It is reported from Lincoln that the Lincoln Lightning have agreed to a long term deal with former Nebraska QB and Heisman Trophy winner, Eric Crouch. After a deal with QB Tommie Frazier fell through, the Lightning were in talks with Crouch to lead the team.
Crouch is known for being a former Heisman Trophy winner at the University of Nebraska. He lead the Huskers to the National Title Game in the Rose Bowl against the Miami Hurricanes. After being drafted in the NFL, he didn't really make it too far and retired multiple times after injury.
"I'm really excited for the opportunity to play in my old state," Crouch stated earlier. "It's a great way for me to start over, and there's no better place to start than at my old stomping ground."

* The opening theme begins, and the voice-over proclaims, "This is the WFL on WBC!"* Good afternoon, sports fans, and welcome to the Week 11 Wrestlecrap Football League Wrap-up! This is Howard Cosell, and joining me this week is former Super Bowl Champion Quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, Roger Staubach.It's great to be here, Howard. And I'm excited to see all the action that went down during the week, as we head closer to the playoffs.* A different theme opens up, and the highlight video begins.* We start out in Grand Rapids, as the Fighting Pike hosted the Beijing Bandits. And this one wasn't even close! The Pike dominated both sides of the ball, and Bandits were lucky to not get shut out. Grand Rapids had 440 total yards of offense, and forced 3 turnovers and 5 sacks on the way to routing the Bandits, 42-7. Grand Rapids RB Weishaar was the key factor, rushing 27 times for 226 yards and 4 touchdowns.It was ugly all around, Howard. Next, we head to the Great White North, as the Manitoba Mavericks host the Portland Settlers. This one was a little closer, but the Settlers once again were dominant the whole time, gaining 358 total yards to Manitoba's 101 total yards, outscoring the Mavericks, 18-7.From Manitoba to Pennsylvania, the Sioux Falls Outlaws travel to Allentown to face the Ambassadors. The Outlaws looked to rebound after a tough loss to Grand Rapids last week, and rebound they did. They out performed the Ambassadors, 317 total yards to 187 total yards, and ran away with a win here, 25-4.The beatdowns continued in Calgary, as the Comets hosted the Stockholm Icestorm. The Comets outgained the Icestorm, 325 total yards to 149 total yards, and defeated the Icestorm, 21-7.Next, we head to the Land of Wales, as Seattle travels to take on the Swansea Red Dragons. This was a close battle, as Seattle head the lead nearly the entire game. But, as the final minutes waned, Swansea marched down the field, scoring the tying touchdown. Seattle tried to get downfield, but a Red Dragon interception insured this game would go to overtime. Both teams held the ball in the O/T period, but neither could seem to score. Then, Swansea marched down the field again late in the O/T, getting the score and the win, 22-15.Next, we head back to the Heartland of America, as the New York Stars traveled to face the Lincoln Lightning. All the town was a buzz about Eric Crouch's possible return to Lincoln. But the game was a nail biter the whole way, as New York kept trying to gain momentum. But they made some costly turnovers, and the Lightning picked up another win here, 11-0.Next, we had another offensive struggle, as the Indiana Injuns battled Team Delirious. Both teams struggled to get in the endzone, and after regulation, we were tied 4-4. Indiana marched down the field in O/T and set up the winning field goal, taking it here, 8-4.The final game saw another offensive struggle, as the Vancouver Vampires traveled to Greece to face the Athens Eagles. Once again, both teams struggled near the end zone, but Athens was able to get in, while Vancouver was only able to come away with a field goal. And that was the factor, as the Eagles took this one, 7-4.
There are only 3 weeks left, and the action still isn't letting up. But for this week, we're out of time. For Roger Staubach, this is Howard Cosell saying Good Night!

