SCOREBOARD

   TWO FORFEITS... but TWO ALTERCATIONS AT THE SAME TIME??
   Okay I try to be professional but c'mon kiddos. (trying hard not to use profanity)

   1. We have a staff writer that likes to kick back by writing for Superstar and
   working the stats table in his spare time. I know he likes Iverson but apparently
   a little too much.

   ROCKY ANCIANO is the first staff member to be suspended after kicking a guy
   as he stepped over him. Videotape was reviewed and he did kick the player.
   Was it a hard kick? NOT REALLY. Was it a love tap from his heel to the other
   player's head. NOT REALLY, there was an obvious kick, not a hard one.

   This is different from when a player gets thrown out by referees. According to
   the rules, a players is suspended for a game after he received a double tech.
   The player is suspended for the following game for THAT TEAM ONLY.

   For example, when PJ Lee got thrown out against That Same Team
   (Platinum Division), he was still allowed to play for Stylin On You (Gold Division). 

   When a player is involved in an altercation, the player gets suspended for ALL his
   teams.
 
   Suspension is as follows:
   Rocky Anciano - suspended for 3 Sundays.
                                 suspended from attending the games.
                                 suspended from writing (not even as Ghost Writer).
                                 suspended working the stats table.
 
   Chris Mosley - suspended for 1 Sunday for pushing Rocky shortly after.

   5 minutes earlier, we had Jayson Barrett from Franchise get WWE on
   Silent But Deadly.

   We're still in the process of sorting this out.

   The role of a HEAD OFFICIAL is to get an assessment of what happened.
   He must interview the stats-keepers and his referees despite the fact that the
   League Commissioner was in the stands watching the game.

   While Reggie Ramirez is in the process of sorting it out, I just want to remind you
   of our Zero Tolerance rule.

   Not only was Jayson involved in 1 altercation but he was involved in 2
   altercations. Two hard fouls, but it is what it is. A hard foul.

   There's no need to confront players after a hard foul. If you want to get WWE on
   somebody, I believe WWE headquarters is in Concord. There's no place for that
   here. We want our players to compete and not worry about players acting foolish.

   I know how competitive it can get. Players talk crap to me all the time just so I have to
   prove myself out there on the court. Do you know how many times I just want to get
   the ball and throw it off someone's head? Do you know how many times I just want
   to knock someone down?  Do you know how many times I've had to go to the gym
   and lift weights after just so I can take the anger out. I can't act stupid out there.
   I can't get caught up... I CAN'T.

   I've seen frustrated players sub themselves out...and those are the well behaved 
   players. Some of us can learn from them.

   After an altercation, we delay everything.
   Game Logs, articles, will be late this week as we sort
   this mess out.
 
   We're grown men. Let's act like it.

   Speaking of 3-pointers and All Star Games, guess what. We upped the ante
   this season. A lot of copycat leagues are copying our format.
   You know, 3-point contest, All Star Game, and Championship Game the very same
   weekend. We did it first and we have proof...oh back in Summer 2006.

   Now it seems like everyone wants to have a 3-point shootout. That's fine and dandy
   but uh it's time to '1-up' the competition.

   WE HAVE RACKS THIS SEASON. So that's...
   20 TF-1000 Basketballs
   5 White, Red, Blue basketballs as the money ball
   5 ball racks which means NO MORE REBOUNDERS needed.

   What does the winner get? We're done w/ the cash prize, no one really wants that.
   A big 3-point shootout Trophy AND a t-shirt AND a TF-1000 basketball.
   That's pretty good isn't it? TFs cost around $45 nowadays, and I'll sign it too. =)

   SPREAD 'EM
   The amount of hits the website receives is averaging is 9,000 hits daily.
   14,800 hits in 1 day? That's a lot of page views and just so we average the
   same amount of views throughout the week, this is what we will do.
 
   AROUND THE LEAGUE will now be posted on Friday for one of the divisions.
   It will alternate every week. Gold Division was posted on Friday this week,
   next week it will be Diamond/Platinum on Friday. We had to break it down to
   separate sections because MySpace only allows a certain number of characters
   before they cut it off. There will come a time when each division will have their own
   page and that will happen when the league gets bigger.

   The writing has improved and our stats-keepers are taking a lot of good notes
   throughout the game. It takes a lot for me to compliment my staff because I don't
   take compliments well myself and at the same time I want them to have that
   hunger, but at our midway point...
 
   The website has been great and the writing is much better. The copycat leagues
   can bite all they want but it's our writers that make the league over the top.
   You might upgrade your website w/ some spiffy Flash site, your stats might start
   improving but where else are seasons archived for you to see? We can look back
   and see when...

   When the Angkor Wat great Khorn Leng won MVP, we got that on file.
   When PJ Marte won the 3-point shooting contest for the first time,
   When The Problem humiliated Foundation on Rivalry Week.

   With that, I want to thank our writers for doing a great job writing.
   They're doing so good we want to read more, so hear's our online magazine,
   Lifestyle

    Thanks and see ya'll Sunday.

  

   IT GETS WORSE
   The best part of being a player in my own league is seeing all the b.s. calls too.
   I hear it all the time. Phantom calls, calls not going your way, blah blah blah.
   I hate the fact that some referees act like kids, some hold grudges, and some
   just can't keep up. We don't fire referees on the spot, there has to be several
   incidents, otherwise it would be unfair for them since we're acting like kids.

  I did all my complaining already so there's no need to cry over spilled milk. If you
   have complaints, just like I did as a player, please contact Head
   Referee Reggie Ramirez. Yah I had my run-in this weekend, got a
   tech and yelled profanities, that was very very very childish of me,
   and I apologize for that one. It won't happen again, so next time I play,
   I'll play with tape over my mouth. STUPID ZEBRAS

   MOVING FORWARD
   I try not to do stats anymore since I'm evaluating the referees half the time. I can
   honestly say the refs been on par except for a couple bad ones which we already
   let go. If you know some good officials that are licensed, let us know. The website
   has improved every season, the stats-keepers are getting better, but the officials...
   like Aaliyah, I'm on them like a hawk in the sky.

   I hate writing 'Debby Downer' blogs but that's how messed up Mother's Day was
   for me. Two teams being a hour late, a referee power-trippin', a player that bugs
   the hell out of me with irrelevant questions and staff members that won't pay up
   after they lose a bet.

   Maybe lunch at Pinoy Pinay with my mom will make the
   week better.
  
   Bifsteak, sinigang, and coke, please.
   Thank youuuuuu!!!
