Just trying to help BT your comedy is appreciated.. I know there's no love lost between you and ..well...any league... nor the Storm... but, truth be told, we were't following the rules, however poorly they may have been communicated... I would have accepted the fine and the roster exemption ... but to open yourself up to future record tampering by strpping wins is just a plain bush league move.. so, another thought.. say we face the Beef in our first round "road" game... perhaps the Beef refuse to host as a matter of protest.. let's do the game in SC

oh jeeez. listen, I was not overwhelmed @ Unted Indoor Football, tying up with the Intense Football league, and thought at least it should be called UIF since the st0rm beat their Champion fair and square. But, I went along with the gag, and even kept my big mouth shut, when I saw the less than stellar job the new league honchi were doing, and threw my support behind them in the hopes they would get it together and move forward. But this is inexcusable. A hefty fine of say 10k per game is suficient. jmho.

Dont do the crime if you can't do the time. Yeah don't to it.
Why would there be an * next to the new champ? Do we not still play the rest of the season and the playoffs? The Storm never beat Ohio Valley when OV was in there prime, nor did SF compete with an excellant Peoria team who went to AF2 on 2001, so they never beat the best to become the best. Yeah I guess I dont have a brain to understand why you can't punish somebody in a way that will make sure the crime will never happen again.

Upon further review, and me getting the whole story
the punishment fits the crime. and that's all i'm going to say about the matter

Let's say solely for the sake of argument that SF didn't have their ducks in a proper row, HOW ON EARTH DOES THE IFL FRONT OFFICE MISS SEEING THAT ?
Mr. Crow , would've NEVER let such a GLARING oversight pass. remember Dayton ?

I just want to start by saying sorry to all the Storm fans. This is just a horrible decision by the IFL, as they are punishing the players, coaches and fans more than the organization that made the mistake.
As a Outlaws fan I wanted so badly to have my team be the one to finally knock off the Storm this post season but not like this, on the field where the game was meant to be decided. Now if the Storm find a way to make it in the play-offs and get through to the Championship the other team won't have truly earned home field. IMO the whole season has a * not just the team who ends up winning the championship.
On the other hand Storm fans the team is in position for their best championship run ever, while all the other teams are playing for a tainted title.

It isnt tainted, you still have to beat good teams to win the championship.

I believe the title will be tainted if the storm don't make the playoffs, how i feel on that, but if there is more to the story we shall see, and of course if the storm make the playoffs, well then i dont see the title being tainted

Storm fans, I feel for you. We went through similar crap in the NIFL all the way through the championship game. But you know what? Outlaws fans came together and said screw the league, we'll keep suing and keep winning games. I see Sioux Falls doing the same thing. So, quit bitching if you can't change it. Unite, and impose your will. It worked for us... P.S. I don't think this incident can possibly affect tonight's game. I expect your best.

It sure as hell looks as though they are over doing it because it exposed the I F L front office for being asleep at the wheel and now they're over reacting because they've been caught with their pants down. IN WEEK SEVEN ? puh-lease. I say fine the storm 10k for each and every game they were not in sync with league policy. But over doing it because the league office has no idea what's going on is pure bullship.

Stop your everyone...play by the rules that your owners signed onto and there is no problem. I also hear other teams are facing some possible fine to.So who next? I love it Crow never enforced s h i t and today the league gained some credibility in my eyes.

i agree the league could gain credibility BLZ but also they have to release ALL the facts cause of right now it looks really shady

I hope there is an asterisk for the new championship. It will go nicely with the strom's asterisk on their first championship.
