If this past weekend was any indication of how Strange will do in the NXL, it doesn't look good. They practiced against Chicago and had a rough time. It could have been that Chicago was on and Strange was having a bad weekend, who knows. For Strange, Saturday was ok and Sunday was just plain ugly.

Goodluck to both teams.


And I see that TJ is indulging in the memories of Shannon Hoone.

this is something I don't understand.....
Why would Crossmann, a company that make low-end paintball products, and a bit of paint. A company that are not in the high end market at all, why would this company pay 100g plus ongoing running costs for an X-ball franchise, see them come last in their first season, then re-invest by offering to buy Strange and stick them in there instead.
Why would they do this when they have no TV ads to promote thier products to thier actual marketplace (entry level). Crossmann are either really mad, or they are not paying the whole bill. Perhaps they are yet another team that is basically paid for by the X-ball league (remember that the league owner - Richmond - is also the paint sponsor for all but one of the teams, and is therefore giving 3-5 million balls to 7 teams in the NXL, that's 35 million balls free, at an estimated manufactured cost of 180,000 dollars. If it turns out that the NXL are providing free paint to it's teams, AND paying them wages to stay in the league, what happens if the TV deal they dream of does not happen? How much longer can the NXL sustain this kind of expenditure...

Add this to the fact that they have not filmed a single thing yet, meaning that if they got a TV deal tomorrow they would have nothing to show for 12 months...

my point exactly, they don't even have a manufactured gun for the team to shoot, meaning they stand even less chance of getting any money back. They may earn $150 per gun off those Impulses, but I doubt that even covers the wages thay are paying the players.
One thing I have learned is this:
If it don't make sense, after scrutiny, then that's because either it isn't real, or there are some very stupid people involved, or there are some very clever people involved, that would have us think they are stupid.
Seems to have worked here though....
Someone could post that Dynasty were happy with thier shockers and you lot would probably believe that too!

Who are you? Your annonimity allows you to hide behind your statements, but doesnt give what you write any credibility at all.
