Golf blows. Tennis is much more fun.

Of course either way you have to have other people to go do it with...and all my friends work.

Arkansas of all places. Great day to play though, little hot, but no wind or rain.

It'd make for a heck of a serve and volley game though

Guys this is probably the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me. I was at my girlfriends house tonight for dinner, and shortly after i had to go #2. My Gf's brother was in the downstairs bathroom, so i went upstairs to use the master bathroom. I was about to take a dump, and I remembered something my friend told me called AC Slatering.
AC Slatering is when you take a dump facing backwards on the toilet, just how on saved by the bell AC Slater always sat backwards on a chair. So when I was taking a dump, My stomach was facing the back of the toilet, and my back was facing the door. I heard footsteps coming up the stairs, and began to get nervous. Since AC Slatering is a tough position to get into, it requires taking off your pants. So there I am sitting in my GF's parents bathroom taking a dump with my pants off and facing the wrong way on the toilet. My dump was about halfway out when the footsteps became closer. I then turned around to see that I had not locked the door. Trying to finish as quickly as I could, I began pushing harder and harder. Suddenly, the door opened, and my gf's mom stood there in shock staring at me. We made eye contact for a split second, and I was so embarrassed I wanted to die. I quickly finished up, got dressed, and ran out of the house as quickly as I could. I am expecting my gf to break up with me tomorrow. I am so embarrassed and I hope my gf doesn't blabber about this, Ill die if anyone else finds out.

Just thought everyone could use a lil laughter.

Let me just ask this: If CatsPaw and the Bandits are so guilty of collusion, then wouldn't they do something to get a tight end that was better than level 1? Look at the depth chart... "Paul Orndorff"... level 1 third-string tight end, I think 5th string-wide receiver on rare occassions.


Short answer, not necessarily.

Wow, that's quite a lot to digest.

I won't go on and defend anything, it's pointless. I will make two thoughts public though:

When players become available you do what you can to grab them. The only Thrasher player upset was the one who WASN'T traded away from an inactive team.

You don't air issues with other players in team forums and try to get them in trouble. Trying to create gossip is like high school. That's not what teammates do. They should be looking out for each other, not setting them up to fail.

That's it. Easy stuff. I have nothing to hide, consider myself to be an honorable owner and coach... but I can't make everyone happy.

If anyone has questions please feel free to PM me, but I won't feed the gossip machine.

i'm not upset because i was left behind. i'm upset because what billy did was wrong. plain and simple.

That's the same reason I'm upset. He upset the competitive balance, and the integrity of our league by the deal.

He owes many people an apology. I left what I thought to be a fair solution, earlier in this thread, as well as PMing it to him.

I doubt he'll ever be hired to be a GM again, at least not by a discerning owner.

You keep trying to get around the point with circular rationalization. You traded a player to enhance you team. It was wrong to do. You know it, everyone else knows it. Quit trying to justify it...

YOU WERE WRONG

Isn't the point of trading a player to enhance your team? You've never done that?

I traded ONE player to him.

You realize that you are upset about someone trading ONE player to a team in exchange for ONE player of equal value?

Really? Where did he come from then?

I wanted to bring to everyones attention current controversy with the Brisbane Bandits. Possible collusion between Brisbane owner and Brisbane player that GM'ed another team (with GM rights to trade).

Here are the facts (and opinion after timeline).

The major players involved:

BillyVassi - former GM (not owner) of Baton Rouge Thrashers and player on Brisbane Bandits
catspaw27 - Owner of Brisbane Bandits
joemalaka - Player on Brisbane Bandits



Timeline:

May 19th - BillyVassi, as GM of Baton Rouge Thrashers, posts that every starter of the Trashers is available for trade. BillyVassi states he only wants inactives in return. Many say things like this would be considered "gutting a team". http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=250084 . Many players ended up traded but some where not. The players left behind were left on a gutted team with inactives and many kickers/punters.

May 20th - A thread on the Main GLB forum brings up BillyVassi trading all the players away, without the owner of Thrashers knowing about it. http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=254342&page=1 . Many think it was wrong, but the census is the owner gave him the right as GM so the owner cannot do anything about it. BillyVassi claims the owner didn't do anything and people wanted to get traded. Mixed reaction on the thread on if it was right or wrong.

