Gentlemen! I've heard a lot of rumors floating about. Rumors that we're merging with the Outlws; that I'm folding the team. There have been no such discussions! I find it interesting that these rumors are out there, but I, the OWNER, haven't been made privy to any such discussions.

So that there are no questions:

WE ARE NOT MERGING WITH THE OUTLAWS! If some of their former players want to try out for the '09 season, they are more than welcome to do so. If their staff or coaches want to interview for positions, they may do so as well.

I AM NOT FOLDING THE TEAM! Last season someone started that rumor in efforts to lure Rage players to play for them. They even went so far as to tell perspective Rage players who appeared at the wrong place for try outs that they WERE the Rage. We know where that got them.

In sum NO MERGER AND THE O RAGE WILL BE IN EXISTENCE IN 2009!
