                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of DRAGONHEAD!  Once again I've been called out of 
retirement for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting.  BASH BROS B-MOVIES bit 
the big one as they could not win.  They dropped from 9th down to 22nd!  Are you guy 
giving lessons or what?  BASH BROS LIGHTS showed DRAGONHEAD what they were made of as 
they fought with a vengeance to walk off with 5-0-0.  Well, X-POSSE 3, 3-2-0 isn't a 
complete rout.  But the Duelmaster has nothing to fear from you guys!  What's with 
DIVINITY?  She actually beat DRAGONHEAD's EMBEZZLING SCRIBE, and walked away with 20 
more points from the fight.  Major screwup at BASH BROS NEWS.  NOT NEWS lost 23 
points to KUNG-FU MASTER.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe NOT NEWS will provide 
more easy wins...  I'm sure DRAGONHEAD is excited about LITHIUM, the new Duelmaster 
from DEADLY RAGE.  (remember?)  But when you've seen as many as I have...  Advice to 
fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.  DRAGONHEAD thinks DEADLY 
RAGE and their 177-144-10 is too much!  If at first you don't succeed, give up...  In 
my day, no team with a 176-144-10 would scare me off!  What's the problem, BASH BROS 
LIGHTS?   
     Warriors of DRAGONHEAD unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Is it my 
imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day?  To die so young, so 
gloriously!   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
All work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter.  Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.  
Olaffighterwork and no play.  Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.  Practice, 
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen
