Commas Complete First Winning Season

Before heading to the playoffs, Oxford had to exorcise the demons from last year's horrific loss to Jerkstore. Some of the Commas--I won't name names--are still in therapy following the 48-0 drubbing in 2010.

This time around, Oxford got off to a slow start thanks to some unfortunate turnovers, which, by the way, are never, ever, the quarterback's fault. But, at the end of the half, Oxford got on the board with a deep throw to Taylor, making the score 25-6. In the second half, Oxford continued to chip away at the lead, thanks to another touchdown for Taylor, followed by a circus-catch score for Elyse. The defense tried to hold on, but Jerkstore managed to get into the end zone again. A late touchdown by Brian was not enough, and Jerkstore was able to get the ball back and wind down the clock. Final score: Jerkstore 38, Oxford 24. But it's worth noting that Oxford outscored Jerkstore in the half, which kind of reminds me of this. ("You cut him! You hurt him! He's not a machine! He's a man!")

And if that doesn't get your blood boiling for the playoffs, here is your Inspirational Football Clip of the Week, one of the greatest plays of all time.


No highlights this week, but our intrepid fans Jessie and Rosie brought along Oxford Commas pennants. They'll soon be hearing from our lawyers regarding copyright infringement; we're just like the NFL that way.
