If you can't beat 'em, disqualify 'em

Post by CBM »

After loosing his first game, the indisputable leader of all things CBL is considering disqualifying the other team for that game. Sounds totally reasonable. :rolleyes:

Seriously... This is fantastic entertainment! Player passes out on game...Asst. Coach fined... Player pushing up on coaches girlfriends...CBL fines his own coach. This is great stuff.

Wait, wasn't this an exhibition game? What exactly are they worrying about the win- loss column for? Sore loser syndrome?

LOL...I got an extra large bucket if popcorn. What a show!

Not to be the grammar police, but can someone teach whoever wrote that release about how to use paragraphs?

When it's all said and done, isn't it really the ref's fault? The team making the switch notified the ref at halftime. It should be the ref's job to know the rules and tell them that it was illegal or (SINCE IT WAS A PRE-SEASON EXHIBITION GAME) communicate the request to make an exception to the opposing team?

In spring training baseball, players sometimes walk over from the practice fields and come right into a game. And in some camps, when the minor leaguers are there, there might be 3 or 4 players with the same number. Ever watched the first game of the NFL pre-season? Same thing...

Somehow, those Commissioners manage to control the need to make a public statement about the integrity of a pre-season game.
