Honest honest, I like the fact that the players personalities are different. Makes the competition thread populated by humans rather than cyborgs, and entertaining to follow. Definitely not a great player myself, but I liked to follow the high level battle this week. Maybe a week in which I have free time, and a game that I owned when kid/teenager and I can play a bit is proposed, I will play just for the fun.  

i agree. different personalities make it fun. 

bert is the same. say nothing post awesome stuff. never could get that guy to talk back lol. id like to think i rattled his cage a lil   
 



You never had to worry about getting me to talk back since I'd talk first and still win! At least you got to learn from the best when it came to trash talking by getting to play against me!

I can't disagree with that.  I do enjoy reading through the threads each week.

I've been wanting to say the same to you for a while! lol.  I think we must use different versions of the site (perhaps vintage versus normal)?  My score shows being on page 11

************************************************************************************
WEEK 8 SANTA WEEKLY NEWES UPDATE!!! - TECMO SUPER BOWL
************************************************************************************


Welcome back everyone!
After a well deserved week of rest, our contestants are back in action. Unfortunately, so is that pesky Bo Abobo... er "Adobo?"

The 2017 has produced another round of stellar performances. SEVEN players have victory margins of over 100 points as of this writing.
Are we watching one of the most historic seasons ever?
If you haven't joined in it, there is still time for you to be a part of history!

The latest chapter of the year is in the books.
Take a look at all the happenings of week 8.


***********************************************************************************
TABLEW/CHAIRS SITS ATOP OF TECMO SUPER BOWL LEADERS

Six other players able to break 100 point barrier in wild scoring spree

tablew/chairs has proven once again how dangerous of a competitor he is.
With gutsman004 leading the way most of the week with his 118-0 victory margin, tables was able to sneak by the last day with his score of 120-0.

bearcat-doug was the first to break the 100 point barrier with his 104-0 thrashing of the Clevland Browns with his beloved Bengals in a special contest submission.
This was enough motivation the goad Guts into topping that score with an intial post of 106-0.

Then, from out of the shadows came 2016 Season Champion bertsampson who momentarilly held the lead with a 118-0 win.
Bert's appearance (and score) triggered awe from many players and contest fans, but was quickly topped again by Guts who fought to hold the lead until being topped again by table. 
Take a look at the top 8 scores from the week. (also take into account that the "nose tackle glitch" was outlawed too!)

1st: tablew/chairs:  (120-0)  120
2nd: gutsman004:   (118-0)  118
3rd: bertsampson:   (116-0)  116
4th: the tall guy:   (110-0)  110
5th: dirk12121212: (105-0)  105
6th: Richardhead:  (102-0)  102
7th: Stryphos:       (87-0)    87
8th: NESKing80:     (79-0)    79

It's truly unbelievable that nobody in the top 8 had anyone score on them by the end of the week.
More proof that's the world's best play right here on NA.


**********************************************************************************
COLTS ARE NA'S WHIPPING BOY THIS WEEK

Combined records of teams used this week

Which is the best team to use to give you the best chance to win in Super Tecom Bowl?
Which team is the worst choice to play against?
Why not look at who NA's best have picked to get the best idea?

Below is a list of every team used this week records and (points for/points against).
If this game comes up again someday in the future, let this be your guide!

Each team is listed with their wins/loses with points scored vs. points against.

1st:  49ers             10-0  (838-14)
2nd:  Raiders            4-0  (234-37)
3rd:  Bills                 2-0  (108-0)
4th:  Broncos           2-0  (114-10)
5th:  Lions               1-0  (105-0)
6th:  Bengals           1-0  (104-0)
7th:  Giants             1-0  (79-0)
8th:  Bears              1-0  (70-0)
9th:  Oilers              1-0  (42-0)
10th: Dolphins          1-0  (35-7)
11th: Redskins         1-0  (24-3)
12th: Jets               1-0  (24-17)
13th: Rams             1-0  (22-21)
14th: Eagles            0-1  (21-22)
15th: Saints            0-1  (3-65)
16th: Seahawks       0-1  (0-110)
17th: Buccaneers     0-2  (13-112)
18th: Browns           0-2  (6-138)
19th: Cardinals        0-4  (3-222)
20th: Patriots          0-5  (21-323)
21st: Colts             0-11  (48-807)

Teams unused - Chargers, Chiefs, Cowboys, Falcons, Packers, Steelers, Vikings

The San Francisco 49ers (with Montana, Rice and Ronnie Lott on defense) seem to be NA's favorite with the 1989 Colts sucking it up.


