Touchdown in Space

My name is Gus Ferguson, and I play in the NFLIS which stands for National Football League In Space, and the position I play is Running Back on the Comets. I am going to tell you my life story in the NFLIS, and what happened to me in the Super Space Ball.

How my story started is I went to the draft hoping to get a first round pick by the Rockets. I was waiting and hoping to get picked by the Rockets, but by the time it was the last two picks, it came down to me and Jamal Diggums. First it was the Comets pick which is the worst team in the league. Sadly they picked me, and the Rockets picked Jamal Diggums. When he came out he was dressed up as the Rockets mascot. The next day when I went to my new locker, it smelled like rotten cheese and sweaty helmets. Our first game was against the Blunder Berg Aliens. At the start of the game our quarterback got thrown at the ceiling, and he broke his arm. Then I had to play quarterback. When I was quarterback, it did not go well, so we lost. The next eight games went the same way. We lost all of them. At the next game, our quarterback was back. In the fourth quarter, he threw an all field pass to the wide receiver when we were down 17 to 14. It was a touchdown, so we won the game! After the game, we celebrated our win at the bar.

Our next game was against the Rockets, and they are the best team in the league. That’s the team that I wanted to be drafted by, but got drafted by the Comets. We got destroyed by the Rockets, and now we have to win all our games if we want to get to the playoffs. Our next game was against the Astronauts. The Astronauts game wasn’t very close, but we won, and we won the next few games. Now we have one more game to win to get into the playoffs. We gladly won and were super excited to play in the playoffs, but we weren’t done. We went on to win both our playoffs games, and now we are in the playoffs. In the first half we got stomped on. In the second half, we came back and were down by 6. Then, with one minute left, we kicked an onside kick, and we got the ball back. We got down to the 10 yard line, and there were 12 seconds left. It was a hand off to me, and I got 5 yards. The time was ticking down, and we got one more play off. The quarterback said “hut!” and handed it off to me. I got a touchdown! But we still had to kick a field goal in order to win the game. Our kicker got ready! The kick was good! The crowd went wild with excitement!

My name is Gus Ferguson and that’s the story of how I won a Super Bowl in Space!
