--From the Cork Bowl Front Office (and the desk of the Commissioner)-- It never ceases to amaze me the lengths people will go to make excuses why their team lost Cork Bowl BEFORE THE GAME EVER STARTS!! Come on guys, what kind of league is this turning into? I know the Cork Bowl I started 11 years ago wasn't like this. With all of the advances that have been made over the years, the attitudes of players is the one thing that has disappointed me dramatically. There never used to be any doubt by players going into the games. Even in Cork Bowl 5, when the Wombats won 130-77, none of the Big Horned Sheep doubted their chances one bit. That team of Chris Cork, Brooks Wilson, Brandon Boyd, Kevin Ryan, and Josh Williamson were winners no matter how you look at that game, because they believed they would win. It's interesting that Williamson is the only player from that team that was on the original Bandicoot roster, and he just got fed up with hearing how bad his own team was going to lose he decided to leave. I don't blame him. Hopefully Kevin won't do the same. All this crap about how teams aren't fair has been going on for three years now, and the last three seasons have provided the three closest Cork Bowls ever. If anybody should be complaining about teams it should be the Ermine. Heck, they have Tomlinson AND Helton on their roster. Sure I love both of those guys, but no two players have taken more heat over the past few years than them. I almost didn't allow them to sign Helton in fear they would be so disadvantaged, but guess what....the Cork Brothers and Colonel Sanders still feel they can win. Why? Because they are true Cork Bowlers through and through. Here is an official warning from the league to all you primadonnas out there. Shape up or ship out. Cork Bowl is for champions only. No sissies allowed. --The Commish-- |