************************************************************************************
UPDATE SPECIAL REPORT: CHIEF REPORTER BROCK LANDERS' INTERVIEW WITH CONTESTANT MEGA TANK!!!

Get the lowdown on the Lord of the Pennies!

Brock Landers was able to catch up with contestant Mega Tank earlier this week.
Listen in on their epic conversation!
 
BL: First off, your user name, what's the story there?
MT: "Being as original as I am I combined two games I enjoy. Mega Man, and Metal Slug. I liked the tank in Metal Slug, so that is where the Tank plays in. Mega Tank. I am not sure why, but I liked the name when I wrote it and that was that. Yes, quite a boring story."

BL: Ok, but what's the story with your original username? (PDork86)
MT:  "Friends would call me a dork. I guess knowing how to hook up a printer to a computer and do some minor troubleshooting qualified me as a dork. Not to mention I play video games. Again, my original mind P (first initial of my name) -> Dork. Hmm. Why not right? There also came 86 other people before me with that very original idea."

 Dream NES contest line-up of 5 games?  1 per genre
MT:
Arcade – Pacman
Puzzle – Tetris
Action – Mega Man/River City Ransom
Sports – Bases Loaded II
Racing – RC Pro AM

BL: What is your strongest NES game?
MT:  "I can’t say for certain which NES game I am strongest at. I do enjoy competing in the contests. I doubt I will ever pull any amazing high scores now or any day, but I really enjoy playing Tetris and reaching the higher levels and trying to “beat” the game. As frustrating as that game is and knowing it can’t be “beat” I can play that game for hours on end."

BL: What is your weakest NES game?
MT:  "I honestly never really got into Beat Em Ups. It was usually platformers, puzzles games, action and shooters for me."

Top 10 games of all time? Any system

MT:
  1. Any of the Mega Man (NES) games or Metal Slug games.
  2. Tetris (GameBoy)
  3. Mario 1 – 3
  4. Pacman (NES)
  5. River City Ransom
  6. RC Pro AM
  7. Mario Kart 64
  8. Super Street Fighter II Turbo
  9. Super Smash Bros (N64)
  10. World of Tanks (XBOX One) – Ok, let me explain. I have always liked tanks. So a game comes out that is purely 100% tanks? Seriously? How am I not supposed to put this at least as #10?
"This list varies from time to time, but right now this is my top 10 list. I am sure it does not vary much from other people’s list, but great games are great games for a reason. I can probably shuffle this list around several times later on and claim it to by my top 10."

BL: What about those dumb Battle Tank games?  Thomas the Tank Engine?
MT:  "Some 8 bit games just give me a headache. Some games are just better on newer consoles. World of Tanks got my attention as it was some friends I play GTA V with that wanted to check out the game. We downloaded it and we were all hooked on it. The graphics are amazing.
About the Thomas the Tank Engine Game… I would rather eat a Thomas Bagel than play a Thomas the Tank Engine game."
 

BL: Absolute worst game you have ever played?
MT:  "On the NES? Battle Chess. Some seriously painstakingly slow paced battles going on. Not much of a battle. I think the only “battle” going on with the game vs your patience. I like chess, but please spare me from playing this game.
Modern day console? Any non-Bungie Halo shooter game."


BL: Do you have an arch rival?  Aspiring rival?  Maybe someone you secretly yearn to crush?
MT:  "I support everyone’s effort to improve their own scores. I would imagine it is hard to create rivals this way. I mainly play for fun. If I am able to beat my own scores and use others higher scores as motivation to push my scores, then cool.
Aspiring rival? I am not sure. I wonder if anyone thinks I have a rival. Any ideas?
I hope to crush everyone’s score, but I am realistic and know that will not happen. I mainly play for fun and to crush my own score, but if I take someone else’s score down in the process… so be it!"



BL: How about MegaMartyr?  I think he's a free agent.
MT:  "Well, if anyone considers themselves a rival of mine I would gladly like to know. I got nothing against MegaMartyr. I just check scores and try to beat them as I improve my scores."

