SAY IT AIN'T SO- YEE OUT FOR FIRST 10 GAMES.
Greg Ross Report
The worst thing short of Walt Jackson getting injured happened to Toronto in there final exhibition game verus Anndorra. Yee Went down hard on his ankle and will now be out for 11 days according to team doctors.
This is not the type of news a team wants to hear right before they start a season that many think of them as legit contenders. But there seems to be more to it than just the injury. Walt Jackson has basically declared war on Anndorra. The Dinos meet up with them in a home and home series on days 5 and 6 of the schedule. Jackson said the following,"Those sorry SOB'S were trying to run up the score and played dirty. It was the last exhibition game not the WBA Finals. Hell it wasn't even the Finals of the preseason tournament. Well fine if that's how they want to play than will play that way. I thought punks like Bruce Bowen only played in the NBA.Guess I was wrong. Well I declare war on those stupid punks and Walt Jackson is going tear down their house brick by brick. The only bricks they have left is the ones that they shoot. It's on like Donky Kong so I can't wait to see them again."
Jackson is normally very friendly and out going this is totally out of charcter for him to just go off but he has exploded. There was more said but it can not be cleaned up enough to be published. What this will mean on the court is unclear as Jackson has not played since this blow up. Capetown will be the first to find out what this new more angry Walt Jackson will be like. It has certainly mad an other wise lack luster home and home series with Anndorra anything but now. The game verus Anndorra is a sell out in Toronto. This is good news from a marketing stand point but the loss of Yee will add pressure on other Dinos to pick up the slack including Jackson.
One place it may come from is rookie Geoffry Cladwell who has performed very nice in the pre season.Webster Hewlett will also be expect to produce.Coach Armstrong was still up beat and has the following to say" I don't like that kind of dirty play the highlanders pulled but we look at it as a chance to grow as a team. I think Walt being angry as he is will help the team have a common purpose. It is not how I would like to have seen it happen but this whole issue has brought the team closer together and created a real family type enviroment. Obvious losing are top scorer is not how I wanted to build team unity but apparently it has. I pity anyone guarding Walt Jackson until he gets his revenge on Anndorra. But I have made it clear to everyone revenge is winning not taking out someone on thier team."
Well in Walt Jackson words it's on like donkey kong starting tomorrow. Capetown Zulu entertain an angry pack of Dinos.

LOGO A GO GO
many teams have taken the oppurtunity to move this offseason. As well as change nicknames and logos. Here is a look at the latest teams to sport a new look for season 11:
These are just some of the new looks out there in the WBA. New logos were the in thing this offseason but will it matter for the teams on the floor? I mean New York is still bad even with a fresh coat of paint right? New management may turn that around but a new logo won't be the reason. One thing is for sure lots of teams are trying to add revenue through merchandice sales. Could this lead to a bigger cap increase for next season? who knows well one man does thats the Commish.
WBA League Offices Rule On New Waiver Rules
The Following E-MAIL Was Released MAY 30th for league offices:
As many people have pointed out there are problems with the current waiver wire situation. So, I have listened to the suggestions and come up with the new rule which is pasted below. This is the permanent rule and should solve these sorts or problems. Sorry for all the trouble on this issue.Waiver wire: Players who are cut from a roster during the season or after free agency in the off-season will be placed on the waiver wire. Teams will have the opportunity to sign these players to a one year contract for half the value of their previous contract. If by Saturday there are no teams willing to sign the player the value of the contract will decrease by 10%. This will continue each week until the contract value is at the minimum value of $0.25 million. Teams are given priority on the waiver wire with the teams with the worst current record or previous season record (during the off-season)receiving preference.

Thoughts from The Front Office
By James Borbath Toronto Dinos C E O
July 19th 2005 Well 20 games into the season and quite honestly we have failed to provide the type of excitment that you fans deserve. I can give you a list of excuses as to why things have not worked out but that is not what you the fans want to hear. But I still have faith in most of the people we have and believe long term we have made some solid moves that will help us be a great franchise. We are active in the search for answers and are expoloring ways to improve. We will never stop in that effort and although on some nights it may not look like it everyone is working hard to change things in fact maybe to hard. We never bought into all the hype about us being so good so fast but we do feel that we are better than what we have produced to this point of the season. We are committed to are ong term future and will not look to stray from that the young stars we have will improve as Toronto Dinos not on some other team we are committed to that. So if anyone thinks guys like Walt Jackson or Simeon Hill are being shopped around I can assure you they are not. Any deal we make will not intfer with the long term goals of this franchise. We will continue to work hard to find the answers and deliver more wins like we had over Paris. That is proof that this team can compete with anyone and we need to do it more consistantly. Have patientce and stick with us we won't let you down!!! YOURS TRULY, JAMES BORBATH DINOS C E O |
