CALENDAR

I GUESS I'M DOING ALL GAME LOGS FROM NOW ON
Earlier in the year, I had someone else doing Game Logs (no names mentioned). If you look at the Money Shot vs. Game Bang game back on Week 3, James McCray is misspelled McGray, and I know how to spell his last name... MC CRAY, so that's proof that wasn't me.

In all fairness, Week 3 was the last day to add players. GM skipped a line and wrote Rashad's information there which probably confused the person typing the data in.

BLUNDER = NEW GOLD SCORING LEADER
Well, I don't know why GM Rocky Anciano waited until the end of the season to point out that Rashad Martin didn't get credited with the points. Here is the correct game log with Rashad getting his points. Coincidentally, the game where Rashad didn't get all his points was against Game Bang and the former scoring leader, Chris Anderson. We gotta do what's right so the sortable stats was re-done and Rashad Martin is the new scoring leader.


SCREWED.
I was talking with several players last night, and to make a long story short, there were illegal players that played for Screwed Up Click when Cisco Acevado scored his 100 point game.

"RINGERS" are classified as players who play for the team and are not on the roster. Because ringers played in the game, the stats DO NOT count and unfortunately, Cisco's 100 point game will not count in the record books.

If YOU ARE NOT ON THE ROSTER, DO NOT PLAY IN THE GAME as somebody else!!!

ALL STAR ROSTER

 

* Player of the Week
** Qualified for 2 teams
- JERSEYS WILL BE PROVIDED for Diamond vs. Platinum Division Game

DAMN ROOKIES
So it's been brought up to me that Shaun Miller from Brotherhood isn't a rookie. It's also been brought up to me that Derrick Andrew isn't a rookie either. I'll make the corrections...no excuses like, "What had happened was I was umm, staying up late and saw this website and I got distracted..." my bad. LOL.

QUADRUPLE OT??
When the hell are we allowed to have a QUADRUPLE OT?? I heard about Nazo vs SICKWIDIT playing in 4OT and according to the rule books, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A 4OT. SUDDEN DEATH takes place on TRIPLE OT. We're lucky Brea Canyon Gym didn't boot us after 1 p.m. since the tenants right after us really want their kids program starting at 1 p.m. This would have been problematic. Games would have been pushed back since a 1st Round Platinum Game would have been pushed back.

ONCE AGAIN, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A QUADRUPLE OT. Reggie Ramirez and Francis Pascual should know better! If you forgot, check the RULEBOOKS!!
RULES UPDATED

DO OVER
A lot of people aren't happy with their performance in the Playoffs. USUCK isn't happy, Bank isn't happy, Kings of Krunk ain't happy.

So check this out, we're hosting a tournament in 2 weeks. Tournament format and it's double elimination so you get at least 2 games in. Winner gets a free entry to the upcoming season and Championship trophies so it's totally worth your time.

Everyone knows your stats for Playoffs aren't on the website. Tournament stats and writeups will be included for a price of $200. That's $20 per player with ref fees included. We only have room for 8 teams in Lower Division and 8 Teams in lower division. Don't miss out!
 

I KNOW IT'S A TIME TO BETTER YOURSELF.
Usually around this time of the year, I work on trying to be a better person. It's LENT, I sacrifice a lot of temptations and I like to celebrate on Easter with a big meal and get back to being a dumbass shortly after. Usually I try to be nice but for a second, maybe two, I want to say F*CK YOU, UPLAND SPORT ARENA

LIGHTS OUT
So halfway through the Boss Players vs SICKWIDIT game, they turn the lights out on us. It wasn't a malfunction, it was because they wanted their money right away. Pretty f'in immature if you ask me. How would you feel if Superstar let you play for one half and I stopped the game asking you guys for your league fees? Anyways, that's what they did to us and this is how it works.

GYM RENTALS
With the exception of Brea Canyon, we pay after we play. Brea Canyon, Municipal Gym, like they money up front so all your league fees go to that right away. Walnut, ASC, they're on a monthly basis so every month, they'll give us a bill, we pay for it.

The way Upland works is that after a month, they'll send us a bill and we'll pay for it. I'll drive to Upland, meet up with their gym director and I'll make a payment.

Saturday, I get a call about paying for Upland but I'm in San Diego for the Playoffs so I let them know I'll drop by tomorrow. Sunday comes along, I'm supposed to drop by with the check at night, my bro is working on his music and my checkbook is in the car, and I'm stuck at Brea Canyon. They want their money on the spot like I'm supposed to pull 2,000 out of my ass and last I checked I posted the 3G's Bailout article not too long ago so you know we're short on cash flow right now. Considering that we ALWAYS get pushed back an hour or two because of NJB, the least they could do is accept payment on Monday morning. It must be something else...they must hate us for a reason...

LIKE SPRITE, IMAGE IS EVERYTHING
It doesn't help that we had players act up at Upland last week. It doesn't help that people run their mouths and don't know when to shut up at Upland every time we play. Ever since the High Five incident, the staff at Upland has hated us and they're finding ways of getting us out at the gym. Last night was the last straw, and considering how f'd up their facility is, I'm more than happy to leave Upland. They got crooked rims, rubber floors, and for some reason, altercations always happen there. There was Shock Value acting like Chris Brown last season, there was the Lady Skull-basherz incident, there was that "It's A Wrap" push to the head that got someone suspended, and there was that bff turn enemies turn bff when we eat some wings incident that happened just last week.