BL: Do you see any potential wins in the 2017 schedule?
MT:  "Honestly no. If I have a chance at placing in top 5 it would be maybe Super Tecmo Bowl or RC Pro AM. This is going to be a long year for the contests for me. Other than the 2 titles I mentioned, I don't think I have much of a chance. Who knows, maybe I will get lucky in one of the games I doubt I will do good in. I hope overall participation increses as it would be nice to get a really big following on these contests. We have enough people playing as it is, but whi knows, maybe more rivalries will form and perhaps push the top scorers to higher levels. Maybe over level 9000.  "

BL: What if you played for 12 hours a day, every day of the week, grinding the game into submission?
MT:  "I would hope to be able to put together a respectable score if this were the case. Since it is not, I have to put together what I can and hope the score is at least top 5. Seems tough to do, but I am up for the challenge."

BL: Married?  Girlfriend?  Boyfriend?
MT:  "I flipped the order to put everyone’s mind at ease. Sorry to disappoint, but there is a Mrs. Mega in the picture."

BL: What do you do for a living?
MT: "What do you think I do for a living?"

BL: Train conductor?
MT:  "What would ever give you that idea? I would not mind being a train conductor for a day. Anyways, I am a Special Education Teacher."

BL: Other hobbies
MT:  "I enjoy watching movies. Comedy, thrillers, sci fi, action, horror and animated movies. If something pops up on my recommended watch list on Netflix, I will give it a chance. I also enjoy fishing, going to national parks and just trying to enjoy the outdoors whenever I get a chance. I also enjoy listening to music. I listen to a lot of genres so I can’t exactly be specific."

BL: Whats the best Netflix Original?
MT:  "I have only seen a few, but out of the ones I have seen Stranger Things is by far my favorite. I had not heard of the show until the Super Bowl ad about the second season and I became interested. I saw someone else recommend it on NA and I saw it right away."

BL: Yeah that's a good one.  Speaking of the NFL, you're a Dolphins fan.  How's that working out for you?
MT:  "Tiring. Too many coaching changes. You can’t establish a team without giving a coach more than a few years. I hope Tannehill turns out to be the QB they believe he can be, but only time will tell. I believe the team overachieved last season, but we will see what the team is made of this season. I just hope they can consistently perform well enough to compete with the better teams in the league."

BL: Hypothetical here.  Tom Brady and Bill Belicheck get traded for your next 20 first round picks.  You know they'll cheat and get caught, but you're guaranteed at least one Super Bowl
For the move or against it?

MT:  "10000000000% against. I would rather the Dolphins earn a Super Bowl win than to cheat their way to a win."

BL: F@ck, marry, kill: Ryan Tannahill, Jay Fiedler, Chad Pennington
MT:  "Total strike outs. I don't play the F,M,K game.
I will rank them for you in order of preferred starting QB. Pennington, Tannehill and Fiedler."


BL: Well then let's talk about another strikeout. If you could describe Cam Newton and fantasy football in 4 words or less they would be...?
MT:  "The death of Superman? Seriously, what happened?"

BL: Cam Newton's favorite movie is The Town, ever seen it?
MT:  "No. It has Ben Affleck. The rest of the cast seems interesting. I have heard if the title, but I have never seen it. Maybe I will watch the trailer sometime and take a chance. Is it at least a decent movie?"

BL: Just the parts where Charlize Theron is naked.  If Cam was Superman, and Ben Affleck was Batman, who would win the battle of being terrible?
MT:  "Superman vs Batman was just a horrible movie. Ben Afleck wins by being so awful against Cam's Superman. I mean come on. Batman did not want to listen to Superman explain for not a second? Superman says Martha and now Batman wants to pay attention? Really? Hard to believe Batman would act in this manner."

BL: I never watched it but that is so Batman
If you were any character in The Breakfast Club, who would you be?

MT:  "I would say a light blend of the jockey and nerd."

BL: Trick question, you're actually Molly Ringwald.  Now, who is your dream date for the 80s Prom; the jock, the nerd, or the tough guy from the wrong side of the tracks?
MT:  "I don't remember her story in the movie. I would assume the Jockey? Is that not the prom date all girls hope to get?"

