The war on terror fall short of predictions, succumb to Gang Green in 123.31-100.62 romp

The war on terror failed to rise to the occasion, coming up short of projections, as Gang Green cruised to a 123.31-100.62 victory. It didn't take long to figure out who would be the frontrunner in this matchup, as Gang Green jumped out to a 59.71-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind impressive efforts from Derrick Henry and the Philadelphia Eagles defense. Henry racked up 143 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown for 25.3 points, while the Eagles defense allowed only 8 points, surrendered 240 yards, and forced a fumble (23.92 points). Courtland Sutton (8 Rec, 97 Rec Yds) and Matthew Stafford (249 Pass Yds) did everything they could for The war on terror in the loss. Gang Green (2-1) will look to notch another W against Dawg Pound, while The war on terror (2-1) try to right the ship against jetBlue.

Trust me on this one (as a coach who's practically never NOT been on the hot seat)... You can take comfort knowing that there's always that scrappy Assistant Coaching job open at the local Pop Warner team down the road! Keep pushing forward, The war on terror!
