Fan Teaser

Despite missing 2 players, and having at least 3 others very hung over, The Sportsmen brought their A-game last sunday for scrimmage night. Here's a quick clip of our mad skills. (we're skins in this video)


That's right mpls- expect a lot more of that from the sportsmen this year.

Team Logo

The infamous Natalie Schaefer designed the team logo this year. Even if we don't win a single game, we will definately be the best looking team out there. Thanks Nat!

Hey, We're A Real Team

So the commissioner's office finally got all of our paperwork notarized and we are now officially members of the Sunday night D-League (a capital D to signify the very Difficult competition).

The schedule mistakenly refers to us as The Sportsman instead of Sportsmen, but I'm sure after everyone sees our skills, they'll know what to call us. The very easy to read schedule is listed below. I'll make it more legible later.


Opening week is December 7th- first official game is the 13th. More details to come...

The Team Has Rebutted!

After extensive conversations and a few pysical altercations, a new team name has been chosen. In the wake of voter fraud, we felt it was only fair to go with the team name that recieved the most votes behind the 2 controversial leaders- and so The Sportsmen it is!!!



Congrats Natty Ice and Z Unit, you helped name MPLS's best team since the Lynx!


The forms are being filed, video profiles will be up next week, and we expect a big turnout for our first game. We're still waiting on that sponsorship... http://www.sportsmanspub.com/ ehem.


Stay posted.
