For some of you new guys, the DTA used to provide player gifts. We would receive a single wrist band or sometimes a sock. The DTA decided to stop that practice to give us more matches. The DTA has decided that it may be time to reinstate the practice and believes they have come up with the perfect gift for Dallas League Players. It is none other than a Pacifier.
This just hit the news and price of Pacifier ETFs is up 25%.
ReplyDeleteHilarious. Do they have them in different sizes depending on how big a baby you are?
ReplyDeleteThey start in XL and go up.

ReplyDeleteIs that why Zackary asked for a XXXL?
DeleteNow that's funny. If we see Tiny and his guys walking around funny, we'll know what's up.

When you are passed over to not play on a super team, you then go and turn their players in and/or try to get other captions to do the dirty work, you better be prepared for the onslaught of hate. Unfortunately this just may be the beginning of the end for Mike Z playing in Dallas. Not sure what captain would even have him anymore. Everyone knows everyone and the word gets around when people are bad mouthed.. Unfortunate but true.
ReplyDeleteAnyone ever consider Freeman possibly was behind this plot to pay Zackry to destroy Dallas tennis 4.0 and make Le's team a shell of itself. Or perhaps Todd Reed vowed to move Zachary to 3.5 in exchange for some good dirt on le and his players? I would not totally rule out either.
ReplyDeleteYou actually think Todd Reed asked Zackary to rat out le and his players to be moved to 3.5? Not sure the TTA needed help from Zak but I bet Freeman was loving the dq's.
DeletePlease keep it either funny or at least not personal. Seriously, people have missed the point of this thread.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't make it funny you shouldn't be posting anyway
Delete5:43, that rule would bring this place to a crawl.
DeleteThere was more then Zackary complaining about the Le team. Mike's panties did get in a bunch when he was not on the team. I heard that the exchange was Zackary would be on Le's 4.0 team if Alan would let Le on his 7.0 40's team. Alan said no and then Toni did not let Mike Z on the super team or tanking team. One in the same. Let's just sit back and see what happens next.
ReplyDeleteIt just shows you mike Kelly must be nicer then people think. Captains still put him on teams and mike Z is the 4.0 kelly, but NO ONE will put zackary on a team again.
the 4.0 kelly? Really? get back to us in 5 years and about 200 wins and 12 nats later.
Deleteto 6:56
DeleteUm, pretty funny comparison but kelley is light years better. Frankly I think Kelley is getting better while zachary may have seen his best days already. That is not a knock on zak, kelley is just a freak of nature at 50 and improving.
Agreed, Kelley would beat Quackery 0 and 0.
DeleteAnd it wouldn't be that close.
DeleteTotal BS on the Alan angle. Zackary didn't get on Tony's team because he wasn't wanted. Period.
DeleteMike kelly and nice in the same sentence? What are you smoking?
ReplyDeleteWhile I agree it will be interesting to see what happens next the difference in kelley and zachary is winning without excuses or avoiding certain zachary couldn't hold kelleys jock. teams. i am not a fan of kelleys but he always wants to play (and win) the big matches. Zackry couldn't hold kelleys jock.
ReplyDeleteHe's nice to all his teammates and I just came back from Colorado. Not smoking, but GREAT candy.
ReplyDeleteto 7:23
DeleteAre you high?

ReplyDeleteare you as drunk as you think I am?
I am gunna sez it won more tyme. I didant rat owt Tonie and his boys. Onlee captions candu that and i wuz no whey responzable for kosting Lee a champeenship.
ReplyDeleteOh, forgawt...

