The One With Trent's Kiddy Love

Riverside, CA (Reuters) - Word on the street is, Matthew Reyes, owner of DreamTeamPartDeux, missed another game of the week. For those of you who do not know, Matthew Reyes, in his second season of an Itstheleague.com franchise ownership, writes Itstheleague.com's Game of the Week segment (GOTW). While Matt may brag about his three week streak, he is clearly covering the wrong games.

Earlier this season Matt decided to write about a matchup between Michael Boyd and Daniel Thomson. Based on where these teams are now, the winner of that matchup was a no brainer. By covering that, Matt passed up the now historic, no wait, legendary walkoff that occurred between Trent Bridges and Matthew Reyes. In the same spirit of missing another game, Matt decided to write about the matchup between himself and his brother instead of the WCS alumni game. But alas, I will have to pick up the slack, yet again, and do Matt's job for him.

On Saturday, six Itstheleague.com members gathered at the Charles O. White Pavilion to play the WCS Varsity Basketball team Note: I need not indicate that it is boys basketball as this is what happens when women play basketball:



For those of you curious as to where I stand regarding admitting females into the Itstheleague.com fold, I stand with a fellow Itstheleague.com member, who will remain anonymous, who stated, "We will allow female members when Augusta (pictured) allows female members."

For those who may be unawares, Augusta is home to the Masters golf tournament. Famous members include Bill Gates, Microsoft Founder, Warren Buffet, successful investor, and Jeffrey Boyd, lifetime student. There was a big bruhaha regarding the lack of a female name on the 300 member list. Because of this, the 2003 and 2004 Masters Tournaments were both broadcast without commercials as the sponsors were bullied into pulling their advertising for the tournament. Interestingly enough, NOW (National Organization for Women (with the militant portion of the organization headed by Frau from Austin Powers)) declined to go after similar clubs where Golf touranments in England and Scotland that similarly fail to allow female members.

But forward to the game! Itstheleague.com members in attendance were Brandon Burns of CBUburns, Michael Boyd of No Luck Boyd, Kevin Reyes of Kevdog's Ballers, Matthew Reyes of DreamTeamPartDeux, and social member Steven Boyd owner of baseball's BullDawgs.

Without a coach, the team's organizational structure resembled that of the disheveled misfits from Lord of the Flies. The strategy? 30-40 second shifts similar to hockey will keep the team with fresh legs.

The team started off man-to-man at first. If I were the coach, I would have had them run zone all day long. Man-to-man wore them down quickly. Not two minutes into the game, Michael Boyd came out. Looking more like a stuffed turkey from two days prior then the basketball stud he once was, Michael will need to shape up. It's clear those treks to the gym are not to use the cardio machines.

On the other hand, Kevin Reyes looked like a stud. 19 points with 5 threes. I bet Kevin wishes those stats counted for last week's totals. But even with those, Matt still works him over 6-3. Kevin played point guard bringing the ball up the court most of the time. Unfortunately, Kevin never really tried to set up the offense. Perhaps that was because there wasn't much of one.

Social member, Steven Boyd, played fairly decent. Took a few threes, but just couldn't get one to fall. Kind of like his playoff performance in baseball. Set himself up nicely, just couldn't get the stats to fall into place.

Brandon Burns looked pretty decent. Played pretty good defense and did a decent job of getting under the opponent's skin. This dialogue was heard through the courtside microphones after Burns hugged an opposing player after the guy pulled down a rebound:

Player: Quit raping me!
Kevin: He's 5'6". It's a good strategy. He's not going to hurt you.

Yep. Burns won't be hurting anyone on or off the court (at least in tenth place he won't). Don't worry Burns, if rape charges are filed against you, I'm sure there are people in this league (Matt and Trent Knapp) who could introduce you to a good attorney or two.

Matt Reyes played well, but was clearly showing his age. While 23 was a good number for his hero, Michael Jordan, it certainly isn't for this youngster. Let's put it this way, if this were golf, Matt would be a member of the legends tour. No offense to him or anyone else on the alumni team, as they just don't have the time or willpower to stay in shape the way their opponents did. All around it was a decent effort though. Laird Musich was the hero of the day. The offense quickly became get the ball to Laird who would then drive the basket and put up a layup or hook shot. Laird is played with much more confidence then when I remember.

So, all around good effort. And believe me, despite my harsh words, I am far from doing better myself (there's a reason why I kept stats and didn't play basketball). It's actually quite interesting. I hadn't thought of that. If I do really well this fantasy season, I will attribute my success to that.

