugene Moreau which lit the team on fire. The 2nd Quarter belonged to the Armageddon they managed to score off a 19 yd Anthony Sullivan run and kick 26 yd field goal before the half. The Miami Vice failed to get a grip after the first quarter and managed to give back the 14 points they took away back to The Armageddon by coughing up the ball and letting Rod Crawford return it for an 13 yd td and an 81 yd interception return for a td by Tyler Bingham. The four horseman rode tonight as the Armageddon rose to victory.
Game Recap
High Expectation player stats
QB B. Jackson att 2/8 103 yds 1 TD 2 INT
RB W. Suggs 2/2 avg yd/rush 1.00
WR S. Bailey dropped 2 passes 0 yds
"The players with high expectations failed to show up in today" said Coach Knoll "Even with 1 quarter of action it concerns me deeply" Although Billy Jackson did have 1 good play everyone else was stumbling. If this keeps up we may see quite a few changes once the season kicks in. Al Ellerson was injured which was gonna be a key part in this offense he's expected to return in 6 to 10 weeks. This may or may not hurt the team depends on how well Suggs runs the rest of the way. No comment on Miami's part except that they like what they see in there starters.
The Trojan condoms play of the game a 94 yd td pass to Wide Receiver Eugene Moreau see the highlight below.

NAFL analyst and Houston Owner Sid Nyquist comments on the upcoming NAFL season.
2/26/2004
He predicts that the Aramgeddon will take the division and Long Beach will be a strong 2nd so a rivalry is in the making. Anyway here is how he breaks down the division.
1. LA - QB Billy Jackson has a new toy. Its WR Stan Bailey. These two should hook up quite a bit this year. The OL is questionable, but the OT's are good and should provide decent protection for Jackson. If the OL can open enough holes for RB Suggs, this could be a formidable offense. On defense, the front seven is above average. Any weakness there should be covered by a great secondary. Although getting up there in age, CB Kennedy, FS Nalen and SS Grant can still play.
2. Long Beach - QB Boiman is steady and will have time to throw behind a very good OL. The running game is strong as well with RB Pinkston. LB has one of the best receivers in the league in O'Neal. The biggest problem on O is the depth at WR. Take away O'Neal and who do they throw to? The defense will play as well as its pass rush. OLB Stief will be a beast but the DE's wont generate much rush. Bad news for a secondary that has a few weaknesses.
3. Seattle - Rookie Dave McGinest should benefit from a strong OL and a good running game. Depth at WR and RB will be a concern. Could be a good offense if McGinest progresses and stays healthy. ON defense, the DL is weak. OLB's Rakestraw and Polk should terrorize QB's all year long. Good CB's but average at safety.
4. Alaska - QB Griffin is injury prone and Alaska has no depth behind him. Could be a dissaster. Not much talent on offense. RB Meester will have to shoulder the load. The DL is strong but OLB is a huge liability. It’s a good thing the secondary is very strong. Too many holes for Alaska to fill this year. Could be fighting for a top 5 pick.
If you wanna see his other Division analysis go here
Pre Season is upon us
2/25/2004
The Preseason kicks off sometime this week and possibly tomorrow or Friday but Saturday at the latest with the Armageddon taking on the Miami Vice so that means whatever problems we're ocurring are now gone and officially things will kick off. The preseason schedule fo the Armageddon starts with The Miami Vice today, Montreal Voltigeurs, Utah Warriors, then they close the Pre Season against the Fort Worth Stampede. These games don't really count but it would be nice to see The Armageddon come out with a few victories to get the fans fired up for the regular season. Also the regular season Team schedules have officially been released by the league commisioner and season tickets are now available. The Armageddon also landed a TV contract with local PBS station KCET to broadcast the games live. KCET inked the deal today and they will pay the team a whopping $10 dollars a game which is more than they'd expected according to Armageddon owner Frank. Below is the schedule and on Paper the Armageddon are ranked 12th overall in the league.
Bandits/Gladiators scrimmage held today
2/24/2004
Yet another scrimmage was held today by the NAFL. This scrimmage was not planned ahead of time. This scrimmage was held to keep fans interests alive despite of what happened. A Norfolk Gladiator got injured during the game. He suffered a mild concussion and is expected to be back when the preseason begins.
Baton Rouge/ Islip Scrimmage and a Texas scrimmage this passed week
2/23/2004
2 scrimmages we're held during the week one was between Baton Rouge and Islip and the other was for the battle of Texas Houston vs. Texas copperheads. All teams looked great but amidst all this another scandal errupted putting the league onhold until the issue is resolved. Just as pre season was upon us and no word from any NAFL spokespeople on what has happened. They did promise that his issue would be resolved quickly. Even Team owners are not speaking to the media. There is alot of tension in the air and when owners walked out of the conference room last night, they did not look happy. Strippers we're seen leaving the conference room also and one reporter said he saw a giant cake on the conference table, 2 kegs, and lots of confetti on the floor briefly before the doors closed. If they left unhappy from that place then something must seriously be wrong. More details as they come to us
The scandal that almost tore the league apart
2/17/2004
A scandal had errupted the week before the draft that exploded into a furious fist fight between some of the team owners and the commish last night over a couple of free agent signings that turned into disaster. Details are very vague at this point because none of the league owners involved are speaking to the media. But thanks to some valiant team owners of the league like Texas Copperheads owner Kyn Ehler, Utah owner Mathew Sauk and Commisioner Chris Felder the league remained in tact for now, "Were not out of the clear yet we still gotta get to the regular season without a hitch but things look good right now" said Armageddon owner Frank. "In fact this helped our team restructure some deals and keep us 8,000,000 dollars under the cap which is better than 6,000,000 dollars anyday". If we get more details of this crisis we'll submitted here as it happens.
Armageddon makes another trade
2/16/2004
Despite knowing that next year they will be just barely under the cap next year by $788,000 The Armageddon struck another deal today to get what might be a better runningback than Walt Sluggs. Frank told the press "We tried renegotiating with Sluggs but Sluggs just plain out wanted more money plus some strippers to take home." "We may end up trading him away or just flat out cut before he cuts the cheese himself" We just don't know at this point, or we may just have both Runningbacks battle it out for the top spot. We still need another Quarterback to fill Al's spot so we'll see how things turn out as the preseason draws near. The trade still needs approval but sources close to us tell us it's a done deal. LA will trade Quarterback Al Johnson and next years 2nd round pick for Fort Worth Runningback Al Ellerson. "We are looking to win now" said Frank "We'll worry about next year when we cross that bridge". "Hookers and beer for the entire city cuz we are going all the way baby we're going to disneyland" said Frank in a mad drunken rage. There you have it folks we don't know if this come true but he certainly seems to be making all the right moves unlike the Skullsmashers who are in drunk in a ditch in the middle of the desert.
