Spoiler Sport Play-Off Spectacular!

Hello Everyone, Cotton McKnight here. Welcome to Spoiler Sport: Play-Off Edition. Here on the Ocho! The FFL meat-grinder known as the Play-Offs are taking their toll on the remaining teams. The final four hoped to rise above the competition, but only two could prevail on their way to the Universe Bowl.

The Hebert Division was well represented in the Stan Lee Conference Finals, as Team Sleeping Pussy battled The Royal Highness. The Highness' MVP Yoda got things started off right, until Spider-Girl Mattie Franklin forced his own lightsaber into him via her trusty web-shooters! She soon met her own Doomsday, along with other fellow Pussies. The Pussies' Aspen finally ended The Kraken's
ocean dominace, while the ever dangerous Dr. Manhattan fell to the advanced weaponry of The Enterprise. This intense battle culminated with The Pussies' Mimic attempting to aid The FFL through NFG Mike. Whether this information is of any use remains to be determined, given NFG's noted vices. Both were soon destroyed by Cyborg DoomsKang, along with the Enterprise, although he managed to save Heather Houslander en route to a Highness win! Has Kang turned over a new leaf, or is there something far more sinister afoot?!? I know I'm supposed to tell you something here, but what? Why... Why can't I remember Season 5? ....... AHEM...... Excuse me folks, I apologise. That was unprofessional...

The Lucas Conference featured a rematch from Universe Bowl 2: George Washington's Slaves versus The Horsemen of Apokolips! Neither team gave an inch, nor expected less than the best from their rival. The Horsemen were lead by the dreaded Witch King of Angmar, while George Washington himself commanded The Slaves. The skyline of The Play-Off Planet got a little remodling done courtesy of a dogfight between Top Gun Maverick and Megatron. The mutually assured destruction took both of them off the battlefield! Slaves' Play-Off MVP Sauron delivered a legendary performance, culminating with the deaths of The Horsemen's Witch King, Flamebird, Dracula, and even Superman! A version of the first Horseman, Vampire Achilles, put an end to Sauron's kiling spree, sending him to the FFL Graveyard! George Washington thinned the Horsemen's ranks atop a Sandworm, unfortunately, this deadly duo were stopped by the unlikely combination of The Technodrome, Tripticon, and The Dragonzord, The Triple-Techno-Dragonzord! It was crippled in the fight, and was ultimately destroyed by The Middle-Aged Canadian-Hockey Players. In the end, it boiled down to a lively two on two struggle between The Slaves' Leader George Washington and Black Lantern Han Solo and The Horsemen's Green Ranger Tommy and renegade OA Guardian Scar. This close range melee ended with Scar as the only remaining member of either team standing when the smoke cleared. The Horsemen of Apokolips sent 12 Slaves to The Graveyard on their way to an unprecidented third Universe Bowl! Congratulations are in order for Horsemen owner Ryan for acheiving this impressive feat! Respect is also due to the Slaves, who showed why they have been among the most successful franchizes in FFL history!

This means that Universe Bowl 6 will feature the unlikely match-up of The Horsemen of Apokolips versus The Royal Highness! The Horsemen obviously have the experience edge, and their prior meeting can only boost The Horsemen's confidence! On the other side, The Royal Highness has been rolling at the right time, and their owner is desperate to redeem his previous failures! The sheer number of natural rivalries in this match mean that Destiny herself may have played a part in this epic battle! Good luck to both both teams in what is sure to be a worthy addition to The Universe Bowl tradition!

We now head to our special guest correspondant for The FFL Consolation Rounds! Chris, it's all yours! Chris? Um, where's Chris?

3... 2... 1...

WELCOME TO FFL... IS... JERICHO!!! I'm your host, known to the Jerichoholics as Y2J!!! The rest of you ham and eggers can simply refer to me as The Living Legend!!! We're here at some random auto parts store in the middle of nowhere to interview the MVP for the second Consolation Round. And what's your name, cupcake?

"I'm Billy Mitchell, the expert video game player. "Mr. USA!" I hold world records in..."

Hey, I didn't ask for your life story, junior. We all know that you are a hot sauce slinging also-ran, but how could you beat up a helpless woman in a parking lot?

"I figured you might know, Chris..."

................ Aaaaand thats all the time I have for this week. In the meantime, don't be a FROOT! Buy my book: "A Lion's Tale." I'M KING OF THE WORLD!!!

Thanks Chris! That about wraps it up for Spoiler Sport for this week... What's that Pepper? I thought we'd give you the week off due to the low number of teams...
Oh! Pepper is determined to bring you the Graveyard Resurrection points for this week! Take it Pepper!

"Muh muhmuh muh muhhmuh muh muhmuh muhmuh muh muhmuh muh. Muh muhmuh muh muh muh muhhmuh muh! Muhmuhm muhmuh muhmuh muh muh muhmuh muhhmuh!!! Muh muh muh muhmuh."

Now that's a trooper, ladies and gentlemen! Thanks Pepper! We will be waiting with baited breath for the outcome of The Universe Bowl, and the ultimate champion for Season 6! In the meantime, join The Ocho live tomorrow for a little fun as we feature the annual memorial golf outing in honor of Kurt! We will watch as TEAM Brotherhood of Better Royals engages the field to defend their "Worst Team" award for the second year in a row. We here at Spoiler Sport like their chances, but the looming question remains... Are their livers strong enough? Slaves owner Chris Artrip will also make an appearance, although he has stated that no autographs will be signed. Rumor has it that FFL fan favorites Jeff Houslander and Larry Reamer will be in attendance, and Watcher Nickatu may be keeping tabs on us all! Be sure to check out the Trophy case, where The Empire's owner Adam Hernandez is sure to dazzle the crowd with his master craftsmanship! Regardless of the outcome, a good time will be had by all!

While we await The Universe Bowl, the Consolation Rounds are sure to entertain, featuring a crowning of a new King of Consolation 2013! Until then, stay tuned for 52 card pick-up, live from Reno, Nevada. For The Ocho, I'm Cotton McKnight. Thank you and goodnight.

Also, I feel it is awful cliche of our Klansman commenter to hide under the cloak of Anonymity.
