Beaird was the Gold Division MVP

you wonder, could they have won the
Platinum Division Championship last
season? No one the answer and so the ?roblem

risking a perfect season against the
Champs. A team rep was interviewed

the Champs and they played their heart

they're not ready to give up their

Dear #1
Stunners,
I'm playing with my high school buddies
again. Thanks for the pink/black jerseys
you let me borrow but the chance to don
Rowland jerseys again brings out the
vintage player out of me.
Love,

Speaking of last season, they play

Team-Play

would be discouraged with a 0-2 start
but "Big O" Orlando Williams is a
class act. "This is growing pains for us
and we're learning from it." Team-play?
Bill Cosby-like attitude? Magic Johnson
like smile despite a huge loss? As much
as they miss the 80's, we're wondering
how much O misses his old team.

Harry Yoo and his retirement tour

| The GM,
Ken Ngarayawongse supposedly
challenged Relics GM to a gladiator
match on Week 3. We're sure the rookie
GM didn't challenge the #1 teams but
Ernest is relishing his role as the
Platinum Division bully. "UC Riverside
sucks." He didn't say that but we (the
staff writers) figured we might as well
add fuel to the fire. |

Tommy Avalos is 3-0 against the
Commish and the team is 9-1 since Tommy
took over early last season. They take
on Franchise, a team that had high
