Spoiler Sport Season 6 Wrap-up!

Due to circumstances beyond our control, the anticipated Universe Bowl Edition of Spoiler Sport could not be completed in time. We regret to disappoint our fans, but an emergency situation forced our hand. We feel the video of our last rehearsal will shed light on this subject. Rest assured, we will be back and better than ever for next season!

Hello everyone, Cotton McKnight here. Welcome to Spoiler Sport: Season Six Wrap-Up. Here on the Ocho! The dust has settled and we have crowned a new champion for this year! Congratulations to The Horsemen of Apokolips for besting The Royal Highness en route to winning their second Universe Bowl and setting a new standard for the FFL!

This legendary match began with The Royal Highness' Mysterio boldly declaring victory for his team! This was not the case, as the vile Horsemen had other ideas. We all know what The Horsemen are capable of, but it seems that they sank to new depths of depravity against the benevolent Highness. Indeed, the actions of the despicable HoA reached new lows this year, none more putrid than in the Universe Bowl. The UB Trophy shall be forever tainted thanks to...

"CUT!" yells Ocho Director #17. "Cotton... Is everything ok? You don't seem like yourself today." Cotton McKnight begins to flip the pages of his script, and rapidly scans his lines. "I'm sorry, but this script doesn't seem quite right." explains Cotton. "What do you mean? It's great so far!" counters the director. "Sir, with all due respect, it's not great, its not even good. We here at Spoiler Sport strive to bring our loyal viewers an unbiased account of the FFL, not this... whatever this is. Did we hire some new writers or something?" asks Cotton. "No Cotton, its the same people we've had for quite some time now. I don't see what the problem is, from what I can tell, everything looks great so far!" replies the director. "You don't see a problem? Well, let me help. First of all, look at the adjectives describing the teams. The descriptions of The Horsemen of Apokolips are getting more negative by the minute. And I've read ahead. It only gets worse from here. By the second page, it's already devolved into a hit piece against the Horsemen. And look at this! By the third page, it's turned into a poem called "The Horsemen Can Suck It" Finally, the last page is just a string of nonsensical curse words. If this is what you call news, count me out." explains Cotton McKnight. Ocho Director #17 covers the microphone with his hand. "Cotton, I know what you are saying, and I don't like it one bit either, but this came straight from the top. We don't have a choice. I'm sorry." states the director. Cotton is stunned for a moment before gaining his composure. "Listen, I don't know what he's hoping to accomplish here, but I won't be a part of it. I'm a journalist, not some hack that will read anything put in front of him. I'm a newsman, dammit!" says McKnight angrily. "Cotton, i know. Our hands are tied. I'm sorry." says the director with a defeated look on his face. "I won't do it. This isn't right." Cotton says defiantly. "Cotton, please... think about what you are saying... there's nothing I can do to change your mind?" inquires the director. "As long as I'm a part of Spoiler Sport, this garbage will never see the light of day." declares an angry McKnight. "Well, Cotton... have it your way. You are no longer a part of Spoiler Sport. You're fired."