* The opening theme begins, and the voice-over proclaims, "This is the WFL on WBC!"* Happy Late Veterans Day, sports fans, and welcome to the early wrap up show for Week 12 of the Wrestlecrap Football League. This is Howard Cosell, and joining me this week is the "Punky QB" known to his fans as Jim McMahon.It's great to be here, Howard. It was another great week of football as we head closer to the playoffs.* The highlights theme starts, as the opening to the highlights video plays.* First up, the Sioux Falls Outlaws travel to the rainy northwest as they take on the Portland Settlers. And this was a smashmouth affair from start to finish. Sioux Falls actually outperformed the Settlers offensive wise, gaining 262 yards total offense to the Settlers' 178. But the key here was the defense. Portland forced 3 turnovers and 4 sacks while Sioux Falls was only able to force 1 sack. The Outlaws tried to come back late, but it wasn't enough, as the Settlers took this one, 18-11.Next, we head to the Great Wall of China, as the Allentown Ambassadors faced out against the Beijing Bandits. This was another offensive shootout, as Allentown had 146 yards rushing and 198 yards passing, while Beijing had 117 yards rushing and 156 yards passing. In the end, the Ambassadors were too much, and they beat the Bandits, 21-14.Next, we had a battle in the Great White North, as the Vancouver Vampires hosted the Manitoba Mavericks. The Mavericks were a little sluggish in this game, having 2 turnovers. The Vampires also had 223 yards passing and no turnovers. But the Mavericks defense also had 3 sacks on the Vamps, and that was enough to propel Manitoba to the win, 21-14.Next, we head to Indiana, as the Grand Rapids Fighting Pike took on the Indiana Injuns. And this one wasn't even close. The Fighting Pike just dominated the Injuns, out-gaining them 359 to 155 total yards of offense. Final Score: 25-0, Pike.From Indiana to Brooklyn, the Athens Eagles faced off against the New York Stars. Once again, it was another great battle, as Athens gained 233 totals yards offense to New York's 261 total yards of offense. But, again, it didn't go New York's way, like it's been all season, and the Eagles get a win here, 21-14.Next, we head back out to the rainy northwest, as the Seattle Mountaineers host the team I wouldn't mind being on, Team Delirious. This was another smashmouth affair, but it was a low-scoring one as well. Team Delirious could only get a pair of field goals when they were close, and Seattle was able to get in the endzone as well as score a field goal. And that was the key in this one, as the Mountaineers took this one and keep their division title hopes alive, 11-8.Next up, we have the surprise of the second half, the Lincoln Lightning travel up to the snowy tundra of Alberta to face the Calgary Comets. And they shocked the Comets at home, outperforming them on offense, 307 total yards of offense to Calgary's 188 yards of total offense, and took this one, 21-12.In the final game of the week, it was the European Showdown, as the Swansea Red Dragons took on the Stockholm Icestorm. Swansea needed to win this one to take the division lead back from Sioux Falls. Once again, it was another smashmouth affair, as the teams traded the lead back and forth. But in the end, the Red Dragons were too much, and they took this one in a close one, 18-14.And that will do it for this week in the WFL. I thank Jim McMahon for coming by, and we say so long for now!

Both of my teams (Manitoba and Stockholm) sit at 4-8. It looked like they could each pull something out at the halfway point (both were 3-4) but they go on to 1-4 records since. There's always next year!

WFL News and Nitpicks
A few weeks ago, it was reported that the city of Omaha was interested in a franchise next season for the WFL. It's also being reported that the city of Dallas is also interested in obtaining a franchise in this budding league.
The two cities already have thought of nicknames for each team.
Omaha would be known as the Omaha Express, while Dallas would be known as the Dallas Gunslingers.
They are currently looking for prospective investors to buy into these teams.
It seems that the possible arrival of former Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch has started a fire with the Lincoln Lightning. Lincoln, which started out the first half of the season winning it's first game, then losing 6 straight, has gone 4-1 in the last 5 games. Unfortunately, they are nearly mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, but the GM is looking on the bright side.
"I thought we were going to go 1-13, considering the way the season started. But this group of talent has really pulled it together. Do we have a shot at making the playoffs? Yes, albeit a long shot. But that's not the point. The point is we started out poorly, and are looking to finish strong. I have given the head coach a vote of confidence that extends into next season."
Even with his reinstatement to the Oregon Ducks, the Portland Settlers are still in talks with RB LeGarrette Blount in possibly signing a contract with the star Duck. If they sign Blount, he would be the first pick for the Settlers in the 2010 Draft, which considering, wouldn't be that bad of a pick to begin with.