Okay. So I covered what I set out to cover. But is that it? Do I rest there? No. There's a higher calling here at the Boyd's Beat. We set out not only to report the rumors, we set out to make them. We're the stuff the supermarket tabloids wish they could be. This is why our motto here at Boyd's Beat is "Humiliating Itstheleague.com owners since 2006."

So why are you still reading? Well, word on the street is Trent Knapp is beginning a career as a male model. At the poker outing on Wednesday night it was learned that the owner of The Big Knasty shaves his legs. As Trent is not a swimmer, the only explanation for this is either gay or male model. So, let's take a look at some of his work. If you have small children, this may not be suitable for them (so Trent keep that 14 year old girl that you used to date away from the computer screen).

Okay, all of the pictures you are about to see are completely unlatered. That means I did not photoshop them in any way. Trent did this all to himself. And if you don't believe me, you can see them by going to Trent's Photobucket.

BLAST! Trent has knowledge of my plan and has decided to password protect his page. I tried hacking the password and "iluv14yearoldgirls" didn't work.

But alas, I will do my best to compile this. Ahhhh, here we go. Here is Trent's first piece of work:

I have no idea what Trent is modeling. Perhaps it's completely homosexual pictures with your sister? I'm not sure if that fur on Trent's right shoulder is the jacket or part of whatever jacket the sister is wearing.

I know what you're thinking. Is the guy in this picture same as the guy in this picture?
Well, it is. Yes that's a peace sign. No, I won't tell you what his other hand is holding. So, how did this guy go from zero to (gay) hero? Fasten your seatbelts as we go back in time and learn all about Mr. Knapp. And Itstheleague.com owners, take heart. I am about to delve in an intense psychological evaluation pieced together from dozens of late night interviews with the now infamous male model. You will learn where he got his start, how he beat the charges that he was dating a fourteen year old, and whether or not he is a threat this basketball season.

The answers to those questions are as follows:

He got his start here (he's the one with the blond hair on the top left). When asked earlier, Trent said that, even now, the two girls in the front row are to old for him.


He beat the charges by claiming he was gay (the picture below was submitted as evidence):


Note: statue photoshopped over another man (again, FCC rules require that I can't post anything that might offend kids. And because Trent is in this league and likes to date them young, we have to abide by the rules).

And his team is not a threat as his team is located here.


I know what you are thinking. Trent can't possibly like little kids. Well, if that were true, why would he hang out here?

Yes. That's a playground. Filled with little kids. So what's his MO? Well, he hands little cards to the kids he likes that say this:


The only problem with this plan? 9 times out of 10 the kids aren't old enough to read.

That's it for now. Remember to take care of yourselves, and each other.

The One Where Boyd Blows

Riverside, CA (AP) - Itstheleague.com had a flurry of activity yesterday with a poker outing at the Reyes Residence. With nine twelfths of the league in attendance, the only order for the day was to discuss the recent success the league has received. With attendance at games at an all time high, league owners had quite a bit to be thankful for in light of the upcoming holiday. Michael Boyd spent much of the night bitching (surprise surprise), but the most common gripe the owners expressed was a lack of basketball games on Thanksgiving.

Matthew Reyes the only owner in favor of the no games on Thanksgiving day policy had this to say, "I support the decision by the Itstheleague.com commissioners in not scheduling games on this momentous holiday. Of course a day should be set aside to commemorate this, the twenty-third year of my existence on this earth." Matt abruptly stopped when league commissioner Kevin Reyes coughed and whispered into Matt's ear that there weren't any games because it was Thanksgiving, not his birthday. Sorry Matt. Maybe next year?

Prior to Cody Schumacher, owner of the recently renamed Rattlesnakes team, stole all of our chips at poker, there was a 9 hole golf outing that occurred between Michael Boyd, Jeffrey Boyd, and Cody Schumacher. Michael Boyd is owner of Boyd Blows (I mean...ummm....No Luck Boyd). Jeffrey Boyd is the Lightning Jeffs owner, writer of the award winning Boyd's Beat, and voted favorite Boyd by eight Itstheleague.com members. Cody Schumacher is an Itstheleague.com member and a member of the 2006 WCS Golf Tournament champion (a title he should be stripped of as he played with a club pro).

Before the golf outing though, Michael had to find his golf shoes. Now something we all know about Michael is that he likes to cuss. Something you may not know about Michael is his perpensity to lose things. My mind goes back to trips on the way to school.

Michael mutters something under his breath (which has a 90% chance of being a cuss word). Michael then says (halfway to school mind you) "I've only got one shoe."

Yet another incident that comes to mind involves us leaving from school. As I back out the Suburban, I feel our rear tires go over something. In a parking lot full of kids, my first reaction is crap, I ran over a kid again. But no, we get out, it's Michael's backpack, and I had run over it.

