Absent-Minded Professors

[Minor League Man]

That's the new term I'm using for ABA owners who run their teams very professionally, yet for some reason are content with the ABA.

Owners I think would fit into that category include:

Alex Wolff (Vermont Frost Heaves)-the epitome
Darren Cioffi (Strong Island Sound)-is he Strong Island Sound on the boards?
John Dominguez (Bellingham Slam)-this could change if the Slam join the PBL as rumored
Andre Levingston (Halifax Rainmen)
Vincent Bernier (Quebec Kebekwa)-this too could change if they join the PBL as rumored
Cynthia Hawkins (Rochester Fire)
Art Gonzalez (RGV Silverados)-sometimes I think the Silverados are the D-League team and the Vipers are the ABA team...

Can anybody add anything to the list?

Alex is too smart, too ethical for the ABA. It must be about a book he is writing.

Mr. Long Giland is on Joe's payroll.

I can't imagine that the Canadian team stay in the ABA. They can read and that Halifax reporter did a good job exposing the scam.

Rochester is new.

I know the woman in Baltimore has no idea what she has bought into to.

All have good intentions. Joe knows how to work people. He's no dummy.

What does he do with all that money??? Hmmmm.

The SI guy is Joe Pietaro Media Director for the Sound.



However Mr. Pietaro and Mr. Wolff must be bad guys because A1 says so.:rolleyes:

Joe and Darren share the same Screen Name

[tbayz1]

The Jacksonville Jam seem like a pretty stable and well-run franchise, so maybe their ownership should be included in this group

[Strong Island Sound]

Actually, Darren has a different screen name than I do. Similar, but we do not share the same one.

Very similar, and you two have the same writing style as well. Man, that really bleeps me up when reading the boards.

[TheStandard]

yes it makes me go nuts. But now I know Joe and Darren similar SN's just two Strong Island Boys
