Week 2 News and Notes
Prepare For A White Out
The Alpha Male Isn’t Going To Like This One…
Yet another new team uniform was unveiled last Sunday, as Mexican Standoff debuted a hot new look for 2009. In the team’s continuing quest to go incognito this season, Peaches and his crew have toned down the team’s shirt to a very plain white, with a small, modest logo. In addition, the jerseys no longer have player nicknames on the back, as Standoff has gone the New England Patriots route by choosing to highlight the team over individuality. When reached for comment, LBS, Inc. loud mouth “The Alpha Male” Ken Poulin was once again not happy with another team adopting white as its primary color.
And That’s Why He’s The Foot
For those league members lucky enough to be at Tompkins at the start of Sunday’s schedule, something was clearly amiss. Perhaps it was the four nets set up on the western court, or perhaps it was the hockey players wearing roller blades. Either way, with a pickup game of roller hockey underway as BTSH was ready to start the day, league officials Bob “Olmec” Weyersberg and Jeremy “The Foot” Schumacher were forced to flex some muscle. Although Olmec and The Foot eventually stomped out the problem, the reluctance of the roller bladers to leave caused a delay of nearly thirty minutes in the BTSH schedule (as opposed to the standard twenty minute delay).
Corrections
In a startling turn of events, captain Larry “Mad Dog” Zimmer has rescinded his offer to Martin “Ocho Cinco” Cejka to join What The Puck. Apparently, talks broke down when Cejka refused to join Zimmer’s fantasy baseball league. However, the media has obtained this list of several of Zimmer’s future targets.

1- Not a fan of the new Standoff “jersey.” I like last years colors better.
2- Datsyuk…nice touch. Shocking no Ranger/Elf made the list of people to steal for WTP!
Rich
Why play for a team when you can just play against them and kick their hockey asses?
Alex should be way higher than 7th on that list.
Vote Devlin!
also, the only reason Alex is on the list is to give other teams a sporting chance.
Meredith would never join the orange,cross that name out. Maybe u should add, than cross out Sal to refill that empty spot.
