Since we're playing such a shell of a team -- I'm going to try to get some of our lower level guys more PT than normal. We'll use our heavy rotational system that we normally use, but bump up some of the 3rd string guys to second string. Nothing major, just use this as sort of a pre-season game. We should roll over this team.

Totally ... the Longnecks and Cows made more, but their stadiums are bigger. I think we actually have higher prices than they do (which means VA and Fez should raise their prices too!). I will tinker a bit and raise them tonight for tomorrow's sales. Though our new seats are in the endzone and corners (the two lowest price levels). It should be good though. Our stadium is rocking. Though I'm jealous of PPP and Brussels' upper decks. The red makes it look cool. Bastids

Meatballs! Season ticket sales were a MASSIVE success! We sold out EVERY GAME and netted nearly 12 million bucks!! I used that money and promptly completed all the seats in our new sections (both endzones and the 3 new corners). It cost us close to 5 mill, but since we don't have a home game till week 2, we should be able to sell out the new seats and get another 4-5 million in ticket sales! Great work to all! Now, as for the schedule and boosting ... since I still can't post in our forums, I'll talk on here. We open with the Pro relegated team, the Madrid Spartans. I don't know what happened to them, but their team has been pilfered! They only have 12 human players and the rest are CPU. I'm not sure what's going on or if they're going to load up tonight ... but the highest rated human player is only a level 9. That being the case, I would advocate NOT boosting for tomorrow's game if you haven't already. I'm going to hold off on some of my level 16 guys for this game ... maybe next game too. I boosted about half my guys (mainly the O-Lineman and WRs to keep up with the rest of the team). Thoughts? I'll put together a game plan in the next couple hours. It doesn't look like the tactics have changed at all.

So what you're saying is we're about to start 4-0?

No ... we got hosed. We got one CB and WR -- but they weren't the guys we were looking for. Smalls was cut cause he was inactive -- but we are keeping Mickameyer till we can find a replacement or till he comes back active. Also, as for boosting, I just read in our thread what sloth said about game XP. It makes me wonder ... maybe we should wait for the schedule before boosting (though I know some people already have which is totally cool). Just thinking out loud.

Amen! And I still can't post (stupid jerks) ... so all the strategy and discussion stuff will be on this thread until that gets restored. I'm curious to see if they implemented any of the additions they talked about (new playbooks and more stuff for players other than train and set tactics). Nothing less than the Championship this year!

If you don't understand it, you're just not a good American.

Get a job, hippie!!!! ... Oh, wait. On second thought ...

I don't think it's going to be a player this year. But I'll ask my source.

Hell yeah. You, me, Luis and Kev can all go to muscle beach together. I'll bring the camera.

Umm ...

If I was the one in charge of handing out PMs to all the sinners on this board, the universe would implode.

That would have made for a catchier thread title for sure. Damn. Sanners should change his account name -- make him easier to find.

Sorry for the thread -- just trying to get in touch with Sanners. So if you could please check your PMs that'd be swell.

Spoken like a true nerd. I kid, I kid.

Tough loss. We just turned the ball over too many times in general all playoffs. We AVERAGED 5 turnovers a game in the playoffs. Just can't win that way. We were the better team than the HEAT on paper, but they were a team of destiny. They deserve it with their kicker hitting two 50+ yard FGs to seal the win. Good season by all TSW teams, I like that we get another season of games vs one another, but man, losing sucks. Zeta next year should be stacked though. With the Longnecks, Cows, Meatballs, Razorbacks PLUS whoever wins AA1. Imagine if they are as good as the Razorbacks. It's only going to get tougher.

Just because she walked into an "awaiting ambulance" doesn't mean the paramedics were just standing around. It means the ambulance was called, the paramedics were checking her out on the ground and determined she could walk under her own power to the ambulance. The headline gave me a heart attack -- but this will end up being a non story unless they find three pounds of coke, several sub machine guns and a small, japanese woman inside Marshawn's car when they search it.

It was just ahead of its time with the Scientology joke. No one outside of Hollywood knew what Scientology was when it came out ... Now, if it were to have been released today, everyone would get the joke and it would do so much better at the Box Office (just my opinion). Of course, Inside Hollywood movies seldom do well at the box office ... so who knows. But Bowfinger is simply brilliant. Just a top notch comedy and so well written. One of the lesser known bits about the script was that Martin (who wrote it) originally had KIT as a white guy ala Arnold. But then Eddie wanted to do it, so Eddie and Martin rewrote the script together in one weekend and added the black action star. Hilarious. Just odd that Eddie didn't get a credit on the flick. But oh well.

There's a thread now about the HEAT Game plan as well as one for INDV TACTICS in our team forum. Check 'em out when you get a chance.

I have two favorite bits from the latest article: First ... "he grainy, black and white video he showed was shot by Stan Romanek in Nebraska in July 2003. Romanek said in a film clip that he thought there might have been a peeping tom peering through his window, spying on his two teenage daughters, so he grabbed a video camera and started recording." So you think there's a peeping tom outside spying on your teenage daughters and you grab ... a video camera? Not a shotgun, a bat, a knife or even a shoe ... a video camera. Second, this bit about the effectiveness of the committee they wish to form in Boulder: "n the case of extraterrestrial contact, the United States government would be the governing authority, superseding local authorities, so it's not known what the city commission would accomplish." I love it. It's like a big F-U from the reporter at the end of the story.

Whoever is IronSac on GLB (plays on the Meatballs -- pretty sure he's a TSWer ...) Can you shoot me a PM? Thanks!
