"It's no more or less silly than any of the other rituals teams do," Emma said to Cindy, still not acknowledging the electronic presence of the self-titled Mosh Man. "I'm going to go grab something to eat," she said to Bing. Emma then wandered over to the snack table to grab herself something to eat and drink. She didn't really want to hang out anywhere near Mosh tonight and would be rather glad when the reporters were done.

  The Stomp  Finished   with the Giant Dragon head   Breathing  fire ( and some    flames shooting  from Little   Holes in the  top side of the   video wall.

 some of the Media folks who never  saw the  Stomp at the  Club, jumped  back.

  Cindy waved   Adam Over  to her, he  frowned and turned to walk away when he saw  Mosh and Alker..she grabbed  his  arm,OHHHHH..no you don't... Comon..be a sport..

 Mosh  was still laughing , he and Alker  were wiping thier Eyes,..Hey , Little Man?  That's gotta be the Dumbest thing I ever  saw? I'd Never  do that!...

 Aker gave Mosh a Fist  Bump.

 ..Yeah, Man...I know.. you could never  do it.....

 Mosh  stopped laughing,..Oh  Yeah?  Why's  that..Little Man?

  first of all?  There's no damn way, a Guy  who is  a lousy player  as you, would..EVER...make the dragons...... The second of all?... You'er  too dumb to learn  The Stomp?...  I hear you Mother  has  to  use  crayons   in your playbook, so you can understand.... does she  dress you before games too?

 Mosh  bolted upright,..You leave  My Mama outta this!

 ..Yeah.. You'er  right.. she  suffered  enough  having you as a kid...

 Alkers  leans  forward,..I'm gonna beat you down Little man....

 ..who the hell are You?.. Horn's Understudy.. do they even play you?  what's you'er  number so I know who to look for...

 Both Men's  smiles  were gone  now.. both  were angry,..I'm Jackin your ass up man....

 ..Hey?.. I'll be one the field?  won't have to look  for me... You gonna  be on the field?..You know?.. besides  warmups and all?..

  Both men started to swear and Cindy Cut the feed,..Dammit Bronk.. that was goign  good until you pushed it too far!

 ..think that's  far?.. wait  'til sunday night

 Adam left to  grab a  drink at the Bar, the   Tender  already had a soda  waiting for him as  Miles  and His Wife  gave him a High  Five.

 ..great job!..You sure  know how to push buttons! Miles  laughed.

  His   wife Giggles,did you learn that in the debate club....

  Adam  shook his ehad  as he laughed,..East Side  Docks.. you had to talk  and you had to fight... or else you were nothing..

"Not complaining about you getting rid of that guy. Looking forward to shutting him up Sunday," Emma commented to Adam as she took a drink of the water she'd gotten. "Though I didn't think that the media was allowed to be bringing other players in to watch the party through their cameras," she added. That had annoyed her a little bit, but mostly because Mosh was an asshole with a mouth that didn't match his skillset.

 Adam   snickered,..Houston's  not   doing good, Its  even worse with us  beating the   Colts  a couple games  ago..They  could  finish LAst in the Division that had  an " expansion'  team....what's  worse?  they made the Mistake  a drafting Mosh.. and they  are  trying...real hard... to make it look like it was a good thing.

"Everyone makes mistakes in the draft sometimes. Accept it, deal with it, and move on," Emma replied as she took another drink of her water. "Anyway, you get a trip off from being tour guide I suppose. Houston isn't your town," Emma pointed out with a smile. "Only have one job to do this week. Should be a bit easier for you."

  He smiles  slightly,Only know a bit  about  Texas.. San Antonio  we got to play  a playoff  game  their in DIII.. they were trying some kind of  'division' thing.. we  won,, and that was the end of that...too much catering to Texas.. This is going to be  a good beat down for me..

 then  he   adds,..not much time on the town  for us  there any way.... Texan fans  hate us... and  Coach had the  schedule down pretty tight..  this was  no Texan fan can say we hit their car or something....try to stop us  from playing.

"That makes sense," Emma agreed. Texas clearly didn't like the Dragons, so hey. That was that. At least it meant there was something of a rivalry going on, though she suspected it'd just be the beginning of it this week. Hopefully with a Dragons win.

"What would you like to drink?" Ben asked Lu-Ti when they'd done Stomping.

  Lu-Ti Nodds  with a Smile   as she leaves the  Floor  with Ben to get a drink at the bar.

  Coach Sims and His  wife   arrive, with Players Hooting and Hollering  as he  Just waves  with an embarrassed smile.

