Yo from RoPo!
COMMISSIONER'S NOTES:
Hello, FBA Fans!
Thank you everyone who attended the meeting and the VERY exciting Game 1 of the 2013 FBA Finals! Holy smokes!! Could we have asked for a closer finish?!?
Here's a brief meeting recap for everyone that missed it:
- There will no longer be any birthday announcements in the FBA journals.
- Participants are reminded to stay positive and show good sportsmanship during the Finals. Please, only make positive comments supporting your teams, do not make negative comments regarding other teams or other players. This is fantasy simulation sports and everyone is here to have a good time, so please don't wreck that for anyone.

steviemaxwell for joining me! The schedule has remained the same for the rest of the Finals, though I do ask everyone to cut me some slack if I have trouble with the next two games… I'm about to being a week of really difficult stuff at work, so I'm going to try to get home in time for these games, but a warning that I may have to reschedule if work goes long.

Buck Hopper (Rabbit, PG) and Ryan Malone (Kangaroo, SG) made an agreement before tonight's game. Whoever scored fewer points would be forced to wear horn-rimmed glasses at the post-game conference, or, as Malone called them, "birth control glasses". Despite the bet, B-Hop fed Malone 3 alley-oop passes, though he insisted after the game that at least one of them was a 3-point attempt. Hopper easily won the contest, reaching 39 points and outscoring everyone else during the match, but it was Malone who won the game with a clutch bucket for the elbow, sinking the go-ahead winning shot with only 0.4 seconds left on the clock.
Like a trooper, Malone arrived at the press table wearing the thick, black-rimmed glasses, but then Hopper arrived wearing an identical pair. He explained that while he might have gotten more points than the kangaroo, Malone got the biggest bucket of the game.
And that's a swish.

And whoot! BGR gets #3 slot! That's awesome. They need it. Not like they really have the cap space to get somebody good though...
As for the game - like I said before, I don't mind losing by two points if it is a close game. And it WAS a close game, and a great tactical move by Malone - I'm just frustrated that it became that way because TAL lost steam at the end. :(
Ah well, water under the bridge. Next game, Bikers! NEXT GAME! *shakes fists!* :D
Well played, Mr. Hopper. Well played.
^_^
On a different note, it's fairly strange that the Clefs managed to get a better lottery position with the pick they got from Galveston (who were sixth in the lottery chances) than with the one they sent back to the Sand Dollars, which had the highest chance of being the #1.
