Can someone explain to me why they think weeks without a home game are a big deal?.

I think the end of your post & Smallfries pretty much covers it, but the perspective financially is very different in this game if you have little to no money or are rolling in money like you are. You are correct that at the end of the day we all play 11 home and 11 away games each season so it basically averages out.... however, for teams with little money there is a hit right out of the gate because there is a financial update before the season starts, so what little money the financially strapped teams have its reduced before they even get started. Week one only has one game, so if its a road game that means they have 2 consecutive financial updates without a home game. If they do have a home game to start the season, but draw the schedule with 3 consecutive road games early in the season, then again that will be 2 financial updates without home game attendance revenue.... if this rapid drop in Cash puts the team negative, yes they can make it up later when the schedule is back loaded with home games... But in the time being they are charged a 5% penalty on the amount they are negative..... Additionally while being negative a team cannot buy any scrimmage scrubs if necessary & that may negatively affect game shape, and of course an injury can be devastating to anyone, but especially to a team running with a negative cash position.

So basically some of you are living paycheck to paycheck? And not really keeping any savings even when you see that two weeks from now the tax man is coming?

I guess I feel you a bit on the start of season situation though, that is a tricky one. Especially if you made a failed playoff push.

How did this guy get on my team? (9919598) I truly have no recollection of ever signing him! Looks kinda like a more tan Vardis Sourpis without a jersey #. Is that you in disguise?

especially if someone pisses me off and makes me want I destroy them ;)

Destroy sounds so final

You bought him back in September... he hasn't played a game. Curse that silly 30 player display limit! This is the 21st century, we have long lists of things!!

You should clean out your couch cushions more often; his entire family is squatting there, I think.

The thing is... I clearly remember every other player *except* him. When I signed my 2 new NBBA guys last night & was going through my roster I was like, "WTH? Who is this guy & where did he come from?"

It's as if he's some guy off the street pretending to be a player & hoping I don't notice. I wouldn't put doing something like that past you though... think of all the money you'd save on massages by sneaking on my team.

You're taking lucky fans to a whole new level!

What's a man to do? When the distinguished gentlemen of lethargy on the Lethargy continually refer to buzzerbeaters as happy endings, it strikes a certain sense of curiosity. I'll refrain from typing out any of the myriad of double entendres related to ball handling or taking it to the hole, but we all know Sourpis is all about going backdoor.

Hey everyone, I'm going to attempt to do something I used to do in D.III. I will be giving out awards for Coach of the year, player of the year, defensive player of the year, All BB 1st and 2nd teams, an All defensive 1st and 2nd teams.

However, I am going to do this differently, which will require me to start now despite us barely being half way through the season. So if you guys could, please send me a very quick BB-mail with one player from each team that you feel should be in the running for All BB teams, as well as one player from each team that you feel should be in the running for all defensive team.

I know this is a little work to go through each team and send me a BB mail, but I think the end product will be worth it. :D.

Thanks guys!