BL: Only if he's hung like a horse.  Ok, let's switch gears for a second. 
Go-gurt or yo-gurt?

MT:  "Yogurt."

BL: Greek yogurt or (regular?) yogurt?
MT:  "If it is greek yogurt then I prefer the ones with the toppings in a separate compartment on the lid. If it is regular yogurt, Yoplait any flavor. None of that "whipped" yogurt though, that stuff sucks."

BL: Fruity Pebbles or Chocolate Pebbles?
MT:  "Life Cinnamon cereal."

BL: Do you drink the sugar-milk after the cereal is all gone?
MT:  "Doesn't everyone? I thought it was common practice."

BL: Cam prefers Cinnamon Toast Crunch.  Thoughts?
MT:  "Cam should try some Wheaties for the upcoming season. He needs to change something up. Hopefully he can get back to his winning ways."

BL: Ted Cruz or Ted Turner or Ted Nugent?
MT:  "Atlanta Braves."

BL: Braves fan eh?  How's that working for you?
MT:  "The Atlanta Braves are cool. I am a Marlins fan, but I don't dislike the Braves even though they are division rivals. I was lucky enough to see the Braves play at Turner Field last year. The Braves chant is cool as heck. Turner Field is a nice stadium. What a shame they will no longer be using it."

BL: Mighty Bomb Jack or Ghosts n Goblins?
MT:  "It wouldn't be fair for me to pick either. I have not played them much. I played Mighty Bomb Jack a few months ago. It was alright."

BL: Even though they were both weekly contest games?  You know what guillavoie always says; you don't beat 100% of the games you don't not play or something.  Must be a Canadian expression
MT:  "I remember playing Ghosts N Goblins and putting up a crappy participation score."

BL: Battletoads or Double Dragon?
MT:  "How can someone not pick Battletoads in this question? I haven't beat the game, but one day I will."

BL: Whats the deal with the penny bids?
MT:  "As for the penny bids. I just felt like doing something different. Plus, a lot of people do not appreciate pennies. Money is money. Have you paid in pennies before? The cashiers have no idea what to do. They are confused and think it is a joke. In high school I rounded up my pennies once to pay for fast food. The food came out before they got done counting.  "

BL: If you were any character in Star Wars, who would you be?
MT:  "R2D2 or K-2SO. They just get the job done one way or another."

BL: Correct.  What do you make of the Hot dog cult on this site?
MT:  "Clearly it is causing awareness and exposing the dangers of over eating hotdogs. I say NA is just the beginning."

BL: Hypothetical.  You win a game of Tecmo Super Bowl 130-0,  good enough to win this week's contest.  Right as you prepare to submit your photo with 10 minutes remaining, you notice a rather distressing wardrobe accident captured in the corner of the frame. Do you submit the pic?
MT:  "Edit if possible.  If not, ride that score submission hard to NA glory. This is how legends are made."

BL: Phrasing. 
Toxie is now TheToxieRules.  What do you make of that?

MT:  "So many name changes lately. I am waiting until the dust settles to see what the final form will be. Must have been the Pokemom Go craze and Pokemon evolving."

BL: What do you think really happened to Richard last year?
MT:  "I don't know what happened to Richard. I am not sure the world is prepared for the Denver crew. They can't be stopped, you can only hope to contain them."

BL: MissTrixy seems pretty enough.  How'd Richard trick her into slumming it up with him?
MT:  "The world works in mysterious ways. As long as Richard is happy, then who cares?"

BL: Who would win in a fight; Bea, Richard, or the car?
MT:  "I think Bea wins. Did you read what she did to that one guy?"

BL: I think he's dead.  Why does Bea pretend to be unable to beat Metal Man?
MT:  "Bea pretends to not know to how beat a lot of games. Then out of nowhere, POW top 3 score. We know she knows more than she says she knows."

BL: Who can bench press more?  Gutsman or  bertsampson?
MT:  "I say we make them prove which one bench presses more, screw speculating make them compete for the crown!"

BL: What is a klax or a klu klu?
MT:  "You mean to tell me you have not hear of Klax/Connect 3? What?"

BL: Is Trog racist?
MT:  "Trog! I own it, but I have not palyed it. I will report back with my findings at some point."

