GRABER THE CHICKEN continues his story of World Bowl XI in very his own words!!

Gametime!! And so my beloved Frankfurt Galaxy took the field. However it was to the sound of boo birds all around the stadium. I guess this is the Scottish fans way of saying how much they appreciate birds like me!

Kickoff time! I was clucking like crazy. I think this was the highlight of the game for the Rhein Fire. Bwaaaark bwark bwark bwark!

I knew it would be our day when our unreliable kicker Jon Hilbert hoofed a 52 yard FG on our first drive. That's 4 big purple points please! Bwaaack bwack bwack bwack!

GALAXY 4 FIRE 0

It was going to be a Chicken Run all day. Behind our great O-line all our running backs found lots of room to run. None more than Jonas Lewis who would rip off 87 yards in the 1st half alone on his way to the Most Valuable Poultry award!

And Jonas took advantage of a hole the size of a whale get into the end zone on our next drive from 1 yard out. This was too easy. Bwaaaark bwark bwark bwark!

GALAXY 11 FIRE 0

(HAMPDEN 44 FIRE 0)

In celebration our cheerleaders performed one of their new numbers. It's called the "Lie Down Dance" and in case you didn't hear we performed it really good last week in Berlin! Bwaaack bwack bwack bwack!

The Fire got a 39 yard FG from Todd France on their next drive but who cares about that? Much better was when the Fire tried to punt and ball sailed over the punter's head. He ran around like a headless chicken trying to find the ball! We got the ball at the Fire 15 and after a false start Quinn Gray hit WR Robert Baker for a 15 yard TD.

GALAXY 18 FIRE 3

Speaking of headless chickens, our D was making the Fire QB's look like them. Chris Greisen got them into the red zone again, but on 3rd and goal scrambled around looking for somewhere to chuck his egg, before he got laid to the turf by DE Joey Evans! This time Ingo Anderbrugge kicked a FG from 31 yards.

GALAXY 18 FIRE 6

Just before halftime there was more Galaxy TD dancing. After Lewis ripped off a 42 yard run, Robert Gillespie dashed 29 yards for a score 2 plays later.

Fire drove into the red zone again but could only manage an Anderbrugge 27 yard FG as the 1st half expired.

GALAXY 25-9 (HT)

Hey Stats Boys - do some work and stop dancing!

Halftime stats actually had Fire ahead on total yards 203 to 194. And yet despite no fumbles or interceptions, they still trailed by 19! Bwaaack bwack bwack bwack!

I don't find this funny. Somebody had entered the Gold Lounge at halftime and drawn a very unflattering picture of me on the Coaches Chalkboard, with a nasty joke next to it.

I'm told if you go to Claymores FTP you can find out who the culprit was …

Here's a Graber tip for the Fire offense. When running a 4th down handoff remember to put the ball in the running backs hands and not under the lineman's legs! Another clucking rubbish red zone performance for the Fire and it was almost time for me to light my Cuban!

The 2nd half was basically one long party for us purple wearers.

We scored another TD from Adam Tate (1 yard), in the 3rd Q, before big Ralfy Kleinmann hit a 34 yard FG in the 4th quarter to extend the whipping.

GALAXY 35-9

The fans started heading for the exits in the 4th quarter ...

Ease up on this dude. He has a lot of pigskins to sign for the upcoming NFL season. Bwaaack bwack bwack bwack!

At this stage I think our boys we're feeling a little sorry for the Fire, so we called our "Prevent Scotland" defense and gave those Burgundy boys a chance. Eventually Greisen hit his TE Dwanye Blakley from 4 yards for a consolation score.

So that was how the World Bowl turned out for Graber.
