New Squadrons for IIIII. NO MORE BACKING OUT

To say the past couple weeks or so have been rocky (see what I did there employing our destination?) for all of us here in PCTI would be an understatement.  Injuries and defections have robbed us of 25% of our usual playing partners, which sucks to all high heaven.  The injuries are tough to swallow, and I guess congrats are in order for Brian on his new gig, but couldn't have picked a worse time to make the jump...although Brian seems to be teasing retirement with each passing PCTI, so maybe this is his way of expediting the process and pushing us to excommunicate him instead of him having to come out and actually retire so his bad boy persona doesn't get damaged.  I'm not buying any of Pitto's claims outside of Brian isn't there so he didn't want to come, and that pissed me off (like that weekend is your one chance to ever see your niece).  But whatevs, you don't want to be there you don't want to be there...and not being a member of the BORED, I'm just talking out my ass here but this development probably won't go unnoticed for future years.  I know I don't speak for just myself when I say that the non-injured nonparticipants' reasons for not coming are a much tougher pill to swallow than our injured participants.  I suppose we'll see how it all plays out after IIIII is complete.  I'm mainly just pissed knowing that I'll never see that $40 Pitto owes me for getting my wedge stolen, I could reeeeeeally use that $$$ right about now because I'm the poorest.  END RANT.

But what's done is done, so allow me to introduce you to your final teams for IIIII.  This whole process has just been comical really, but like my main man Kevin Rudolf once said, "I We made it!"  Joshua and I put our nose to the grindstone on Friday and picked our team during a grueling 2 minutes of back and forth, using the other more important 11 minutes of the phone call to talk about things such as time/space exploration and what guard number we both use to trim our ballsacks.  Having only 10 candidates to choose from and missing 4 of the top 9 ranked guys (with another of those potentially hobbled), the decision was made to just go back and forth between selections rather than snake it like we normally do.  I'll go round by round so that Smo and Wes can feel worse about themselves some more.  Without further Freddy Adu:

Round 1, FIGHT:
BenWilson selects Big Brent Carney
JoshStephenson selects Dr. Joe Thompson
Analysis:  A bit of a surprise at the top, but it seems the idea of playing with BBC for the first time was too much for BenWilson to pass up (that's quite the [big] pun, I don't pass you idiots!).  JoshStephenson's decision to pass on his QP brethren to select the Actor will hopefully bring about the spectacular demise of PCTI's most hated group of people, unless he believes he will be able to procure the remaining members with his next picks.

Round 2, FIGHT:
BenWilson selects Nature Boy Beas
JoshStephenson selects Ian Van Horne
Analysis:  JoshStephenson's plan is all for naught as BenWilson scoops up Mikey.  Hopefully the Nature Boy has been cutting back his 1080's to just 360's in an effort to stay healthy heading into IIIII.  JoshStephenson responds with the Stickman, hoping that the rage boiling inside of him at Pitto's betrayal of PCTI will unleash a performance from the Bruiser the likes of which we have never seen.  I personally am hoping for the opposite.

Round 3, FIGHT:
BenWilson selects DTOMFS
JoshStephenson curses and selects Sir Anthony Hopkins
Analysis:  BenWilson's selection of DTOMFS garnered a "fuck!" from JoshStephenson, presumably because he wanted to snatch him up in this round too.  I'll admit I was a bit shocked, as I panicked and reached for DTOMFS here, but maybe I'm onto something if it bristled JoshStephenson that badly.  Still reeling from the blow delivered by BenWilson, JoshStephenson attempted to quell the chaos by going the comfort route and selecting his pacifier and longest tenured friend in PCTI, Ahop.  No surprises here, and judging by the talent in Round 4, it seems we both REACHED here.  Oh well!

Round 4, FIGHT:
BenWilson selects Spotlight
JoshStephenson selects Crossfit Tempest
Analysis:  As noted before, the round 4 selections probably should have gone a round earlier, but that's neither here nor there nor here.  BenWilson's selection of the most handsome individual in PCTI in his opinion gives him an experienced cutter and intensely hyped rebounder, while also further splintering JoshStephenson's plan to unite the QP.  Crossfit Tempest will provide his team with ample energy/soft noises and a mirage of contributing more to games than he really does.  Do not sleep on this guy...he's primed to be this year's breakout player in Danver.  Could be best value in draft when all said and done.

Round 5, FIGHT:
BenWilson "selects" Milky Mike Orr
JoshStephenson hangs up
Analysis:  BenWilson decides to round out his team with Smo in round 5 after hearing from Dallas sources that his game and general pickup game attendance are at an all-time low.  But I'll be goddamned if he's not gonna look like a fuckin' BAWSE out there in his new uni.  We were also once best friends so this will be the first meeting since the split.  Really looking forward to licking those teeth!  Someone print this paragraph out and carrier pigeon it to Wes so he knows what team he is on, thanks in advance.



In conclusion:
TEAM BENWILSON:
BenWilson
BC
Beas
DK
Spot
Smo

TEAM JOSHSTEPHENSON:
JoshStephenson
Joe
Bruise
Ahop
Bmac
Wes

See you guise in Danver!  Can't wait!
