Personality Power Rankings

It's no secret one of my favorite parts about PCTI is when everyone sees each other for the first time... Each year I slap up a post that no one cares about (like most of my others), ranking who I'm most looking forward to seeing... One day I'll go back and look at my past to get a weighted average, which my guess would have Abe at #1.

Going from least excited to most...

17 & 16: Juice and Smooth: As three members of an Epicurean community, we can't get away from each other... Despite multiple on-court verbal altercations each week, the three of us get along pretty well... That said, no reason to be excited to see them.

15: Smo Orr: Been trying to get out of the Smo Orr business for a while now, but that has driven him to extend his year to year contract with PCTI despite his continued disdain for the game of basketball.  He's also relatively local, which makes him even less appealing.  The love he gets from everyone else in this thing makes me sick.

14: Jeff Sabin: Although my basketball brother, Sabin is unbearable as a captain and automatically drops on the list due to that... The fact that he's in Dallas and I see him enough doesn't help.

13: brent carney: Working on getting out of this system as well... You want to feel good about yourself? Take 21 years of verbal poundings from him and Orr.

12: Busy Donley: Absence has made the heart grow fonder (slightly) but my rivalry with the word busy, on top of his busy schedule makes it only go so far. 

11: TP: Very few topics I enjoy more than talking about the body recovering, and as of now, he's best in class. 

10: Beastley: Spent a lot of time with him already this year, plus I'm out on "popular" guys.

9: The Actor: Ever since I moved part time to Santa Monica, I've increased my time with Act... Which is good because he's very particular about who he spends time with at PCTI, and I'm not one of them... The last eight times I've been out with him he's been spotted making out at the bar, and I'll be interested to see if he can handle the spotlight now that that statistic is public knowledge.

8: Spotlight: See Beastley (popular) comment, but makes up for it due to my lifelong love for his response when telling me he was moving to London but it didn't effect his PCTI future.... As much as I love to be a hater, few people genuinely care about how you're doing more than Spot, and I appreciate that.

7: The Beast: I've been on a behind the scenes campaign to get this guy onto a PCTI contract for over three years... It's pathetic how excited I am to go to battle alongside him.

6: Hops: Sharing a bottle of red at team dinner has become one of my favorite moments of the weekend... The mutual PCTI obsession helps.

5: Sticky: Should never be this low but since I've transitioned into focusing on hoops and not the logistics of the weekend, not having the itinerary on lock for Sticky has caused us to be at frequent odds... That said, is there anyone more fun to have a drink and break down film with?

4: Ben: PCTI 1-6 would be in the top 2... But sick boy in Cincy then dehydrated boy in San Diego has me salivating for the Ben that more or less kept PCTI together during it's depleted years.  I need him back.

3: Abe: I love this guy... I don't know how else to say it.  He does or says one thing every year that I gush over. 

2: Deuce: I don't like popular, but this guy defines it... He carries the hat of PCTI's most beloved, glue guy, camera man, and friend.  As Sabin said last year, he is the most important guy in this and if he goes, so does the weekend.

1: I totally screwed up the numbers forgetting about myself, and am too lazy to re-number.
