Commentary: NIFL daily buzz

Yes I am tired, but not of the NIFL this time. Two hours sleep, a quick round trip to Seattle and everybody wants me to write??? Give me a break.

It's all over

What would everyone want me to write about? Seriously 4 teams I think have folded, another 5 or 6 on life support. They're dropping like flies. It's all over folks, there will be no more fires. All that's left is the final curtain to fall on the NIFL and I personally think it's about half way down.

Mistaken identity

While in Seattle I steeped on a cockroach. It was quite by accident I swear, but I quickly removed my foot to see if it was anybody I recognized. Much to my displeasure, it wasn't. See how hard up I am for anything to write about?

New league

I'm starting a new league. Don't think it'll be that hard, just do everything the exact opposite of the NIFL and it'll be the perfect league. I am short of funds, so anybody wishing to contribute can email me at indoorbowl@yahoo.com. Careful here, I may not be kidding and really fishing for investors or trying to make a quick buck. Worked for two years in the NIFL for HP and for six years for, oh never mind, I don't need a lawsuit against me, the NIFL attorneys are busy enough making their fortune.

The blame

I did go back over everything and I know things were bad all along, but they got worse when the Fever joined. The teams broke off when they joined, actually using the Tri-Cities team as part of the excuse. Then the Fever destroyed the hopes of Odessa for a perfect season so they ran back to the IFL with their buddies, then this year, well just look at the mess. Only conclusion I can make is it's the Fever, it's been caught by almost every team now and obviously terminal. Can cockroaches catch a fever?

Serious question

Does anybody know exactly how many lawsuits are floating around with the NIFL in the content? I hear CS has several and some leagues are filing a few of their own.

OK

Just having some fun, but I really don't have much. I'll try to do better the next time.
