Calgary Blame Game
The Calgary Pioneers were notified by the League Office today that the team will be penalized for missing a mandated league vote. The club failed to submit their ballot for award recipients as mandated by the BBA Constitution. While the team awaits word on the severity of the penalty, the blame game has already begun. It looks like the proverbial fecal matter has hit the cooking container in Calgary. These are some of the team emails that were leaked to reporters today by an unnamed team source.

From: GM Kevin Dickson
To: Asst GM Alfonso Martinez
Subject: WTF!!!!!
Fonz, what the hell happened! The league just nailed us for a violation, because you didn’t submit the award ballot. This is going to cost us big time. How the hell did you forget to do this? After the season we had it’s not the best time to piss off Hoss and let me tell you, HE IS PISSED.

From: Asst GM Alfonso Martinez
To: GM Kevin Dickson
Subject: I thought you were doing the ballot?
As the heading says. I thought you were doing the ballot. You always do the ballot. You never told me to do the ballot, so why are you blaming me? I am sure the boss is angry, we had a losing record and our attendance cratered, but don’t blame me for this one. Any chance we can still submit it?
---------------------------------
From: GM Kevin Dickson
To: Asst GM Alfonso Martinez
Subject: You Had One Thing….One Thing!
Hey just man up and admit you screwed up. You wonder why I don’t give you more to do? Well you had one thing to do and you screwed the pooch. You better come up with a good excuse because he wants to fire someone and the bullseye is on you. I emailed you 2 weeks ago to do the ballot.

From: The Boss (Owner Charles Radbourn)
To: GM Kevin Dickson
Subject: Explanation?
So have you got a good explanation worked out on this one yet? This is embarrassing, it is humiliating, it is not the way we do things in Calgary. Sure Boise or Phoenix, the league would expect it from them. Sacramento, sure everyone could see that happening, but not us. I want an answer on my desk by the end of the day.

To: GM Kevin Dickson
Subject: No Email
Hey I triple checked my email, spam filter, porn filter, ex wife filter and everything. You never sent me an email. Any chance you typed it up and forgot to hit send?
---------------------------------
From: GM Kevin Dickson
To: Asst GM Alfonso Martinez
Subject: Sorry
So I looked in my Drafts and that is what happened. I forgot to hit send. Mark it in you calendar for next season so we don’t screw it up again. I will figure out something to tell the boss.
---------------------------------
From: GM Kevin Dickson
To: The Boss
Subject: Problem Solved
So we figured out what happened. I emailed Alfonso, but he never got the message. Something got screwed up with your email system so I solved the problem. I fired the IT guy. I just won’t have guys that can’t do their job working here. Cochran recommended the guy, so I will have a talk with him to.

Re: 2052-7 Calgary Blame Game
