2047-00012: Talons Write Articles for 4x the Participation Points Using This One Weird Trick

Phoenix, AZ--

After a 5-1 sim that saw the Talons ascend into the fourth JL Wild Card slot by the most precarious of margins, the Talons Reclusive GM has decided to restore funding to the Talons Electronic Media And Forum Posting Department. So, the team has resumed writing articles. But with a twist, as TEMAFPD director David Frum explains:

"Well, we were looking at the PPT tracker, which God of All Things PPT @RonCo uses to, well, track how often each team writes during any given BBA season," Frum said.

"And we were looking at the totals, and one of the interns noticed something. Each trade analysis article was worth 8 whole points. Eight points! Then we had an epiphany: What if we wrote analysis articles of our own trades?? Is that even allowed? And then we had one of the younger interns, a sophomore at the University of Phoenix, majoring in Communications, check it out," Frum continued.

"And well what do you know, there are no restrictions about analysing your own trades! And, you know with Phoenix, there is no shortage of amazingly catastrophic and franchise-ruining trades to choose from. So just today, we put together two of those Trade Analysis articles, and of course this team news telling you all about it. Thats like 18 points in just a couple hours!" Frum concluded.

"I mean really, what's more fun than writing about trading a future Hall of Famer for another pitcher whose arm explodes the very next season??"

GO TALONS!

To be honest I’d rather write a TN too than skin a cat :D