May 21st afternoon- JoeMalaka posts on the Brisbane Bandits private forum about the BillyVassi threads. JoeMalaka does not say BillyVassi was right or wrong, just posting it as an FYI. Brisbane Bandits promote themselves internally and externally as an honorable team, thus why I wanted to bring it up. I left it for everyone to make up their own mind. Maybe what I did was wrong, but that can be debated.

May 21st, about 30-45 minutes after forum post by JoeMalaka - JoeMalaka is banned from the Brisbane Bandits forum. No PM from CatsPaw27 on why. JoeMalaka figures it was because of the post. JoeMalaka writes CatsPaw27 explaining why he did it and apologized if he was too far. CatsPaw27 responded pissed off, telling JoeMalaka he was wrong, and stating JoeMalaka (player is Mojo Dojo) is removed from the FB depth chart and will be special teams only. JoeMalaka gets in 6 plays only in following game the same day (about 45 minutes later).

May 21st, early evening - JoeMalaka gets two PM's from different GLB users he doesn't know. Both stated their is more to the story and I should look more into it. Both stated it is very strange the owner of Brisbane Bandits would get so upset so quickly about the situation.

May 21st, late evening - After the two PM's JoeMalaka decides to take the issue public. http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=261852 .

May 22nd, midnight - JoeMalaka finds that a new player on Brisbane Bandits was traded from the Trashers to the Bandits by BillyVassi during the "trade everyone" timeframe. http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=112386 . Catspaw27 has been trying to get a highly rated backup CB for awhile, and Brisbane Bandits got that player from the BillyVassi trading spree. JoeMalaka starts to think that this might be why CatsPaw27 got so upset, because he and the Bandits benefitted from what happened. The 2 users that PM'ed me definately knew something was wrong and were correct.

May 22nd, early morning - http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=261852&page=4 . Another GLB user finds that the Bandits also received a RB from the Thrashers. So two players traded to the Bandits from BillyVassi.

may 22nd, morning - A player from the Trashers posts in the above thread that BillyVassi is "full of ****". This player was left behind on the Trashers and not traded. Player claims people were upset but not as bad as BillyVassi let on. Player also claims that BillyVassi ended up on a stacked team that got many of the players he traded.


So that is the facts that exist. Now my personal feelings.

The Brisbane Bandits are a good team, great team. But as honorable as they try to make themselves? I don't think so. CatsPaw27 took advantage of a team getting gutted. Will this CB make a huge difference? Maybe, maybe not. But it looks bad for an undefeated team, in my opinion. Catspaw27 had to know the team was getting gutted, it was obvious. If you look at the thread, http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=250084, where BillyVassi posted that he was trading everyone..you will not see Catspaw27 post at all. BillyVassi claimed he took the first offer on everyone. Did Catspaw27 have a heads up? Catspaw27 let it be known in the private team forum he really wanted a highly rated backup CB, so BillyVassi knew it. Catspaw27 has gone quiet with responding to my PM's (granted there were heated after he told me I was benched). I gave him chances to explain himself with the players he received, and got no response.

And why was Catspaw27 so quick to "sit my ass on the bench" by simply posting links to the threads about BillyVassi? Looks like it might be because he was involved with it in some way.

I think the Bandits got two players, with one a very good backup CB, for pretty much nothing. They were able to trade away inactive players that were not playing anyways to get the players needed. I feel this is not fair at all for the league. I believe it is collusion.

Make up your own mind. I believe the Bandits season is tarnished no matter what, which is a shame. They didn't need to get involved in something like this.


EDIT: ADDED:: I never threatened to sabotage the Bandits team. I have PM's stating this. After i was banned I wrote catspaw asking why. He responded with why and he said I was benched. I then was pissed and responded I would not put any level up points into Mojo then. How is that sabotage? He benched me immediately first and then that was my response.

just caught this thread...without reading everyones responses...doesnt suprise me a bit...all the cockiness covers up all the skullduggery...and also why no mention of this in the city if champions update...sounds like reportable news to me...
