Pacers League getting heated

Only two weeks into the season and things are already getting intense. This past week has seen several players verbally battling in the media. It started with Edmound Elzy of Team 2 guaranteeing that Eric Flatt would outscore Pacers F-Off League's 2nd leading scorer Alan Mowrey. When reached for comment, Mowrey was amused by this statement, but said "Our team should be 2-0, if they want to try and shut me down go right ahead, we have plenty of other weapons on this team. I am all about getting the W and I don't care if I score 4 points as long as we win. With that said, I would not take that bet." Team 1 plays Team 2 at 11:45am Tuesday.

Another war of words started between Team 4's Jason McGuinness and upcoming opponent Team 3. Thursday, McGuinness sent a league wide email stating:

"SHOT CALL: Jhared = single digit points next week. Bring your mouth piece. You will feel like #28"

McGuinness was referring to league's leading scorer Jhared Simpson. McGuinness even went as far as to divulge the game plan of playing a box and 1 on Simpson. This is an attempt to hold Simpson below his season average of 19.5 points per game. It is unknown if Simpson is even aware of this email that was sent as he has yet to respond to any email communication sent out by the league office or any of it's players.

League sources have confirmed that a lengthy game planned devise by Team 4's Pat Sullivan exceeded 4 pages.

The same source has confirmed that the lowest scoring team in the league, Team 2, has been working feverishly to implement a new offensive scheme for their upcoming game with underrated Team 1. Multiple emails have been sent back and forth between members of Team 2, as they try to formulate a game plan that will get them scoring more points. They have so many issues that the number of emails sent between the players of Team 2 affected storage space on the league server. Bob Cary, who works in the IT department said, "they just kept going on and on trying to figure out how to score more points - it was just email after email."

A player from Team 2 who wished to remain anonymous said today, "I am worried about this game, we struggle to score points and don't really have any other scoring outside of Elzy. I think we need to get more people shots and not be so one dimensional."

Mowrey, from Team 1 joined in the trash talking by saying, "that team should be 0-2 - they got a lucky win in week 1"

Week 3 is bound to be a very interesting week on the court.
