2017 Champions Crowned!

  • After a short and arduous season, Average Joes captured the 2017 Wigan Bowl crown in the absence of anyone else actually bothering to pull their fingers out to try and win.


    Yes, Darren’s human all-lineman/8 re-roll abomination went unbeaten, much to the chagrin of, well, just me actually (probably because Darren did a Darren and thought of a way to annoy me AND win at the same time).


    As the Joes celebrations went on into the night, The Accident & Emergency fans were left to rue what might have been, as they slowly roasted their head coach, Andy, over the lava pit beneath their stadium. Indeed, when his burns heal, he will be forced to wear The Brown Underpants of Shame.

    Better lives have been lived in the margins, locked in prisons, and lost on the gallows, than have ever been enshrined in palaces.

  • @ Darren: I was making a glorious trophy but Joann’s dad being unwell put the kibosh on me finishing it.


    @ Andy: Your player’s underpants are red. Your underpants are brown. Shamefully brown.