* The opening theme rolls, as the voice-over proclaims, "This is the WFL on WBC!"* Good evening, sports fans, and welcome to the Week 13 wrap-up show for the WFL! This is Howard Cosell, and joining me this week is former quarterback for the NY Football Giants, Phil Simms!Thanks, Howard. It's great to be here. Let's get to the action!* The highlights theme begins, as the highlights video rolls.* First off, Seattle/Grand Rapids. The Mountaineers had to win this game to keep their division crown hopes alive. And they weren't afraid to air it out, as they threw for 274 yards. But the Fighting Pike weren't going down that easy, as the Pike forced 4 sacks. The Mountaineers tried to fight back, but it wasn't to be, as the Pike take this one, 18-7.Next, we head to Winnipeg, as the New York Stars take on the Manitoba Mavericks. This was another defensive battle, as both teams forced multiple sacks, and a low-scoring affair. Manitoba was able to outlast the Stars and take this one, 11-7.From Winnipeg to Allentown, the next matchup featured the Indiana Injuns facing the Allentown Ambassadors. The Injuns needed to win this one in order to come closer to a division crown. This one was another fierce battle, as both teams spread the ball all over the field. But it wasn't just offense, as the defense played an important part as well, with the Injuns forcing 3 turnovers and 6 sacks while the Ambassadors forced 1 turnover and 4 sacks. But regulation couldn't settle this, and we headed to overtime once more. The Ambassadors marched down the field and got this one, 21-14.We head back to the capital of the WFL, as the Sioux Falls Outlaws hosted the Vancouver Vampires. The Vampires went toe to toe with the Outlaws yardwise, but couldn't get in the endzone when they needed to. This would hurt them in the end, as the Outlaws were able to shut them out, 21-0.Next, we see the Beijing Bandits take on the Portland Settlers. Settlers fans were overjoyed before the game began, as they saw the final score between Seattle and Grand Rapids. But Portland had a fight in store, as Beijing spread their offense evenly between the run and the pass. But once again, the sack game came into play, as Portland had 4 sacks in route to a 21-11 victory.Next, the Lincoln Lightning hosted the Stockholm Icestorm. This was another low-scoring affair, as Lincoln was able to only score one touchdown and two field goals. But they were enough, as they shut out the Icestorm on their way to their 6th win of the year, 15-0.We head from Lincoln to the Edge of Sanity, as the Swansea Red Dragons faced off against Team Delirious. Swansea fought tooth and nail with Team Delirious, as they needed this win to say alive in the division battle with Sioux Falls. They outperformed Team Delirious barely, gaining 137 total yards to Team Delirious' 151 total yards. But once again, defense was the key, as Team Delirious forced 3 sacks on their way to a close victory, 18-11.The final game of the week saw Athens hosting the Calgary Comets. Athens needed a win here to keep their playoff hopes alive, and they kept it close throughout the game, even though they were outgained yardwise, 322 yards to 145 yards. But in the end, it was Calgary putting another nail in the coffin for Athens' playoff chances, 18-11.And that'll do it for this week's action. For Phil Simms, this is Howard Cosell saying good night!

