In accordance with a previous statement made by the Harbor Rats organization, and with the results from Tuesday’s election now fully realized, this organization has made a decision to pull an Alec Baldwin---but for real---and distance ourselves from the United States of America, middle America in particular, thus displacing our organization. At first we were simply going to change our names (the Ex-Patriots) and uniform (see below), but it was quickly brought to our attention that we are the most financially mis-managed team in the BFL and this strategy would not help us at all economically. Thus, we were forced to move to a city willing to financially support our BFL endeavors. As this may seem like a treason of sorts, let us assure you it is nothing of the kind. We love this country and would do anything to protect it. For this very reason, we feel it necessary to move our franchise off of the homeland for the period of 4 years in protest of a government that rules, in our humble opinion, through fear and prejudice. We hope this move will bring awareness that has otherwise eluded the American populace. In our eyes, this is a move that must be made.

Since our team will no longer be residing in Bal’mer, we will obviously have to change our name. At first we were looking at relocating to the youthful town of Dawson Creek in British Columbia, but we stumbled upon a certain beauty elsewhere during a layover flight. We fell in love with it. And we found our new home. Now, as we speak, the new name of our franchise is actually taken from a cottage on Prince Edward Island’s Charlotte Shore rather than an actual area. However, we are hopeful that our presence there will boost the economy, and we have the Canadian Parliament’s word that the area will be renamed by the year 2005 to coincide with our team name.

Therefore, we are very pleased to announce that for the remainder of this presidential administration our Bal’mer Harbor Rats football squad will be known as the Belle Mer Harbor Rats.

Not to worry, yes we are in Canada, but your players will not have to account for an extra ten yards of field or a lack of fair catches. Our new town has contracted the design for a new state-of-the-art stadium in 2005. Until then we will be using an altered Motreal Allouttes field (Percival Molson Memorial Stadium) for the rest of this season. Yes, it’s a bit far, but we found it more fitting with the Allouettes/Bal’mer Stallions connection and all the (mid-1990's) history there. To furthermore quell your trepidation, all travel for the remainder of this year will be paid solely by our organization and will be first class all the way. We want to make your visit to our new facilities as seamless as possible and we promise to get you oot here safe and sound and withoot the least bit of hassle.

Our best wishes upon all of you as we sincerely hope we are taking the matter at hand way to hard. We’ll see you all back in Bal’mer in 2008!



By the way, I’m obliged under contract to make the following statement: the Pittsburgh Steelers suck! I’m Aaron Beck, and I approve that message.

you could've just renamed your team The Sour Grapes, and moved on with your life.

it would've saved yourself a lot of writing, and a lot of money on travel, not to mention altering a canadian football field to fit the real-sized field that our players are accustomed to.

it would've also saved "this commissioner" (as the losing presidential candidate would've called me) an awful deal of work to change everything on the website that says Bal'mer to Belle Mer.

but as this is fantasy football, i will do my best to fulfill your sick fantasy, and to grant you of your wishes.

have fun in canada with your jason priestley, alanis morrissette, bryan adams, steve nash, barenaked ladies, uncle joey from full house, mounties, and your stupid "bacon". not sure if they'll still have hockey there, but i can gaurantee that it won't be missed down here.

You seem to forget Red Green, Neil Young, Rush and every comedian that's ever been on a late night skit show. And, by the way, Uncle Joey has massive talent. Almost as much as Keanu Reeves or Celine Dion (how'd you miss that one?!?!). And HOW DARE YOU ridicule the homeland of pornstar Peter North! Shame on you!

O Canada! Our home and native land......

You're players will also be asking for more money...hell, if a paperback costs $3 more, imagine how much you'll be paying for Holmes, Heap, Brooks, et all! Talk about mismanaging funds!

A great Canadian indeed, however K.D. Lang not only likes, but enjoys Bush even more than your average American.

Kittens deserve to die 'cause they grow and become cats, Satans' pets. Kill'em all and slap'em around a bit amd through them in the Meatlocker>:)

And for the Whiners Rats, stay in Canada and not just for 4 years or maybe go the whole way and move to France with the other sissies.......LOL>-)

With Love,

Mr. E. Meat

Hmmm, maybe now. But give it another year or two. That seal will still be around, but the words "Democratic Party" will have vanished.

Let it be known that the Rats are not Democrats, just concerned [North] American citizens. As for the French, well, I'd rather be forced to hang out with a drunk Gerard Depardieu for an hour than with our current President. Mainly because Depardieu speaks American English a little more clearly. ;)

Despite that last comment, I don't hate Bush. I hate politics and over-established religions establishing themselves as politics. Bush's main points in the televised debates:

Kerry is a flip-flopper
It's hard
It takes time

Good arguments! I think maybe as a requirement our presidents should have to have taken at least one debate class in high school.

We do seem to see eye to eye on the subject of cats, however. Good luck in Week 12. While your team should be focused on coping with a faltering economy and lack of affordable health care, we'll be kicking your ass all over our over-sized field and cracking skulls when you wave for a fair catch. So, as they say around these parts, Oui Oui on you!
