the president's column

welcome to the best part of this website.  it is from these pages that i, nate tomko, president of the sbl, voice my opinions on everything from adam allshouse to zac zuschlag, from guitars being played on the court to when punching someone in the face is acceptable, from why pj & the ladies are the worst thing in the sbl to why they're the best thing in the sbl.

i'm telling you straight up, this page is biased.  it's opinions are mine alone, and i promise that someone will get pissed off because of something i write in every piece of literature i put up here.  deal with it.  if you want to make your own baseketball league to become the president of so you can have your own column to voice your own opinions in, go for it.  but i gotta tell you, it's not as easy as it looks.

finally, for the record, i do my best to be fair and impartial when making decisions for the league.  when you read something that i write in here, keep in mind that i can bitch and make fun of you without compromising what i know is right. 

and if i am partial in making presidential decisions, eat it.  nobody's perfect.