  Cindy   approached them and  asked how he thought  Sunday was going to go...Well, Cindy?  I'm goign to put it this way... People have seen the teams we beat, and how  we beat them.... and People have seen how the Texans have been beat..and the Teams  that ebat them?.... So, as a Professional, I would be very...deeply ..surprised and disappointed  if  we didn't close the  game out  by halftime...They are goign to need  alot of help, and alot of things  go right, to stay with us that long.

  She   smiled  a bit  and asked,... you are not  worried about Mosh and  his ..um..elusive  style at QB?

 Sims  smiled,..that was a very Nice  way to say they have an  extra  running back, and  no QB...The Dragons' Defense is used to  stopping running backs.

 One Last Question, Coach Sims? With   the  Ruling on Steele waiting  until sunday Morning... will you  stay with   Duke the Whole game?

 ..we've been Keeping  Duke fresh all season, he still leads the league in many of the passing n stats?  so I'd  say its  working. We  won't  sign   'just anyone"..never  will, so  if  Duke has  to come off,  we'll use  Bronk...Maybe Mosh  can pick up some pointers if  we do... if he's  still in the game by then.

........

  Bronk's Cell phone beeped , and It was   Mosh....WTF?... How did he get My Number?

 ..hey?  Midget..still dancing?

 ..yeah, practicing  for  Sunday..i figure  we'll be dancing alot...Don't call me again....

 ..hey?...  NFL has    player's  Cells?.. but I can't  find the Dragon  chick's Number... can you help a brother out?

 ..I got alot of Brothers out here.. yuou ain't one of them... but Here....is here  Number... and don't tell anyone  i gave it to you!

  Miles Looked  at  Bronk as he stood  there reaching for his soda...you jerk!.. You  gave him Emma's Number?

  taking a sip of  his soad , he shook his head,..Rape Hotline..should be interesting

"You gave who the what?" Emma asked Adam as she looked over at him, taking a drink of her water.

   Bronk  smiled a bit,..Mosh Got  my Cell from the NFL   data base, he  asked  for your number, your  Cell must not be in there?.... So i gave  him the RApe Hotline...  he shrugged.

 should make for  good  healines, depending on who he's taking to!

"Guy is persistent. But I've got this weird rule about not dating guys who don't even use my name when talking to or about me," Emma said with a shake of her head. "And we won't hear a peep about it in the media. Hotlines like that are bound by secrecy rules. Especially when they answer, state who they are, and he immediately hangs up. But it'll still piss him off, so I'm all for it."

Another shake of her head. "I'd rather give some of the crazier fans who write me a shot over Mosh anyway. Guy has already proven to be an ass. Don't need a date to figure that out."

Ben bought Lu-Ti whatever she wanted and got a cranberry-soda for himself. He listened to the conversation, chipping in "Next time send him to Homeland Security."

He grinned and sipped his drink.

 Cindy  frowned  as she came over  and  got a soda  for her and her Camera  Man...well Bronk?..I'm Screwed for the rest of the  Night

     He watched the   people dancing and  the Vids  on the  wall....ok?.. You get Mosh  back on that tablet, like I don't  know it... You can feed him and the  Damn network....a real pep rally

  MACKINS ....WORTH!... Need your  Help.. Miles?.. Just like training Camp... 'for the Glory!"


   Moving  through the crowd  . Mackins  and worth head to the  stage as well.

 Cindy Looked  at Bing, Emma , Ben  and Lu-Ti.. Bing  just grinned,..training Camp  Hazing?.. Sims  didn't let alot of stuff happen..but he did let us   make the rookies  sing... this should be good...

 Lu-Ti shook her  head,..not  real good...  Adam  is not the  singer...

.........................
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt1AR_i5dX4

  as the Music  started,  the Vids on the walls   were of  the   Stadiums they have  played in, mostly  The Dragons' LAir..

    as   the  three  dragons  stepped forward with the  Mics.. the  Dragonettes  began to clap along  with the music.

   Cindy ran forward  with the Tablet, holding   up when she   told Most to 'watch"

  Adam was  Grinning , each Player  had a drink in thier Hand as Adam  started out.....BETTER BACK DOWN..YOU'ER IN MY DOMAIN..GOT THE WOLE  CROWD  SCREAMING OUT OUR NAME...ITS A BLOWOUT ITS A HURRIACANE..ITS OVER...  and the Dragonettes  and    Adam's  'backup singers '   added " Before you know it..."