Does it matter? We will lose to a bigger cheat than Tony Le. Freeman will embarrass us again. We are so stupid because we eat each other alive. If Mike Zackary, Tony Le or Shawn Arcaria are in your top 8, you ain't beating Houston anyway.
ReplyDeleteFinally a voice of reason.
DeleteThat is a good point. Freemans top eight would destroy Le, Arcaria and Zachary.
ReplyDeleteUsually, that would be top 12.
DeleteI'm not getting why so many people are defending a 4.0 team with 5.0 players. Nobody thinks there's a problem with that except Mike Z? I'm getting pretty disillusioned with USTA is you will see in the fall.
ReplyDeleteMight mean a little more if he wasn't a great big cheat in his own right. He has purposely lost so he doesn't become 4.5.
Deletethere are no 5.0's on that 4.0 team.
DeleteJohan is a ringer I agree. And he's computer rated and has never tanked a match. And our team still didn't win our flight. Tony Le's entire team is full of ringers and tankers. FIrst open complaint I've said about them all season because I really don't care. But why everyone on this blog is acting like they're doing nothing wrong is beyond me.
DeleteOnly the people on Tony's team.
DeleteSo who in Dallas needs the biggest Pacifier?
ReplyDeleteEasy. Marc Rossouw
DeleteSo many choices so,little time.
DeleteMike Z had nothing to do with Le players getting DQ.
ReplyDeleteSo with that said what captain file? Own up to it if you have any balls..
another Zacry post at 8:41. Everyone in Dallas knows he instigated the appeals of all Le players. Nobody fooled by trying to pass blame.
ReplyDeleteContacting Reed by phone or email about players= filing a grievance!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am guilty until proven innocent damn it! i mean versa vice, or whatever
ReplyDeleteFWD: Todd, was I responsibel for gettin Tony's Lee players dq?
ReplyDeleteMike Z
Reply:
To all concerned,
I, Rodd Teed, was not contacted by Mike Wackery in an way, shape or form concerning the disqualification of Le players. This was simply a coincidence that I looked at them and their self rate form and was NEVER contacted by said complainant about Le having better players than him. I just randomly looked at 3 players out of 18,000 and they happened to be on a team that Mike was not wanted nor asked to be on. I consider this case closed and he is innocent. PS, I hope you all enjoy your pacifiers we have so graciously supplied so go suck on it!

That is hilarious!!!!
ReplyDeletePossibly the funniest, best post written to date!
ReplyDeleteAlright, here's what I know.
ReplyDeleteMike Z asked if Toni could join our 7.0 team. I told him no because we had 4 solid 4.0 guys. I dont know if that was part of a bigger deal between the two.
Mike wanted me file a grievance on a 3.0 guy on Le's 7.0 team before the season started. When my 7.0 team played Toni, it just lined up where Mike play the 3.0 player he thought was to good. I don't know if mike tried during that match, but my other two teams didn't think he played his best. After the match, Mike tried to file with Todd, but Todd told him that a captain had to file. He kept emailing and texting me to file. After talking to other captains, I knew at least 2 captains were sending information to Todd and protesting the player. I was copied on the emails and they basically stated that the player in question self rated 3.0 and had won matches from 4.0 to open mixed with the same partner.
I have no idea if Mike Z tried to have some of the 4.0 people dq'd, but it would not surprise me. I like Mike, but he gets a little overzealous from time to time.
I've always said that I would be honest on this blog and thats my two cents on these topics. For what it's wroth (that one still cracked me up).
And someone call us for some mixed practice.
Alan
972-675-1272
That is very stand up of you. Be careful or the DTA won't give you a binky. I guess you can give yours to Zacry as he may need extras.
DeleteI want to say alan is one honest son of a gun. He pulls no punches and speaks the truth. Frankly he may be the most honest person on this blog.
DeleteWhen Alan admits to tanking matches to get down to 4.0, as well as encouraging other to tank to get to a level that works out for him, then we can praise his honesty.
DeleteUntil then, he is just a hypocrite to call out others..
Yes I complain on about one player and was Thanh Tran and was told I couldn't do anything about it because I wasn't a captain . I did text Alan but Alan wouldn't File. So I was shocked to see him get DQ.
DeleteTony other players I had nothing to do with it. NOTHING!!!!!
MIke Zackary
Hmmmmmm. Shocked to see him get DQ when you personally called Reed over and over again? But earlier you said you had NOTHING to do with any of Le's guys getting the axe. You now say you did do it but only because you were ratted out? but that "tony other players" you didn't? I think it best you probably don't say anything anymore as nothing can be taken as the truth.
DeleteZackary the Man!!!
DeleteWow. Just as we all assumed. Zackary tried to initially file the grievance but has denied it up until even today. I think this may be the last nail in the coffin. This probably did not surprise many people as most in the know had an idea who started the Tony Le witch hunt when snubbed to play 4.0. Any response to this mike Z? or are you still trying to email or phone Todd Reed.
ReplyDeleteThere is no Tony Le witch hunt. He is lucky it was Zackary because a smart captain would wait until the end of the season.
DeleteHow in the world do Tony le and Mike Z co exist on the same 40 and over team????
ReplyDeleteSpeaking as another member of that 40+ team I can tell you. I want no part of Zackery. He sucks. We don't need him. We don't want him. With all due apologies to Seinfeld, Hey Mike, the jerk store called and there all out of you.
DeleteIt will be very interesting to see if keith clark and others want him on the roster anymore. I can only imagine what Tony thinks.
DeleteFiling a grievance is every captain's right. Calling and texting people to drum up support is a little suspect. Calling Todd Reed personally is BS. Lying about all of it to anyone who will listen is the deal killer.
DeleteMike Z, you stated earlier on one of your blog rants that you had NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING to do w getting Tony's guy getting dq'd. What do you have to say now?
ReplyDeleteI have no ideer what allen is talk n bout. I had nuthin to dew with ne of the dq. He is one big LIAR. Only thin i know bout DQ is they have a grate Hungrbuster deal with fryes for purtin near under $ 4 dollers.
ReplyDeleteI did not tank. I played those matches to win and tried. But I dont play many men's matches. I've won every match I've played this year at men's. Why would I win if I was trying to stay a 4.0. I don't tell the ladies to tank. They do what they want in there own. They know I need 3.5 ladies. If they are 4.0, I can't use them.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous June 13, 2015 at 6:04 PM
ReplyDeleteI stunk it up today. Didn't play well at all.First lost in the spring.
What ever its wroth didn't report any Tony Le players PERIOD!!!
Mike Zackary
Right after tanking. Not much can be believed from him.
DeleteOuch! That doesn't look good now. You need to remember what you posted before so that you don't get tripped up later.
DeleteMike Z - was that your comment on June 13, 2015 at 6:04 PM?
Deleteyes or no
I didn't file on anyone. I can't I'm not a CAPTAIN!!!!!!
Deletemike zackary
everyone was complaining about Le super team. EVERYONE!!!!!
DeleteI would plead the 5th mike Z. You are incriminating yourself and looking foolish trying to deny. You definitely watch the blog as you are quick to reply to anything.
DeleteKnowing what has come out today, DID YOU EVER REPORT ANY OF TONY'S PLAYERS TO TODD READ PERSONALLY?
ReplyDeleteAnonymousJune 13, 2015 at 6:04 PM

