| My phone has been blowing up with people asking me if I have heard the latest rumor!!!
I I would like to take the time to say that I have heard many of them...right down to the one that the league will not change the HR rule. Well I not sure about that one isn't true but would like to hear if some are true.
Is mas done?
Who is in charge of Wilson?
Is unionville pub out?
Is the draft back in ?
Does JAG pack his calf's with cotton balls?
Dan Duchess going to bring in more superstars to make them even more Nasty!
Either way, I think this will be a great season
Please add any info or new rumors to the list

| - USPL predications for 2018 -
Next year, I'm expecting us to end up debating:
1?? The precautionary principle of running the bases
2?? Home runs
3?? Why some teams don’t get it
4?? Crosby vs Milliken
5?? Pizza or wings for the postgame snack

| I've never done it, lots of arguments for and against it. For me, it's always been a combination of couch catch, shoe shining the heel, pounding the break points with a mallet and catch.
Years ago, I used to use the Vinci conditioner (as directed by Vinci with their gloves) - I liked that stuff, you could apply a nice thin coat, let it soak in and then work it once dry.

| Spend the money on A proper pounding pad and use either a wood mallet or make one from a softball and a hamer handle. I usually sit on the floor with the pad and pound the piss out of my glove well watching tv. You'd be surprised how quick you can break in a glove. Try to keep your hand in the glove well doing it so it takes the form of your hand.

| The Arms, Dst, Cairney, Duchess and Harding are at the top of the class because they will all improve with their moves in the offseason. Starks and Active all are losing key players and are a notch below, in my humble opinion.
Six of these seven teams will be winners 15 plus times this year.
I’m picking the 2012 USPL-winning Orange Tigers to come back and defeat the defending-champion Dst in another epic Sunday classic.
