BUZZERBEATER GRIPPED IN THE MIDST OF CRIME WAVE.
Aka "The case of the missing duckets"
This is the buzzerbeater community, over 13,000 clubs from all corners of the globe, all working towards a common goal, to be the best in the world. Backing them is a endless support system of trainers, doctors, PR men and others designed to improve the performance of the product on the court. But sometimes things happen where answers need to be gotten. That's where I step in, my name is Friday, I carry a badge.
https://youtu.be/vB6buYYt-bAIt was February 11th, a Tuesday, it was rainy in the Piedmont of North Carolina, and I was working bunko out of the "slaughterhouse" division. A curious collection of Americans in the USA division three league five, hence the Kurt Vonnegut tinged moniker. A recent issue across the buzzerbeater world with attendance figures had caused a financial panic . Investigators had been dispatched to come up with answers, to find a common thread.
2:48 PM: Detective Gannon and I headed out to the various arenas around the league looking for clues, for a common thread..
First off we started in the collective known as club red where we ventured into the litter box....stray cats were all over the place and the foul feral stench of catnip and spraying filled the air and every surface was covered in fine feline hair as Gannon soon saw his eyes water and his sinuses fill. " I should tell you Joe, if I don't get away from these cats we are gonna have a real problem" After finding team GM homercat and after citing him for failing to properly board his collection of cats we asked what sort of attendance issues he saw. "Yeah the numbers are off, but the arena looks full, I mean c'mon man we won 20 games this season!" We also spoke to Jay the Masters of Bb manager who also expressed concern, though he had bigger concerns on how to handle his opponent.
1:05pm our next trip was cross country to Hayward CA, normal travel time 5hrs, we made it in 23 minutes. We started by interviewing Lumberjacks manager netteb 16. After Gannon narrowly avoided being impaled by a falling oak our subject also expressed his concerns about the current posted numbers. He too noticed solid crowds but sub standard accounting numbers. Attempts to talk with phantom thieves manager mamaluigi5 were met with disdain, a fierce cussing in Italian and a Luigi planted on Gannons shoe, " I'd just gotten those shined Joe"
4:41 pm. Now our investigation headed towards the contestants in big blue or what is formally know as the big 8. Our first stop was in the New River Valley of Virginia where Hokied resides with his club Deronimo. After showing us his latest designs on his continuing effort to finally promote he too expressed disgust with the current economic trajectory he also though had no real answers. SThoma33 of the bunnies however pulled us over, "that] little prick in Greensboro, Lambini, word is some of his people are behind this, but you didn't hear it from me."
5:30pm: Where's our next stop Joe? Greensboro. Oh, that's a rough crowd, if we go down there looking like this nobody will give us the time of day. After a short trip back to the station we were outfitted in attire proper for coliseum tailgating
https://youtu.be/NIm8qNirTOkAfter surveying this scene we decided to go visit the ticket office to see how robust sales were. How much for bleachers? $12, little steep dontcha think chimed in Gannon. Just then a shady looking figure approached, it was long time Generals bench warmer Pete Tanner, "come back 15 minutes before tipoff" .
Upon returning to our cover vehicle Gannon asked "Joe you think we have anything here" We might Bill, but we got to have something to collaborate this with before we move in.
To be continued
