The Ancient Times

Welcome to the preseason wrap up for Phoenix, it was an interesting story for most of preseason, with the whole squad gaining valuable game time and showing the coaches what they can do. Unfortunately, not every player will be able to make it to the full season, but more on that later. With a 1-3 performance in preseason things aren’t looking the best, but with a couple close games in there, there is no telling what the new coach can come up with for this team. Aaron Medina played an exhilarating last preseason game, making it to offense of the week and showing this team means business.

For now lets talk about the plan for the coming season, rumours around the training pitch is that the team wants… more victories than last season, reasonable enough, that means 3 wins at least. Can the new rookies, Free agents, and trade signings help the squad? Will the team moving to the temple of Atum-Ra mean the gods will look down favourably upon them? Only time will tell. The Elders are the first game coming up for the Phoenix, predicted by some as the division winners this year, I’m certain Phoenix will try to do something about that to stir the competition up. Onto our correspondent Sekhmet for the injury news.

Sekhmet here, with the news on injuries heading into the first game of the season, the medical bay is pretty empty, but with a heavy hitter or two struggling before the first game. WR Troy Hazard and C Brian Gaskell having probable injuries to their leg and ankle respectively. Medical staff hoping this will clear up soon if they aren’t pushed too hard if they play. FB William Halsted is struggling with a questionable foot injury, again hoping to clear up soon, but will likely miss out on the first game for health concerns. The heavy hitting injury I spoke about earlier is Levi Crapulence, picking up the injury against the Crazy wolves to his ankle, he isn’t expected to play any time soon, and may be out for a good 6 weeks still. Will the team bring in a replacement? Back to you in the pyramid.

Cheers for that Sekhmet, Unfortunate news indeed about Levi, wishing him a speedy recovery. Now as we stated earlier, not every player could make it to regular season, with regulations stating there must be a squad size of 53, over to Anubis for the details.

Thanks lads, Anubis here with the walk to the underworld, well not the actual underworld, something about regulations not allowing us to weigh the players hearts against a feather to see if they would make it to the ever after or be trapped in the underworld forever, seems like a very unfair regulation to me, regardless, that meant that unfortunately C Barry Philips and QB Hunter Neith have been cut from the squad and headed to the afterlife- I mean Waiver Wire. There are rumours of a possible 2 more cuts happening to find room and replacements if needed. But no confirmed reports as of yet, back to you in the pyramid!

That’s all for this weeks’ show, we have somehow turned from a newspaper to a show but don’t question it, we have gods and goddesses on the team none of this makes any sense. Catch us on the same channel, probably not the same time, next week!
