If you have read Branches new column, you may have noticed bullet point number 5. 
5.) Don’t be a dick. While winning is the ultimate goal, it isn’t fun to play with a cut throat attitude. Just take it easy, and have fun. You don’t have to have every call go your way, and at the end of the day, you will make more friends just having fun.
A user clicking the “every call go your way” link was then brought to the Diablo’s team page, a tasteless jab at their style of play and sportsmanship. Those close to Diablo’s captain Jim Noel reported his reaction to the indiscretion, “I’m going to *bleeping* kill that little *bleep*.
Mike Raber, faithful two-a-day sauna user at West Hills Athletic club has reported a red faced Noel violently beating a punching bag with a crude sharpie drawn silhouette of Branch’s face. “Jim looked mad, real mad. After one session he came into the locker room and accidently saw a bent-over, wrinkly naked man. This is a common occurance at the facility, and most just look away… Noel did not. He went right over and kicked that old man right in the droopy skin bags. I don’t think this kind of anger is healthy.” I tried to reach Noel for comment, but every time the phone picks up all I can hear is what sounds like a pissed of black bear. For a while I was trying to decipher the snorts and snarls, but I’ve had no luck. One thing for sure, Branch is soon to be at the receiving end of all of this. Soon 911 dispatch will be taking all the calls.
