OK, here's my two cents. I don't think anyone realizes, other than those that participated to some extent, the work that Bricky did. After years of doing the game thread by himself, which I have no idea how he did it, he contacted me and asked if I could just help with a few of the grades. I accepted, and quickly realized how much work went into it. Many times I was up till 2 or 3 am just putting together my grades, and I was just grading four players at that time with Bricky doing the rest.
For the last couple of years it was expanded with more people, who all did a very good job in my opinion. The problem is, not knowing for sure who can participate and who can't on a given night. It's sort of like having a bowling team and one member doesn't show up. The show still has to go on. The one constant was Bricky. He always picked up the slack. My point is, if your going to volunteer, realize the commitment your making. That said, if the Capt volunteers, I will. How's that for throwing down the gauntlet.
OK, just kidding Capt, I won't put pressure on you. I'm willing to do a player for every game, except the Laker games, which are blacked out where I'am, unless the game is on national TV. There has to be one person in charge of this operation, and there has to be a separate forum available to only those people participating. That means the person in charge probably needs to be a Mod. Someone that can move posts around when the product is finished. When you find a person (Mod) crazy enough to take that on, let me know.