So, on Wednesday as we go to golf, Michael can't find his golf shoes. Surprise surprise. He looks in his car:


Swear word.


He looks in the garage. Swear word.

Twenty minutes later, he finally checks his own closet. Lo and behold, there they are. So my advice to you, if you have lost anything, ever. It is probably in Michael's closet. Let's review a list of my items that I had previously written off as lost that have been found in
Michael's closet:

-my 7 iron
-a red tie
-black socks
-brown belt
-two suits
-1 pair of athletic shorts

Now that Michael had his shoes, we could play.

Look at that gay smile.

Over under on number of swear words used by Michael? It's hard to measure when there's just a continous stream of filth coming from his mouth. Although, Matt dropped a few nice choice ones in his Game of the Week. If we got both of them together on a golf course...wow. There's a book Matt Reyes co-authored with my dad called 1000 Ways to F*** up a Good Drive.

So back to the match, clearly Cody beat Michael and myself. We were quite bored with the actual match. But I did manage to capture a few of the nice shots.

Here we have Michael on the fourth hole. Where is his ball? That's right. In the creek.


So rather than take a drop, Michael decides to hit it. Yes he did get a decent club on it, but really, what was it worth? Because if you ask him, after he got in the creek. He said he hit the wrong ball.



You should watch the whole thing. The end makes it worth it. Here's Michael's next shot. He's on the green on hole five. This shot is for par. Let's see how he does.



UPDATE: FCC rules require restrictions of obscenities being aired in front of kids. As a result, the audio has been deleted from these videos as a precaution.

Also note, the reason why the shoes leave the screen so fast is because Michael began a putter throw immediately afterwards. He then took his golf glove off and threw it in a bunker.

Here's Michael hitting a crappy shot. He's on hole 6, but his tee shot landed on hole 4. Nice work Michael.



That's about it. Cody was there too.



Nice work Cody. Right back atcha buddy.

And I was there as well.

Michael has indicated that he will "kick my ass" on the golf course tomorrow. We'll see if his prediction holds true.

In closing, there was some interesting news reported out of the Poker Room at the Reyes Residence last night. Daniel Thomson (formerly sued for use of the word "Thunder" in affiliation with his name) made a bet with Matt Nichols (formerly feared to be stricken with a disease that prevented him with communicating with anyone inside the league). Under the terms, if Daniel Thomson wins this week, Matt Nichols has to wash his car. If Matt Nichols wins, Daniel Thomson has to decorate Matt Nichols' Christmas tree. It is interesting to note that I am person who came closest to beating Nichols.

With that said, rest assured the results will be reported here as soon as they're in.

The One Where Kevin Goes to Disneyland


Orlando, FL (Reuters) - Itstheleague.com Commissioner Kevin Reyes recently left his cold, isolated community of Amherst, Massachusetts for the sunny palm trees of Orlando Florida. The Kevdog's ballers owner flew to Orlando with aspirations of spending a few days at the happiest place on earth (people playing at the happiest place on earth in picture).

On the flight, Kevin sits down next to a guy wearing a red shirt. "My aren't you a handsome," says the guy who looks like an ad for Gap. Uh-oh, Kevin thinks, my spidey sense is tingling. "Why thank you," Kevin responds politely. The well-dressed guy who also speaks with a lisp mistakes Kevin's politeness for interest. "I'm Shannon," he says. Finally it dawns on Kevin that this guy may be interested in him. Not wanting to get in a conversation with Shannon and explain get in a discussion which will end with Kevin explaining the semi-homosexual origin of his AIM screenname, Kevin chooses to drown out the well dressed Gap model with his ipod. Click click click...ahhh a little Justin Timberlake does the trick.

Unfortunately Shannon overs here's the bass line to "My love" from Kevin's headphones and somehow thinks it's invitation to cuddle. Being the nice guy that he is, Kevin lets Shannon lean on his shoulder all the while forcing Kevin to question every decision he's made so far in this interaction that led to this result.

As Kevin picks up his bag from the luggage carousel, Shannon makes eye contact with him and, with a smile says "see you at the happiest place on earth."
Kevin inquires, "You're going there?"
"Of course silly, tah tah," he said with a wave of his well manicured hand.

Kevin's spider sense is tingling. Something's not quite right. And on the way out, he saw it looking out over all the terminal, surveying its kingdom, summoning its queens. It was a poster that read:

-----The Happiest Place on Earth-----
-presents-
--November 8-12--
-----GAY DAYS at Disneyworld-----

That's right, take a closer look at the image above. Notice anything fishy? All guys in the picture. So yeah. The best part is, Kevin gets on a plane, flies all the way down to Florida not knowing he's going to be spending his whole weekend like this. Poor guy.

