Ced

All right, she's in. Updating the list to show it. Oh, and if you're on a human controlled team and want in, tell me your player's name anyway so I can try trading for you.

---- TSM's Goal Line Blitz Team Offense QB - Geru Ortega (Alaskan Postal Worker) C - Miguel Guillermo-Sanchez (Ced) G - Ian Gordon (iggymcfly) TE - Drew "Ironhead" Kincaid (massito) Defense LB - Steven Simon (redbaron51) LB - Hoji Savagebones (IK Cool Jew) *pending* LB - Alex Morgan (UTBroward) DE - Eric LeBeau (Cartman) DT - Meagan Martin (redbaron51's fiancee) CB - Annie Eclectic (AnnieEclectic) Special Teams P - Tobias Fünke (LaParkaMarka) ----

Rushing through the computer lab between breaks here... I'll be handing out 1-yr $600/day contracts but I'll bump the signing bonus for TSM'ers to $7,500 so people can get some intense training and some neat equipment. I have to offer ~$650/day minimum to level 4 players so I'm overpaying the lot of us because you're in the clique. Crooked dealings? Rock! Technically, yes, I have final say on all matters on everything that goes, but I'm going to try to keep it somewhat democratic. I'm standing by Smartmarks FC (insert nickname here), but Trinidad Smilin' Monkeys and other TSM acronyms will be considered. I also noted everyone who sent me a message so I should have contract offers sent by midnight PST. EDIT: Changed up the daily rate for contracts but upped the signing bonus. EDIT: Nuts to that. Padded paychecks for everyone!

I'll be back to have to offer up contracts later. How does a universal, 1-yr $600/day contract + $1000 signing bonus sound for everyone? It should be noted that I'm pulling numbers out of my hat at this point.

Purchased the Vultures of the South America AAA. I'll rename then once we're set to go since I only get one chance to rename so I can't afford to blow it. Start PMing me your players and current team either here or at the GLB website so I can start dishing out the offers.

*Update: List moved to the next page.*

I've got dibs on C. I'm attempting to build him up to be a good line general and brutal pancake machine. I'm thinking something like F.C. Smartmarks would be a decent universal team name. I haven't looked about, but my current division (South America AAA) is light in human competition at the moment with one team in the A Conference and two in the Z Conference If I'm understanding correctly I think I can offer up direct contracts to human players on CPU teams to recruit them. Otherwise, I probably have to trade.

I'd be willing to finance an inaugural TSM team if we can come to agreement on where the team would play, a team name, and positions people will take. I'm thinking that since I'm playing this for fun it'll be a casual shits 'n' giggles team for the sake of having a team full of TSM'ers. However, I'll be sure to give us TSM'ers a decent salary bonus since I'm corrupt like that.

Joined in as Miguel Guillermo-Sanchez, a Center, and signed with the Curitiba Towers of the South America AAA for a year to get myself started.

Medium rare in practically all situations. I eat the steak I cook with A-1 sauce since I'm lousy with spices. However, I think a good sitdown restaurant steak should be able to stand on its own without the need for steak sauce.

I thought Diaz looked sloppy in his title defense and ate alot of unnecessary punches from Montano. He's going to get floored if he shows that sort of performance against Pacquiao, who unlike Montano has dangerous power behind his punches.

I've come across that van on my commute to Sacramento. Must be a pain for them to answer the phone.

A guy that I went to high school with got life in prison when he killed his own mother. He got back in the news recently when he killed a child molester also serving life in New Folsom.

I like Cung and his fancy spin kicks, but I can't see him surviving Frank Shamrock very long in a serious bout. I think Frank's going to stand with Cung and let him do a few of his fancy spin kicks until he gets bored and gets a sub victory.

SLEDGE HAMMER! A bit surprised to see that Square One hasn't been represented with the all of the PBS Shows already mentioned. Bionic Six. Bionics ON! A bit off topic, but the Japanese intro for the X-Men cartoon is ridiculous on many levels.

Anybody catch what Dana and Hendo were talking about after the match? I couldn't hear but noticed Hendo didn't seem too pleased during the interaction. Okami looked good against a former champ in Tanner tonight, so the case is there for a shot at a championship. Unless two straight ugly stoppage wins grant Chris Leben another chance at Silva, avenging the Okami loss is the last thing on Silva's "To Do" List in the middleweight division before he may have to challenge in another weight class.

I'm probably one of the few that enjoy micro-management games so I want this new Head Coach game to be good. The original Head Coach was a complete disappointment for me with the long load times and multiple glitches that made the game not fun to play. Head Coach is one of the few EA Sports franchises that I don't think they can possibly make worse.

Nice. A song where I won't mind singing over the female vocalist because the lyrics are that awesome.

The McDonald's Beanie Babies promo was an awesome period for me. If I felt hungry and there wasn't anything prepared in the house, I would bike down to the McDonald's near my house. Almost every single time there would be a customer that bought the meal specifically for the toy and I would walk away with a free meal. I think management eventually caught on to what I was doing, but I don't think they minded much since people would seriously dump the food untouched then head out with a Beanie Baby or two in hand.

Bought Apollo Justice after work today and went through the first case. I'm glad I managed to not have had any major plots of the story spoiled because the big turnabout threw me for one hell of a loop. Totally didn't see that coming.

Looked like the mantis tapped at 1:13. It's like they drew two names of predatory insects out of a hat and threw them together to see which one would kill the other.

Lesnar was able to maul a former champion for a majority of the fight with an unpolished Ground and Pound offense. He also seems committed to improving his game and bringing it to the next level in future fights. With Brock's potential to smash somebody in mere seconds, I'm sure people will tune in even if his opponent is a low-caliber fighter.

I'll contend that the stoppage became a moot point since Lesnar when right back into a dominant GnP right after the match restarted. As for the stoppage and deduction, I don't really like the call since Mir rolled into a position to take a blow to the back to the head while Lesnar was trying to drop it. I would be OK with the stoppage if it were a matter of protecting fighters, but Mazzagatti's inconsistent matchcalling irks me a bit.

Sylvia may finally have a chance to bring the fans back to his side if he shows the fire to win the match like he did here. He seemed a little more humbled now that he's been taken down by two of the greatest heavyweights in MMA history. And HOLY SHIT ASSWHIPPING by Lytle in the bonus match!

Night of the Guillotine Choke! NOOOOOOOOG!
