CGL15 Awards
Q Most Valuable Player- "I don't like being singled out on a team of champions. We all contributed in different ways to the title and we should all be rewarded equally. We came, we saw, we won a T-shirt."
Jason Rookie of the Year- "Participating in my first CGL season has been a dream come true. I didn't realize that there was life after college basketball. Plus my profile has been hit numerous times by lovely young ladies. I think we should start cglHarmony that matches couples on a variety of different basketball skill levels."
Fred GM of the Year- "When you think about it, drafting a team is like picking a family. The bond we've shared over these last 10 games has not only helped us grow as ball players, but also as men. (I hired some PR firm to write my acceptance quote, but I don't like it so here's mine: 'Wooo Hooo, we won!')"
Bill Walton's Words of Wisdom
"That was one of the worst passes I've ever seen and certainly the worst pass in the history of the San Antonio Spurs."

The Legend of the Closed Gym
It's been said that back in the late 80's-early 90's, a group of 10 or more men would gather together in the name of basketball. These men were asked to come to these so-called Open Gyms because they 1) were reliable, 2) were competitive, 3) would cause no arguments, and 4) loved to play. Because phone calls were placed to specific individuals on an invitation only basis, a significant fact was brought to the operator's attention: "Hey, these aren't Open Gyms." And thus the Closed Gyms were born.