* The opening theme rolls, as the voice-over proclaims, "This is the WFL on WBC!"* Good evening, sports fans, and welcome to Week 14 and the final week of the Wrestlecrap Football League season. This is Howard Cosell, and I will be bringing you all the action of this week, as we end the regular season and head into the playoffs!* The highlights theme plays, as the video begins.* First up, Beijing at Vancouver. Both teams wanted to end their season on a high note, as neither were playoff eligible. Vancouver QB Jamieson led the way, going 14/22 for 262 yards, 3 TDs, and 1 INT. Beijing out gained the Vampires yardwise, but the turnover battle hurt them in the end, as Vancouver took this one, 36-14.
Next, we head to Indianapolis, as Indiana hosts the Portland Settlers. Indiana would clinch the division with a win here, while Portland would clinch homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. This one was all Portland, as they were led by QB Humberson, who went 16/23 for 213 yards and 2 TDs, and the Settlers roll, 28-4.
From Indianapolis to Brooklyn, the next matchup features the Sioux Falls Outlaws taking on the New York Stars. The Outlaws clinch their division with a win here, but the Stars had other plans here, as they held Sioux Falls out of the endzone and picked up the upset here, 8-4.
Next, we head to the rainy northwest, as the Allentown Ambassadors face the Seattle Mountaineers. Seattle only needs to win here to wrap up the no. 3 spot in the playoffs, and they don't disappoint here. Seattle out gains Allentown yardwise, and even though they had 2 turnovers, they sacked the Ambassadors quarterback 5 times, on the way to a 21-0 shutout win.
The following game featured another battle in the Great White North, as the Manitoba Mavericks faced off against the Calgary Comets. This was a close one all the way, but Calgary was too much for the Mavericks, and they win their division with this one, 29-19.
We head to the land of Wales, as Grand Rapids travels to face Swansea. The Red Dragons could win the division here, while Grand Rapids was just playing for pride, as they were in the playoffs already. This was another game where neither team could get in the endzone, but the Fighting Pike could get close enough, as K Brouse went 3/3 and helped the Pike win this one, 12-0.
From Wales to Nebraska, the next matchup featured the Athens Golden Eagles facing the Lincoln Lightning. The Eagles looked to win the division here, while the Lightning looked to finish the season opposite of how they started it. It was another close game, but Lincoln QB Kovarik made his point here, going 15/19 for 173 yards and 2 TDs, as the Lightning knocked the Eagles out of the playoffs, 22-11.
The final matchup featured Team Delirious going up against the Stockholm Icestorm. Team Delirious had this one under control the entire time, and finished off the Icestorm's season, 22-10.
That does it for the regular season. Tune in soon as the final standings will be posted and the playoff pairings will be set. But for now, we're out of time! This is Howard Cosell saying Good Night!

* The opening theme plays, and the voice-over proclaims, "This is the WFL on WBC!* Hello, everyone, and welcome to the first week of the WFL Playoffs. This is Bob Costas, and before we head over to Howard, let's take a look at the final stat leaders of the regular season.PASSING:
Most Yards: QB Humberson (Portland), 2794 yards
Most Touchdowns: QB Humberson (Portland), 26 TDs
RUSHING:
Most Yards: RB Moseby (Swansea), 1874 yards
Most Touchdowns: RB Caney (Lincoln), 16 TDs
RECEIVING:
Most Yards: WR Brockett (Vancouver), 1334 yards
Most Touchdowns: WR Dollins (Grand Rapids), 12 TDs
DEFENSE:
Most Tackles: DT Hagarty (Beijing), 82 Tackles
Most Sacks: DT Spulick & Navalta (Athens), 11 Sacks
Most Interceptions: Wernett (Beijing), 6 INTsSEASON MVP: QB Humberson (Portland)The biggest surprise of the second half would have to be the Lincoln Lightning. They started out going 1-6, losing six straight after winning the first game. However, they go 6-1 in the last six games, finishing 7-7 and barely missing the playoffs.
But enough of stats and surprises, let's begin the action and head over to Howard Cosell.Thank you, Bob. Good evening, sports fans, and welcome to the playoffs! This is Howard Cosell, bringing you all the action and excitement, as we head towards Gooker Bowl I! Let's get things underway!* The highlights theme rolls, as the playoff highlights begin.* First off, Swansea @ Calgary. The Red Dragons squeaked in the playoffs at the no. 4 spot, going up against the no. 1 seed Comets, who dominated the Red Dragons 29-7 back in Week 4. But this one was not even close, as the Comets were shut out of the endzone, and had to rely on two field goals. But this wasn't enough, as Swansea scored three times, upsetting the second-best Comets, 21-8, and advanced to the R.D. Conference Championship.
Who would join them in the Conference Championship? That would be decided, as the no. 2 seed Sioux Falls hosted the Grand Rapids Fighting Pike. The Pike faced off against the Outlaws in Week 10 in a close 19-11 victory. But this one wasn't even close, as the Pike took down the Outlaws, and advanced to face the Red Dragons, 21-4.
In the Blade Conference, the no. 1 Portland Settlers took on the no. 4 Team Delirious. These two met up in Week 2, with Portland pounding Team Delirious, 32-7. This one was much different, as both teams turned the ball over on their first possessions. It was a tough battle going into the fourth quarter, as Team Delirious held a 14-4 lead. But Season MVP Humberson led the Settlers to a dramatic comeback, leading to an Elway-like drive late, scoring a touchdown and leading the Settlers to a comeback win, 18-14.
The next matchup featured the Indiana Injuns facing off against the Seattle Mountaineers. These two met up in Week 9, with the Mountaineers taking a 12-0 win there. But this one was different. The Injuns jumped out to a 14-0 lead early, and held the lead throughout the game. The Mountaineers scored a touchdown late, but failed the 2-point conversion, and the Injuns took the win here, 14-6.
With the Conference Championships set up, it's looking to be an exciting match-up in both. But we're out of time for now. This is Howard Cosell saying good night and Happy Thanksgiving!