BL: Will Doug ever play again or is he too scared?
MT:  "The only Doug I thought was worth keeping track of aired on TV. That show is long gone. Oh wait, the other DOug. Yea, I am sure he will come back to play again.  "

BL: F@ck, marry, k- er wait...
Mostly platonic date, marry, kill; bimmy, guillavoie, Doug

MT:  "Again with the 3 question game I don't play. I would hope to be able to kill all three of their scores, but I doubt I will."

BL: Who should we interview next week?
MT:  "An interview for next week. I would pass it over to gutsman004 or skinnygrinny."

BL: Prediction for 2017 champion?
MT:  "I hope 2017 has a strong showing for the Weekly Contests. I hope more rivalries form and more newcommers join. As for predicting a champion... I will go with my fellow Dolphin's fan and say skinnygrinny."

BL: ...and lastly, any final words for our readers?
MT:  "If I beat you, sorry.  If I don't, I am sorry I did not push you further.   I would like for everyone to have fun during the Weekly Contests and I definitely encourage others to join. Sometimes we play a game and never play it again as a result of not having much interest or a goal in mind, but participating in the contests has actually given me a new appreciation for previously unplayed titles. I hope anyone reading this that has not participated gives the contests a shot, for those already participating, I hope to destroy your score. Thanks to all those running the contests and thanks to all participating! Catch you all on the leaderboards! 
"

AMAZING, entertaining and informative interview!
Thanks for Brock for doing a great job and thanks to Mega Tank for the in-depth answers.
Will you be the next person to be contacted for a Brock interview?
Keep an eye on your inboxes!

**********************************************************************************
That's it for this week's late update!

- Will someone in Colorado get their hands on a Bedazzler?
- How does Moist Towelette know so much about roofing?
 - Will anyone ever get a full set of Monsters of the Gridiron cards?

Keep tuning into the contests to find out!

Uhhhhhh...I would not pick Battletoads  

Awesome write-up this week, Santa.  Brock and Mega Tank, that was an awesome interview!  Truly a good read.  I'm looking forward to seeing more interviews in the future

From my little neutral spectator experience following the contest in interesting weeks, table always talks little, but delivers heavy scores. Excluding him from potential victory challengers in a week he is competing, you underestimate him I think. He seems a really consistent challenger to me every time he plays.


I guarantee if we played each other head to head in person I would crush him. 

Yes I am not happy. No way you beat me at this game in person. NONE!!!!

And can everyone quit drooling over this guy already? Geez....

Calm down and be nice, please.  If there's a problem, PM me.

Okay everyone, time for that special thing I was hinting at the other night...it's a random prize drawing!  With Easter just a week away, it's time for the Easter Bimmy to bring you all an early Easter treat.  The prize up for grabs this time around is a cart-only copy of Jackal for the NES.  The game has some sticker residue on the front label and a little bit on the top of the cart near the end label, but other than that, it's in really good shape.  I have cleaned and tested the game on my front-loading NES and it worked the first time.  The winner will not be disappointed in this game    For those of you who are new to the contests this year and the random prize drawings, here's how they work.  Anyone who participated in the contest this past week (Tecmo Super Bowl) will automatically be entered into the drawing.  I have assigned everyone a number at random from 1 to 26 (we had 26 participatns this week).  I will use a random number generator to detrmine the winner of the prize.  Participants are only allowed to win one random prize drawing per year (to make it fair for everyone to have a shot at a prize).  First of all, here is a picture of the game:



And here is everyone's number:

1 - Seppatoni
2 - barrelsAndRivets
3 - Krunch
4 - arnpoly
5 - Commander Santa
6 - ninjistar
7 - Murray
8 - the tall guy
9 - tablew/chairs
10 - Mega Tank
11 - EgasKrad
12 - dirk12121212
13 - MissTrixy
14 - Stryphos
15 - skinnygrinny
16 - bertsampson
17 - SuperJimtendo
18 - Brock Landers
19 - NESking80
20 - zobber
21 - smick
22 - gutsman004
23 - Richardhead
24 - Bea_Iank
25 - mbd39
26 - Philosoraptor

I will announce the winning number shortly.  Good luck everyone!

