As usual, celebration time in the Scooters front office has been tempered by more bad luck.
After securing a crucial victory in the finale to take home the division championship and nail down a playoff berth, the Scooters wrapped up the regular season at 7-4-1 overall, including a tidy 6-2 mark within the division. Alas, that good news was destroyed by the revelation that tailback Frank Gore, cornerstone of the Scooters attack, has been lost for the remainder of the season due to a fractured hip.
So it appears I can add Gore to a list that includes Kenny Britt, Reggie Bush, Pierre Garcon, Nate Kaeding, Zach Miller and Kevin Kolb in terms of Scooters players that have missed multiple games due to injury this year. It’s going to take some more clever and suave general manager-ship in order to make up for this enormous loss, but at least I’ll have a shot at the title.
Because after a season that started with a mind-numbing tie, saw vital players going down nearly weekly and seemed to be ended due to the Ron Mexico Incident, it was good to see the Scooters crawl out of the fetal position and clutch the F up when it counted.
Can I pull a little more Chris Ivory-like magic out of my GM hat? Brian Westbrook, anyone? Stay tuned.
Go Scooters.
