After devastating loses (points, physically and emotionally) the Rat Pak needed something to be proud of. The excellent weather was the sign Spank needed and the Rats were chomping at the bit to prove themselves against the near-champion Huscarls and their newest acquisition Johann Coif (#16), a human blitzer.

The first half sought with controversy from the get-go when it was revealed the (#11) Leif the Lucky wasn't very lucky at the slots and developed a minor gambling addiction that kept him out of the game for the first half. Audience participation took on an entire meaning when a riot delayed the first half for six turns. The martini flavoured sports beverage then took out 7 out of the 11 Hurcarls and then the nearsighted ref call the Huscarls on an illegal procedure which cost Humber Valley one of their kazillion re-rolls. With everything going the rats way it would take an act of the gods to stop them from scoring. Unfortunately it came in the form of a mysterious rainstorm which bogged down the rats stopping them from taking a speedy advantage over the Hurcarls. The Huscarls flexed their might by hurt Dean Smartin' who slammed his shoulder against the locker-room averting a potentially crippling injury and scoring their first of two touchdowns.

The second half had the appearance of a more civilized game, excluding a pitch invasion (probably due to the strange activites in the first half)in the third turn which dropped 4 of the Rat Pak to the cold, cold ground. The Huscarls kept the scrapping going by taking Tony Bent-it out for the rest of the game and after fumbles galore in the Rat's endzone, #5 Grif Oberwald earned his keep by scoring the second Huscarl point. The Rats would not be denied this game though and with some bad handoffs thay were able to score thanks to some fancy footwork by Dean Smartin'. When it seemed like another loss for the Rat Pak, Slammy Davis Jr. rose to the occasion by mustering uncanny abilities and leaping over the Norse wall (and Grif Oberwald) to end the game tied 2 - 2. Victory would continue after the game when the Huscarls winnings magically appeared in Spank's Swiss bank account. Organized crime is not ruled out.

>From his Grotto, Spank seemed overjoyed. "Listen Baby, when the great lounge in the shy took the Skreetman away we though we're gonna suffer more rejections than the ugly kid on prom night. But the boys pulled together under the common bond of scoring with the broads. Like Hef told me once, "If you don't swing, don't bother to ring. And we're coming out swinging baby."
