This is phenomenal. Jamie LaMunyon owns the Montgomery Maulers, a football team in the National Indoor Football League. The NIFL, if you will. It’s a league for guys who can’t quite cut in the the Arena2 League, much like Jake Taylor couldn’t cut it in the Mexican League.
Anyway, Jamie LaMunyon fired the entire team today. She fired every damn one of them.
“I have cut all the football players,” she told the Montgomery Advertiser in a story Thursday. “Fans will see a whole new team next week in Montgomery. Maybe they can win a game.”
Well, you don’t see that every day. Players were upset about not being paid, and the team threatened to not travel to Osceola for their next game if the owner didn’t cough up the scratch. She did not… and she did, in fact, cut everyone on the team.
If any of you out there really need a job… well, I’m thinking you’re not going to have to be that great of a football player to make it as a replacement in the NIFL. Of course, you might not get paid… but you’re probably allowed to smoke between plays, and no one’s going to get too mad if you want to add a little bourbon to your Gatorade. It’s a give-and-take situation.

Apply for the NIFL, eh? Hmmm… ah, why not? It’s not like Slamball ever returned my call. Bastards.
