Contracts Signed by Three Players

We have a few press releases for you today, just hours before tonight's matches. We'll start with the one of most significance, as it is the only one to have an impact on today's matches. And now, here's our dwarf correspondent Rock Blottem with the press release.

Euin and the Go’nads, together again for the first time

The Smash and Go’nads of the MMBBL released a statement today announcing the hiring of Troll Slayer Euin Whatarmy, in a last ditch effort to pump up their roster for their upcoming match against the up and coming Ragefangs.

“It’s a must win game for us” explains head coach Ryan Keizer of the Go’nads, “and if these miniature tanks with legs think it’s going to be a cakewalk they’ve got another thing coming.”

The Ragefangs are coming off a win/lose game against the Dirt Bursters, giving up 3 scores but scoring 3 major injuries against their opposition. Having already tied the Wardoves, this game is as important to the Ragefangs as it is the Go’nads.

“Aye, it’s a numbers game this season, and so far people don’t think we know ‘ow ta count - Hic” commented Go’nads Captain Achilles Punks. “And I’ve had enough of the hired goons, time we did things on our own!”

Achilles is the only player of the Go’nads to receive a player of the game award in their young season; Grim Ironjaw walked away with the honors after the close loss to the Meathooks last week.

Recently there has been more bad blood in the upstairs office of Go’nads management than on the field. “These two need to perform” comment management when asked about the future of runners Adam Meway and up and comer Dick Gozinia. It’s rumored head coach Ryan Keizer and the pair of runners got into a locker room brawl when the head coach took it upon himself to take his frustrations out on the runners’ pints. He did not comment when asked but his bandaged ankles are enough for us to draw our own conclusion.

Thanks, Rock. We have two smaller press releases to go through, as both the Blueriver Wardoves and the Fly-by Knights have made additions to their teams.

Second on the signing list, Valandil Dreadlily has signed an entry-level contract as a lineman for the Wardoves. Word is he'll wear the "holy" number seven this season - We at the MMBBL press office aren't sure why the number is sacred...could there be some strange elven prophecy at work? In any case, Dreadlily was noted in Spike! magazine last month as a potential call-up, and was also featured in the equal-opportunity swimsuit edition centerfold. From what we know of the Wardoves, getting his image out there for the public is paramount, and this is par for the course for any would-be star.

And finally, the Fly-by Knights have inked catcher Brad Attitûd to round out their roster. He'll sport the number fifteen for the human squad, and will likely serve to replace Flash Madison as the number two pass option, behind Stanley Steele. Madison was injured last season and never fully recovered, and has taken on the role of agitator to supplement his lessened utility. Attitûd, a little-known prospect hailing from a barony far to the north, has plenty of natural talent and speed, as well as an air of inherent superiority. His love for the game is intense, and his response to the media's questions were several heartfelt "Ja, du lam sooperstarr mit Flar-bar Kniuts!"

That's it from the press office of MMBBL. We'll see you at tonight's games and back here to catch the recaps!
