Other than the LA part, part of what you say is definitely true.. I won't say which part though since I know Hogan loves when I give just enough info to not give anything at all.

I am guessing Denver since you already said Texas was probably not going to be one and you said think West but inland a little bit which is Denver.

I don't think Greg ruled out Dallas, just that Mark Cuban wouldn't be the financial backer for the possible team. Doesn't Tom Hicks' son play lacrosse at one of the privates in Dallas? :wink:

well I think and hope that one is Denver, and I think Seattle will get one, I think that Texas is deserving of team. so that would be my pick for the next three.

its almost the end of the month Gregg when are they going to name the next team?

Doesn't Tim Hick's have some sons who like to have private parties with kegs........ :wink:

I want to say they go to Highland Park or St. Mark's as I remember playing them and after our game, they joked about Plano's heroin problem where as we joked about their drinking problem after that party got broken up by the cops.

Hey Gregg, just out of curiosity, how are the expansion teams going to fill their rosters? I'm sure they are going to have a draft for some of them, but are they going to let any joe-shmo try out for them?

Start off with an expansion draft and then they'll have their regular college draft.

Not a problem. I still have inside info, but not day-to-day.

Gregg if you have "inside info," but you don't work for the MLL anymore, then spill your guts! You don't have to worry about getting fired now do you. :lol:

Can't burn my bridges, Bronco... I might be asking for a letter of recommendation at some point... I will say that most people's guesses are close to correct.

Is it really that bad for the information to be leaked early? I don't understand...It's not as if this is the hottest website/forum for MLL updates, news, etc. so it seems like only a few people would really know. Would the MLL lose tons of money if it were leaked? Or, is there something like what the cast of "Survivor" goes through until the end: they will lose their money/job/what-have-you if they leak the information.
