WE TOOK ANOTHER FUCKING DEFENSIVE END, AND A LINEBACKER WITH SHOULDER INJURIES

Here's a question: HOW did Shining Armor get injured in his own Delay of Game penalty? From PON @ CE week 10: http://imgur.com/a/9j0C2

Also, Walter wasted the Sentries' backup QB.

That's a game I'd liked to have seen.

>>30504713
I was wondering this too.

I can't believe Glitter Gleam is fucking dead.

Anything for boxing?

>>30505633
I believe someone said they were looking into writing a green about Sugarcube Robinson.

>>30504635
At least your not the Sentries right now: up shit creek with two broken paddles and one backup.

>>30505019
Think you mean Golden Glitter.
But yeah she's donezo.

>>30504713
Maybe he got hurt last play and then felt the effects that one.

Or he snapped ball late and got jammed?

I don't know, the game gives me stuff.

This week is pretty busy for me, but I'll start properly writing when I get a decent amount of First Down written.

Also, here's your players of the week!

HOORAY GOOD PLAYERS!

>>30509770
That is a pretty embarrassing loss for Cloudsdale. That is certainly not what I expected.

>>30509780
Good players are the best.

>>30510724
I agree. The Gladiators are better than that.

>>30506658
This game was pretty exciting. A kickoff return for a touchdown and a pick 6 in the opening quarter was a cool way to start off the game.

>>30504713
Twilight can't be happy that her team injured her brother.

>>30511093
I feel like he injured himself.

>>30511093
>>30511388
Upon some research of torn hamstrings, it turns out the likely cause of his injury is probably not from violent contact.

Hamstring injuries can occur through improper warm up, suddenly starting or stopping strenuous physical activity, or having weak glutes.

The first two are likely causes of Shining's injury.
So in conclusion, yeah, the clown injured himself.

>>30511494
Unlucky.

We're at the halfway point of the season now.

>>30513116
I can't believe it's been a little over ten weeks since this thread started.
And that we still have ten more weeks of hoofball drama left.

I'm hype.

>>30513605
And a lot of the teams are still somewhat in it.

>>30514413
The only teams that are really out of it are FIL, DJ, and LAP. Everyone else kinda fluxes.

And then there's Ponyville, who just keeps chugging along.

>>30515242
Well, DJ and LAP are 2 games behind in their conference from first, and 1.5 away from second playoff spot.

FILL is 2.5 games back right now.

>>30515277
Ok, so FIL's playoff chances are looking slim at best.

If DJ or LAP somehow manage to turn their record around I will be the most impressed person on the planet.

>rainbow dash
>a cheerleader
Cheerleading is the last thing dash would be doing, she's always going to be out on the field.

>>30515966
Completely agree. Her and Applejack both would rather be on the field instead of the sidelines.

In fact, they are both players in the hoofball sim. Rainbow is a wide receiver and Applejack is a runningback.

>>30516519
Oh, and can't forget Rarity too. She's a quarterback, and a damn fine one at that.

Later tonight I'll post league leaders.

>>30515966
You're right, but it's cute.

However, if someone told her she couldn't be a cheerleader, she'd probably take it as a challenge and, in turn, try to prove that she's the best cheerleader you've ever seen.

>>30517404
Oh yeah, she'd be a cheerleader if her capability was questioned and it would be the cutest thing ever.

>"Look what you did Gyn!"
>Block stops picking up your stuff and slides up beside you to inspect your bruise.
>"Yeesh. It's a real shiner too."
>"How was I supposed to know she was on the other side of the door?", responds Gyn.
>"Maybe if you didn't barrel through it in such a hurry, you wouldn't have hit her you oaf!"
>"Hey, don't call me dumb!"
>"I didn't call you dumb, I called you an oaf, dumbass."
>Gyn butts heads with his brother and your squished in between their massive chests.
>"If you don't shut your mouth, I'll give you something worse than a black eye!"
>"Oh yeah?"
>"Yeah!"
>Oh jeez, this is getting out of hoof.
>You slip out from between the brothers and try to diffuse the situation.
"Guys, guys! It's okay. Don't get in a fight over me. It isn't that big of a deal."
>"But, doesn't that hurt?", says Block.
>Well yeah, that door nailed you in face real good.
>But, they don't need to know that.
"Naaah. I've had way worse. I mean, we're hoofball players, right? We're tough and mean and hardcore and stuff. Grrrrr..."
>Chock Block doesn't seem fully convinced, but Gyn laughs at your lame growl and puts a friendly leg around your shoulders, giving you a little too forceful squeeze.
>Hahaha! See Block, she's a tough one. I think I'm going to like you, uh..."
"First Down."
>First Down! I like that name. Very... very hoofball!"
"Hehe, yep."
>Block rolls his eyes and gets back to picking up your gear.
>He says something to his brother while gathering your stuff.
>"Still, that bruise will swell without something cold on it. Go to the doctor's office and get an ice pack for First Down."
>"But, that's all the way in the medical building! Why do I have to do it?", snorts Gyn.
>"Because this is your fault in the first place."
>"What about our new shoulder pads?"
>"I'll take care of it. Now get going, practice will start soon."
>Gyn huffs out a "fine" and trudges off to the medical building.