But Kevin, being the smart kid he is decides to make the best of it. Kevin's first wish is what any straight guy wishes for in this situation--a girl right by your side. Unfortunately for Kevin, his ran off with Goofy shortly after this photo was taken (circa September).

Kevin quickly thought, what else can I do. Ah-ha! What do gay guys hate worse than beer and loud rock music? A poor fashion sense. I'll go out of my way to dress bad. So on the first day into the park, Kevin sported this outfit. With arms out saying "bring it on" Kevin entered the belly of the Beast.

It was distracting at first. Too much. Obtaining a map upon entering the world of Disney, Kevin definitely decided a few areas to avoid....Pleasure Island? Peter Pan? Haunted Mansion? All areas Kevin was destined to avoid. So how bad could it have possibly been?


You



Tell


Me

But alas, Kevin toughed it out, and he even made some new friends. What a trooper. And Kevin seemed to make it back without any permanent damage. Although, I'm not going to be the one to tell him that his idea for a new league logo might be a little....well...not what we're looking for.

And, if rumors of a mandatory dress code for all Itstheleague.com athletes on game days turn out to be true, we'll know whose idea that was. Best wishes on a speedy recovery Kevin.

The One With the Stolen Outfit

Temecula, CA (AP) - With Matt's walkoff victory only a few hours ago, rumors of a scandal have already surfaced. Inside sources have revealed that Matt Reyes was wearing borrowed clothing.

Inside sources are confirming that during R. Kelly's...I mean Trent Bridges' performance of "Ignition", Matt Reyes stole one of Trent's outfits.

A spokesman from Trent's camp, Dave Chappelle, had this to say about the incident, "I'm Rick James, Bitch." He then went on stating that the outfit was a backup outfit for Trent Bridges' fashion entry.

It will be interesting to see if Matt is able to keep his crown. Itstheleague.com commissioners have been silent all day Monday. With one commissioner away on vacation, it is hard to tell exactly how closely officials were supervising the first official walkoff.

Itstheleague.com officials may not be the only thing DreamTeamPartDeux will have to worry about. The Riverside County Sheriff's Department has already contacted Trent Bridges to see if he wishes to press charges. If Matt Reyes is charged with petty theft, this would not only force the Itstheleague.com officials to examine the situation more closely, but it may also put Matt in trouble with his probation officer (as part of Matt's settlement regarding an earlier poisoning case, Matt agreed to be on probation for six months).

Stick right here as more information will be reported as it is learned.

The One With the Walkoff

Temecula, CA (AP) - In this Boyd's Beat, sightings of T-fed in Riverside, a guest appearance by "Sisqo," and a zoolander walkoff-Itstheleague.com style.

Contrary to Matthew Reyes's (author of GOTW for itstheleague.com) contention, the Game of the Week he posted was not an epic battle (nothing against Michael or Daniel). Why? The real battle occuring this week is between DreamTeamPartDeux and Shoot Da J Bitch. What? You haven't heard. It's a fantasy walk off--Zoolander style!

Yes it is a sin Matthew Reyes did not mention it, but this reporter has inside knowledge that a walkoff happened Saturday night at a warehouse in Temecula (equidistant from both San Diego and Riverside).

What were the logistics of the walk off? Matt and Trent's abilities in several categories were ranked:
  1. Fashion
  2. Dance
  3. Beer Pong
  4. Pimp
  5. Lip sing
The categories were judged by the audience. Not only did many fans of each owners' teams show up, there were several local celebrities present. Dave Chappelle showed up to root Trent on. However I think crowds were more stunned to see MJ show up to support Matt. Judging the competition to make sure no rules were broken was none other than David Bowie. David's prior walk off experience was in a cult hit called Zoolander.

Scoring was entirely based on audience applause (similar to the scoring done in Starsky and Hutch during the dance off there). So without further ado, here's how it went down.

Fashion
Arguably the easiest category of the walkoff pentathon (yes, five category event, pentathon), this allowed each owner to get warmed up before the grueling challenge of the later categories.

The rules for this category were simple, each owner comes out on the catwalk with their best outfit. Sounds simple? Yeah. Well one of the owners still managed to screw it up.

Matt's entry was this:

This was interesting. It was a solid effort on his part, and deciding to bring a girl out with on stage definitely added to the audience response (an idea that Trent definitely learned from and used against Matt in a later dance entry), but in going Top Gun style, Matt definitely did take a risk. Fans in his corner had mixed reactions.

