Current Vintage Teams an update

[MadManiac21]

I see you have a similar testing regimen to what Team Hadley used to have.  Sometimes I dream about what we could have done had not every testing session devolved into utter inebriation.  As a general rule, you did not show up to a Waterbury Open without a splitting headache and having vomited onto the side of Eastman's Toyota Previa.

Oh man. How I miss having all of us in Wmass. I gotta start playing Vintage again.

Team Hadley would be too ridiculous a list to compile of names/accomplishments/deck innovation/etc. We were the OG's. That's all.

There is a team based forum in colorado mainly for other formats (our members have won all but one ptq held in the state this year, took half the slots to nats, frequently place our members into t8s of larger events) that has some vintage members as well.

Steve Golenda--won ICBM day two. 4th at most recent CO tournament, numerous cash event wins/splits in past few years.
Danny Bragg--took second at side event at pt austin, won most recent CO tournament. numerous cash event splits
Travis Spero--2006 vintage world champion. numerous moxen split/won, numerous cash event splits
Brett Piazza--won a sapphire at some gp side event, lots of the same sorts of splits.

Pst... Don't tell anyone, but I was just trying to piss off Matt Elias by not having him in my list.

[personalbackfire]

We imprison Drain pilots. 

And get smashed by TPS pilots! 

(Just kidding, only Not!)

[Marske]

@PersonalBackfire,
Amen !!

@Prospero,
Looks like NYSE got a lot of shady business going on, which reminds me, I gotta contact your Head of the Junk Bonds division as I still need some janky ass dorks to defeat you with when we meet.

[forcethewill]

You for got someone mr nick

[forcethewill]

Also head of the snapple division... It sounds like i scrub out every tourney. 
James Hangley NYSE- head of the Pop a Jar foundation.

I play Drains, so Nick doesn't even want to acknowledge my existence. He views me as the Chair of the Madoff Division, basically.

Edit: I'm also not a lawyer, at least not yet.

What are Mana Drains?

Maybe I should use them at some point in 2010.

My good man, you still need 2 wins to reach .500 against me. 

Ohhh.  Trash talk?

I look forward to seeing you on 1/2 sweetheart.

@PersonalBackfire,
Amen !!

Green creatures are the bane of my existence right now.  I'd love to tell Mr. Teeg whom I think he should be advising...

You forgot someone mr nick

I did indeed.  My original post has been edited.  Frankly, with all the lawsuits against us, I don't know where we'd be without you.

You were tiebreaks away from top 8 at the Philly Open IV.  I meant nothing by it.  I did, however, have an amazing time when we were all in the Snapple Bracket in beautiful Westmont, New Jersey.

Amazing.  Definitely not.  You're helping us sue the Mets for our portion of their $40,000,000 profit from their Madoff dealings.

I strongly encourage you to use Drains and abandon your Forbidden Orchards posthaste.
