There have been a lot of rumors surrounding a certain former commish and potential mishandling of playoffs from the past. Luckily, we here at the Grizzled Gazette have locked in an exclusive interview to tell the tale.
Grizzled Gazette - "Hello there [name redacted]. How has life been going since your run as commissioner?"
Former Commish - "Life sucks. I'm out of weed and my dealer is in Nashville currently, but my current run as a GM is certainly going better than my last few and I've lost a pretty good bit of weight."
GG - "Wow that's incredible, how have you lost so much weight?"
FC - "I feed only on the souls of my victims. Very filling and low in calories."
GG - "Nice"
FC - "Yeah..."
GG - "Well anyway, who gives a shit about that? We're here to discuss the rumors of you fixing a finals series in the early 3000s."
FC - "I don't know what you're talking about."
GG - "Come on, [name redacted] no one believes the Pistons actually won that series..."
FC - "Yes they did. Bet."
GG - "....."
FC - "FINE! Here's what happened."
FC - "I was a very green commish. The idiosyncrasies of the software hadn't really made themselves known yet. And, ultimately, I was just curious and foolish."
GG - "go on"
FC - "So the playoffs progress naturally and the reigning champs (Jazz) met the Pistons in the finals and the series was tied at 3-3. Then I simmed. And the Jazz won 150-74 (true story).
GG - "but that isn't what you uploaded..."
FC - "Correct. But i did output the files from that sim to upload later. Before that, however, I wanted to see how many tries it would take the Pistons to win game 7. The correct answer is 13. It took them 13 tries to win game 7.
GG - "Wow, the Jazz must have been pretty legit."
FC - "They were, and its not like that Pistons squad with Brain Winter and Paul Westpaul wasn't, the Jazz were just better."
GG - "So what exactly happened? The Jazz won but you uploaded boxes where the Pistons won."
FC - "Fun thing about the software, when you sim boxes are exported automatically, but at the time I didn't know that. I just kept on simming and the boxes just kept on being overwritten without my knowledge."
GG - "Oh shit.."
FC - "Yeah dude, you see where this is going. So instead of uploading everything when I was ready for the game 7 reveal I just uploaded the one box and posted it in shout."
GG - "Fuck"
FC - "Suddenly shout took a turn that I was not expecting. Everyone was reacting to the Pistons winning. How could this be? I never exported those boxes. Not knowing what the fuck was going on I panicked and just uploaded everything from when the Pistons won. It wasn't until a few weeks later that I figured out exactly what happened there."
GG - "That's intense dude."
FC - "Yeah, it was nuts."
GG - "Why did you choose now to come clean about it?"
FC - "For the dump bucks, obviously..."
Well that's the end of the interview folks. I hope you enjoyed the read.
