AMBRIDGE, PA — With 10 days left before the completion of the Red Zone Alert, there has been no reports of "bad" or "unprotected" sex in the field of players.

"I have heard nothing in regards to pregnancies this season," says former violator Rob Fustich while catching breakfast at a local coffee shop just northwest of Pittsburgh. "We are clean as a whistle. I really have a good feeling about this year."

Last year, the group was clean, while the group gave praise to fellow member Rick Dosky for his commitment to the tournament. Brian Zeybel is expected to also escape the Red Zone Alert and reportedly tatooed his anniversary on his inside left ankle.

"These two months are very difficult to many players," says Fustish. "I should know. I know many wives associated with the event are about to see things go back to normal as we exit this critical time period."

Fustich has been designated as the poster child for the Red Zone Alert as the only player in Spackler history to violate twice.

Glenn Hoffert, Greg Long, Scott Mealey, Chris Lashley and Bill Bateson are just some reported pregnancies well outside the Red Zone Alert. Slick's third kid is due in a few weeks.

The Red Zone Alert started on August 4 and runs through October 19, 2006. Players are asked to obstain from possible pregnancy until Zone Clearance has been given.
