i wish i had two players worth five million or, for that matter, i had two million to spend.

you and TKI drew the short straws in Thursday's Cup matchups; next week, this week, it looks like Bullish and Tucumcari rolled snake-eyes.

$5,000,000 ?? In all my years playing this game, I've never had more than 2.2 mil ... & I didn't have it for long. What do you do w/ that much money ?? Buy an 18 yr old HoF trainee ... ? Build a mega stadium ?

Kudos to TKI for taking it to me. It seems to me that you (they) have a good enough team to make it to the Final Four, if not farther

i was just doing a little bit of scouting for the BM game tomorrow and took a look at the team's history.

in S.19, BM won the II.4 title. the next season he was in the NBBA finals -- and the season after he was NBBA champs. damn -- league champs in his second season.

S.22 made it to the B3 quarterfinals.

then came the rebuild -- squeaked by winning relegation in S.23. made the playoffs next two seasons, and then won a second NBBA title in S.26 -- and won the Cup in S.27

the amazing part to me is that AZ has not spent more than 1 million on a player in more than two years (may 2012).

Thanks. I definitely wasn't happy to see that my matchup this week was against Bullish, and was just lucky to have it on my home court so I could have a fighting chance.

To all: do you think PR managers are good investments ??

I just fired mine because I needed to reduce my over-extension tax. So far, my attendance is unchanged & my merch sales are up. Granted, my payroll is up too ... so, my merch sales as a % of payroll are down. Still, I'm left wondering whether PR guys are worth anything ...

For many seasons, I rolled along w/ a lvl 1 PR guy without any trouble. It was only when I advanced to Div II that it seemed proper to hire a competent PR guy. I never noticed any results (positive net cashflow), but I mindlessly upgraded to an advanced when I hit the NBBA. I reckon some of you have even hire level PR guys ... I ask again, are they worth it ??

It seems to me, that a team can fare quite well w/ a half-way decent Doctor and no other staff

PR managers are a decent investment when you have a mediocre or worse team. I carried a level 5 up until earlier this season and it definitely took a bite out of the attendance hit when I had a home game after a loss. As long as you can get a good one at a decent salary that doesn't cost so much to acquire that it outstrips any attendance savings, it can be worthwhile.
