Breaking News!

It appears that a transcript of the meeting between the Sharks and Bandits has been leaked.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

RDG- Ladies, gentlemen and other beings, welcome to the L'Anguille Auditorium. My name is Roger "Dodger" Goodball and i am the Commissioner for the DLE. We are here today to witness the transfer ceremony between the Sharks and Bandits of one Chris (DP is for life, not just 16 turns) Boswell. Please be seated and we shall begin.

The transfer of a player is a binding trade between two co-operative parties and is something to be cherished for so long as the player retains some sort of value. It should not be entered in to lightly. If there are no objections then we shall proceed?

..........

RDG-Very well, let us continue. I believe that both parties have prepared their own speeches? Darkwing would you please start us off?

D2k6- I, darkwing2k6, do hereby promise to give a Draft 4 Brionne 3rd pick in exchange for Mr.Boswell. I promise to cherish and nurture Mr.Boswell in sickness and in health, through the good games and the Nufflings and to place him in harms way in the pursuit of mastering the art of "kicking a man while he is down" as often as is possible. Only in death will i dissolve this vow, any other disfigurements or dismemberment's will keep me true. This i swear.

RDG- Do you, FRSHMN, accept the promise of a Draft 4 Brionne 3rd and agree to relinquish your man-bond with Mr.Boswell? Do you promise to use the pick to the best of your ability in the purchase of a Bad-Ass Kill-All-Menz Mo-Fo and to deploy him with ruthless efficiency despite any cries for mercy from your opponent in accordance with the DLE Transfer policy?

F- Yes, sir, I promise that all.
But I have to ask for one more thing of Darkwing and the Sharks: Whenever there is a time you consider retiring him (may it be because of him piling up more injuries or because there is a younger dude waiting to get his shot), I'll ask you to give me the chance to make him a River Bandit again and retire him in his original jersey... and as league rules state a trade won't be accepted without at least a small input from my side, let's say for a future 4th (or whatever is the smallest pick we have by then) in return. Agreed?

D2k6- Very well, we accept your request.

F- And to Mr. Boswell: It really is not your fault, you did nothing wrong. In fact, no other player made me prouder to be his coach. You fought through injuries and other dark times, but despite all this, you always kept your smile while ramming your foot deep into a prone opponent's belly. You have been an important part in River Bandits' defense and we honestly consider retiring your jersey number.
Now to the part where I tell you about the big fat BUT in this room. Darkwing is a coach at least as dedicated as I am. And he made me an offer I (that is the economical part of me) could simply not resist. And that is why you will play from week 10 on as a Shark. Continue making me proud, big boy. Gonna boot them all!

CB- Thanks Coach, I wont let you down.

RDG- Very well said! Now do you have the rings ready for exchange?

D2k6- Errmm i think you are getting confused with a different type of ceremony. And anyway, to answer your question- no he doesnt have the SuperBowl rings as he decided to punt on the 4th turn and bolloxed it all up.

RDG- oh....kay.... Well as there is no other business, all that remains for me to say that by the power Invested in me by the Empire, Sports Gaming Board and Hard Block Cafe, I confirm this trade.

You may now kiss the Bride :)



Ahh, crap, sorry, got mixed up again, realised it as soon as i said it. Not that im against you kissing each other of course, this is a civilized society after all. No? Ok, let us proceed to the evenings festivities.
