The ghosts are somehow playing with the disclaimer telling you that I don't own any Ghosts characters. Just some more madness from my tiny brain.

Ghosts Verses Football

"Samantha," Hetty walked up with Alberta to Sam. "Where are you off to?"

"I'm off to run some errands. I need to get out of the house," Sam told her as she picked up her pocketbook and got her keys. "Because Jay and Mark are watching football."

"That's the sport with the helmets and the funny looking ball, right?" Hetty asked.

"Yes," Sam nodded.

"You don't like football?" Alberta asked.

"It's not the game I have a problem with," Sam sighed. "It's the commentary."

"What do you mean?" Hetty asked.

"The Minnesota Vikings are playing the New England Patriots," Sam said.

"Ohhhh…" Alberta got it.

"I take it they are different football teams and…" Hetty realized. "Okay I get it now."

"YES! YES! YES!" Thorfinn roared. "VIKINGS TAKE THE FIELD! VIKINGS DOMINATE! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRR!"

"I'm out of here!" Sam left the house as fast as she could.

"Walk in the woods?" Alberta sighed.

"VIKINGS RULE!" Thorfinn shouted. "VIKINGS ARE SUPERIOR! RARRR!"

"Please…" Hetty followed her outside.

Meanwhile in the living room, Mark and Jay were on the couch watching television. Behind him were Thorfinn, Isaac, Sasappis, Trevor, Pete and Flower watching the game as well.

"YES! YES! VIKINGS SCORE! VIKINGS SUPERIOR!" Thorfinn shouted. "BEAT PUNY PATRIOTS TO ASHES! Not literally but…"

"Yes, Thor we get it," Isaac grumbled.

"Thor likes this game!" Thorfinn grinned. "It would be better if Vikings actually had swords to kill other team. But Thor takes what he can get."

"So, I'm guessing this is how different cities settle rivalries?" Sasappis asked.

"Sort of," Pete told him. "It's all in good fun!"

"It's better than people actually fighting each other," Flower admitted. "That way no one gets hurt."

"Ooh!" Jay remarked. "Did you see that tackle?"

"Oh man that's gonna hurt in the morning!" Mark winced.

"YES! ALL RIGHT!" Flower called out. "BRING THE PAIN!"

"You know for a hippie who loves peace and all," Trevor realized. "Flower's got a real dark side."

"I thought you hated other sports besides Basketball?" Pete asked.

"I do," Flower admitted. "But I do need a healthy outlet for my aggression. And I'm trying to open myself up to other things."

"That's nice," Isaac sighed.

"Besides I promised the pixies that I'd let them know how the game went," Flower remarked. "Apparently they have a bet with the gnomes in the wall. They're hoping the Vikings can beat the spread."

"Okay then..." Pete blinked.

"Oh man the Vikings are up by six," Jay grinned as he drank a beer. "No way the Pats are gonna win this one."

"Patriots suck," Mark snickered.

"SHUT UP!" Isaac shouted at the two livings.

"And now we go to commercial break," The announcer on TV said. "While they take McNair McJohnson off the field. Hopefully that broken leg will heal right up."

"I tell you it's great to watch football again," Pete grinned. "Well basically watching any game. I once went to a real football game. Me and my travel agent buddies got a sweet deal at Giant's Stadium. Right on the 50-yard line! It was amazing! I mean the team I rooted for lost but still amazing!"

"I went to a Super Bowl game once," Trevor grinned. "My Lehman Brothers boys and I rented a skybox! Awesome view!"

"Cool," Pete said. "Who was playing?"

Trevor thought. "I don't remember. See I was dating this really crazy chick named Valerie Marconi. And we spent a lot of time in the bathroom if you get my drift. And in a few other places. Including one of the locker rooms."

"Oh, for crying out loud…" Pete groaned.

"Then we met up with this cheerleader and Valerie wanted to experiment so…" Trevor grinned.

"Sounds like you scored more than the football teams," Flower snickered.

"I did," Trevor grinned. "I think there was blue in the cheerleader's uniform. Or was it green? What? It was dark in that equipment room!"

"I take it you and Valarie didn't end up together?" Sasappis asked Trevor.

"Actually, she ended up running off with the cheerleader," Trevor shrugged. "I can't say I blamed her. She knew stuff."

"I'm sorry Trevor," Pete said as he patted him on the back.

"Eh, I'm happy for them," Trevor shrugged. "They used to send me Hannukah cards every year. I wonder if they went to my funeral?"

"I can imagine a lot of women went to your funeral," Sasappis quipped. "Just to make sure you were dead!"

"I made lots of women happy!" Trevor protested.

"Yes, especially when you left the room," Sasappis quipped.

"Game back on! Game back on!" Thorfinn pointed. "Vikings score another down of touch!"

"It's called a touchdown," Flower told him. "GO! DON'T BLOW THIS!"

"Big Butch McAlllister throws to Dante Highman in the pocket…" The announcer spoke. "OOOH! INTERCEPTION! Bob McKringlefinger grabs the ball in an interception!"

"NOOOO!" Mark shouted.

"Wait what?" Thorfinn blinked. "What just happened?"

"Interception! Can you believe that?" Jay gasped.

"What is interception?" Thorfinn asked.

"It's when the other team gets the ball," Pete explained.

"Wait what?" Isaac did a double take.

"That can't be legal!" Thorfinn protested.

"It is," Flower groaned. "I TOLD YOU NOT TO BLOW IT!"

"But…But ball was supposed to go to Vikings!" Thorfinn protested. "Patriots can't just steal ball!"

"And yet we did," Isaac grinned. "Okay! This is getting interesting!"

"Patriots call a time out!" The announcer said. "No wait they're not they're going for it. My bad. That's rare. Usually, they just draw these things out…The ball is in play…"

"What's going on?" Thorfinn asked. "What's going on?"

"The ball has been passed to McGingleberry," The announcer said. "McGingleberry is at the forty…The thirty…"

"STOP HIM! STOP HIM!" Thorfinn shouted. "VIKINGS STOP HIM!"

"Run! Run! Run!" Isaac cheered. "GO! GO! GO!"

"No, no, no…" Jay groaned.

"TOUCHDOWN PATRIOTS!"

"HUZZAH!" Isaac cheered.

"NO WAY!" Jay groaned.

"AAAAHHH!" Mark groaned. "So much for me beating the spread!"

"It's tied," Pete said. "With only a few seconds to go."

"Unless the Patriots get the extra point," Flower groaned.

"The what now?" Thorfinn asked.

"For crying out loud Thor we've been over this!" Flower snapped.

"The field goal is good!" The announcer announced. "And the Patriots pull victory from the jaws of defeat once again!"

"Aw man!" Jay groaned.

"Wait, what?" Thorfinn was confused. "What happened? What does that mean?"

"It means the Vikings looooosee!" Isaac mocked. "YES! THE PATRIOTS ARE VICTORIOUS! HUZZAH!"

"NO!" Thorfinn shouted.

"YES!" Isaac did a happy dance. "Patriots win! Patriots win! Vikings lose! Patriots win! Vikings lose! Patriots are superior! Vikings…"

To this Thorfinn responded by tackling Isaac. "RAARRR!"

"AAAAHHH!" Isaac screamed as he fell to the floor.

"I love football," Trevor laughed.

"Next up," The announcer said. "The New York Jets verses the Kansas City Chiefs!"

"That what now?" Sasappis did a double take. "EXCUSE ME?"

"For God's sake nobody say anything about Washington," Pete winced.

"Did he own a football team too?" Isaac moaned from the floor.
