Hosted by Jim Wiezbowski, long standing DSPN sports anchor and regular co-host Mike Spunkmeyer they discuss all the matches, news and rumours of the recent E/WSAPD action.
Joined by adventurous Sphyr roving reporter An'aka Rez'nik who sometimes gets in a little over her hammerhead and joined by weekly special guests, 'In The Zone' is the last word in the league action.

AR: “I’m here at the Von Braun Arena home of Clan Rapidclaw who have once again been defeated but for a while it looked like they might get their first victory.  The home fans have not taken kindly to the Real Tronkers thrashing them 7-0 and there is pandemonium as the Veer’Myn have set upon the Real Tronkers fans and ripping them apart.  There’s body parts flying everywhere and it’s a real mess.  Is that a leg…..don’t mind if I do…”

JW: Well Mike here we are once again with In The Zone and that was our roving reporter An’aka Rez’nik after the Real Tronkers turned over Clan Rapidclaw after being hammered for most of the game by the Veer’Myn offensive guards.  It’s been a crazy week hasn’t it?

MS: Hey Jim, it sure has.  I mean we knew Rapidclaw were at the bottom of the division but who thought they’d have come out with a new pair this week with try and bully the Tronkers.  They slapped them left and right and up and down.  It was carnage, the Tronkers had three, three players on the pitch at one point.

JW: So what was the problem in the end?

MS: Well Jim it’s simple, the Veer’myn just weren’t technical enough and they put more guards on leaving the Tronkers faster and more mobile.  It was a bold move by Rapidclaw, they needed to try something new, they did and it nearly worked.  But to get turned over 7-0 was a bit harsh, but that’s Dreadball.

JW: I hear that Mike.  We had a strange occurance this week because in the other Division the other Veer’Myn team played the other Tronkers team and it was the same score.

MS: But it was a totally different game, the Atletico Tronkers got their landslide this week ahead before the game was over, Stormfang have been really strong all season and nobody knows why but this week they came unstuck.

JW: Could this be when the wheels come off for Stormfang?

MS: I sure hope not Jim, it’s been refreshing to have a team that lacks technical skill competing and challenging.  I’d love to see them in the Dean Cain Memorial Trophy.

JW: The last game this week was the Kamino Kinietics vs the Mega City Eagles, you were really looking forward to this one.

MS: You’re right Jim, the Mega City Eagles are so drilled, so tactically aware, so organised and the Kaminos are so different from any other team given they don’t have any offensive capabilities made this mouth watering.

JW: It didn’t disappoint, it was like watching interstellar pinball.

MS: It was electric, a real clash of the titans.  The Kaminos are new to this division but they know how to play and normally their strange striker only ‘6 up front’ tactic just confuses the opposition but this time the MCEs had done their homework and were ready for them.

JW: The Kamino defeat destroys their hopes for a title finish.

MS: They’re history Jim, Real Tronkers have got to win and win big AND hope the Ragnarr Delvers do them a favour in the final games.

JW: It’s a tall order?

MS: It’s so outside it’s practically in another dimension Jim.

JW: Well we’ll be back soon with the conclusion of the Western and Eastern Divisions as we head into the last 3 matches of each division.  Thanks Mike.

MS: You’re welcome Jim.
