League's Career Points Leader Hangs Them Up
By "Stats McNeal"

Off-Season 2133 (Miami, FL) - The day after Baltimore failed to drive within field goal range late in the 2133 Sundby Cup, kicker Dick Harrah announced his retirement. He does so as the league's all-time leading scorer with 1,601 points, passing Minnesota's Gus Schock who amassed 1,539.

'It would have been very sweet to leave the game with a Cup winning field goal...would have given me one for the thumb...but it's time to explore other areas of my life,' proclaimed the confident kicker. 'I couldn't have asked for a better organization with which to play.'

Selected with the last pick of the second round in 2118, Dick Harrah was the compensatory pick provided by the league for the infamous 'post-season replay game' between Houston and Baltimore. The Ravens proceeded to win the next two Sundby Cups.

'We knew he was a special player coming out of college, and he has payed dividends throughout his career,' said Mark Thul, Ravens owner and GM. 'We'll get another kicker, but we won't ever be able to replace him.'

Indeed, Dick Harrah stands alone on top of the all-time scoring list in league history. While the league's career records are notoriously fractured, Harrah appears to be the only player to crack 1,600 points. In fact, only three players have passed 1,500 points: Schock with 1539, Carolina's Matt Johnson with 1,507, and Baltimore/Chicago's Vincent Little with 1,503. It's likely Chicago kicker Alexander Phillips will join that group.

'It's an honor, for sure,' said Harrah. 'I grew up watching the great kickers like Matt Johnson. I never figured to be compared to him or the great Gus Schock.'

Well, start figuring!
