T3 P17) Big News for the Dallas Bird Dogs! After launching a comeback victory in the championship, the team had partied hard. A little too hard maybe, but it was well justified. The team now sat in the locker room a week later, waiting on coach Rev to announce the big news. “We’re getting a new stadium fellas, I want everyone to have a say in what goes into this place”. The players all got excited at once, first a win- and now our own stadium? Ideas began to spill out. An indoor dining facility suggested one of the O-Linemen. Maybe a ballet studio shouted out a wide receiver. John Riggins suggested an indoor track, which prompted many of the players to try and get him to “think outside the box”. John Riggins sat and thought for a while- and then a while longer. “Maybe an outdoor track?’ The team let out a collective sigh, and all judged him, even thought T’Chala seemed to like the idea. John Riggins likes to run. Rev wrote down all suggestions, throwing his own in secretly. The world may never know what he wrote down- until the new stadium is built of course. The team lumbered out of the old stadium, looking at her one last time. They had some good memories in that building.

T3 P19) John Riggins stepped into the set of the movie, and admired the lights of the expensive set. He was by no means an actor, but he needed to expand his influence in the ISFL- especially since the draft was coming up. In the league he was by no means the best running back, some of those guys had years of experience, and were bigger, faster and somehow stronger than him. But he knew he would get there, just needed a bit more time. He looked down at the ridiculous outfit the wardrobe specialist and let out a little chuckle- there was no way he thought he would be in this position coming out of college. The movie he was going to be apart of was a weird forest gump spin off, and Riggins was excited to be cast for a roll- he had some lucky connections out of the University of New Hampshire. His lines were in no way complex, but he had one talent that the production staff was thrilled with. He could run, and boy he could run well. He was jolted back to reality when he heard the words “Lights, Camera… Action!”. He tightened his shoe laces, it was show time.

T3 P25) John Riggins sat on the crowded train lost in thought. It had been a hard practice, coach had spared no punches. Not even after winning the championship game, and having the best performance of his career, with over 100 yards and 2 touchdowns. Riggins thought about the college days, where he would put on a clinic against kids who dreamed they would be in the position he was in, and wondered what would have happened if he chose another position on the field. A little known fact about Riggins was that he played middle line backer in little league, and was absolutely explosive on the field. So explosive and quick that coach decided to try him in the running back position. The rest is history. Sometimes Riggins missed covering WR’s and blitzing the quarterback. Trying to squeeze between the gaps of the Oline and seeing the look on the opposing QB’s face as he drilled him into the ground. But all the schemes and zones and techniques were too much. Riggins was glad he switched to running back, it was alot more simple. He liked to run the ball, and not worry about which WR was going to test his gangster. Life had turned out well.

T3 P28) John Riggins played with some amazing talent this year with the Bird Dogs. A QB who could sling the ball, making crazy throws. Wide Receivers Toast and Sama, who were arguably the best Duo in the DSFL all season. He played behind a talented O-line that held their own against an angry horde of D-men. He also played behind a DSFL veteran who taught him everything he knew about playing in the league, who had explosive speed and hands that would make a corner back tremble. In his mind all these players on his team deserved awards and recognition for talent they showcased at such a high level. Riggins particularly hoped that Sama would win rookie of the year, he was very very impressed by the amount of work Sama put on the field every single play and the amount of yards he was able to rack up. Plus he knew Sama was a great teammate in the locker room, picking the spirits of the team up during fluke losses and cheering the defence on during huge stops Sama and Riggins played together in the prospect bowl as well, and managed to bring back the championship trophy.. But he loved them all!
