Week 2 -6 Feet Over Moves to 3-1

The dream of a undefeated season was dashed but 6 Feet Over improved it's overall record to 3-1. In game one 6 Feet Over destroyed their opponents with a barrage of long jump shots and fast break lay-ups. Easily shooting over 65% the squad's confidence reached an all-time high following game 1.

Super sub Brock Ryan again was a no show at tip off. He was last seen wolfing down hot wings and enjoying opening night in the NBA. The lack of a substitute was the downfall in game 2. After jumping out to a 11-4 lead the starters hit the proverbial wall. Reiners no longer had his legs as his jump shot no longer could catch rim. Shupert appeared to be wearing concrete shoes and Dengler huffed and puffed up the court at the speed of a 65 year old man.

After the loss a distraught Aaron Shupert retreated to the solitude of the hallway.

"I take the blame for the loss," Shupert stated before launching a profanity laced tirade against his opponents.

"Them fools callin' over the back fouls in pick-up basketball, come on! In the 2nd game they were fouling intentionally to prevent lay-ups. I'm pissed!"

Reiners acknowledged the intentional fouling in his post game comments.

"This is the rec league where fouling is supposed to be limited. I wanted to foul them back but I was too exhausted from carting my beer belly up and down the floor."

Despite the tough loss spirits remain high in the 6 Feet Over locker room. Reiners is rumored to be recruiting a couple animals to strengthen the teams bench for next week.

Richard Dengler offered his insight on the weeks action.

"I felt good coming in to the game even after a weekend that included more smoke than drink. I was ready to bang man."

Week 1 - 6 Ft Over Doubles Previous Win Total

Two drunks and a drug addict were all 6 Ft over needed to double last seasons win total. Playing without the conditionally challenged Brock Ryan the squad easily defeated a team full of slow middle aged men twice. Reiners was able to shrug off his 228lb frame and bury several key 3 pointers. Dick Dengler discovered his inner athlete and stunned the middle agers with his aggressive play on the boards. Shupert occasionally turned into Karl Malone on a fast break.

"Last year we weren't ready for the competition" said Aaron Shupert. "This year the rec league is in trouble."

Rich Dengler followed through on his double double guarantee (it took both games to achieve the feat).

"I was real excited to get out here man." Dengler said. "I was surprised how well we held up coming off a weekend bender man."

Dengler made it known that he is willing to battle under the boards with female Aegon employees several times.

"I don't care who you are man, I'm getting aggressive" Dengler kept repeating.

The team moved to 2-0 on the year. It's a good start but it may be too early to gloat. The opposition featured two 280lb behemoths with no talent or conditioning. Their guards refused to shoot the ball nor would they contest shots on defense. Still 2-0 feels good after last years 1-15 campaign.

Prologue - The Roster

Jeff Reiners - Captain and all around slow and out of shape baller. He may shoot 15% from downtown this season. Can't guard anyone. Easily out muscled for rebounds. Large beer belly is most prominent feature.

Brock Ryan- On the team just to fill roster space. Concerns over his conditioning forced the team to place him on the IR. Team says that during contract negotiations Ryan said the only way he would play this season is if emergency personnel was on standby during games.

Greg Breznican- only on the roster to provide a name to meet minimum player requirements to register for league. Contract talks went like this: Jeff turns to Greg "Hey can I put your name on this list just so I can field a team this fall…..you don't even have to play." Greg who was barely listening…."Sure."

Aaron Shupert- the most confident member of the squad. Predicts championship season. The fact that he works out somewhat makes up for overall lack of talent.

Richard "Dick" Dengler - After he serves his drug suspension Dengler will bring Mark Madsen talent to the low post. No offensive moves to speak of. Cannot dribble or shoot a basketball. Personal conduct may lead to future suspensions.
