Smet Torwat's Four Finishers

 We wanted to talk to Smet Torwat after the match against the Deadmonton Drillers, but he needed some time to calm down. While he is not exactly calm, he is in control enough to talk to us now.

While we are aware of your immediate reactions after you were fouled, dead, and the resuscitated from the immediate rage on the field, what are your thoughts now?

"I'm frustrated with the coach as he's been trying to take the 'high road' and play the game without any extra violence, but that's going to change whether he likes it or not. I've been talking with some of the other linemen. Some of us have come to an understanding. Jho the Scrubber, Kitro Kreshin, Yin Kumaro, and myself are now the Four Finishers. We have made some upgrades to our uniforms and should the opportunity arise, we aim to finish players on the ground. Forget the coach's desired honor."

So you have formed a small faction within your own team?

"Yes. I tried to get everyone on board, but some of them wouldn't have it. They still want to see the coach's original vision for them."

Jho the Scrubber is one of your Four Finishers? I thought you and he were not on the same page.

"I still don't think he should have been named MVP either of the times he's been given the title. The fact is that it is during his offense that he is usually moved to the sideline. He's still an idiot and a poor player, but that just means that if he is removed because an official calls him for fouling, the team doesn't lose a 'real' player. Just Jho."

What is your goal here? What are you trying to accomplish?

"I have played four games with the Flame Wings. I have been fouled three times. One resulted in an injury. One resulted in my brief death, which has earned me the nickname 'The Corpse' among my teammates. We are often out numbered in the second half and I'm sick of it. It's time to take the opponents off the field by any means. It's about safety for my teammates, even if they don't see this issue the same as I do."

How does the coach feel about these plans?

"He's not thrilled with it. He still has his ideals that he's clinging to, but he also sees that things aren't working. In preparation for the next game, he hired another linemen, Asel Niff. He saw necessary to empty the team's budget due to potential players, specifically the Four Finishers, being sidelined for fouling."

Do you think your approach will work?

"I don't know, but I'm not going to sit back and hope anymore. Look. We have heard the news that the coach may get moved to another team at the end of the season. All we can do is push for winning and maybe some fame. If we can make the Flame Wings of Caledor appeal to the investors and advertisers that have the coach and this media outlet in their pockets, maybe the team can return next season. The less positive view is that if we are going to go down, I want to take some others with me."

Flame Wings of Caledor - Bye - Week 2

Due to some sort of paperwork error, The Flame Wings of Caledor were informed that they were being given the win in this week's game without taking the field. That was the official explanation anyway. Jho the Scrubber, former locker room janitor and last week's MVP,  told the press is was because the other team had realized they were facing him and found a way out of the match.  The title of MVP has been going to his head. Feeling that he is so popular, he's begun to annoy his teammates by tripping the up as they walk by. Hopefully, he can find a way to use this new passion on the field eventually. The coach has already vowed that he will be on the center of the line of scrimmage or wherever the Troll, Ogre, or whatever big guy is in order to prove he's earned his MVP title. The two injured players, Smet Torwat and Yin Kumaro, say that the medical staff instructed them to sit out a game to recover. They have already made it clear that they are not going to play the next...

Smet 'The Corpse' Torwat released from the Flame Wings of Caledor

The Flame Wings of Caledor made an announcement late last night that Smet 'The Corpse' Torwat had been released from the team saying: Due to an off-field accident, Smet Torwat had received multiple injuries. This is due to the fact that there are only 2 games left in the season, and Torwat is not expected to recover in time for either. After some searching we tracked down the former player to find out what had happened. It appears that he suffered a broken arm and some sort of back or neck injury on top of the multiple bruises and minor lacerations. When we asked about what happened to him, we were told that he apparently fell for some con scheme of a couple of goblins and when he chased them down, he was met by a couple of Black Orcs. The group of greenskins then proceded to beat him. The medical staff said that it was odd that Smet survived alone, but that he still had all his limbs was unheard of. He's lucky that he was known in the area as a Flame Wings' player, so ...

Flame Wings of Caledor vs Blackgate Raiders - Week 8

 Leading up to this game, Smet "The Corpse" Torwat was released due to events off the field. The coach also reduced support staff by reducing cheerleaders and assistant coaches down to one of each. He said it was in preparations for this game with the goal of maintaining the advantage of the injured Rat Ogre missing this game and not allowing inducements to even the odds. He cut a little over 100k from the team value with the changes.  Before the game began the Flames Wings dipped into their gold reserve and purchased a keg of Bloodweiser expecting the Raiders to put elves on the sideline. The Flame Wings won the toss and chose to receive. Jho the Scrubber takes his place on the line of scrimmage across from an orc lineman who's between the Troll and Ogre. The kick is made and the Blackgate Raiders get a jump for it with a blitz. The take the opportunity to defend progress up the sideline, but do not stretch themselves thin by going for the ball. The Flame Wings make an o...
