Breaking News: Matty Iannello is out for the season
Well the regular season anyway… as Matt has confirmed that Doctors have advised him to shut it down for the regular season and hopefully his foot will heal in time for the playoffs. Doctors have also advised that Matt take this this time to drop a few pounds to help avoid any future potential incidents. However there is still no proof that the League Director was proposing a nickname change from “The Great One” to “The Grande One”
Pink Stick Bag Suspended Challenge
With the new developments unfolding for Matty Iannello, The “Smilin Pete Lodi – Pink Stick Bag Challenge” is officially suspended. On pace to shatter his 12-goal challenge.., Matty was seen petitioning the league to take his “Average (per game) Goals Production” and apply it to the rest of the un-played season, thus bringing this silly challenge to an end.
Not so fast Fatso… We’ll reconvene in the Winter (and maybe even recalculate), as 2 out of the last 3 challenges have come down to the final game of the season and in Tony Bono’s case… the last 25-seconds of the season.
Welcome and Welcome back
1-Adam-12, 1-Adam-12… We have an ABP and BOL for Blame the Girl’s new rookie player Brian Roderick. We hear that Brian has a real desire to play in the Over-30 League.., but he’s been running with his “Blue” team.
It used to be Jim Barber and Nick Romano… but there’s a new fill-in whore in town.
Jumping from team-to-team and anyone that needs a solid dek hockey player (at 6:00PM only) - Welcome back Marty Makarewicz. Since Marty is sleeping with every team in town… He’s going to petition the league to move the Championship game from 5:00PM to 6:00PM and then pick what team he wants to play with in the finals
Gone is the long hair, but not the talent… Sean Snelders is making his (winded and out of breathe) return to Dek Hockey with the Shooting Stars. “Negotiations” are in process to change Shawn’s playing status from “Fill-in” to “Permanent Shooting Star”…. and by “negotiations” we mean… did Shawn’s check and payment clear yet???
The Over-30 League would like to welcome back from his long absence from the league… “El Baby.” Questioning several calls and confused about a Delay of Game ruling it’s nice to hear “El Baby” crying for (and about) calls.
New Over-30 DirectTv commercial
Have you seen the new DirectTv commercial that is similarly eerie to the John Colucciello??? I couldn’t find the video, but below is the transcription from the commercial;
When you don’t score goals… You get bet on
When you get bet on… You get depressed
When you get depressed… You miss hockey
When you miss hockey… Your team looses
When you return to hockey… you score a goal
(and) when you score a goal… your team ties
Don’t be a guy who gets bet on
The difference between Pre-game and Post-game team huddles
Two weeks ago we witnessed two team huddles resulting in two different outcomes.
First up… with the absence of Cuckoo’s Nest team Captain Matty Iannello and Joe Shannon still nursing a core injury… permanent fill-in player and newly self-imposed leader Bill Abcunas held a (pre-game) huddle to strategize their game play against defending champs Shooting Stars. Even though in the eyes of this reporter the Shooting Stars outplayed Cuckoo’s Nest for most of the game. The pre-game meeting must have included Billy telling goalie Scott Rosato to get his head out of his ass after he just let in 8-goals in the previous game… and Scott and the rest of the team responded with a 3-2 win.
Next up… Dan Broderick was seen holding a (post-game) huddle to dissect yet another disappointing loss. Armed with enough talent and leader who has won more games and tournaments than all of the Over-30 League Players combined. Dan’s frustration is one of optimism as he reminds his team that they are not out of the playoff race (yet).
Wait… What? Are we playing Defense or Offense???
This week we noticed changes in Dan’s line-up as a result of last week’s post-game talking to. We noticed that “Offensive” Centerman Mike Luise was playing “Defense”?
Confused by this move we had to get to the bottom of Player Captain and GM Dan Broderick’s brilliant hockey mind and discovered why Dan made the change to drop Mike back to Defense.
We’ll let Dan explain the change;
