The Gathering

The few surviving Immortals are being drawn for "The Gathering," a final series of confrontations to determine the victor of "The Prize". There can be only one. Don't lose your head.

Goose The Kurgan
He struggles to maintain his chance at the Quickening, even after Larry Johnson's runs were slashed down by a San Diego defense. As the last strengths of The Kurgan remain he switches up and moves onto the SD QB and Defense, against an unlikely but tenacious opponent. Will we he win 3rd? Only the singing of steel will tell...

2.0 Dutch Boy

From the dikes and windmills of his land a fierce finger comes to protect the clogs, tulips, and oil paintings. What kind of sling and rock does this David have for the Goliath? A weakened Green Bay offense has already made its attempt, all hope rests in a tremendous effort by Frank Gore, and shutdown with Chicago D against Detroit.



Duke Mac Leod


Is he the "one". The Kurgans predictions of olden days proved false against this great warrior. From the lowly highlands of West Seattle, through storm and rain, he came forth as an underdog. Ladainian Tomlinson proved a strong sword, along with the multiplicity of three leading QB's Brady, Grossman, and Bulger. The point margin still remains narrow between he and his rival. All hope rests in a gamble on Deion Branch.


Train Mac Leod

Rarely in the history have the Watchers seen two warriors from the same ken of West Seattle battle together as Immortals. Yet in the twilight it is these surprising two who remain. Reggie Brown and New Orleans have proved strong tools for this Highlander, will they continue and persevere til the end for him? Even now the projections are slim and margins for error cannot be made. Will Garrard come back for him and help Train claim the Prize?!

    a relevant balance between geek and "Nice!" is ever so rare, but that's why I'm here.

    MCP...I've had a cast on for the past two weeks and have given daily pics/Lodge Maintenance to 2.0...and I concur with the concensus that this was high quality, and I'm happy to get Freddie and the boys as my consolation prize...

    Hey, I'm one of the only 20+ NBA fans left so it's been getting some love this week. Com'n, you didn't laugh at Mo-Mo Williams' comment?

    Hopefully today's pic will be up to your geek standards.

    I'm planning on meeting Devin before the 12:30 show downtown. Anybody else in? I'm heading home... if I don't see you at the flick tomorrow -- have a Merry Christmas.