Thank you Santa for reporting the latest news. And thank you Brock Landers for that very special interview with NintendoAge member Mega Tank. What an entertaining discussion! We now turn to sports where our very own April O'Neil is down on the football field with the lead quarterback for Team Bimmy, Bimmy Elway. Take it away, April!

APRIL: Thanks Bimmy! I'm here with famed quarterback, Bimmy Elway, whose team was challenged to a game of football by Team Adobo this past week. Bimmy, what can you tell us about Team Adobo?
BIMMY: Well, April, we've never played these guys before. Team Abobo was suddenly destroyed when I happened to kill all their players a couple weeks ago and...

APRIL: Wait, you KILLED them all!?
BIMMY: Um...uh...I mean...uh...they all just mysteriously vanished. Yeah...vanished. Team Abobo is all gone. So suddenly, these new guys calling themselves "Team Adobo" show up...and they look a lot like Bo Abobo and his crew.

APRIL: So, what was the outcome of the game?
BIMMY: Well, we never finished it.

APRIL: You guys didn't finish the game?
BIMMY: Nope, not at all. We only got about halfway through before it ended.

APRIL: Wait, none of this makes any sense. First you say the game wasn't finished and then you say it ended halfway through a normal football game? What the heck happened?
BIMMY: I'll tell you what happened, those stupid Adobos are a bunch of CHEATERS!

APRIL: They cheated?
BIMMY: Yep, those dummyheads are no better than those stupid Abobos were.

APRIL: Well, how did they cheat?
BIMMY: First of all, they swapped out all of the balls with deflated ones so they could handle them better. I should have known it was bound to happen. I mean, their star quarterback's name was Bo AboBrady. If you're a quarterback with a last name like Brady, you've got to be a cheater.

APRIL: Bimmy, isn't that a bit harsh to say?
BIMMY: Nope, not at all. Sometimes, the truth hurts.

APRIL: Did they cheat in any other way?
BIMMY: They sure as hell did! Every time I went to throw the ball, they would nose dive tackle me! Like, what the hell? It was forbidden in the rules this week!

APRIL: Forbidden in the rules this week? I'm not following...
BIMMY: Didn't you read the rules for the contest this week? Nose dive tackling was forbidden!

APRIL: I must have missed that part...
BIMMY: If you're asking me a stupid question like that, you obviously didn't read the rules, did you, April?

APRIL: Bimmy, calm down.
BIMMY: Sorry, I can't help it.

APRIL: So, what else did they do?
BIMMY: We didn't give them a chance to try to cheat anymore, so we decided to play their own game against them.

APRIL: So you guys cheated too?
BIMMY: I wouldn't call it cheating. I would call it creative thinking.

APRIL: So you guys did cheat.
BIMMY: They used nose dive tackles on us, so why shouldn't we use it on them?

APRIL: And what happened when you used it on them?
BIMMY: Well, one of our guys caught Bo AboBrady with a nose dive tackle, knocking his helmet free. That was when the unthinkable happened.

APRIL: And what was that?
BIMMY: Bo AboBrady was really Bo Abobo!

APRIL: I thought you said you killed him?
BIMMY: I thought I had, too. I mean, I left him on that crumbling helipad as Jimmy, Marian, and I flew away in the helicopter and...

APRIL: Your story is changing. First you said you killed him, then you said he mysteriously vanished, and now you're saying you were responsible for his death. Are you covering something up?
BIMMY: Uh...um...uh...no...no, not at all. Bo Abobo...he...uh...just mysteriously...vanished. That's...uh...my story and...uh...um...I'm sticking to it.

APRIL: If you insist.
BIMMY: I do insist. Are we live right now?

APRIL: Yes we are.
BIMMY: Oh. Well, can't you go back and edit out any mention of killing?...not that I actually killed anyone...

APRIL: No, we can't. I said it was live TV.
BIMMY: Well !$%@ing mother!$%@ing !$%@

APRIL: Bimmy, you can't say those words on TV.
BIMMY: Well, I just said them, didn't I?

APRIL: Moving along, what happened when Bo AboBrady was revealed to be Bo Abobo?
BIMMY: My eyes bugged out of my head and my jaw dropped to the ground like the Battletoads when they see a large enemy approaching. I'll tell ya, I was more surprised than the time my brother, Jimmy, found out his blind date was a tranny. But that's a story for a different day...

