Wookiees!

The U.R.B.A.N. Commandos
The organization that eventually became the U.R.B.A.N. Commandos was founded in 1953 as an enforcement arm of the Internal revenue Service, the Universal Revenue, Bankruptcy, and Asset Negotiation Command. The Command's agents were first called "commandos" as a joke. As ar arm of the I.R.S., the modern Commandos have a broad mandate to investigate pretty much anyone or anything that pays taxes, meaning they have nigh-universal jurisdiction. Cross them and you'll be audited until you beg for the sweet release of death.

The continental United States is divided into six regional commands: New England, Great Lakes, Dixie, Prairie, Southwest, and Left Coast. Each regional commander is a major, with three captains under him. Each captain in turn leads three two-man teams of Commandos. The Great Lakes Regional Commander is Major Frank Dick, Captain Dick's younger brother. Captain Dick's three pairs of agents are Smith and Winkler, Swift and Hoefstra, and Chang and Dorfman. (Smith and Winkler are not only Captain Dick's best men, but the best U.R.B.A.N. Commandos or all time.) The national commander is a shadowy figure known only as "the Colonel." In reality, unbeknownst even to the Commandos themselves, the Colonel is a mid-level bureaucrat at the I.R.S.

Go Honolulu Blue!
Any given team can beat any other team on any given day. That's why they play the games. Sure, the Minnesota Vikings are a formidable team (though not as formidable since they have dropped to 5-4), but what better way for the Lions to reverse the current three-game skid then by besting Daunte Culpepper? Not that he talks much trash, but it's time for Joey Heisman to put up or shut up. More importantly, after Sunday's horrific drop, why is tight end Stephen Alexander still drawing a paycheck? I want that hack cut! There's plenty of blame to spread around the Lions lockerroom, but bygones will be bygones if they can still finish 8-8.