 Oddly enough,  Adam  seemed to get better  as    he sang.. he seemed  passoniate.. and it was catching......WHY YOU SHAKIN' WE'RE A DYNASTY, IN THE MAKIN'..WE'RE THE ROYALITY..NOW  WE'RE BREAKIN' DOWN THE ENEMY..MOVE OVER, FOR THE SOLDIERS...

looking right  down at the Tablet that a  gushing Cindy held up, he continues as he points to his chin...TAKE A SWING, I CAN TAKE A HIT...IF WE DIE ITS  FINE  WE LIVE FOR THIS......iTS ALL FOR THIS.....   arms    wave to the crowd  who   holler and scream...

  The  all three  sing, joined  in by the players who remembered the song,WE'RE GONNA TO STAND  ON TOP WITH  OUR HANDS IN THE SKY..GONNA RAISE  OUR  CUPS TO THE STADIUM LIGHTS.....and they and the   Crowd  raised thier  drink glasses......FOR THE GLORY....FOR THE GLORY..  with the crowd  repeating the   verse..

  All three held out thier  arms  was  they sang,..WE CELEBRATE WITH THE CITY TONIGHT...HEAR THE HOME TOWN  CHEER IS THE ULIMMATE HIGH..FOR THE GLORY...WE DO IT FOR  THE GLORY  ..... everyone who was around the stage   were showing out the song along with them...

  Adam steps up again , trying 'badly' to  look  like  an entertainer, but no one seemed to care,WE  WAITED  FOR OUR  TIME TO COME...CALCULATED..EVERY THING WE'VE DONE...WE'VE  UPGRADED..NOW YOU CAN'T OUTRUN A CHAMPION.....Worth  and Mackins    step up   and all three look at the Tablet, and sing   ...NOW YOU'ER FACING ONE....


  Adam's arm swung to  encompass the room and it went nuts,CAN YOU HEAR THEM,, YEAH ITS  ALL FOR US...YOU BELIEVE THEM...YEAH ITS  SERIOUS....HEAR THE SIREN...WERE VICTOUROUS  IM TELLING YA...... and Mackins    calls  out ..CAN I GET A HELL YEAH!

 Crowd   respounds....

  Bronk leans   way over   so Mosh can see they  dark eagerness in his face,...TAKE A SWING , I CAN TAKE  AT HIT...  the rest of the song was  all but  drowned out as the   players,  a few fans  and  players  wives  Joined In... Sims  was  even standing Raising his Glass  in the air...

 Worth and  Mackins  stepped up and the rap  part of the Song.. when they started  with the   regular   vereses... they  had   their   arms  around Bronk as they  lifted their  Glasses  high...  when  the Song was over.. all three dropped thier  Mics....

 The  Crowd  went  nuts...... and Mosh signed off...

   As they came  down the    Dragonettes  were jumping  up and down,   Cindy    gave Bronk   a monster   hug and  a savage  Kiss  as her and her cameraman ran out of the Building


  Worth Fist Bumped  Bronk and Mackins... and they went back to thier    tables...

 Bing looked  at  Adam as he came  back to get a fresh Soda.....what?.. I had    1 course in drama?... i needed an elective..and they had some good  looking ladies there...

  He sipped his  Soda   as Bing  just looked at him.....comon..it wasn't that bad... it made  Mosh sign off!

Emma laughed at Adam's antics. No, the guy wasn't a singer, but she suspected that was part of the whole thing. "Don't care how bad or good it was. If it got rid of Mosh I'm all for it," Emma replied as she watched the reporter scamper off like a kid with their favorite new toy at Christmas.

 Lu-Ti frowned at her Cell phone, her  brows   narrowed    in contempt ..The  Texan bitches  won't let the Dragonettes  cheer on the sidelines....

 her  fingers  where  flying fast and furious over her Cell  Phone....  HA!!!...But  we  will be there.... I just bought  40 seat Block on the Dragon's side.. 20 yard line  ..north  endzone.... they might not  be great Seats.... but  we will be noticed....

 she   stands On her  toes  and Pulls Ben Down and kisses his cheek,..I have to  tell the LAdies... we need to go..so much ready..... and poof?  the   Japanese  dynamo was gone.

 the Dragonette followed her like lemmings  into the  BAck of the Club...

  Bing Looked at Emma  and the others,wow?..  she....makes  quick decisions....

  Bronk  Grins  as he turns  around  and   relaxes with his back against the bar,.. i know one thing?....No one's  even goign to Notice   the Texans have cheerleaders, if i know her....

  a  Good lookign Black woman coems  over  and  grabs  Adam's  Hand  and starts  to drag him out on the floor,..wait?..what the  heck?

 ..Kane  doesn't  want to dance... so?... I'll settle   for a singer!...

