Brian in Boston Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 The ABA has announced that the league's 20th expansion team for next season has been awarded to Harlem, New York. The team will be owned by Wade International, Incorporated. ABA press releases identify Wade International as "a fully integrated sports and entertainment marketing agency specializing in the development and on-site management of international events and talent management with an emphasis on the Japanese market". So it stands to reason that the firm would want to operate a professional basketball franchise in Harlem. Because when I think Japan... I think HARLEM.Ooooohhhhh, my achin' head.

Shmee Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Doesn't Harlem already have a joke team with red, white & blue basketballs? So now the Harlem Globetrotters will play exhibition games against the Harlem Global Economists. The ABA has managed to do the physically impossible...it simultaneously sucks and blows.

I do such a variety of stuff.. have in-depth discussions, make some decent concepts, enter contests with a modicum of success, say sarcastic biting things to folks and piss them off, help with requests, talk to people off-board, and call folks to the carpet who are being morons to face my littany of typos.Wonder how my two-line summary would read... hmm...

Well, Payno, Tank has oversimplified a bit. Perhaps his entry should have read as follows:"You had to be there but he was a member who had made al lot of dumb pointless posts that took up space and didn't make sense. Here are a few examples: he suggested that MLB expand to like 36 teams, with many of those additional teams being in the same market. He also proposed merging the CFL and NFL plus adding 12 more teams, mostly using USFL teams and also arena league teams. At one point he had a 60 team NFL all plotted out with 2 or 3 teams in Phoenix alone. When the mods would cut him off, he'd come back on as a new user and do the same thing, over and over again."

paynomind Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Sounds like he was the award winner for "Most Times 'eyeroll smiley' Used as Response to Posting" And WiB, that would, scarily enough, be true.... and a far better legacy that I feared...

JamesCraven Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I dunno how one league can have TOO MANY TEAMS for expansion to bite, blow, suck and stink at the same time. Go figure. "I better go take a long walk off a short pier or something."Some people on this bolard have told me to do just that.My "Ron Mexico" alias is "Jon Tobago".