WFL News and Tidbits.
The WFL continues to look at possible expansion locations as a way to expand the league to bring in more revenue.
"If we expand to 20 teams," a league spokesman says, "We can expand the playoffs to 6 teams in each conference, there-by giving more teams chances to make the playoffs, thereby increasing revenue."
It is also being looked into changing overtime.
"As it was shown throughout the season, there were a lot of games that were low-scoring affairs. Many people like low scoring affairs, but many people also like shootouts.
So, we are looking into possibly changing the overtime rules. We have also looked into possibly switching to an arena style game, or lengthening the quarters from 10 to 12, possibly up to 15 minutes per quarter.
We're not saying this first season was a failure, by any standards. We feel that this season was success, but we feel there could be some tweeking to make it a little better for everyone."
It is looking like all the owners will meet to decide on some of the changes, if there will be any changes. These meetings will take place, though, after the inaugural Gooker Bowl.
Also: If anyone is really good at photoshopping, would they mind making a Merle Vincent Memorial Cup for me so that I can present it to the Inaugural Champions?

* The opening theme rolls, as the voice-over proclaims, "This is the WFL on WBC!"* Good evening, sports fans, and welcome to the Conference Championship week of the Wrestlecrap Football League! This is Howard Cosell, reporting to you from the WFL Headquarters in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. This week, the Conference Champions are crowned and the inaugural Gooker Bowl will be set! Let's get to the action!* The highlights theme rolls, as the video begins.* First off, the R.D. Conference Championship: the Swansea Red Dragons at the Grand Rapids Fighting Pike. A battle of the two Wild Card teams. These two met in the last week of the season, with Grand Rapids shutting out Swansea in that meeting, 12-0. But this one was much different. Swansea scored first on a touchdown, while Grand Rapids could only gain a field goal. This was the basic the first half, as neither team could gain much more. But it was much different in the second half. Swansea scored again, making the score 14-4. But Grand Rapids hit another field goal to make it a close 14-8. But the Red Dragons finished them off, scoring once more, and gaining the conference crown, 21-8, keeping the Cinderella Story alive.
Onto the Blade Conference Championship: the Indiana Injuns at the Portland Settlers. Unlike the last one, this one was a battle of Division champs looking to add a Conference Championship to their resume. But like the other conference championship, these two met in Week 14 as well, with Portland defeating Indiana 28-4 in that meeting. This was no different, as Portland was in control from the start of the gun. Settlers QB Humberson led the way, helping the Settlers down the Injuns and take the conference crown, 35-0.
And with that, Gooker Bowl I is set. Portland v. Swansea. But that's it for this week! This is Howard Cosell, saying so long and see you at Gooker Bowl I!*A video highlight begins to play, as a special theme plays in the background.* The Swansea Red Dragons.
7-7 in the Regular Season.
No. 4 seed in the playoffs.
No one gave them a chance.....
Except themselves.
The Portland Settlers.
12-2 in the Regular Season.
Division Champions, No. 1 seed.
They look to continue their domination.GOOKER BOWL ISwansea vs. Portland

