Faced with intense pressure and increased scrutiny from the press about the team's practices at the training center, Smedlock has decided to have an open Q&A with the press. Here is the transcript from that meeting earlier today:

PRESS: Over the last few months people in the community have been making complaints. Cats and dogs have gone missing and strange noises have emanated from the training facility late at night. Also many strange characters, including a West African Witch Doctor, a group of prostitutes, several different homeless looking people, and Ms Beatrice who runs a psychic hotline, have all been seen entering and leaving the training facility.

SMEDLOCK: Nothing is going on folks, no need to worry. Those people were just visitors of some of the players or there to help out with the training. I have no idea what's happening to the local cats and dogs. We are just training our young players to play good basketball at our facility.

PRESS: If nothing strange is happening, please explain the tight security around the perimeter of the facility. Many of us in the press have made attempts to enter only to be rebuffed by sinister looking security guards.

SMEDLOCK: Ah yes, the explanation for that is simple, you see we employ some cutting edge techniques to train our players. We wouldn't want one of our competitors finding out our techniques so we just don't let anyone in the place.

PRESS: Yet you let in homeless people and Ms Beatrice the psychic? What could they possibly have to do with basketball?

SMEDLOCK: It's really no big deal folks. The homeless people are probably just Connie McIntyre's relatives. You know he lives under a bridge right? His relatives are certainly allowed in the training facility. Ms Beatrice assists the training staff from time to time, it's really nothing to be concerned about

PRESS: And what about the prostitutes seen coming and going at all hours of the night, as well as the witch doctor guy.

SMEDLOCK: Ughh... um... I'm not really sure...I'll get back to you on that... next question...

PRESS: What about former Eclypze player, Barbu Popescu, and his allegations the training facility is the center of a cult and they are brainwashing the minds of Eclypze young players? What do you have to say about that?

SMEDLOCK: Oh come on! You are really going to bring Barbu into this? Everyone knows he is just worthless gypsy scum who has been bitter ever since we traded him and his brother.

PRESS: So now you are racist against gypsies? What gives Smedlock? Are you really the right owner for this team?

SMEDLOCK: I've had enough of these senseless rumors and allegations. I got better things to do like running a basketball team. End of discussion!

I think we all know what the prostitutes were there for!! I am still at a loss for Ms. Beatrices involvement! :-)