>>30520054
>With him gone, Block keeps packing the gear into your duffel and makes small talk.
>He asks questions like if your new here, where your from, what position you'll be playing, those kinds of things.
>He's probably the first pony here, other than the coach, who's shown any interest in you, and that really lifts your spirits.
>You gleefully tell him that you are fresh from signing your contract that morning and that you'll be playing runningback on the practice squad.
>"Interesting. You been playing the game long?"
"Only since I was a filly! You could say it's a passion of mine."
>"You'll fit right in then. Everypony is passionate about what they do here, even Ms. No Nonsense, if you can believe that."
"Yep! I love the game and the team. Even if I'm only on the practice squad, it's a dream come true. Don't be surprised though if I'm on the official roster by season's start! I was the MVP at school after all."
>Your confidence amuses him.
>"Heh, I like your attitude kid, but I hope you can dodge tacklers better than you can dodge doors."
>The two of you laugh at his little burn and he presents you your duffelbag.
>Somehow, he managed to pack everything you were given into the vinyl bag, except for your shoulder pads and helmet.
"Hey! How did you get all that in there?"
>"Just got to pack carefully. It also helps to not stuff your pads in there. Saves room for the little things."
>Ah. Makes sense.
>After he gets his and his brother's new pads, you both exit the building and head to the locker room.
"We never had to handle our own equipment when I was in school. The equipment manager handled all that stuff for us. So, sorry for my ignorance on the finer points of packing.", you jokingly say.
>"Hey, no problem. Glad to teach the new kid a thing or two. Speaking of school, you never told me where your from?"

>>30520066
"Oh, I was born in Rainbow Falls, but I'm 100% Manehattan raised, baby! To be specific, I live in SoHoof with my parents and went to school across the river at Seaward Primary."
>"Seaward Primary? No kidding?"
>Block has a grin spread across his face.
"Yeah! Did you go there? I mean, I feel like I would know if you went there, but..."
>"What? Oh no. I grew up in Stalliongrad with my family. We were fisherponies by trade, but me and my brother found our calling on the hoofball field rather than the sea."
>Oh wow. You didn't know that the brothers used to be fisherponies.
>"When me and my brother moved to Manehattan and joined the Zephyrs, we used the money we made to buy a house near Seaward for our parents, grandparents, uncles, and aunts, and purchase a new boat for our father to fish on to his heart's content."
>Double wow! That's super nice of them. It's not cheap to live in or around Manehattan.
>Tackle and Block must be some really nice ponies to buy all that stuff for their family.
>You think your going to like hanging out with them.
>"But that's not why I bring up Seaward. Do you know Moonlight Charge?"
>At the utterance of her name, you could swear Blocks grin grew even wider and that there was a twinkle in his eye.
>Uhhh... you can't say you know who that pony is.
"I'm sorry, I don't think I know who your talking about."
>"She's new to the team, like you, but she's played on the west coast of Equestria before coming back here."
"Oh yeah?"
>"Yeah! She said she played in a collegiate league or something for a few years. I met her on a trot through the park one fine morning in March. She's wicked smart!"
>Block is practically leaping up and down telling you about this pony.
>Your not sure what's gotten into him.

>>30520089
I do love your story by the way, it's pretty amazing, haha.

>>30520089
Well now you've gotten me all interested in Moonlight Charge. Moar! i-if that's ok with you...

If you honestly think Rarity would have anything to do with football, you're retarded.

Rarity: "I was expecting an audience with the Princess, not outdoor sports."

>>30534533
Eh, you're forgetting her father.

Though granted, I wouldn't say she'd play, and it could be like a guilty pleasure.

>>30534394
Man, talk about getting fucking wrecked.
Rancher's defense was shutting Ponyville down; and Braeburn and his receivers were at the top of their game.
I also think this is the first time Rarity's rating has dropped below 85%.

Ranchers are the fucking top dogs now.

This is how I see it: >>30534574 It'd be a way to bond with her dad, but she'd never EVER admit to liking it. She is very precise and can be fierce when she needs to be, so it's a ton of fun imagining her playing hoofball.
