WaterBoy Weekly - 7/14 Edition
Alright, this week we face Wally's and I for one would like nothing better
than to kick their ass. They have done well this season and I believe their
only loss is to summit aka the best team in the league. However, they don't
impress me. They have had close games with everyone they have played. And I
hope they take us for granted. Regardless the waterboy is out for Blood and
Gore and Guts  this week, because If we can't beat 'em I certainly want to
inflict some long lasting pain.
Now,  I believe Harry is back this week after leaving us high and dry the
last two weeks. and NICK I am sooooooo  Speciale that i don't have to show up
to any damn games since the first one should be there as well. Thank god you
are bringing beer man cause while you have been on Rand R the rest of the
troops have been in the trenchs and morale is running low. Who knows what the
status of Big Mark Wilson. But it would be nice if u could at least dress for
the game, even if you are not gonna play. For christ sakes man do it for
Shannon!
Hey Lubo can you get that young guy that played d last week he was pretty
damn good and would be a big help in tonight's upset Victory.  Nonetheless,
this team is not a bunch of youngsters and should be able to run and gun us
to death and I think they aren't anything special fact is a couple of more
swings our way our record would be alot better too.
 No BBq this week if u want to Q contact BEN but BYO habachi as mine is at
home.
Anyway, lets step it up this week and gu\ive them another loss otherwise we
might be playing in the bottom rung of the playoffs and I for one feel we are
better than that.
6:15 tonight

WaterBoy Weekly - 7/6 Edition
Well, its another week and another waterboy weekly. And this week we face the
Montville Lambasters who, although not being the brightest candles on the
shelf, have managed to play every team they faced with a standard of decent
play. They don't have any real stand out players,except one tall attackman.
He can be shut down, but needs to be covered tight. Their goalie is OK but
gets frustrated easy and can be beat. He and I have a long standing vendetta
that started when I leveled him 2 years ago in the war at the shore
tournament. The key to Montvile is they play together and have some veteran
players, if we can disrupt this and get to the groundballs. I think we should
be able to triumph.
As for their history they lost close games to a couple of teams including Mt
Lakes and Wally's. They also beat up on red allied whom we managed to defeat
last week despite a lackluster effort. However, I might point out that
"lackluster" does not describe the play of one Kurt "PEPSI CHALLENGE" Smith
who managed to dump in a hat trick and put us over the top. Well, Kurt show
us that that performance was not an anomaly (ah, mike that means abnormal,
like the jar igor AKA "jay"got your brain from) and do it again this week.
Nonetheless, it seems as if we are the walking wounded this week as Fred
Goode continues to be on the injured reserve as well as new Kevin "Crash"
Shannon who has broken his clavicle and two of his larynx, Jezzz Sissy take a
shot of cortisone and get back in the game. But by far the disable list award
this week goes to Mark Wilson who continues to be out with a hamstring injury
AKA flat tire. Well, it is the waterboy weekly's understanding that Deion
Sanders called Mark and wanted his athletic ability back, leaving Mark stuck
with just the injuries. However there was a rumor Mark was going to run
tonight utilizing his "third leg" but alas he came up "short" and will be
unable to go. SO, MUCH FOR THAT EXTRA MUSCLE !!!
SOOOOOOOOOOO looks like he will miss out on the second grilling of sabretts
in the parking lot after the game....but let us not think too quickly of the
brews and the dogs that we don't have a repeat of the Kinnelon and Mt Lakes
let down's. To ensure that this does not happen the Waterboy weekly has
employed the services of a famous coach to give this week 's pep talk.....he
was kinda upset about the Kinnelon loss and extremely bothered by the late
game failure of the Lakes game and he assures me that he will not stand for
it......So without Further adieu  Take it away Coach.
WARNING THIS WAV CONTAINS A COUPLE OF VERBALLY EXPLICIT EXTRA'S SO PLEASE
PLAY WITH YOUR OFFICE DOORS CLOSED.  AAHH ITS WORTH IT THOUGH! SO TAKE THE
TIME TO DOWNLOAD A LIL PEP TALK IF U WILL !
HEY! Lets get a win tonight and break the 500 mark again.
See ya at the game

other Waterboy weekly's. We assume no obligation to update the information in
this
newsletter. And cannot be held responsible for its content.

Well, its a brand new week and the Waterboy weekly is all sorts of geared up
to play the Mt Lakes team or Navy Blue at 6:30 on Wednesday the 23rd of June.
Mt lakes usually makes a solid effort and in this league although has had a
somewhat lackluster start this year. They lost their first game in overtime
to Wally's team (maroon) who is not a bad team but who looked sloppy Vs the
Allied team (red) last Wednesday. You all remember the scrimmage in which
Black River had Allied calling us Mommy, as we took them to school on a
regular basis. Nonetheless Mt. Lakes made a recover last week with a victory
over Montville in a close game. So Lakes is 1-1, as are we after blowing a
lead to Kinnelon (who albeit had a full rooster that week). Kinnelon really
didn't show us anything we can't handle when we have all our guys and we
didn't do to bad despite missing a number of our key players. By the way
those of you that missed last week's game please do not forget to remit your
$50 dollar amercement to Coach Haumersen by game time Wednesday. And for
those of you unaware what amercement means remit 40 dollars and buy a god
damn dictionary with the other $10 or remit $60 dollars and ask me. Along the
same lines do not think for a minute that these in unexcusable absences won't
be held against you in next years contract negotiations. Only those who have
a note from their Mommy or a certified Doctor (faith healers excluded) will
be exempt from the fine. Anyone who feels they have a discrepancy and should
not have to pay, please take it up with the team Sgt. of Arms and Treasurer
Mark Wilson. Oh and by the way WHERE The Hell is SNAP.COM (AKA M.I.A.
Middleton)? I thought his IPO (initial public outing) was to be last week.
Waterboy weekly has heard rumors that Snap was a hold out in contract talks
and was hoping to be picked up by Summit on the waiver wires, but no dice and
should be there this week. However these rumors remain unsubstantiated and
could not be verified at the time this newsletter went to print. Not that we
here at the Waterboy weekly care, as one of our motto's remains "DON'T RUIN A
GOOD STORY WITH THE FACTS." Nonetheless the game this week should be a test,
but not an insurmountable obstacle on our road to the playoffs. I can tell
you that a win would be a huge step in the right direction as we have Allied
and Montvile after this, then Wally's and Summit. 5-1 would yield a nice
playoff position and make an easier road to the championship. I guess that is
all I have to say this week but I would like to leave you with a quote from
late great Vince Lombardi who said, "You show me a good loser and I'll show
you a loser." Think about it!
See ya at the game