I think the reaction that Matt worried Matt most was the look he saw on Michael Jordan's face (picture below).

Look at that anger. I mean this has to impact a guy who memorizes the voiceovers to Michael Jordan highlight reels. Additionally, Matt has only seen Michael Jordan up close once (and that was in Hawaii). This time he came to actually support Matt in the walkoff. And I'm sure Matt seeing MJ react in this fashion did not sit well with him.

So what did Trent bring to the table? This masterpiece:

Not only does he look fly/tight/sweet, he pulls it off with an amazing pose. Conjuring images of Rodin's Thinker (pictured), the outfit does an excellent job of blending old and new. The pose invites the observer to think back to the classic, the masterpieces that humanity from times of yore have to boast of. The sweater is the great transitional piece that ties the old with new. The sweater, originating as worn here, brings the outfit into modern day. The watch is a nice touch as well.

As you can tell, the crowd responded quite well. Trent's biggest fan? The girl just to the right.

Fashion: Shoot da J Bitch

Dance
Going into this category, I was quite torn as to who was the underdog. I've seen Matt and Trent dance many times with many people (but most often dancing with each other). You won't find any ballroom dancing here. Dancing with the stars may be popular across the country, but on that cold, blistery night in an old warehouse in Temecula, this crowd would definitely not dig it.

Rather than see an outright head to head challenge, Matt threw down some old school, taking it back to the 80's, Matt went with a little 80's remix that looked likea perfect replica of Stilfer's fine work in American Wedding (seen below).



Trent's entry featured a little dancing by him, but more dancing by young scantily clad women. Yes the crowd loved it and yes Trent won this category. However, sadly, several of the women dancing may have been underage. After they removed their clothes for the encore, the Riverside DA's office began to investigate for possible violations of child welfare laws (hmmm...this seems to be a common theme in our league).

Dance: Shoot da J Bitch

Beer Pong
Having first hand knowledge of both Matt and Trent's skills, I knew this would be a very close match. With Trent up 2-0 and Matt now having to keep winning to avoid ending the walkoff early, Trent may have entered this event a bit cocky (and who wouldn't be cocky after winning the dance off by simply walking out and having lots of beautiful women dance around you). Also, author's note: I may be a bit biased in my description of this category as Trent has been a beer pong partner of mine in past matches (which usually result in us dominating).

However, it was not to be. I am not sure if Matt's dominance over Trent was simply luck or partly due to the fact that out of Trent and Matt, only Matt has designed and built a beer pong table from scratch (complete with a triangular key, half court line, hashmarks, and a three point arc (which I think is worthless in beer pong, but it still looks tight)), but Matt went all out. Sinking shots, bouncing one in, Matt easily beat Trent in this category. In fact, when Matt sunk the final cup, Trent still had four cups on the table. The rebuttal lipped out giving Matt his first win in a category for this walkoff.

Matt is seen here in his dressing room shortly after his beer pong victory, clearly relieved to finally put a point up on the board.

Speaking of which, for those of you who were not able to make it out to what was quickly becoming a legendary matchup, you are probably what happened in between categories. Well, the crowd had the privilege of being entertained by these wonderful guys.

I told you this was a legendary night. Here are the two competitors, Matt and Trent hanging out with the Boyz. Mutual friend Ryan Lucio was also present for the walkoff. However, Mr. Lucio was unable to participate due to an illness called I-have-a-girlfrienditis. This is also the reason why Ryan has not been able to leave the house much for male acitivites either. Be careful Knapp, it's contagious, you may be the next to catch it. Although I don't think it can be caught from underage girls.

Beer Pong: DreamTeamPartDeux

Pimp
Walkoff aficionados often debate over whether pimp is a sub-category of fashion, or if it is something separate altogether. Regardless of whether you would call it a pure walk off Zoolander style, or a cross between fashion and a walk off, both entries were quite on.

Matt won. I had a picture somewhere but I lost it. It's sad too because it's a good one. Matt came out completely pimped out (with comically large floppy hat and a tight pimp cane--something I've always wanted but have never had).

Pimp: DreamTeamPartDeux

Lip singing

This was a difficult category. Both Matt and Trent entered the competition with a ridiculous amount of experience in this field (I know because I filmed the videos). Whether it was a little N'sync or a little K-Ci and Jojo "All my life," both of these candidates came in as grizzled veterans in what ended up being the deciding category in this walkoff.

With the score tied 2-2 it all came down to this. This one category decided essentially the entire walkoff. Not only did would the winner go home with the hottest chick there (who was actually the nude protester that Matt saw on draft day) but, the winner goes home with bragging rights until the next Itstheleague.com walkoff is held.

