Coach Udall motivates his football team, "Todd Freebone," the greatest hockey team in the world.
BOISE--Tired of weeks of losing, Coach Udall of the so-called "Todd Freebone" fantasy team, prepared a passionate pre-game speech for his players on Sunday.
"I thought maybe we were losing focus a little," Udall explained, "so I stayed up all Saturday night, trying to think of the right words to really remind the guys what's important."
The speech was captured on film and obtained by the Associated Press and can be seen above. In it, Udall tells his players they were "born to be hockey players." Some viewed this as a veiled insult aimed at his major disappointment: Stephen Jackson.
"To be honest," said quarterback and team captain Brett Favre, "it was a little confusing. He kept talking about hockey and the Soviet Union. It was almost like he didn't know where he was."
"Also," Favre added, "I swear I've heard what he said somewhere before."
"Nonsense," Udall answered. "Those were my own thoughts, and I resent the implication."
In any case, the effort seems to have backfired, as his team went out and posted their worst numbers of the season, falling easily to the mighty Spam Forwarders, greatest team in the history of professional sports.
