Czars season-opening preview
Football, autocracies clash in season opener

Call it the battle for autocratic authority, American style.
Georgia fell to the Bolsheviks in 1917, but the Leningrad Czars will be looking to extract revenge from the suspiciously-named, Marxist-tinged Georgian Freedom Fighters in Saturday's Goal Line Blitz matchup.
It's the season-opener for both Cyrillic-speaking, Vodka-swilling teams.
The Czars will face a formidable challenge penetrating the Georgian offensive line, led by center John Wade and tackle Paul Gruber, but level 41 defensive tackle Edgar Lockett believes his unit is up to the challenge.
"They're strong, but we'll be all right," Lockett said. "We just have to play as a team, hold our gaps and get up field. I think we're better than them, but you won't get me to say that."
The Leningrad defense will be facing a balanced -- if not overly potent -- attack from Level 36 quarterback Slingin' Soloman Johnson and Level 35 halfback Ernest P Worrell. But it's that frontline that averages nearly Level 39 from tackle to tackle that poses the biggest threat.
On offense, the Czars expect to find some success behind veteran running back Emil Blonksy and formidable center Slam Stackwell, who will be facing the relatively inexperienced Major Sax at nose tackle. It's a match-up co-General Manager Jughead hinted could be key to the game plan.
"Football is about match-ups, and winning football is about winning match-ups," a coy Jughead said when asked about the Czar running attack. "We plan to win the match-ups where we match-up well, and we'll avoid the match-ups where the match-ups don't make any sense."
When told of Jughead's comment, Stackwell was obtuse.
"I just like to hit people. Just point me in a direction and tell me to hit it, and I'll hit it. I don't care who's across from me. If you told me to hit my mother, I'd hit my mother. And I love my mother," Stackwell said.
Jughead said he was not aware if there were any match-up advantages against Stackwell's mother, but he would have to consult the scouting staff before commenting.
If Leningrad can survive what is anticipated to be a physical game against the Freedom Fighters, they should be in good shape for Monday's game against the weak-kneed Estonia-based Tallinn Metsavennad.

I'm absolutely dyin' right now.
Great stuff Gad.
BTW, Gimmie 6 actually has an extra 200K of equip dollars he can't use.
Also, are we not getting paid in the offseason? Because J-BAD hasn't been getting any salary, and thus, he can't train. I have 11 training points sitting there I can't use.