With alot on the line, the tension was high on both sides. And I am sure Matt, more than once, was kicking himself for not being able to sing a few karaoke songs the previous weekend while he was in LA.

For those of you out of the loop (or living under a rock), Matt was charged with poisoning Itstheleague.com owner Jeffrey Boyd. As part of the settlement reached, Matt has to perform two karaoke songs at some point in the future.

But back to the walkoff, Trent pulled off a truly inspring R Kelly "Ignition" which was spot on. How inspring was it? After it was done, I felt like finding the closest underage girl and peeing on her. The dancing was incredible, the lip singing was amazing. It only goes to show that if Trent had any ability to sing (which we will find out soon enough if he ever comes out to karaoke), he will be America's next Kelly Clarkson.

The audience went crazy at the end of Trent's performance. Dave Chappelle threw his hands up thinking his man had done it.

But then it was Matt's turn. What I saw was quite frankly the most glorious sight these eyes had the pleasure of seeing (well, second to seeing Pamela Anderson). Rather than bore you with the boring description, I have decided simply to post the video for all to see. Without further ado, this is DreamTeamPartDeux owner, Matthew Reyes, performing Sisqo's Thong Song:



Trent, I'm sorry. But any time a guy will make his hair shiny silver, he'll get my vote anyday. The fans seem to agreed and decided to award Matt with their applause (and love later backstage). And yes, that really is Matt Reyes.

Lip singing: DreamTeamPartDeux


Final Score: DreamTeamPartDeux 3 Shoot da J Bitch 2


Trent, don't be hard on yourself. It was close. You hung in there till the last second. You had a wonderful outing for your walkoff. You know where your weaknesses are and where you need to improve. Just know, that as Matt poses for his victory, that rainbow also symbolizes hope for you that next time, you'll come out on top. Let's also hope that this is the only picture of Matt that ever surfaces of him with a rainbow in it. I'm serious Matt. How many times have you been to San Francisco in your life? I can count on one hand the number of times I've been. Moral of the story? No more rainbows. But congrats on winning the first ever Itstheleague.com walkoff.

T-Fed Spotted in Riverside
Rumors have it that T-fed was spotted in Riverside. With his debut abum sales failing to break him into the top 100 on the Billboard Charts, it seems that T-fed has taken up a job giving tours of UCR to prospective students. What is interesting about this is that it strengthens the case even moreso for my theory that Daniel Thomson and Kevin Federline are the same person. Obviously the travel time between LA and Riverside is taking its toll on these guys. So to save time, why not get a job closer to his alter ego? I think it is interesting. Furthermore, three people on "Daniel's" tour pointed out that he lookied just like Kevin Federline.

It seems to me we've caught our culprit. Daniel is also getting really touchy when pressed with the subject. Exhibit A, this conversation from earlier this week:
[23:38] thdrdan5: ok stop
[23:38] UCSDJib: the one she had the heart around
[23:38] thdrdan5: just
[23:38] thdrdan5: stop
[23:38] thdrdan5: jeff
[23:38] thdrdan5: NO MORE
[23:38] UCSDJib: hahahahahahahaha
[23:38] UCSDJib: fair enough
[23:38] thdrdan5: I WILL TEAR YOUR MOTHERF
[23:38] UCSDJib: lol
[23:39] thdrdan5: *****ING HEAD OFF YOUR MOTHERF****ING BODY
[23:39] thdrdan5: if you continue
[23:39] thdrdan5: ahem
[23:39] thdrdan5: excuse me
[23:39] thdrdan5: that was uncalled for
[23:39] UCSDJib: wow
[23:39] UCSDJib: do you want to step outside and grab a quick breath of fresh air?
[23:39] UCSDJib: totally understand if you do
[23:39] thdrdan5: its an emotional time for me
[23:39] UCSDJib: glass of water
[23:39] UCSDJib: ?
[23:39] UCSDJib: i understand
[23:39] thdrdan5: shot of whiskey
[23:39] UCSDJib: LOL
[23:39] UCSDJib: gun with a bullet in it?
[23:40] thdrdan5: and a silencer preferably
Clearly it has been a long week for D-Fed. Lets hope he gets some rest and the help that he needs (and I don't mean that gun I offered him).