Mike Zackary
Did Tony Le have his players self rate incorrectly? Yes or No?
DeleteYou stated you NEVER reported any of his players? Is that true? If so is Alan lying or are you lying?
ReplyDeleteDid Tony Le have his players self rate incorrectly? Yes or No? If the answer is no, then those Agulilars are liars. Is is Tony and his helpers or the Aguilars liars?
DeleteDid you report Tony's players to Reed? Yes or No. Is Alan lying if answer is no?
DeleteDepends on what your definition of "is" is.
ReplyDeleteI tried to report to Todd because there is no way anyone should beat me 3-0 in 7.0 mixed. I could not report him, so I asked my captain to. I'm sorry. I shouldn't lie on the blog. Does Dallas forgive me.
ReplyDeleteAgain, my feelings were hurt. I wanted to be on his team.
Mike Zackary
Very typical of the Dallas tennis blog. The entire thread is demonizing someone who complained about an illegal player, rather than the illegal player.
ReplyDeleteIt's not the reporting. It's the lying about it and then trying to blame other people.
DeleteExcept that it's already been explained on multiple occasions that a player can't report another player. So at least one captain reported them.
DeleteI called Todd Reed. I sent him a letter. I contacted other captains about filing grievances when I found out I couldn't. That's a lot different than I had absolutely nothing to do with it. You can be against cheating and also be against lying. I'd think you'd be against both.
DeleteThe real question is did Tony Le have them rate wrong and then have them tank? Also, who else knew about it? I know a lot just have known!!! Now that Zackary came clean it is Tony and cheats turn! It is one thing to make an accidental misrate and another to tank just to get a computer rating. Now let's come clean.
DeleteYeah that would be cute. Let's all hold hands and sing kumbaya. Get over yourself. You lost, let's see how playoffs goes.
DeleteBut a player who tanks turning in a player that illegally self rates. What's worse? He may not be a great 4.5, but Zackary should be one.
ReplyDeleteAmazing that Le's team posts more about Zackary than all the other captains post about Le. It is a big smoke screen. If the USTA had any balls they would send a message by punishing Le as the captain and mastermind behind the most blatant cheating seen in Dallas tennis. The sheer quantity and openness of the cheating is the most concerning. Basically flipping the DTA and USTA the bird as he does it. Now it seems he also has plans for next year with Huynh and others. The other captains should have been heard from but they remain quiet.
ReplyDeleteWhen competing in a USTA match, I expect for my opponent to be at my level, and that he will try to win every point and every game. Apparently there's a substantial number of opponents who are out of level because they manipulated in the past, or would not try against me in the current match because they are in the process of manipulating their rating. I have no interest in playing such a person - will not be doing league next time.
ReplyDeletewow - so much interest in average tennis players. 4.0 is awful tennis and so sloppy. Can we please change the subject?
