"Greetings sports fans from MFNN. I'm Ian Beymer along side of Chad Johnson to bring you the latest from the top analysts in football.

Well Ocho, here we are at the end of another exciting season in the Elite Football League, the only one that really matters. The playoffs are once again upon us, and with the wildcard round in the books, there is no one in this league that can honestly ignore the big one season turn-around success of the Parlor City Phantoms."

" You know you got that right. There's one player on this squad I've been watching all season, and the reason I requested to come on this show for the playoffs is that he reminds me of......well me.
*Video feed of Owen begins* You see this guy came out strong after being released by the Coos Bay Red Rocks. Lawrence Owen has tremendously helped out the overall impressive rookie QB Harry Knopp this season being able to adjust to bad throws. He opened a lot of people's eyes at the beginning of the season with plenty of TD grabs, but then he got injured. Well, what I really like about him is after he came back, still has the ability to break the quick feet down, and change directions. There are many top flight DBs who are much faster than Owen, but you see here last game of the season against the Witches... He bursts out of the snap to 8 yards and breaks those quick dancin feet down. The DB has no idea which direction he will go, then Lawrence just takes off on the seam route whiffing by the defender as if he was a ghost, or better yet a phantom. Now let's move forward a week to the wildcard game against the Lyon Kings. The Kings have arguably one of the best defensive back units in the league and they held Owen in check for most of the game. But you see here... late in the game that deep post route over the middle... Now this was beautiful excellent coverage by the Lyon DB, you can't cover any better than that... yet Owen somehow has the ability to come down with the catch. *Video feed of Owen ends*. This man has caught touchdown passes against some of the elite cornerbacks of the league. That is why he is one of the top chosen WRs for the Pro Bowl this season, but I really wish he had some better end zone celebrations. He was looking like one of those ballerina music boxes in the last home game against Salem"

"I think most of us out there agree Chad, but the Phantoms will have their hands full in the upcoming divisional round against a very powerful Rochester Americans team. With the very capable John Richardson at the helm, he is surrounded by a deadly RB core, an excellent group of WRs, and a great offensive line. Every team finds if very difficult to score on their defense. How good are their chances to come up with the win?"

"Well Ian, I really don't expect them to be able to go into that stadium against that caliber level team and win in a playoff situation. Hey but I have spent a little time with Owen and I will be at the game in Rochester. If he happens to score a TD, well I've taught him a thing or two and we should see something new and interesting in the end zone."

" Looking forward to it as we all are Ocho. Now we are sending it back to our studios were our analysts will be talking about the other exciting matchups in this weekend's divisional round playoffs."

Brilliant. Nice job.

doesn't help my top DB is down...should be an interesting game.

Best of luck

Good game Kabab, good luck against Grandad.

TY raidergreg. That game was a dog fight, I always felt during the game that one stupid turnover or missed FG or penalty could cost us big time. Very well played, and yes, I will need all the luck in the world to beat grandadB.

Good game and good luck PC Phantoms

Wow you are correct. That game was a close grid iron struggle for all four quarters, until about 3 min left in the 4th. Larwence Owen was finally able to release from your sticky coverage on a post corner route in the end zone. The only sad part about that TD catch is when Owen popped up from the turf, he began the salsa end zone dance. Well Chad Johnson was reported saying that is what he taught him, but he looked more like a pregnant lady that just went into labor. I mean the home crowd was booing so loud, but it wasn't only because of the Phantom TD.

My 8 year old son enjoyed watching the game with me, and he said it felt like we were watching a real game on TV.

Well Cooter, was a heckuva playoff game. It looked pretty bad for us with a minute to go in the first half down 14-0, nothing had worked well on offense, and we were lucky that we wernt down more than 14 if it hadnt been for a couple of fumbles. Getting the 60 yarder by Jones was huge at that point. You had us in that one, and we got off the hook, always fun and a tough battle playin against you Cooter, c ya next season. And now its my bud from Ireland up next, with a well rested bunch of Geechees! cheers

Tough loss B7N; that was a weird one for sure.
KR TD to start things off (I think the first of the season for me) and you were all over us in the first half. We did precious little offensively in the second half also, but came through with a few long scoring drives and white-knuckled it to the final whistle.
Good luck this off-season!

That's very cool. Glad the 8 yr old had fun too.

Good luck the rest of the way PC.
