One week isn't going to make or break any teams guys... there are no captains in this league.

"him" is a "gal"... just so you know :).  I honestly don't know how any of this works since there are no captains, technically.

kalibo's right, just 'cause you lose this game doesn't mean you'll lose again next week. that's what makes this league set up better than the last.

Last night was the 1st I even heard about it. I was certain that she was still on our team till Soccer posted something about it.
Just curious who made that decision and what exactly our decision making process consisted of.

Well, considering I THOUGHT she was on BOTB to begin with, the question is moot.

Apparently she was on TRT.

Now I'm all ****** up wondering how she got on TRT!
Too much LSD in the 80s I guess.

Nik Lust   |   06.19.2012 5:24 PM 

yeah we'll take mmaprod over iced


This was the PM sent to Messiah, but it wasn't discussed with the team, nor was I aware of Nik Lust being a captain, so how was it a legitimate move?
