Make sure if you do your own numbers on your jersey that you don't use numbers higher than 5. Just a thought. They might not care, but technically it's against the rules.
You are right Rush its very hard to get in contact with Marcus. I left him 6 messages Oh well, i hope he updates the schedule tonight. I think everyone should expect a game tomorrow and be ready if we get called for a game.
I might go out there just to scout some teams tomorrow night. Sounds like there's quite a few newcomers this time around and we'd be smart to get an idea of what we're up against.
I wear number 4. If we don't play tommorow, can we get practice time in? If I can borrow a soccer term, who is the most fit here? I haven't played in a few months, and I feel like I have a fever. I am open to play tommorow after six. I have to work saturday, but I get off at six pm.
If yall need a practice squad to go against, feel free to ask. I know a couple of guys that would like to play a good pick-up game.
im up for getting some games in but how does thursday sound to everyone? tomorrow is a possibility but if theres no game i think i have other plans....im on my vacation
I wear number 4. Here's all the #'s, so that Rocketfire doesn't duplicate... #1 - Josh #2 - Me #3 - Omega (just in case) #4 - Kam #7 - Biggie (just in case) #11 - YaoWink #12 - Rush #24 - Stack #33 - Mogrod I don't know about most fit, but I've been keeping in pretty good shape since the last league ended. Been playing pretty regularly and doing some moderate weight lifting. I didn't work out my arms AT ALL leading into or during the last league and I think it effected my shot pretty badly. Looking forward to this fresh start. Let's kick some ass.
Sucks...I hope we have a game...and we learn about it soon enough...it sucks not knowing what is going to happen especially if you have other things to tend to...can't believe Marcus is that bad at returning calls when it has to do with a league we pay money to play in.....
I would assume that since there at 8 teams on the schedule (4 games) and there are only 4 times slots (7pm, 8pm, 9pm, 10pm) that this is just going to be our bye week along with whatever other team isn't on the schedule yet. Then in the following weeks two teams will share a bye week. So...I really doubt we're playing tonight.
Okay...that cleared it up a lot...i should have thought about that...but your a much smarter man Clutch I guess i will head up to 24hour and play a bit to be ready for next week.
Lol nah. We all have our moments. It definitely looks like there's no game tonight, so I think I'm going to go shoot at the park and see if there's any games going on. Hopefully I can get some run. But first, I have an important issue to discuss. I definitely don't want to come off as pushy or rude, or whatever adjective you prefer to use, but I have a beef with the roster situation. I was under the assumption, whether it was correct or not, that Adam was going to be on the team with us. Simply put, he provides us with everything we could ask for, including a second player with some considerable height. I understand not wanting to add some guy just because he's tall, but that is by no means the case here. I'm a competitive person and don't like to admit when someone is just flat out better than I am, but he is. In fact, he's one of the best all-around basketball players I've played with, and he would make the team much better. He's by no means selfish and does a little of everything without dominating the ball. Imagine a 6'3" Boris Diaw with a better shot. I know people might be worried about minutes, but I don't think it would be a problem. Josh and myself have both decided that we'd gladly sacrifice significant minutes, and even our starting positions if necessary, to get Adam on the team while still getting everybody fair playing time. I'd love to play 40 minutes every night, but I'd rather play 25 and win the championship this time around. So, not to be a jerk, but you guys need to tell me whether or not Adam is welcome on the team so I can let him know. I don't want answers that beat around the bush either, I want to know some honest opinions. Obviously I want him on the team, but you all have earned the right to decide who joins and who doesn't, so I will respect whatever you say. That's how a team should work, I think.
I agree with you as well. I mean the ultimate goal is to win and have fun. I know I'm like super super alternate but if you have a guy who has talent and is willing to play, you pick him up. I won't be playing at all but nothing would satisfy me more than to see the Stalkers win the D league. I guess it comes down to a vote of the paying members. Who is going to mediate is the question and who to drop is another question.
I'm certainly not suggesting that we drop anybody. We have 8 right now, and if Josh and I cut our minutes down some, we could fit him right in no problem. We need a power forward to go with Yao down low, otherwise I wouldn't be so insistent. Heart, determination, and talent are vital, like mogrod suggests, but in my opinion that's no reason to turn down needed size. Especially when the guy in question has those other characteristics as well. But yeah, I'm not suggesting anybody gets dropped. I'd never do that. We can do a simple vote as far as I'm concerned. Everyone just post one of these... Adam - Yes Adam - No I don't need explanations unless people care to give them. My intention is for this to be a vote/discussion, not an argument.
Uh-oh, dissension among the ranks. We could have our very own Kobe-Shaq soap opera unraveling before our eyes. just ****in' with ya.
Having 9 paid players on the roster is tough though. Honestly having 8 was tough. I was content being on the sideline and helping out as much as possible with motivation and yelling at you guys and managing minutes. You never really saw any of the other teams with more than 8. If you guys are happy with 9 though, then that would be awesome, as it would be less for each player to pay. I'd still go watch you guys play.
