Ok gotcha....Ya, I totally understand that. Was just wondering. I've wondered why a couple of my guys popped but their salary didn't move.

Webb and McClain and Skinner are, 94,91 and 92 on TSP respectively and all three are salary efficient BUT they also vacillate in performance, especially MCClain who has a good mix of skills but nothing that exceeds 13, also I think he has a gunners mentality which has shown the ability to be toxic to the causr. Skinner seems to have a slightly higher end and is far and away our best outside defender, his DR and HA are also best but his passing has always lagged a bit, then again all of our passing lags a bit and that is why against Stout defenses the offense flows like molasses. Webb has best perfect balance of guard tsp to forward rdp and has always shown he's a gamer, a little gangly but we love him anyway. both he and Armstead have a even IS SB distribution and I think it works well. But both are what they are, nice pieces but not stars.

My 23 year olds Strong and Taylor as I said last season are mid 70s and upper 60s respectively. But my plans to do a show roll is being rethought thanks to having Paul Han dropped in my lap, superstar potential, but a real funky look. Listed as a PF, already got the IS to 9, is naturally occurring strong RB,ID AND OD but awful on SB and stabby doesn't think that will be a feature worth spending much on as he's only 6'5 His shooting is average/inept so those will never be great, mediocre HA/DR so those will never be great, and inept passing will also be something that will not be a strength. I see lots of players talk about how they see a guy looking like a LeBron, John Wall, etc etc. I look at this dude as I see a Barkley, proverbial "once in a generation talent" especially for someone who does zero R&D when it comes to the rraft. Stabby suggest rolling him 1v1 at SF, and we are going that way, but since he already for a couple of minutes at PF Tuesday night I am going ID this week. Might go RB next, get those inside strengths moving upward, then go the SF route and perhaps mix strong and Taylor into the conversation.

One question for this rogue gallery, is it time to go full on lawnmower man and turn team mascot Pete Tanner into a world class trainer?

Doctor

Was one of my first player's I develop but was sooo I could stand to have him away from the team. Let go bro Let go ...

Fade in/cue: https://youtu.be/xSJi1H3jZPk

tonight's opening video package is of various players being sent ass over tea kettle. Of various shots of players and coaches with looks of amazement, disgust, and bewilderment as this evening opening theme pumps out in 4/4 time.



Announcer: As '42 progresses the pecking order is getting established but is also tempered by upcoming cup concrrns. Tonight is a slate which could see order established or chaos reign supreme.


Over in club red.


The winners and bulls battle to get off the goosegg and to get out of the basement.

While Masters seek to avoid a Sharks trap

At the top of the club red food chain kitties are seeking to better establish their space and to remain the leagues only undefeated team. The Mavs on the upper hand would like nothing better than to declaw the kitties and to pull even.

Though it is the blizzards who would be in the best place to take advantage of a kitties calamity. First though they have to find a way to win on the road at 2 who themselves are seeking to throw a wrench in the machine.

Over on the left side of the dial in the blue bloods

Our cameras will focus on a battle between two teams sitting on the razors edge as the Pistons play host to the Generals and their traveling caravan of hooligans


Down in the NoCo the Lions will be seeking to boil the bunnies like they were Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction.

While Stormz seek to avoid being sucked down towards the cellar as they face a trap game against timequake.

While top dog Deronimo will attempt a sparty sacrifice in the cantankerous climate of Cassell Coliseum.

Stay tuned for a taste of the tangles the league with face in the first week of the competitive cup draw. Per usual Sybil is here with her say. And tonight our player profile looks at the living and continually evolving legacy of Ali Colon of the Lions. Don't touch that dial, we've got something to make you smile as it's time again for BB2NIGHT

Twenty two turnovers. 15-7 deficit on the offensive glass. A stretch from the final moments of the first to about the middle of the 3rd where the Generals were outscored 44-16. Those three things told the tale.

And now we got the old rival Deronimo coming to town, followed by a cup draw against a very solid d4 team in Tallahassee Technicals. A club managed by a experienced competitor who has a really good player in Frederick Schwartz, a 22 yr old Frenchman with a 50k salary, who will have plenty of usable minutes. https://youtu.be/IjVatNQr-GM

Well I thought he would have minutes to spare but he played his Mainstays hard last night against an opponent who is minimally engaged. And he has a good opponent in front of and behind me. So perhaps I am going to get a break on this guy, but I will still have to stagger my minutes to save something for the cup because we need the profit.

Congrats to the Kitties, It's been a long time since I gave up 50 and still lost. "Tip My Hat" you guys look good. I think Free Throws hurt mostly this game and unfortunately not something my trainer will focus on for awhile to come. I look forward to the re-match in the friendly stadium of Above The Rim with Mark Cuban yelling and getting Zagorny off his game.

Well done Rnd 2......Other than Sergio, nobody else could get going, and then when we did, we couldn't get a stop. Your guys played better than mine the entire game. Hopefully we can flip the script the second part of the season.

Tonight's package is of various entities entering the arenas of battle.

Cue: https://youtu.be/meaYfk1DBN4


It's fan appreciation night here in the Slaughterhouse as we snake thru our Tuesday slate of games. Though most pr men in the league are hoping their derelict denzien bleacher creatures got their debit card deposits. Or at least Generals management hopes so as they could use a good house.

Speaking of which the Generals tonight will be seeking to climb back into contention against their ancient rivals from the new river vally. Deronimo on the other hand would like nothing more than to deal a deathblow and to strengthen their position stop the conference.

The bunnies look to creep back to even as they play host to a timequake club trying to stay out of the cellar.


Sparty fans are feeling rather unappreciative about a start that has them looking at the rest of the standings from the hole. But putting together a winning effort against the steadily performing Pistons will be a tall order.


And the stormz will seek to wreck havoc against a Lions club trying to finally flower after seasons of steady incubation.

Over in club red....


The winners are hoping to survive the sharks attack and to finally snap their skid.

The Mavs and 2 tussle in a battle between two teams trying to avoid the entanglement of the relegation zone.


The Masters hope to take the bulls by the horns and to stay within striking distance of the top spot.

While tonight our feature presentation will see the blizzards seeking to put the kittens out in the cold and to chop the margin in the win column by half


Sybil will be here with her selections. It's a very special night in the 'Boro as it will be the unveiling of the Generals new "Union Jack" alternate uniform design. Plus we've got another edition of Vox Populi taking the fans pulse on some of the burning questions of the still young season. If you need your league 5 fix, we've got just the right mix as it's time again for BB2NIGHT!

And then there were none - in terms of undefeated teams with my kitties losing in an away TV match. Knew I was not going to make it for too long being undefeated.

Got no quibbles about the result - although a few stats jump out - I got 27 assists to 16, but also suffered 10 TOs compared to 1 and 20 fouls versus 9. Too bad there is no TV replay available in this televised match to verify things . . . .wait a minute . . .

Will be interesting to see who goes for the long cup run, and who focuses on the league instead.
