WHY DOES MINNEAPOLIS NOT HAVE A TEAM AND WHY ARE WE NOT DOMINATING THIS???

Also, the current world record for longest Dodgeball marathon is 24 hours and change... I would like to say to that record what Ivan Drago once said to Rocky Balboa: I must break you.

1 - I have advocated for six hour saturday Battle Royal for weeks. Everyone puts in 10 bucks. No water bottles, no cell phones, no bathroom breaks, you sit out a game, go tinkle or pick touch a cell phone you are done. Last person standing gets the pile of cash. Further, would be best played in the small gym in July - CRANK UP THE HEAT!!!

2 - Or we could do Royal Rumble Style: Get 40 people or so. Draw Numbers. Start with 2 on 2. Every 30 seconds a new player comes in the doors and onto the opposite team and into the game. If/when a whole side is eliminated the winning team redraws and starts over. Last person out gets a plastic belt and the cash.

3 - I say we contact one of the dodgeball teams in surrounding states and tell them to drive up to here for a good old fashioned game of dodgeball. We can host them at our houses. I can seriously fit 4 people on the couches in my apartment. All they gotta do is pay for gas. Then, we can go there and kick their ass. On our court we play by our rules, down there we play by theirs. I HAVE BEEN EYEING NYC's two leagues, Virginia, that 9 man league up in Manitoba Canada (get yur passports ready) and the grand daddy of them ALL: THEY HAVE A TEAM IN THE UK. I WOULD SELL CANDY BARS and STRIP ON THE WEEKENDS FOR THAT!!! Balls: $6, plane ticket to UK $800, putting OUR BALLS on the face of some snaggle toothed BRITS: PRICELESS!!!

IN SOLIDARITY,

4 - Troy says the NDL is just a 1 weekend tournament, not an actual travelling league (WE WOULD KICK THEIR ASS IF WE PONIED UP THE $$$).

Interesting "Rules" tidbits:

Headshots
* Any thrower committing a headshot will be deemed "out."

Pinching
The act of squeezing the ball in order to alter the thrown or blocked ball is not allowed.

Blocking
* Any blocked ball rebounding off another ball is considered live. Any player hit by the rebounding ball is deemed "out."

Outs
* If a player is hit by a live ball rebounding off another player or ball lying on the court.

Max-

As you can see by the constantly scrolling pictures on the so-called "National Dodgeball League" website, these players are little more than noobs with team uniforms and referees. Refs are for football--if you don't possess the fortitude to go out when you've been hit, then you shouldn't be playing this "sport-of-the-Gods" (Vince Lombardi said that, btw).

Also, you should get the specifics on the longest Dodgeball marathon, because I am would be so up for breaking that mother. How epic would that be: "Oh yeah...my dodgeball league and I just broke a GUINNESS WORLD RECORD." That's an instant pick-up line for Mikey! We would not only rule the dodgeball airwaves on Meetup.com, but mentally shut-down any team that even thinks it has a chance against us.

Jesse-

A six-hour last man standing sounds ultra epic, "Royal Rumble" style even more so--we could be the former as a precursor to our record-breaking twenty-four hour bash, and the later as a way to change things us//relive those good 'ol WWF days .

TALK IS CHEAP. ACTIONS>>>WORDS. DON'T THINK//JUST DO.

You know the MLK peps would be up for it (meaning the 24-hour record breaking feat)...the press in and of itself would be worth thousands of dollars.

And also, if Jesse was serious about it (and I have no doubt about it, but I'm just double-checking things here), I could begin contacting those peps from other states. I'D BE A GREAT PR REP. Get those grubby dudes and dudines from the West//South//North//East to come down so we can show them how it's done.

Also, Britain? WE KICKED THEIR ASS IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR--WE STOMPED THEM A NEW ONE IN WWI--BRING IT ON.

I love this enthusiasm. We all know we're good--let's strive to make ourselves better.

Also, I would like to make the assertion that the "NDL" is a sexist organization:

http://www.thendl.com...

WE LIKE WOMEN WHO PLAY WITH OUR BALLS//NOT GURLS THAT STAND ON THE SDIES AND JUST LOOK AT THEM.

All of that sounds awesome.

The Royal Rumble one does sound cool. Even cooler would be each person entering to a song snippet of their choice!! Just like in the WWE.

Me, Lawrence and Troy have over 10 dodgeball championships through this already. Been there done that!

Bertoni's MUSIC IDEA... BRILLIANT. SIMPLY BRILLIANT.

I dig the new photo. Your like a slimfast chocolate breakfast bar.

Actually, It might be fun to put together a one day tournament of some sort. Anyone want to volunteer to help put it together?
