Boston Frogs Snubbed From NCAA Tournament

With selection Sunday here and gone and the field of 68 decided for the annual  March Madness tournament, there is always controversy that comes with it. With not every team being allowed in and committee to select the teams, there are always teams that feel they deserve to be in the big dance.

This year seems to have a lot of buzz on this topic as the winner of the Double Dribble league, the Boston Frogs got left out in the cold. There seems to be a big backlash from the teams fans and management on not being selected in the tournament.

Shooting guard and team captain, Chad Bosworth took to social media to express his frustration. stating that “this is a complete disgrace to be left out. Put our resume against anyone and see we are much better than those ‘bubble teams’ that got the nod ahead of us”. He also went on to make a bold prediction about the team play saying “put us up against anyone and we can beat them on any given day. We have the best three point shooters in the league. We invented the corner three to the point that some say we are cheating.”

The team will have a meeting to decide if they will participate in the NIT tournament.

NBA 2K Face Scanner Steals Personal Info

Court side – (BFN) We have confirmed that the NBA 2K app, which is used in conjunction with the game, NBA 2K18 steals your personal information.

The app employs a face scanner which allows Ronnie 2K and the rest of the 2K games, to steal personal information. Stolen information includes, eye color, lip measurement, head size, beard style, and much more.

Rather then use the face scanner on themselves, we urge all players employ a picture of a clown to avoid detection.

NBA 2K18: No Basketballs?

NBA 2K18 came out not too long ago, but the franchise’s newest installment seems to be missing one major thing: basketballs.

“The decision to drop basketballs was not an easy decision.” Head developer, John Doe, stated. “But we felt like it wasn’t an important aspect of the game, so, to save space, we got rid of them.”

“Without basketballs, this game is a lot simpler. I don’t have to worry about traveling anymore, only fouling.” gamer Kobe Bryant stated.

While it still seems like a questionable decision to remove basketballs in a basketball game, NBA 2K18 seems to be doing fairly well without it, outselling Destiny 2 in its first week.

The game now consists of running up and down the court, pushing over other players, and yelling, “Kobe,” while shooting imaginary basketballs.

Will they keep this feature for the next installments? Will basketballs now be its own DLC? Only time will tell.
