To Whom It May Concern,
Now that I've addressed all 3 people I will be able to force to read at least one of my entries let me get started. The focus of this blog – for the time being – will be to detail the tedious but all-important process of myself (T Rock) and The Jew finding a team heading into next season. The summer season is not over, no, but with a record shockingly worse than the Nationals split vs. little league teams, I think it’s time we go our separate ways (that is a shout out to Mark Titus of the Club Trillion blog). Therefore, I’d like to use this as the official announcement: T Rock and The Jew will be opting out of our current deals following the summer season of DCKickball with I’d Hit That. We had a good run with some better people, even took 2nd place in the summer flip cup tournament missing some of our key members, and had a fantastic time. We want to thank the fans and we wish the entire franchise nothing but the best moving forward. We don’t know what our current plans are and haven’t completely ruled out a glorious return to once again don the baby blue, but at this time we are exploring other opportunities.
Over the course of the season, after utterly miserable showings on the field, our team had pretty solid showings at the bar. Sadly, as the season wore on more and more players opted not to be lame and twice I was left to fend off all challengers alone – The Jew even bailed on me a few times. Based on flip cup prowess and general awesomeness, both The Jew and I have received several offers ranging from temporary flip cup aid to random sexual favors to full blown defection to the offering team. With many tempting offers on the table, and the possibility to build a new franchise in our own image, we felt opting out would be the best way to go.
Currently, we are just beginning to sift through the offers and pick a few of the best to evaluate, while also gauging interest in joining a brand new team headed up by T Rock and The Jew. The possibilities are endless and very exciting at the same time but our key focus has, and always will be two-fold: (1) Taking home the Golden Keg for a successful flip cup tournament victory, and (2) winning a Division Championship. Our debut in the league has given us perspective on how these might be accomplished and after a T Rock-led rag-tag bunch of flip cuppers overcame some ridiculous odds (Rudy himself would have told us to give up) to place 2nd in the summer tournament, we feel very confident that we can build up a franchise through free agency and the draft in order to contend on the field and on the table next year. For now, we are working with our agent to assess our current market value and we will make the best decision for us and our careers.
Once more, to the management, players, and fans of I’d Hit That we wish you well, and thanks for the memories.
Until next time, keep kicking balls and flipping cups,
T Rock
