Step 2. Make special version of "Secrets Of A Well Funded Team" video in QuickTime-only format
Step 3. Distribute video to computationally-crippled PC-only community that is hungry for the secrets to Team Hammond success
Step 4. Collect commissions as PC community buy Mac just to see your "Secrets" video
Step 5. Go to even more competitions!

I can just imagine how the backroom conversations went:

"Hey Bugsy, d'ya think they will fall fer dis?"

"Yeah Mugsy, dem other teams is so hard up for da Hammond secrets dat dey will do just about anythin' to git more info"

"So if dis woiks, we could be just rollin' in da dough before the season even starts!"

"Yeah, and den we won't even have to knock over any more banks or nuttin' to fund da team!"

"And maybe we can pull in enough cash to spring "Big Bill" from da joint!"

Reading imbetween the lines, does this mean this year's game will involve iPods?

Re: Secrets Of A Well Funded Team

I heard a rumor that 71 had Steven Spielberg film this with their extra budget money this year.

I heard a rumor that 71 had enough money in their budget that their mentors can afford suits.

I heard a rumor that 71 bought that hotel with the extra money they got from their school district this year.

I bet that guitar case is full of money! You guys don't fool me!
p.s. - Randy and Dee, you guys are amazing!

Re: Secrets Of A Well Funded Team

I heard a rumor that that thread died a several weeks ago and was better left that way.

Beatty can make fun, but don't drag things up that are settled.

Edit: I'll note this post was made prior to Amanda's edit, if it seems odd.

So... Do this thread belong to the rumor mill? Or should we start paying our monthly respect from now on...?

I want to moderate the forum... But I wouldn't want to be on the bad side of the "family"...

Just kiss the drill motor before you speak to the Bot Father, like Swampdude said, and you should be fine.

Re: Secrets Of A Well Funded Team

Except you don't want to kiss the drill motor right after it's been running in a two minute match!


Nice job with the video and do you have any idea when you're planning on coming out with the sequel?
