Season 7 is flying by. We’ve had some weeks of low turnout, but we’ve also had more newcomers than the last two years combined. Also, three – yeah count em – three ladies have played and made an impact in AFBL season 7.
Once again there are trials and successes, and lots of missed layups. Despite [...]
Like all AFBL seasons past, there are always some bumps in the road. We hit our first in week 2 of season 7. There was some non-communication from the parks & rec and we were temporarily booted from our hallowed indoor court. Damn do-gooders! But, the troops soldiered on, and play commenced quickly on the [...]
Week 1 was a quiet success. 12 players came and played. New Shawn (at least that’s what I’m calling him that until I get his last name) was the first of the 07-08 rookie class to hit the linoleum. Rawle Anders came back out for some action and was looking good. Four official games were [...]
That’s it. That’s been it. Close to two weeks ago we lopped the head off another season of AFBL. And fittingly we closed the season with John Freeborns continued presidential ineptitude.
Perhaps you received the email from El Pressodinty promising one more time. One last whirl on the AFBL tilt-a-wheel. I [...]
As you’ve no doubt heard by now, its over. Who do you prefer I quote here? The Doors, This is the end, my only friend the end or Morrissey, I know its over still I cling, I don’t know what else I can do, oh no over over over over oooovvver. I prefer Morrissey. And [...]
All we needed was a small flame beneath the collective toochis of the AFBL to return the league to it’s prodigious numbers. 12 players in total filled the gym for what will be remembered as a awful display of basketballing. The AFBL has always been turnover prone but this weekend was truly epic. There was [...]
When Jay-Z retired he left the draw bridge to rap’s castle down. Many rappers attempted to storm in and seek the crown. None really found the crown. The crown for the King of Hip Hop is closer to the holy grail than anything else. It’s an impossible dream, one that may [...]
Imagine a whistling sound emanating from my lips after I remark in reverentially awestruck tones, “Week 15.” Yes, the time flies. If it were football we’d be preparing for the playoffs. Well, some of us, okay, just me. But as it is, we’re coming down off the high of the AFBall Star game from last [...]
If an AFBL falls in the woods, does it make any sound? What is the sound of one AFBL clapping? These are the types of philosophical questions that spring forth after weekends like the last.
We only had enough for 3 on 3. 7 people showed up all totaled. It was still fun, but those situations [...]
The president returned this weekend, insisting that we keep score with 2’s and 3’s as opposed to 1’s and 2’s.
He didn’t announce this rule until his coach announced Freeborn would attempt to guard myself. Freeborn knew he stood no chance of guarding a real life rifleman. If I chose it, I could play [...]