GOOKER BOWL MEDIA DAY!
*Earlier today, the media was able to talk to both head coaches of the Swansea Red Dragons and the Portland Settlers. Here is a snippet of what was said by both coaches. We start off with the Swansea head coach.*
You were 7-7 and a no. 4 seed in the playoffs. How were you able to rally your team and score two major upsets, defeating top seed Calgary, then beating 10-win Grand Rapids?
Well, quite simply I tried to encourage the philosophy of respect and oppression to my players. Wales has been oppressed by the rest of the Isles for years, and it's time we brought some respect back to the greatest nation of the United Kingdom. The colleges in the States say they can smell Roses this time of year - we smell leeks. We will be victorious again in the Gooker Bowl!
Many overlooked you as just another team that would fall early on in the playoffs. But now that you're in the Gooker Bowl, do you see the opposition making the same mistake?
Not this time. Portland hired a drug-addled basketball player for their marketing division - they obviously know nothing of true competition, or the will to survive, that we, The Red Dragons, have.
Going into the championship game, you are seen as the perennial underdog. Do you think that's something to be proud of, or does it bother you a bit?
Being an underdog is quite better than being out of the running. It is also quite different than being out of the running. I am proud to be coaching the greatest football team in the world, and we will be proud to win the Gooker Bowl, and raise the trophy high post-game.
Alright, thank you much, coach.
*Later the Portland head coach was also interviewed.*
It was looking like you would be able to exact revenge on the Calgary Comets after the tough loss to them back in Week 8. But after the first round, they were surprisingly gone after the first round. Were you dejected at this chance, or does it truly matter who you play?
No, it doesn't truly matter. After this weekend, I know that Calgary will whine and complain that they should be champions, since they beat us in week 8, but that's the way the cookie crumbles, eh? Winning is winning. Winning when it counts is winning when it counts, obviously, they couldn't make that distinction.
There's been some possible controversy as your organization is looking to sign disgraced Oregon RB LeGarrette Blount after the season. Do you think this is going to cause any distractions for your team?
Rumors of Legarrete's signing are quite exaggerated -- why would we sign a 5th string running back from a school that waited until the last game of the season to clinch their conference? That's why I refuse to let Big XII, SEC, and MAC players from my team. Win your conference BEFORE the last game, at all costs.
Swansea has been seen as the perennial underdog during the playoffs, yet they have knocked off each team they've come up against. Does this concern you a bit, or do you see it differently than most people?
Betting means squat on the field. Betting means squat period. When you walk up to a slot machine, and put your last 20 dollars in it, rather than buying bread and cheese for your family, and on that last penny, you strike it rich and hit the jackpot, you were the underdog. It doesn't matter that you were because now you have a giant check for 1.3 million dollars and women in those poofy feather hats on either side of you. The only difference is that Swansea's gonna starve this night, that last penny's gonna fall into our machine and get eaten right up.
Thank you for your time as well, coach.
*It is interesting to note that both these teams met in the first week of the inaugural season, with Swansea winning 22-8. But since then, it's been somewhat of a different road for each team. After the loss, Portland went 12-1, with their only other loss being to the Calgary Comets, going 12-2. But the Red Dragons have had a much tougher road, going 6-7 and barely making the playoffs with a 7-7 record. But win-loss records will be thrown out the door as this is for it all: The Merle Vincent Memorial Cup.*

