Cassanovas are kept loveless

Budapest - Another Victory for the Flowers!!!!!

While there were literally over a million reasons to favor the Flowers in this matchup of titans, the high-powered Cassanova offense was stymied yesterday by only two things. The first was the superior defensive effort by the Flowers, the second was the impromptu quarterback play by Ryan Longwell. The defense was flawless, holding the Cassanovas to only 111.21 points, but kinda scoring 24 points on their own. This means the defense only really gave up like 87.21 points which is still pretty good, although all of this talk sort of takes away from their real accomplishment. It is also, unfortunately, difficult to really discuss what their actual impact on the game was as they played a day after most of the rest of the team had finished scoring.

In a year when the math and history challanged fans of the PFFL have screamed for "more scoring", "less scoring", and "a little laser light that follows the football so I can figure out where it is out there", the incredible play of some team defenses have drawn scorn and ridicule. Not this week, however, as the sound play of the Flowers defense was heralded league-wide as both inspirational and heartwarming.

The other spectacular play this week came from team funnyman Ryan Longwell. In a post-game interview, the owner of the Casanovas lamented "If only Ryan Longwell hadn't thrown that pass" - or course addressing the strange field goal attempt in which Ryan Longwell recieved the hike, and then threw the ball up on a fade route into the corner of the endzone. Longwell then sprinted past the CB, ran over Jerry Porter, and caught his own pass for a touchdown. While such exciting play is always a welcome suprise in Port Moresby, Longwell was immediately cut from the squad.