APRIL: What did Bo Abobo, or Bo AboBrady, or whatever his real name is, do once he realized that his identity had been revealed?
BIMMY: He tried to run from the field, but we tackled the other players on his team to see who they really were.

APRIL: And who were they?
BIMMY: AboreMukong Suh was really Abore, Bolo Butkus was really Bolo, and Burnov Berry was really Burnov!

APRIL: Bimmy, how did you not know Team Adobo was really Team Abobo in disguise? They didn't really do a clever job of hiding their real names.
BIMMY: Because their names were Bo AboBrady, AboreMukong Suh, Bolo Butkus, and Burnov Berry. I would have never guessed their identities based on the names they were using.

APRIL: And you claim Team Abobo is full of idiots...
BIMMY: Yeah, they are. They called themselves Team Adobo. That's so close to Team Abobo. Anyone could figure that out.

APRIL: But apparently you couldn't...So, tell me more about what happened once you unmasked all of Team Adobo.
BIMMY: Knowing that their secret identities were compromised, they all ran from the field in a hurry. I had never seen the Abobos run so fast in my life! They ran faster than a fat person chasing after a doughnut, Sonic the Hedgehog running through 20 consecutive loops in the Green Hills levels, the Beat 'Em and Eat 'Em dude jacking it from the roof of a building, and even more faster than Dick Vitale shoving dollar bills into a stripper's g-string while he screams "Awesome, Baby!"

APRIL: What happened next?
BIMMY: We chased after them, but in typical Bo Abobo fashion, he let out his really loud and disgusting fart. It smelled so bad that we all passed out on the field.

APRIL: So that's why you couldn't finish the game?
BIMMY: Pretty much. When we all came to, the Abobos were long gone, but the fart smell still lingered in the air.

APRIL: Gross. So, is there any way we can go back to the locker room so I can interview more members of your team?
BIMMY: Oh hell no! Those stupid Abobos broke the lock we put on the locker room door and got in there while we were all passed out. They did unspeakable things in there!

APRIL: Like what?
BIMMY: Well, it appeared that ALL of them plugged up our toilets like five times over. Mario Bros. Plumbing won't even touch them! We are going to have to call in Wrecking Crew Remodeling to completely redo the locker room. I won't even tell you about the other vile things they did in there. I'll let your mind wander on that one.

APRIL: Plugged up toilets...sounds like a "crappy" job to have to unclog them.
BIMMY: April...you suck at puns. Just don't try to do them...Ever again.

APRIL: Any last words before we head back to the studio, Bimmy?
BIMMY: Yeah, as a matter of fact, I do. Bo Abobo, if you're out there, I'm going to find you. One way or another, I will. And when I do, you're going to pay. Big time. You just might find YOUR toilets clogged up one day.

APRIL: Okay, thanks for talking with us, Bimmy.
BIMMY: You can't hide from me that easily, Bo Abobo. I'll find you sooner or later. In fact, I'll find you faster than Jerbilly seeking out a hotdog stand!

APRIL: Okay, Bimmy, it's time for us to go back to the studio.
BIMMY: You think you're so smart, you dummyhead. Hiding from me and using a fake name so I couldn't recognize who you were.

APRIL: Bimmy, we really have to go.
BIMMY: Hold on, April, I'm not done. I'm smarter than you, Bo Abobo, and I'm going to get you back. Just you wait! I'll have my brother helping me, as well as the Battletoads and the Ninja Turtles and...

APRIL: Bimmy, we have other stories we have to report...
BIMMY: ...Professor T. Bird is going to help, too! Boy you're gonna be sorry when I take my fist and shove it so far up your giant, smelly, cavernous, no good fat...

Oh boy, it appears we lost the feed to April and Bimmy Elway down on the football field. Thank you both for that...engrossing...and...informative...interview. Well, that about wraps it up here. I'm Bimmy Lee from NintendoAge news saying goodnight and we'll see you next week when our feature story will be Paperboys: America's Leading Destroyer of Windows!

Very fun update, Santa. Also, very funny write up, Bimmy.  
And great interview, Brock. I am just disappointed that there wasn't any Leslie Nielsen related questions for Mega Tank.