   Kane  Raises his Beer to   Adam  as he laughed...

"But, wait...no, go on. See you later, darling," Ben stammered, then just grinned ruefully. She'd be back. And she had things to attend to, after all.

He looked at his team mates.

"We better make sure her girls have something to cheer about! Outrageous that some teams won't welcome their opponents' cheerleaders along with the team."

 Bing Watches   Adam trying hard  not to look too bad on the Floor with Kane's GF. he  chuckled  , then turned to  Ben,...Cheerleaders  never   travel with the team  in the NFL, unless its  to the  Superbowl...  The First Captain of the dragonettes started it...all of the teams that 'like us' allow  our  cheerleaders to go.... those that don't ...won't...or , if they do? they keep the cheerleaders  down  on the endzone  somewhere, while they have  both sidelines...Amota's  Must have deep pockets though... Two Jets to every away game, because of  the support staff and such

 ..This  is goign to be  a land mark game.... regardless of the Texan's  record....The Network is going to love us...

"Teams don't necessarily like the other team's cheerleaders playing to the crowd. They want that home field advantages and the cheerleaders are part of that. It's not completely unreasonable from a business standpoint," Emma replied as she took a drink of her water. "You can make the argument from a sportsmanship side of things that both teams should be allowed their cheerleaders though. Comes down to the home team's decisions, but they can't stop them from buying a block of tickets and being an unofficial cheer squad though."

Emma nodded to Bing. "Well, a game against a terrible team is getting significant press and build-up. The league can't be unhappy with that turn of events."

   Bronk  Came  Back  after    Kane's   GF  had her  dance   she strutted back to Kane with  a big smile on her  face.. Kane Gave  Adam a Thumbs up.

  ..man?... This  is  getting nuts.. People are  Jacked up....

 Steele  comes  over with a  Glass of soda,..My agent  says there are 8 teams  that a prtesting  any chance for me to play Sunday..every are the  emergency guy... He says   the  Commish  is afraid to set a precedent . that other  teams  can use   to let real scum back on the  field.. Like the raiders and cowboys and Bengals?

 Bronk  slammed his hand of  the bar,   but then turned  around to  Steele,..Doesn't matter..you'er  serving your  time, and  You'll be back next week... we should be  able to crush them, even if  we had Bing at QB!

  Hey!....

 ..Comon!.. I warm up with you....

 Bing shrugs,..that's  fair... I'm here to pick passes off, not throw them...

 ..well.. I'm just Glad you went to   Yuto about that whole thing.. i wasn't  at first....what ever happened to the Guys  who....

Adam put a finger to his own lips,..SHHHHHH!..Never...ever.. ask that.. never....

 Steele  looked  shocked, and  Uncomfortable..he  started to laugh, but saw Bronk's  cold stare.......yah?..You know?.. I think I'll go to the dinner..I could use  some steak right now...

 Steele  left the Club heading to the Diner  part...

Adam just shook his ehad   and asked for  some   Pizza Bites.

"Well, we just gotta deliver now. Should be an entertaining game," Emma commented to Adam. She watched the interaction, particularly with Adam's response to, presumably, having to actually pass the ball. "You want me to talk to Coach and see if he'll put me in as secondary QB instead? I'm sure I can throw the ball decently well still and could just switch jerseys for a legal number," Emma joked to Adam. She'd do it if asked, but honestly, Adam was a significantly better option.

  Adam   smiled,..You could ask him, but you know what he'll say.... besides?  By the time i go in, the  game will be over, I'll just be there  to make Mosh look even worse....

   Then he looks  and Bing and  Emma,..of  course.. if you  guys  do good enough  , he'll be watching from the sidelined  and one of the tackling  dummies will be in the game, by that time!

"Oh, I know. But I'm hoping that he stays in all game. Makes our jobs easier," Emma said. A bad scrambling quarterback was a defense's favorite type of target. Not good at running or passing, it meant they made bad decisions and the defense got to make them pay.

  Bing    Give    Emma a Nudge,..Let's go make  an appearnce on the floor? so none  say's  were  wall flowers?

 ..hey? Nothing  wrong with wall flowers!

 Bing  cuff   Bronk's  shoulder  as   he heads to the Floor,..you'er more  like a Dandy Lion!

 He  frowns  as  he sips  is soda,..hey!.. Dandy Lions are toguh.. besides  , they are weeds!

 Bing Grins......I know!

Emma offered Bing her hand. "Certainly, and while a dandelion is technically a weed, it's classified as a beneficial one. So Adam can stay," she replied with a grin. She then followed Bing out to the dance floor.