The One Where Daniel's Secret Identity is Revealed

Malibu, CA (Reuters) - The first week of Itstheleague.com is now in the books, and this has left some team owners stunned. Who was left out in the cold this week and why? The Boyd Effect, BAMF's Team, CBUburns, The Big Knasty and the The Champ is Here all sit back scratching their heads with what went wrong wile the Tarkatan Warriors and the Lighting Jeffs still struggle to come to grips with the fact that they just kissed their sisters. Haha...that means Matt Nichols kissed Michael Boyd. And...I may be hauled away to jail for kissing Matt's little sister. Let's hope there are no new stories from the District Attorney's office in the near future.

So why are these people losers? What didn't they have? First off this week was a shortened week. This means the normal amount of games that teams play is different. So, don't panic! Second of all, people are still getting into back into shape. How do I know this? Take Gilbert Arenas, for example, who went for forty-four points after a seven point outing in his first game. Clearly it will take a while for players to get back into gear.

The Boyd Effect has its eyes wide open now in an 8-1 match that felt like a prostate check (and let's just say the doctor had big fingers). The Boyd Effect owner (formerly San Diego Dynasty (formerly Victorious Secret)) first change after the loss was the change of his name. Fans are waiting to see just what type of face lift Michael Boyd has for his team. Will the surgeon use a little Botox to take those ugly turnovers away? How about a little collagen in the 3PT or Rebound category. Fantasy expert (note term "expert used loosely) Matt Reyes preaches form the school of thought that owners should possess a certain degree of player loyalty. That said, Matt's wishes would probably be to not rush to the operating room yet. However, rumors have that Michael Boyd already has the scalpel in his hand and the team on the operating table. Talk amongst the San Diego arena (which is shared with the DreamTeamPartDeux) is that the team is about to undergo some changes as evidenced by the meetings between Michael Boyd and Brandon Burns, team owner of CBUburns, witnessed by key team personnel. If these rumors are true, that Allen Iverson is on the table, the makeover Michael has planned for the team will be anything but cosmetic. Let's hope Michael's sake that he's a better doctor than his brother Dr. Feelgood is (note picture of Dr. Feelgood at top of page on right...or on Jeff's myspace).

BAMF's Team was a bit closer than The Boyd Effect to drinking from the sweet chalice of victory. Give free throw percentage a little bump and throw in two extra assists, and this match becomes a much more respectable 5-4. Unfortunately, that did not happen. And this reporter predicts, it won't happen next week or the week after. Why? Three syllables--In-volve-ment. After looking at what took place Monday night with the lineup, one begins to wonder how involved is this team owner? Always controversial and never quiet owner Mark Cuban, who owns a small team called the Dallas Mavericks in an Itstheleague.com development league, has fans rounding around him because he is involved with the team. He gets fans excited because he cares about the team. When a coach fails to set the team lineup and leaves so much potential, so many stats on the bench, a team owner has to take action. But what action Alfredo Ramos takes is yet to be seen. Monday night the coach left Chauncey Billups, Jason Richardson, and Ben Wallace on the bench. Alfredo, why make it any tougher on your team? Serious stats (2 3s, 38 points, 19 rebounds, 10 assists, 6 steals, and five blocks). Did you really want to save seven TO's? If BAMF's Team loses any of these categories by these margins, the coach should be sacked. Step up Alfredo. Even if he threatens to go Bobbby Knight on you, sack him. And besides, your relationship cannot be any worse than Don Nelson and Mark Cuban.



The Big Knasty's 6-3 loss looks alot better on paper. Trent had a strong team and Mr. Knapp should be proud of his first effort out of the gate. As already mentioned, this was a shortened week and the 2 DNP's by your first round draft pick did not help. The advice of esteemed philosopher (note term "esteemed" used loosely) Matthew S. Reyes would be applicable here: sit tight. It is like you are the Lakers. Even two games down without your main man, you still found a way to make your opponent work for the W. Once Kobe hits his rhythm, The Big Knasty will be sitting quite nicely.

Fortunately for Trent, he may have lots of time to sit tight and be patient. As was already reported, the District Attorney's investigation continues into allegations that Trent Knapp robbed the cradle at a little too old of an age. As a fantasy owner and fan of Itstheleague.com baseketball I always like to see owners get involved, but Trent, you take it the next level by being the only owner to have a mug shot like his player. Pictured here are Kobe Bryant and Trent Knapp posing for the Jailhouse photo spread. (Note apparently the LA Jail is not as plush as the Riverside jail. I don't think fans will appreciate the lush celebrity treatment Knappster is getting for jail).



