Co-ed D League in the News

The crime of the century has been thrust into the public eye by way of Ed Fletcher's hard-nosed journalistic piece in today's Sacramento Bee.

Since some of us know Ed and he wants to keep his journalistic integrity, it was decided that the Luck Dragons would be an appropriate team to interview. Of course the Luck Dragons took this metaphorical softball which was lobbed at them and knocked it out of the park by using this tragedy to promote themselves instead of showing concern for the league as a whole.

They bragged about their eight game winning streak and about how they could beat us even without lights. I can't believe I grilled wieners for these people!

If ESPN has taught me anything it's that when one team gets quoted in the paper bragging about themselves that's called "bulletin board material." I guess the way it works is that I'll clip out the article and put it up on our company bulletin board and this constant reminder of what jackholes the Luck Dragons are will provide the internal power to compensate for our general lack of skills and bring us victory next week.

Just like those Daphne's coupons that were up there motivated us to eat Greek for lunch, this will have the same effect. The $5 gyro was totally just foreshadowing.

The weak link here is that none of us ever read the bulletin board. Did you know there are still job postings up there? And our mission statement? Who reads this stuff?

Anyhow, when the actual softballs are lobbed next week we best bring our A-game. The Luck Dragons are askin' for it.

Coach Nick -- I was misquoted. Our winning streak is actually either nine or ten games, not eight. As for our chest-thumping on the pages of the Bee, per standard LD team procedure, Emily Currin has been disciplined but we won't comment any further on the specifics. Sometimes the sweet taste of victory can cloud our collective judgment, and we occasionally forget how bitter defeat tastes. So to remind ourselves, we'll ask you next week. Hopefully.
Love, Coach Brian
