Bulletin board from the coach

First match Jim: “Welcome back, sports fans, to the Amazon Temple League! I’m your ever-enthusiastic host, Jim Johnson—joined as always by the unstoppable, unbenchable, and undeniably large Bob Bifford!” Bob: “Good to be here, Jim. The jungle’s hot, the air stinks of wet goblins, and we just witnessed a debut match that had everything—touchdowns, coaching disasters, and a halfling who couldn’t even make it to liftoff.” Jim: “That’s right, Bob. The Golden Gryphons took the field for their very first match against the Grudge Girls—an experienced human squad with a lot of heart, and apparently, a catapult-powered ogre.” Bob: “And the Gryphons brought out the big guns—or at least they paid for one: the legendary Griff Oberwald. Then, in a move that has sports historians shaking their heads, the coach benched Griff for the opening drive!” Jim (shocked): “Truly baffling, Bob. That’s like hiring a wizard and asking him to hand out towels.” Bob: “It’s like buying a Deathroller and leaving it in the garage. Griff looked ready to kill something—and I think the first thing on his list was the coach.” Jim: “Still, despite that decision, the Gryphons managed to push through. Sigurd Drakenhart—real powerhouse—scored their first-ever touchdown just before halftime. The crowd went wild!” Bob: “The kind of drive you like to see. Smash first, ask questions never.” Jim (laughing): “And then the Grudge Girls responded with a... well, let’s call it a bold strategy. Ogre Stomping Stacy lined up to launch halfling Savage Sandra down the field.” Bob (grinning): “Only one problem, Jim—Sandra dropped the ball before the throw! I’ve seen squigs handle a football better!” Jim: “A painful moment for halfling fans everywhere. The jungle just sighed collectively and moved on.” Jim: “Second half kicked off, and the Grudge Girls wasted no time—Go Go Garbo sprinted past the Gryphons and tied the game 1–1.” Bob: “At that point, you’d think the Gryphons would panic—but no, finally, they sent in Griff.” Jim: “And he did not disappoint. Dodged through defenders like a ghost, scooped up the ball, and launched a perfect pass to Leo Adler!” Bob (groaning): “Only for a Grudge Girl to get in the way. Slapped that ball right out of the air like it owed her money.” Jim: “And then, miracle of miracles—it bounced into Magnus Krieger’s lap!” Bob: “It was poetry, Jim. Pure, sweaty, jungle-smelling poetry. Until Magnus tried the handoff and got absolutely flattened by a Grudge Girl. Game over.” Jim: “Final score: 1–1. A draw that felt like a win—and a loss—for both teams.” Jim: “So Bob, what’s your takeaway from the Gryphons’ first match?” Bob: “Well, Jim, they survived Lustria, scored a touchdown, and didn’t lose their ogre to a snake pit. That’s a good day for a rookie team. But if they ever bench Griff again, I say the fans should throw the coach into the volcano.” Jim (laughing): “Strong words, Bob. But fair. Here’s hoping next match we see Griff on the pitch from the first whistle—and maybe a halfling who can actually hold the ball.” Bob: “No promises, Jim. It’s Blood Bowl.”
