As Season III begins, it's time for the Cleveland Mandalorians Radio Network Beginning of Season Report. I'm Melvin McIndoe, and this is Mando time!
Coach Brand continues to work on his defensive line, drafting OLB Hai Light, a powerhouse who hails from Chigasaki, Japan. Hai is a standout player from the Japanese American Style Football league, whose relative size compared to his Japanese teammates gave him a distinct advantage. Although Hai is unusually large for a man of Asian descent, it remains to be seen how well he will fit in with typical American players.
"Ferndale wanted Light kinda badly, but I saw a place fer him on my D." said Coach Brand. "'Ol Sonny was kinda givin' me th' evil eye when I picked Hai Light on my first round pick, but, hey, them's th' breaks. I'd rather have Light on my D then poundin' on my offense."
All other draft picks for Cleveland also went to improve the Mando D. Also drafted were:
S- Ronnie Hanford
CB- Hunter Nickolson
ILB- Miquel Crawford
DE- Sean Guess
"They're all strong players." said Brand. "I beefed up my D last season, an' between that an' Lem stayin' off th' injury list, we went from bein' th' worst team in th' league, ta th' playoffs, in one season. My daddy used ta tell me, If'n it ain't broke, don't fix it, but I'd have ta say fixin' up th' Mando D was a smart move."
All is not joy at the Temple, though. Late last night, the Mando organization finally released the roster cut list that has been subject to much guessing and arguing in many a sports bar from Lake Erie, all the way down to the Ohio River. Those Mando players out of a job are:
QB Lane Vulcan
C J. Philip
S K. Chex
RB V. Camp
TE K. Hartman
Rumor has it that these players arrived at the Temple today expecting to start a new season, only to find their passes revoked, and the contents of their lockers out on the curb.
"They weren't doin' nothin' but takin' up space on th' damn bench. They were takin' a paycheck from me, but doin jack squat." said an unusually harsh and to the point Coach Brand. "I might be willin' ta hire some of'em back, though-------- I c'n always use janitors and restroom attendants. "
Of the list, the only player to have ever been in the public eye was QB Lane Vulcan, who was frequently on the scene during some of star QB Lem Rorex's notorious public displays of temper.
On another note, it has come to this reporter's attention that Lem Rorex may be attempting to show a kinder attitude towards Cadaver Dennis Colby. After the Cadavers' Chili Bowl II loss, Lem is said to have sent a case of Value Time canned chili and a replica Chili Bowl II ring to Colby's Death Valley home.
"I just didn't want to have to hear the little pussy whining about not getting any chili this year." said Rorex. "The ring? I got that out of a damn gumball machine."
