Rooters Franchise Sold To Best-Selling Author

Brighton, MA – 

“I never throw a player to the wolves until I am certain that he is one of the wolves.”

                -Coach Bill Parcells

The commissioner’s office is pleased to announce the sale of the Royal Rooters franchise to Mike Lewis for the fee of 2 hockey pucks and a case of Budweiser.  Mr. Lewis has been preparing for this opportunity his entire life and is poised to take the bull by the horns and bring pride back to the once mighty Rooters franchise.   

The new team name has yet to be determined, but ownership is ready to make its mark on the league immediately.  Lewis has been added to the league contact list.  Please join me in welcoming him to our little Cuckoo's Nest.

• He is a card carrying member of both "Sal's Pals" and "Grady's Ladies."

GUILTY!

Braun in another one of his steroid-induced psychotic episodes.

Ryan Braun has been banned for 50 games for testing positive for PED's.  Many state that he should be stripped of his NL MVP and the BBWAA should re-vote to crown a new MVP.  This is a huge blow to the Milwaukee Brewers and less importantly, to the Metalheads.  Does this news taint the Metalheads championship?  Should the title be stripped from owner Joey Vignault for employing a cheating juice head?  Perhaps an asterisk would be more appropriate?  Should owner Vignault be kicked out of the league for his cheating ways?  Or maybe a suspension (ie lock his team) for the duration of the Braun suspension would be a fair penalty?  Please offer your comments below.
