I have not seen this one before. Usually the assistant does mention wanting me to move on so he can take the job, but resorting to bribery is new - at least to me:

What a wild night - the game, the ceremony, the media, the fans and later at the bar, wow, you were really out of control. Just so you wouldn't forget it, I took some pictures of you and that sorority girl. You remember her right? Anyway, I'll just keep those between us assuming of course you take one of these jobs I keep hearing thrown around. Then I could step in as head coach at Georgia Tech. That's one sure fire way to make sure those pictures never make it to the press...if you follow me.

I think you mean blackmail.

But yeah this is hilarious.

Shhh-BANG!

ages ago, I suggested that WIS could run a contest in which users were invited to submit suggested new messages. I bet if each month they solicited new messages on a different topic, they could make the site more amusing - although there now are fewer recruit messages

January - message from AD after signing a recruit

February - message from player unhappy with playing time

March - message from AD about weak performance

etc

Totally agree this is a great idea. I was thinking something similar recently. Everyone can submit messages to a thread and if they use it then you get some credit. We could all knock out tons of funny messages really quickly and it'd be no work for them.

When I first started I got some really funny recruiting messages in my first season and it was something that I really enjoyed about the game. Doesn't make or break the game by any means but it does add another level of entertainment.

+1 - I love that idea.

Lol In Donald Trump voice YOU FIRED!!!

Extortion?

we could just do this ourselves - start a thread now and then about new messages on a specific topic, even without WIS endorsement - they might like some of the results and use them. It would, I think, be a cool way for them to engage with customers if they were to encourage it.
