A make-up game for the Greenskin Bumlookers took place this Sunday, against the Fly-By Knights. This game had the greatest attendance to date, no doubt due to the hype generated around the team's coaches - rumour has it they've schooled, worked, and even lived together! Certainly the groundwork for an intense rivalry is being laid.
The game itself started in the rain, under the lights. The Knights grabbed the lead early on with a touchdown pass from Lance Freely to Stanley Steele, and then recovered the ball on defence to see it run in for the score by lineman Reginald Reginald III. The Bumlookers countered in the second half, after a tussle between the two teams on the pitch, with line orc Rod Harding bringing in the touchdown on a beautiful catch. In an amazing turn of events, the Knights dealt more damage than they sustained, injuring three Bumlookers and being no worse than knocked out themselves.
MVPs for the match were Abraham Sandwich, lineman of the Fly-By Knights, and Red Marx of the Bumlookers, who is showing his potential as a true professional Blood Bowl player. Also of note was the unflappable resolve and focus of Knights' catcher Stanley "Stainless" Steele.
A very spirited match for both sides, and it showed in the winnings, as each team pocketed 70,000 gold each! As a result, the Bumlookers hired on black orc Phil McKrackin to add even more muscle to their formidable front line, and the Knights signed blitzer Chet Jackweed, possibly the single most cocky individual to ever dance in the end zone.
Due to the holiday weekend coming up, arrangements are being made to have two more games played in the coming week. All the news and reports on them will be here as soon as they're made available to the press!

Week 1 Results
Two games on Sunday afternoon, both low-scoring and violent affairs!
In a fast-paced game 1, the Fly-By Knights and the Dusk Hill Dirt Bursters battled to a 1-1 tie, punctuated by several injuries, including an unlikely casualty caused by Knights' thrower Jacques Strappe. Stanley Steele caught the Knights' touchdown, while Lez White had the run-in score for the Dirt Bursters. MVPs for the game were Wight blitzer Lez White, who played a frenzied match, and lineman Karl Von Uberstamp, who threw several key blocks.
In game 2, a decidedly brutal affair, Gildengrip's Gold Miners squeezed out a 1-0 victory over the Meathooks. Most notable in this game was the what we assume to be excruciating death of Dwarf blitzer Neddrig McNickles at the hands of Orc Blitzer Beef Bigaxe. The lone touchdown was run in by Dwarf runner Gilgary Goldrush. MVPs for the match were Orc lineman Lockjaw and dwarf lineman Irgon McIrons.
As of now, the current standings are as follows.
1. Gildengrip's Gold Miners 1-0-0
3. (tie) Fly-By Knights and Dusk Hill Dirt Bursters 0-1-0
4. Meathooks 0-0-1
6. (tie) Greenskin Bumlookers and Low-Blows 0-0-0 (have not played yet)
Look for future updates soon, as the Greenskin Bumlookers and the Low-Blows have got two, count'em TWO games against each other coming up, in what pomises to be the most brutal doubleheader of the season.

Kickoff!
Today marks the beginning of the Fall 2007 MMBBL season! Due to some external problems there will only be two of the possible three matches today. At 2:00 Atlantic time, the Fly-By Knights face off against the Dusk Hill Dirt Bursters, and the Meathooks do battle with Gildengrip's Gold Miners. In addition to game reports after they've been played, we're going to have pictures of the participating teams. Since the Meathooks aren't done up all pretty yet, they'll have a stand-in (though still well-painted) orc squad.
As the commissioner, I'm hoping that this really takes off and that we have a great season filled with lofty highs and crushing lows. As a team owner, I must express my glee at the prospect of touchdowns, level-ups and having a strong team full of character. As a long-time Blood Bowl player who's finally getting to play again, I'm just plain happy to be here today for the action!
More to follow once the games are done!
