Counselor Seeks Counseling After Week 2 Emotional Beatdown From Felons

Rainier Valley, WA- Never. That is how many times the Counselor has defeated his out of conference rival the Rainier Valley Felons. Coach Jason Harber of the Felons had beat the Counselor in the previous two meetings, and shellacked them once again in Week 2. The Felons ran up the score in this one, not content with the 35 point win last season. The final score was 140.5 to 71...a 69.5 point victory for the defending champs.

Council couldn't get the offense rolling in the heat at The State Pen. The offense put up only 39 points with Hines Ward (0 points) and Brett Farve (1 point) struggling to connect. The Felons put up a balanced attack with 77 points on offense, and 63.5 on defense and special teams.  The Felons were very lead by their veterans, with Anotnio Gates scoring 17 on offense and both linebackers (Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher) kicking in 13 points apiece on defense.

Coach Richard Council tried to gain any advantage he could. He left Counselor season ticket holders a voice mail pleading with them to travel to The State Penitentiary to get rowdy with the team on the road. Council's passion for beating the Felons had been made evident before the season, when the coach let Rainier Valley know he wasn't about to hand over the Fun Bowl or a second Championship to the Felons.

"I never came here to kiss Jason Harber's ring. I came here to win, let's put it that way. ... I'm certainly not intimidated by Rainier Valley, or anybody else," Council said after the game, "I'm the biggest trash talker there is. I don't disrespect anybody else. I just have confidence in our football team."

“Arrogance diminishes wisdom," Harber responded via his radio show, "It is an old Arabian proverb that I take to heart each day.  Hopefully, Richard can take it to heart to.  Does anyone care if a cocky coach dies in the forest with no wins?"

The Counselor (0-2) head to play the Ballard Kittens (0-2) for a showdown of winless teams.  The game is already blacked out, as only 7 tickets have been sold.  Meanwhile, The Felons (2-0) have a huge road game against the Royale w/Cheese (1-1), in a Queen Anne Division battle.
