Skull Imploders 2 - 1 Soft Green Felt

Soft Green Felt (coached by dwarfrunner) were looking to deal out a good trashing against the little Goblins of Skull Imploders (coached by Cramy). The weather was nice, and the Elves were feeling confident, we shall see if they have the power to back it up.
SGF wins the coin toss and opts to receive, and the game is underway. SGF makes a couple of blocks at the line of scrimmage, a blitz in the wide zone and follow up with the rest of the team flooding the backfield. One of the linelves in the backfield picks up the ball and moves up the field, but still staying far enough away to not get blitzed. The elves take their time, dancing around while the goblins try to slow them down, hurt them, or do something. Finally, Rintu dodges from some elves to try and get to the ball carrier and falls over and dies. The rest of the team barely notices, and the elves laugh at the patheticness of goblins as they dance into the endzone. The goblins catch the kick-off and run towards the nearest troll, hoping to get thrown somewhere safe or in the endzone. Toad picks up Annil and hucks him towards the endzone, but the goblin crashes on the landing dropping the ball. The elves laugh again at the ineptness of the goblins and prepare to go back to pick up the ball for another long pass and a touchdown. Except one of the linelves trips doing a simple dodge, ending their turn, that's not like them. Annil gets back up and picks up the ball and scores. The goblins tie the score 1-1 late in the first half. The elves laugh off the touchdown, thinking they will get a quick touchdown to get the back in the lead. The elves do the same thing as their first drive, positioning themselves so a player is protected by the rest of the team, ready to receive the long pass and score another touchdown. Except that the linelf that has the ball, muffs the pass and the ball bounces harmlessly to the ground, that's not good. The goblins pick up the ball, but the elves manage to stop them from trying to throw another goblin for a touchdown.
The goblins receive in the second half, and the elves are now showing signs of concern, things are not going well. To make things worse, Dizzy the Fanatic has the best game in the history of goblin fanatics. He manages to block someone almost every turn of the second half. The sight of elves flying everywhere was horrifying, eventually hurting one elf and forcing him to miss the next game. Things could have been much worse, but we spoke to soon. The remainder of the game is the goblins walking down the field unhindered and the elves helplessly trying to stop them, unsuccessfully. To try and describe what happened to SGF is impossible, words can not describe it. Things went from bad to worse for SGF. First a failed dodge, then a failed block, then another failed dodge, and another, then a failed leap, then another failed dodge. All the while the Goblins are laughing hysterically at the elves, watching the elves helplessly try to do something, anything. In the end, the elves could do nothing, the gods decided to teach them some humility as the goblins walked into the endzone on turn 16 to win the game 2-1. And with that, the elves are left to wonder what the F%^&ING HELL HAPPENED!?!?!?!
To make things worse, the Skull Imploders won 80,000gp while Soft Green Felt only won 10,000gp. Rest assured something smells fishy, and SGF will get to the bottom of it.
