The Rotters proved that the old Norse gods equate idiocy with bravery on Saturday when they took to the pitch in the middle of a thunder and lightning storm.
Several Rotters were wise enough to take shelter and wait it out, this reporter included. No gender-insensitive jokes should be made here, however, for although one such "coward" WAS a woman (and I only hid in the cab of a truck in order to more objectively report on events as they unfolded, though the wind and rain quickly turned the windshield scene into something like the front view out of a whitewater raft. It should be noted that Khalifa and Dridi scored goals in the melee), one was the proud father of daughters.
Jesse Helms, recently arrived in the Afterworld and visiting Valhalla, could be heard above the thunder, screaming "kill those liberal [expletive]s!!" Thor rolled his eyes, commented on the ineffectual new belief systems and cushy repentance clauses which allowed men like Helms into the upper regions of the Afterworld, and hurled a thunderbolt a little to the left of the pitch. "You missed on purpose!!" Helms cried.
After Thor backed down in the face of Rotter defiance, the others took the field and braved a soaking rain. Though the true battle was certainly (hu)man vs. nature, the wettest team won the day.
