The Codgers Board of Directors are investigating claims that one of its teams has been holding tryouts outside of the league's regularly scheduled evaluation sessions. On The Water, a member of their D2 division, is the team in question. Witnesses claim that OTW held a secret tryout with an as yet un-named recruit. The team faces unspecified penalties.A spokesperson for On The Water responded to our reporter's request for a comment:
At a recent (sanctioned) practice for our team we noticed a bystander intensely watching us.We felt that in the Codger's spirit of Fun and Friendship (TM) it was only natural for us to invite them to join the fun.We (obviously) had every intention of informing the rest of the league of our rating for the potential recruit,once we worked out some details with their agent.
An alert witness was able to film the entire incident and submitted the video to a Codgers' board member. They claim that members of OTW chased them to their car demanding they hand over their phone. The video can be seen below - click on the image. You be the judge.