The next gym we get, everyone needs to behave and act accordingly. Get your league fees paid up front because this is what happens when Superstar tries to help teams out, and teams lag on payment.

ON A BRIGHTER NOTE
The first Midnight game happened last night with Redemption beating Outlawz. I want to thank those teams who played and were patient with the situation. We had our end of the season meeting last night and accolades were chosen. We'll make the announcement BY Friday but I want to leak one out already.

Congratulations to Francis Pascual, Superstar Staff Member of the Season. I don't know why everyone likes you, but you deserve it. You'll be presented with the Superstar jersey on All Star weekend as long as you let me have it since Aries won't give me one for free. =)
 

F'IN CHEATERS
There's nothing more I hate than cheaters. Seriously. I really do hate cheaters. The good outweigh the bad here at Superstar and a lot of players play with a lot of integrity and follow the rules. However, there are a couple of cheaters out there.

I'm sure people cheat because they feel incompetent and they're not man enough to tough it out. Even when my teams only had 4 players, I never opted to cheat but some people are different and they think they can get away with it.

Well, Anthony Coward err Howard of Bomb Squad this means you. I hate the fact that you call me and ask me if I can let you play with a player that's not on the roster. I also hate the fact that I ask your player for ID, he says it's in the car and he'll bring it back after the game and he never comes back. I tell you I don't recognize your player and you tell me I played against him when I know damn well who I play against. Your player sounds like he's been sucking on helium and I would have probably made fun of his high voice if I did play against him back on Week 2 like you said. I made fun of him last week for sounding like a chipmunk and I'm sure I probably would have interviewed him on Superstar Radio just so the whole world would know how much of a b*tch he sounds like. Welcome to the 80's list cheaters, I have no tolerance for you.

LAGGING W/ GAME LOGS
Yah I'm lagging with game logs... but at least I don't cheat. My teammates never cheat, and you shouldn't cheat either.

"Bear never cheats."
- Alex Ivezaj, Superstar Radio

SUPERSTAR TV
Just a reminder there's no Superstar TV this week because Anthony Howard cheated last week. No seriously though, there's 8 episodes this season so I'm saving the 8th final episode for the Playoffs. You know what's funny... Anthony Howard, the cheater, plays for the SD Commish's team. Ryan wasn't there this weekend and sure enough, when the cat is away, the mice come out and play. Peace.
 

3G's Sports
...have officially been dropped from the league due to failure to pay the remaining balance of the league fees. We pay for gym time, league officials, etc. We go the extra mile and provide you with a quality website complete with stats, write-ups, pictures, and features not found in surrounding leagues.

Teams have an obligation to make full payment by Week 3. When teams bail out it puts the whole league in a bind. This is a pay to play league!

ACTING UP
2 Players are suspended for 1 game for accumulating double technical fouls. Another player was suspended for charging his teammate at Upland Gym. If you need some anger management, you might want to visit:

Using the refs as an excuse is pretty lame. After the run-in with the association referees last season, I'm 95 percent behind our league officials. Why 95? Well, like NBA refs, I'm pretty sure these human beings tend to hold grudges from time to time. I have a gut feeling that if I yell at one of them on a non-call and b*tch about it the whole game, they'll get me back with a traveling call. With that said...

BEING A VETERAN
I'm not the greatest baller in the world but when it comes to using experience and basketball IQ, I'm up there... you know what I'm sayin'.

If a lot of calls are going your way in the 1st half... you could pretty much make the assumption that a lot of those calls are going the opponent's way in the 2nd half. If the refs are going to let you play instead of calling ticky-tack fouls, then I would probably get physical on defense. I'd stress hitting perimeter shots because you know you're gonna get hacked when you drive in. If the refs call ticky-tack fouls all game, then I would probably drive it in so my players get to the line.

To make a long story short... we can't shoot for 100 points like Cisco, we can't dunk like Amos, we can't be as fast as Mr. Swag... but if we're smart like Old School (San Diego Division) and use our basketball knowledge to our advantage, we would probably win games no one would expect us to win. 

GAME LOGS WILL BE UP TONIGHT
Seasons past, I'd delay our features because of suspensions. There's a lot of work but I'll have everything up by tonight.

PEACE

I HAVEN'T BEEN POSTING BECAUSE
...I've been trying to score 100 points w/ Kobe Bryant in 2K9 and still can't do it. Once again, congratulations to Cisco Acevado for that remarkable feat. Thanks for taking away from my shine because 10 minutes before that, people were talking about my 10 three-pointers, a career-high. 10 minutes later, you scored as many points as I did in a game. =(

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS
Move your clocks 1 hour ahead. Don't forget, it's Daylight Savings Time!

SUPERSTAR TV EPISODE 15
This week features the 100 point game by Cisco Acevado. It also features the league's first MVP, Lalo Arroyo and Bank GM Aries Inguito. Lastly, there's been a lot of hype for Watchmen lately and there's also been a lot of hype on one of the league's most decorated player, Kenneth Ubom. The Watchmen movie trailer should give the Street Fighter Gold Division promo a run...

SCHEDULE CHANGES
I'll make one more tonight at 8 p.m. and a couple more before 5 p.m. on Friday.
