That would be wild. Everyone in this group seems to have something unique and interesting to share. Not to tone down the activities, but I have always wondered what a 30 for 30 style parody of WIS Basketball would look like.

*** For immediate release ***

Savage League #5, Detlef Schrempf has been told that he is being pulled from the rotation entirely. Coach/Governor jhsukow says the 0-4 start is unexpected and unacceptable. Sources close to the team are expecting Robert Covington to be replacing Detlef’s SG, SF, PF minutes immediately.

“We aren’t getting it done on the defensive end”, Sukow states. “Detlef is a great teammate. He understands the decision and will stay ready. He is a wonderful competitor and remains an asset to this team.”

Detlef has yet to respond publicly.

wouldn't be the same without Penn though

5-0......OK, I see you.

First three squads may need a minutes tune up but Owls and Post are humming along.....

Because I have always had jobs where I had to travel a lot, I actually have met a lot of people from this site. Mostly a ways back in the HD/HBD days.

for jhsukow

Narrator Voice: 'What if I told you that in 1999 a group of sports enthusiast computer programmers from Cincinnati, Ohio got together and decided to build a website....? What if I told you about "WHAT IF SPORTS"?'

opening scene (camera on bosoxbill/Bill Simmons):...."so my cousin Sal tells me about this website for simulated sports games right? and I'm all like, 'what's a website'? 'what's a simulated sport? 'is there Boston players?'"

later scene (close up on Michael Jordan looking at a computer screen): "You're going to take Lebron before me? before me!?"

later scene (Bill Russell, looking directly at the camera, face in pain): "my defensive rating is what now!?"

Interstitial/beat:({screen graphic in 'old west' style letters: "the ballad of seble and the monkee"} - the sounds of a six shooter going off as in a duel): shot opens on a computer screen, hands typing feverishly...

later scene (camera on Troy Murphy's perplexed face): " so wait, I was really... good?

later scene (camera on two John Stocktons looking at each other in confusion): John 1, "somebody would have to actually shoot the ball, right?" and John 2 {shrugging}, "I mean? I guess?"

(I welcome any input or help as we build the script, we can edit the order of shots etc)

Sure, dBKC. Feel free to beat my 15-65ish team in the Salary Cap League, or my 6-24 Warriors in the DSPL. I won't even try to stop you, so happy B-Day...

As far as this league, I feel S2 should be 5 teams, all players, 13 picks. Maybe we can do votes, or DH can get SAVAGE and go dictator on us...

your savage dictator says...

definitely staying with 5 teams...definitely staying with 12 players

BUT...i do like the idea of a 13th round where you have the option to drop a player and draft a new one...gives a small bonus to the owners at the end of the draft


i dont really care too much about the bans on wilt/lebron/curry...i still think its a good idea but im fine with putting it to a vote

Being tied for 1st after a 1-4 pm performance has me extremely optimistic. The fact that there's six other guys tied and a ton more in striking range has me less so. It'll probably be a while before we see a few owners separate themselves from the rest of the pack.

thanks pexetera

no problem. It's still real early, but updates are always good. I have a team that's undefeated and a team that's winless. And the winless team is not what I thought my weakest team was. But at least I have 3 teams at the top of their division. (for the next 8 hours)