And another thing, if Trent has any desires to see the light of day over the next few years, and doesn't want to be a sexual predator in a jail (ask Matt Reyes what happens in pound me in the ass penile colony), then he should ditch his nickname. Why? If I'm a prosecutor here's my opening line, "What were the defendant's intentions with the fourteen year old victim? He wanted to kidKNAPP her." Your PR guy's first move should be to change the last name. Second reason for the name change, the Napster case went all the way to the Supreme Court and lost. Shows what happens when you have a cool name and alot of teenagers on your side. So if you end up at the Supreme Court with Knappster and lots of teenagers to support your innocence? Guess what...it doesn't take an Einstein to figure out that 14 plus 18 equals guilty.

Investigators for ESPN have also uncovered the disturbing photo below. It is unknown at this point what exactly Mr. Knapp is doing. Experts guess that he is either showing off for the camera or practicing his wicked, sick, perverted ways. All that is known for sure, it doesn't take a lawyer to guess how this will play out in front of a jury. PR guy's second move--stop you from doing stuff like this.



The Champ is Here is...well...isn't. He tripped out of the gate the first week and things just keep getting worse for him. It was a solid 5-4 win for Rojas. And news on Monday is that Brad Miller, starting center for the team, will be out four weeks with a foot injury. Doctors say it is a torn plantar fascia. Just where is that? Luckily this column is written by a JD (and yes, the D does stand for Doctor).



Yes, looks like the Plantar fascia is the Achille's heel of this championship team. With two other centers on the team, it will be interesting to see if they are able to step and get things done under the board to save the big shoes that Miller leaves behind.

Tarkatan Warriors and Lightning Jeffs tie. If only the rookie basketball team owner had placed Jason Williams on the IL instead of Andrew Bogut. But fantasy basketball is not played with what ifs. That's what everyone else is left to talk about during the playoffs as they watch the victors play in the non-consolation bracket. Jeffrey Boyd clearly made a dumb move. True Bogut was predicted to be out for three to five weeks, but why not place the guy slated to be out until December onto the IL? Again. No what ifs. As long as Boyd has learned his lesson, the Lightning Jeffs will continue to see another week. Unfortunately for Jeff, it is unlikely his team will walked away with as little damage as they did this week.

UCLA Medical doctors were surprised earlier last week when team owner Matthew Nichols wakened from his coma to apparently taunt his current fantasy basketball opponent. Either that or he wondered why he wasn't at his bedside reading to him. In all honesty the same question for BAMF can be asked here. Where is the team involvement? Fantasy Basketball isn't all about setting lineups and picking up free agents. It isn't about checking stattracker once a night. It's about posting. It's about getting to know the players. We won't expect the level of commitment that Knappster provides to his players (see above mugshot if unclear on what I mean here), but the fans they need you. Stay after the game and sign some autographs. Come down from the owner's box and watch the game courtside. I guarantee you'll love it a whole lot more. So yes Nichols, enjoying kissing Michael, my sister.

As to where you'll have to kiss him that's up to you. I'd stay away from his rear because he doesn't have any pants on after the 8-1 prostate check Matthew Reyes gave him. For Matt's sake, let's hope he had a latex glove on. Yes, I have not given out another award in a while. Michael your pants are not only off your butt, they are most certainly not around your ankles. Instead they're on the flagpole. So Michael, here's your Salute Your Shorts Award.



And finally, I was gazing at Daniel Thomson's picture today, much as I gaze at Kevin Federline's picture. And it hit me. Daniel and K-Fed are the same person! Think about it. You never see them in the same place. When I saw Kevin Federline on Tuesday night, Daniel Thomson wasn't there. It makes perfect sense. Daniel can never make poker whenever K-Fed performs. I confronted Daniel with this information.

First Daniel played dumb:
k-fed bancorp, if i'm not mistaken, is a federally chartered stock corporation, formed in July 2003. I'm not too familiar with it, i'm embarassed to say. i'm not really involved in the stock market
Then he tried to play it off by insulting him:

kevin federline, in my opinion, has more white trash in him than an illinois dumpster. he's the reason trailor parks have gates. one of the few people in the world capable of making an aspiring wigger like me want to act white.
Then it became personal. "Actually," Daniel said, "i'm bitter that he took that woman i loved, the one that sang and performed the timeless classic "toxic" and turned her into the woman she is today."

I know it's hard to believe guys. But think about it. Thunder Dan....shorten it up...T-Dan....Kevin Federline....shorten it...K-Fed....see where I'm going? I know it's hard to swallow. But think about it, why would Daniel have come out so harsh against K-Fed when I went to boo him last week on Halloween? I felt really bad. I'm sure what I did must have torn him up. And for that T-Fed, I am sorry. Sorry for all the pain I have caused you.

If you still find it hard to believe, look at this...quite possibly the most damning evidence of all...

T-Dan K-Fed
T-FED!

That's it for now. Remember to take care of yourself, and each other. Until next time.
