SAN DIEGO - Edward Hoffman knew his hard work would pay off. It was only a
matter of time. It paid off this past Tuesday.
Hoffman, a 27 year old former dishwasher turned Offensive Coordinator was
the winner of a local San Diego Madden tournament this past week.
"It's a dream come true," the slightly overweight Hoffman said. "It's a
great opportunity for me. This organization is great, and there's a good
nucleus, a good group of players here. Head Coach Marty and GM A. J. Smith
are showing they are willing to do what it take to win in this day and
age."
Hoffman stunned the coach with his offensive prowess during the game as he
racked up consecutive 50+ point games, beating his opponents by an average
score of 41 points. When asked about his strategies, he described his game
plan as simple.
"The key is developing a few money plays", he described. "We also plan on
making some key substitutions throughout the game. Don't be surprised to
see Quentin Jammer lining up at QB, or Tomlinson at DE"
"We're excited about his talent and his abilities," said Chargers General
Manager A.J. Smith. "That's why we hired him when we did. We'll fit him in
with our offense and he'll get right after it. He's going to install an
exciting offense."
When asked about Hoffman's utter lack of real football experience outside
of Madden, Chargers staff brushed off comments, stating "We have no where
to go but up".
Suspiciously absent from the press conference was Head Coach Marty
Schottenheimer, who was reported to have been seen drinking heavily at a
local bar.
