(Washington DC—The Mall) — Amid celebrations for the World War II commemoration ceremony, puddles the size of cars in the infield and outfield, and a couple “reading poetry” underneath a blanket in 80 degree weather, the Flood rallied and ultimately fell short to the #1 ranked Vito Power, by a score of 16-13.

He said to tell everyone that "the field is on the mall, in front of the carousel." Most of you should know where that is. Bring your cleats. You might need a towel as well. Don't expect to stay too clean. Apparently, there are some mud puddles. Good luck!

To answer the obvious question, there is no such place as "Boehnerland", but rather it is merely a play on words. You see, the Team Sponsor is Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) and as a member of the Trilateralist Commission, he is trying to take over the world, thus "Boehner-Land".
