Lamest excuse?

[ImmortalIconForever]

What is the lamest excuse that anyone here has heard for someone to not play a basketball game? I play in a rec. basketball league, and this is what our injury report would have said, if we had one.

Prob: Player A (ankle), Player B (shoulder)
Questionable: Player C (birth of child), Player D (illness)

OUT: Player F (poison ivy!)?

that's right, that's not a mistake, poison iny!

Anyone else here have any other good/lame excuses for not playing?

Actually, That was a mistake

For real though-Poison Ivy?...how old are your teammates? 10?

In the rec league I played at a few years ago (back when the knees were still good ) Someone couldn’t make it because he needed to spend more time with his wife...are you kidding? The Mrs. was the only reason I joined the league! gotta get away some how

 

[TheLivingLegend]

The wife excuse is nearly just as weak.

However, poison ivy. PuHAHAA! Makes you wonder how such posion ivy was gotten... My theory, the worlds worst golf shot into the woods, refusing to take a drop. "No worries, ill play it"

 

[Thegreatone]

Wow...

 

[david aka the TYZ]

If he really had poison ivy you wouldn't want him out there or else you'd all have it. Now if he was making it up that is pretty lame. Spending more time with the wife is the lamest of all. He should have his man-card revoked.

I'd rather have someone w/ Poison Ivy than my teammate falling asleep during the game.

Speaking of lamest excuse, how about one of Griffey's teammates defending him saying he can't sleep at night because he's not comfortable in his hotel without his family and is only comfortable in his chair in the clubhouse.

 

[swg]

Sounds like something Tiger Wood say.

He had gross poisen ivy that was oozing and pussin through gozz and his pants. It was on his knee's so when he walked it would bust open and ooz more. His knees were swelling very badly as a result.

His 25 ppg were missed.

 

[swg]

Thanx for the visual.

 

[Thegreatone]

haha sorry man.

Ill take it my theory on how the posion ivy was gotten, was spot on?

I actually heard that there are rumors going around that a teammate was the one who poisoned the player. There are rumors floating around that the team was looking for a trade for said player, no one would take an offer, so they did the next best logical thing to do, poisoned the dude. Something about a lack of effort on the defensive end. Any truth to this LL?

In a word? yes

 

[ImmortalIconForever]

He put more effort into finding a lost golf ball than playing D. unreal

That and the 45 shots per game he takes, could be better served in others hands.

Who plays Defense in a rec league anyways?! When asked about his effort on D a great man once said "You cant score playing Defense". If you are a hard worker on the court-get all those 50/50 balls then you are not good. The good players let those clowns get the 50/50 balls while they wait for the pass so they can score.

Really?? Cause here was his last game stats:

Poison Ivy Guy: 31 points (9-11 from 3)
LL: 18 points (2-9 from 3) and LL took waaay more shots.

Opposing players have recognized. When they poison ivy guy was out they said well there goes our challenge.

But can PIG (Poison Ivy Guy) make the wide open game winning lay up with 15 seconds to go in overtime? Nope.

Can PIG step to the line and knock down the front end of a 1 and 1 to ice the game in double overtime? Nope.

Just to set the story straight, the poison ivy was about the size of a quarter on his knee, and the poison ivy was a week old.