* The opening theme rolls, as the voice-over proclaims, "This is the WFL on WBC! Tonight, Gooker Bowl I: The Swansea Red Dragons vs. The Portland Settlers!"* Good evening, sports fans, and welcome to Gooker Bowl I! This is Howard Cosell, bringing you the action from Howard Wood Field, the host site of Gooker Bowl I! Tonight, it was the top team in the league, the Portland Settlers, facing off against the Cinderella Story known as the Swansea Red Dragons. Let's get to the action!* The highlights theme begins, as the video rolls.* Both teams entered out of their separate tunnels, rushing onto the field of play. In the first quarter, both teams were sluggish, as neither one could start out strong. But then, the Settlers settled in and showed the world why they had the best record in the league. Led by season MVP Humberson and RB Rodi, the Settlers moved up and down the field with ease.
On the other side, the Red Dragons struggled, showing the world this was a different team than what the Settlers faced in Week 1 when the Red Dragons dominated, 22-8. Swansea looked lost in this one. They could not get anything going, throwing picks and fumbling at the most opportune moment for them to capitalize. Portland capitalized on these mistakes and dominated the second half as well. In the end, the Settlers were too much, and this match-up was completely different, as the Settlers stomped the Red Dragons, 35-0.
Also in a first, there were Co-MVPs of the game announced instead of just one MVP. Portland QB Humberson backed his season MVP up with a Co-MVP, going 15-24 for 282 yards and 4 touchdowns, having a 142.7 QB Rating. The other half of the tandem was Portland RB Rodi, who had 17 carries for 105 yards with 1 touchdown. Rodi also had 12 receptions for 101 yards and 2 touchdowns. But it was the whole Portland team that celebrated, as each member got to hold the coveted Merle Vincent Memorial Cup as the 1st ever Wrestlecrap Football League Champions.
That's all for this season. This is Howard Cosell, saying so long for now!

So what are the rules about draft picks?
Can we like draft seven plays currently playing in the nfl or legends or do we have to draft seven players out of this years draft class?Or is it just free form where we can draft whatever we want?

The Icestorm of Stockholm are understandably upset with how the inaugural season went for them, finishing 4-10. However, this has led to some aggressive moves planned for the off-season. While it has been reported already that the Icestorm are eyeing Central Michigan QB, Dan LeFevour to give the struggling offense a boost, they also want to put some focus on the other side of the ball. While no names have been named yet, they are looking at using an early draft pick on a current Senior star defensive lineman.
Meanwhile, the Mavericks of Manitoba (5-9) have announced they will draft University of Cincinnati QB, Zach Collaros. No word on why they chose him over Tony Pike, but rumor is they made the call while Pike was injured. Manitoba is also hoping to get Cincinnati WR, Mardy Gilyard, to add some instant QB-WR chemistry to the offense, but nothing official has been announced yet.

Spyke asked me this, and I figured this: draft whoever you want. NCAA, NFL, CFL, AFL, UFL, retired, go for it. I'm a little on the fence about drafting players that have passed on, but if you really want him, I will have no objections. OBJECTION!!Shut up, Phoenix. And go get me some damn coffee!

*BREAKING WFL NEWS*
The City of Los Angeles has officially joined the Wrestlecrap Football League. The city of L.A. has funded the team that will be now known as the Los Angeles Flash, taking the logo of a lightning bolt in a circle, while using Red & Yellow as their official colors.
This causes some controversy, as the Lincoln Lightning also use a Lightning Bolt, as well as Red & Gold for their colors. Lightning owner dispelled these rumors of controversy. "I'm just happy that we have another team in the league. More teams means more revenue for the league. Hell, this could be the beginning of an awesome rivalry. Flash/Lightning. The results could be SHOCKING."
Also in the midst of controversy is many questioning what the reaction of Central City superhero The Flash would be, knowing that the team is using pretty much the same logo that the famed superhero has used.
"I'm pretty ecstatic about it, actually," the masked speedster had to say. "In fact, the team has already told me they plan to make a special jersey for me. I've never had a jersey with my logo on it that didn't make me look like a total geek. I'm going to enjoy this. Plus, I get free hot dogs at every home game."
