Oh dude...that was the perfect idea, and I'm ashamed it didnt occur to me...

You are a genius. Only, no one but us old geezers will get it! Back in our day, we had to play Buzzerbeater in the snow, walking uphill four miles just to change our lineup!

Ahhh the good old days of the Jackson Five, and pre-Internet Buzzerbeater!

I remember when you had to submit your lineups on punched cards. Charles had this ginormous IBM server fueled by a nuclear reactor that he fed them into. Games results usually took 6-8 weeks.

I can remember when you had to send them by carrier pigeon with the results being done with a abacus and results took six to eight months.

Remember when McArthur labeled buzzerbeater a communist tool for the rebels?

And the catalogs, huge telepphone book like catalogs with every player, and during christmas, my brother and I would circle all the players we hoped Santa would bring us...

Those were the days, my friends. We thought they'd never end!

And since you are breaking out Mary Hopkins references https://youtu.be/y3KEhWTnWvE


Remember when FDR used to discuss tactics during his fireside chat and Hitler invaded Poland because the Reich lost to them in world's.

I saw this in my news feed this morning:

Back in 62’ we used morse code to transmit draft selections by telegraph. I remember accidentally telegraphing my draft selections to President Abraham Lincoln in the midst of the Civil War battle of Bull Run. I didn’t receive an immediant response, so frantically, I sent about twelve more messages. That was the first spam message in BB history. I was banned indefinitely and beheaded for treason.

You’re asking the wrong guy. Perhaps try Will Smith or Tommy Lee Jones.
