Somewhere in Dublin, near a plot where the construction had been goin' up to 90 and left some locals in bits, we saw a man in a black fedora and a green sweater vest approach the podium. The locals were acting the maggot even more at the mystery man (while anyone watching from Miami, Montreal or St. Paul would simply groan as they recognized the fella), all the way until he introduced himself.
"How's she cuttin', fellas? It's fierce stormy out there, innit? Now c'mere to me..."
Realizing he's starting to run out of phrases in his Irish idioms book, the man continued
"My name's Michael 'Burmy' Burmeister. I had a reputation as the OIFL's worst owner, one which I gotta say was well-deserved given how my stints went. After ten years out of it, I've been around the world and learned a couple things...so I figured it was time to come back to an ancestral homeland of my family's. Together, we are collaborating to bring OIFL Football right here to Ireland this year...ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the DUBLIN CELTIC TIGERS!"
"The name was chosen because it invokes strength and courage, and as you all know, was the nickname for Ireland's booming economy of the '90s and 2000s. In addition, the tiger is my younger brother's favorite animal, so I wanted to honor his favorite animal while choosing my favorite colors as the scheme, to signify exactly how far the ol' Mahaffey & McCabe bloodlines have come."
"As far as an arena goes...we are actually working on transporting the Vermont Storm's old Granite City areena over to Dublin, piece by piece, where we're gonna start suckin' diesel to spruce up the place for this season and more and more in the seasons beyond, renaming it the Aer Lingus Arena after our deal with Ireland's national airline which will fly us to North America and our opponents to Dublin."
"So finally, let's get the ol' schedule out so you can count the days."
