After reading a Williams post in our BBall league, I wanted to remind you all of the greatest games ever playing in Fort Worth throughout the early 2000's...
Trail Lake.
Key Essentials to any game...
1. A Nine and a half foot goal
2. Graffiti Backboard
3. Wristbands, Headbands, high socks, or any other accessory that might make you appear good.
4. A 2-inch vertical.
5. Young Mexican spectators
Now... I never played with all of you, but I did with most and I'd like to remember all of the positive things about your game...
Brian "The Euro" Weiss- Pure shooter, I'm not sure his actual FG% was above 30%, but anything about 15% was in the top 3...
Brent "The Baron" Lubahn- Self professed "Sticky D." His D was pretty good. And there are no easy layups on the break. He will push you in the back. Noble.
Matt "MC9" Chambers- A real slasher. MC really can play. He just didn't care as much as the rest of us. Which is a good thing.
Michael "The Murano" Mazur- 6 fouls
Marc "Magic" Miller - Should have been a banger, but just wasn't his style. He preferred to get high and sub out. Does posses a nice finger roll.
Adam "The Kidnapper" Williams - Our perennial all star. AW can play. Shot blocking had to be his best asset. No negative comments. Weird.
Adam "Flagrant" Faust- Darrel Armstrong-like tenacity. Took pick up basketball intensity to new levels. Very ugly levels.
Had limited to no experience with Lee, Bear, and Brown. But I'd like to hear from you folks who know about them... Didn't Portillo almost beat Williams in a one on one game? Speaking of one on one... can we please hear about the Williams/Lubahn game? If you haven't heard it... it ends in a forfeit.

Hey guys. That made me so happy to read. I was actually coming to the site to post the following letter and to encourage you to do the same. Take a look at it and please join in with me!
PS - Portillo Rules!
****************************************************************************
Dear NBA,
Please take note of the wonderful opportunity presenting the league right now. The competition in the west is stellar as never before. As a lifelong Spurs fan I cannot wait to see San Antonio go up against the new rosters of Los Angeles, Phoenix and Dallas. Then when you thrown in the up and coming Hornets, Warriors and everyone else, it looks to be a great western conference playoffs.
However the defacto JV league in the east continues to fall farther and farther behind. I feel one reason is that the competition is always so weak it begets itself. Please, reseed the playoff format. Get rid of the east/west conference seeding now, then reseed after every round and allow the system to at least have the chance of having the best series in the finals. For many years in a row this has not been the case, to the detriment of your product and bottom line. Honestly you have a great interest in fixing this obvious flaw in your product. Give the people what they want!
Looking forward to any response.
Lee Portillo

New Music for the New Year...
I know, I know, I think I am the music god. But I believe everyone (except Lubahn) appreciates good music. And I love it so much I want to share it with you, and what I think you may like. I will try to stay true to myself and only suggest bands with bizarre pseudo-cool names.
Vampire Weekend/Vampire Weekend
This is indie music. In case you were still curious what that is exactly. And a very easy way into that world...
Who will enjoy it: Dalrymple, Chambers, and Brown
Sunset Rubdown/Random Spirit Lover
This band is the same crew that brought us Wolf Parade, which is the brain child of Modest Mouse. If that wasnt enough their songs are titled,"Up On Your Leopard, Upon the End of Your Feral Days" and "Winged / Wicked Things" This is what they call art rock. It is hard to listen to at first. But if you can stick with it the payoff is immense.
Who will enjoy it: Weiss, Mazur and Miller
The National/Boxer- Best album of the year. This guys voice will stop you, grab you, and kiss you with a fist. F' brilliant lyrics as well.
Who will enjoy it: Portillo & Williams
I hope at least one of you gives it a try...

I thought I would share this with you in case you are bored at work... Oh, and I am back in the good ol' US of A. Yeehaw.

If you haven't seen the fued that has been going on between Conan, Colbert and most recently John Stewart it's pretty funny and finally came to blows this week.
8 mins, but worth the click
