News and Note Units

I don't think anyone would question the fact that this has been the most tumultuous off-season in the history of PCTI.  Between the low amount of chatter, to the challenge of finding a date because A. Hop couldn't miss a day of school, to season ending injuries, to a new job that will dilute our earnings per share to a record low... It's been a rough one.

But it really hasn't and here is why.  On the heels of the biggest honor of my life (best teammate in PCTI), I have a new outlook on the situation.  As likable as they are, all Sabin and Donley do are take shots away from the hard working, team first guys like myself, Smo, Pretty Boy BRUISE, Spot, McKinney, and Hops that want the opportunity to stuff stats, but have never been able to because the team comes first.  With any loss comes opportunity.  I expect this to be mine.

With increased responsibilities in everyone's career there becomes less free time.  Although that has hampered my day to day focus on PCTI, it has actually enhanced my excitement for the weekend.  The opportunity to get together with people I hate less than everyone else, and play the sport I love will always be the highlight of my year...

Anyway, a few things I'm looking/not looking forward to:

  • Not being able to see Sabin on day 3 look like he just got run over by one of Smo's Robert Tractor Trailers.
  • A Spotcut... Still gives me the tingles despite being completely overplayed.
  • Joe only hanging with McKinney because he's the only one that will laugh at (or understand) his jokes.
  • Wes referring to all cases moved out of a Macy's distribution center as "his cases." Got to appreciate job ownership.
  • Someone other than me recognizing that Abe's game has evolved from one handed bounce passes no one can catch to one of the top distributors in PCTI.
  • A brat out.
  • Smo and Hops.
  • Skillz sleeping through the whole weekend.
  • Everyone kissing the Stickman's ass telling him he's going to be MVP in hopes he plays less hard the rest of the weekend.
  • Ben sulking like a baby when things don't go his way unit.
  • Deuce coming in looking even more physically imposing now that he's Mr. Orr's workout partner.
  • Hanging out with Pitto all weekend, who I secretly enjoy more than 90% of the people in PCTI.
  • McKinney purposely annoying me because he has carved out that ever important niche, and seems to really enjoy it.
  • Pushing the Nature Boy around because I feel like it.
Keep em' coming BRAT!

  1. Spot is guaranteed a missed layup because everyone is gonna start screaming the second he gets the ball after a nice cut. A la every time DTOMFS takes a jumper and everyone starts saying good shot before it leaves his hand.

  2. You can prolly just remove "not looking forward to" from your bullet points, all those things sound awesome.

    Still stings thinking that if only Hops could have missed a day of school that we would have already completed IIIII, my squad would have handed Abe his first loss, and everyone would have attended and competed. Let the Ahop secret sabotage theories begin

  3. You left off spending $500 over the weekend on food alone. That's my favorite thing to do.

  4. You nailed the Brat Out. Probably my favorite moment of the weekend.

  5. McKinney is the only person in PCTI who understands and values comedy.
