Bearcats’ existence confirmed
A creature long thought to exist only in legend has stepped from the realm of myth to reality. Yesterday, marked the first confirmed sighting of a “bearcat”, occurring just east of the densely wooded area near Crowley’s Ridge.
“I ain’t never seen nothing like it,” said Virgil Timmons, local resident and raccoon farmer. “It was big as a barn door, black as a chaw of tobacco and smelled like my wife’s socks.” Timmons’ description would be followed shortly afterward by dozens of other sightings as the creatures streamed from the woods and into the neighboring town.
Presently, troops from the local National Guard unit have contained the bearcats to the high school football field in Dexter, MO. Despite the military presence, the beasts seem undeterred. Local shaman have reportedly communicated with the bearcat leader, who has insisted on a contest of strength and wit. Apparently, the bearcats like to play football, and if vanquished, have agreed to return to their woodland realm.
Authorities have invited the elite gridiron unit from nearby Sikeston to eliminate this threat. The contest will begin at 1900 hours this evening. The public is encouraged to stay indoors and stay tuned to their local news source for further developments.
*Again all in fun, but please join me in prayer today for not only my child, but all of the athletes, coaches and officials involved in sports this weekend*

Cully...your news flashes each week have been very funny! I hope you and yours are enjoying football season, and of course, I'll send up a prayer or two for everyone's safety. I hope they all have a great game.

I hope they all have a great game. Thanks, beckyminor. If we make the playoffs I may run out of ideas and be forced to simply ask for prayer. Please forgive me if eventually my imagination for speculative football stories runs a bit dry.

I'm impressed with as much as you've done! I'm sure more speculative spins will come to you.

You'd be surprised how your imagination can come through. Even so, phasers are set to "Prayer" and we are engaging with vigour

Bearcats bested - return to woodland realm
by Cully Swamp Walker
In an evening filled with wonder, myth and flying footballs, a creature of legend was bested in a battle of mettle. The bearcats, revealing themselves for the first time in human history, had threatened a violent rampage through the city. Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed and leaders of the bearcat and local human community were able to come up with a relatively peaceful solution. Football. To the victor belong the spoils.
Though fanged and armed with impressive claws, the bearcats were no match for the hale warriors from the Sikeston gridiron force.
With a final score of 50-0, the bearcats exhibited the integrity of their kind by keeping the terms of the agreement - slinking quietly into the woods along Crowley Ridge.
Local trackers and news crews have scoured the woods, trying to find the once mythical creatures' lair, but all efforts have failed.
Praise be to God - not a single casualty has been reported.
