Despite Demands of Fatherhood, Blue Team Splits the Series

Just in Time for Christmas!

Tenth Annual "Shuffle for the Duffel" a Huge Success

It was a break from the war in the standings on Monday, as the NTL superstars came together as one for a special cause dear to their hearts. The Tenth Annual "Shuffle for the Duffel" brought us all a little closer to that most special and challenging of goals: purchasing a real bag for Matt Masur.

The exhibition game featured Blue All-Star Brian Tenhave playing on White, a move that fans at fansofthentl.com voted for. The normally sharp-shooting Tenhave didn't have his best game, but he laughed it off afterwards.

"It's all for a good cause," he said. "But man, what is with White? You put on a pale shirt and all of a sudden you start shooting like Mark Cronin."

The exhibition brought in $0.12.

NTL Halloween Spooktacular!

ST. ANSELM--To celebrate the macabre nature of the holiday, the NTL pros offered something truly upsetting and bizarre: a White Team sweep!

Hurting from the absence of Bill Sarette, Blue Team wasn't able to overcome a plucky White Team. Despite Brian's best efforts (against Joe, he shot 15 for 17 from the field), the Blues couldn't compensate for the lack of Bill's shooting or pick-setting.

"To reward the White Team, they're all getting saltines and a day off from layup drills," said Coach J.

Bizarro World: Bill Furlong, Calming Influence

ST. ANSELM--A fiery slate of games led to a surprising person taking over the role as White Team's soother. With Tobin and ODB nearly imploding with anger and hatred and Mark Cronin sinking to terrifying levels of despair thanks to Bill Sarette's 90 points, someone needed to step up and steer the team out of troubled waters.

Enter Bill Furlong who rallied his teammates to secure a shocking third win and ease their frustrations.

"I'm just trying to be a soothing presence out there," Furlong said. "I figure my teammates could benefit from my serene disposition."

REPORT: White Team Suspected of Drinking Beer Before Games

ST. ANSELM--In a bombshell report, sources have revealed that key members of the White Team have been drinking beer on game days, usually in the locker room just before tip-off.

This would explain the recent collapse the White Team has endured, after going up big in games against Blue, only to lose in heartbreaking fashion.

"It's been a tradition," said one source. "They don't seem to think it was a big deal."

No White Team members responded to calls for comment, though one player was intercepted on his way to the Dean's Office and responded under the condition of anonymity.

"No one was complaining when were were up a game in the standings," he said. "I'm only one and I only had one beer."
