War of Words hits the Twitter World

Week 4 is shaping up to be a pivotal week as all 4 teams in the league are within one game of each other. Every game this season has been decided by 5 points or less and 4 of the 6 games have been decided on the last play of the game including a game winning half court shot at the buzzer in week 2.

As intense as the games have been on the court, the battle of words in the office have been just as intense. Jake Vernon took his battle outside the office and into the social media world. Today on his Twitter account Jake posted the following message:

...I got a blister on my hand - could cause some issues in tomorrow's league hoops game. Will still outscore @abmowrey

In response, Alan Mowrey, PFOL's leading scorer said, " No Comment - when he scores a point in this league then I will have a comment". Mowrey was referring to Vernon's 0-10 performance in week 3.

Even fans of the PFOL have started tweeting adding fuel to an already buring flame. Chris Granger, Senior Vice President of Business Operation for the NBA tweeted:

@TMBO_Chris: @PacersVPTIX You outscore people, because you don't pass the ball. I'm just sayin

Vernon's team Troy Brokl, joined in the action and said, "I hope Alan guards me, I am going to drop 45 on him".

"All I am going to say, is Team 3 better figure out a way to score more than 25 points, otherwise we are going to embarrass them".
