Rumor Central
John C was spotted entering the five star Andy's Sports Bar with Albany Funding GM Ben Ho tonight in what appeared to be a high level meeting. Jo Ho's late appearance added to persistent rumors indicating the dissolution of AF. It is suspected John C was negotiating with Ben Ho for the services of some of the AF players.
It is unknown who John C covets from the Albany Funding roster, but internal DPH leaks indicate he is seeking outfield depth. Insiders also maintain John C is not entirely satisfied with the overall makeup of the DPH and is determined to resolve "deficiencies" that-strangely-may actually include himself.
We caught up with John C on his way to his car. When asked if his meeting with Ben Ho was business related, John C quipped "Ben and I are friends...besides, nobody cooks a steak like Andy's...I love coming here..." Ben Ho was also asked for a comment on the meeting. His response was a terse "Thank you...I have to go now..." Jo Ho refused to comment and pushed away our reporter. She quickly ducked into her car and sped away.
John C did state, however, that there will be a major press event tomorrow at noon. Although he was not specific about the intent of the press conference, it is believed the DPH roster will finally be made public. We will post a live transcript of the events tomorrow starting at Noon.

Rumor Central
Our intrepid reporters continue to pursue what is believed to be an important developing situation regarding the DPH. Suspicions were further reinforced when John C arrived at DPH offices early this morning to "deal with lingering issues..." When pressed for more information, he was surprisingly receptive to our queries.
Asked if the team was trying to land another big free agent, John C stated "You guys know I'll do whatever it takes to ensure DPH preeminence--especially if it means bringing in good people..." When the topic of vacating his GM position was cited, John C proffered a response suitable for his rising megalomania: "L'équipe, c'est moi!"
We will continue monitoring the situation...

Rumor Central
The recent spate of DPH roster delays has enveloped the team in a whirlwind of new rumors. "I don't like this...this is a waste of my time. Don't you guys have anything better to do?" snapped GM John C when questioned on his way to the 28th Annual Gala celebration at the Troy Music Hall. "There's nothing to it...this is my time! Go pester somebody else with your insanity!" was the last quote coerced out of John C before he was escorted into the historic Music Hall.
Despite staunch denials from John C, insiders maintain the recent roster delays are caused by major changes either within the organization or on the DPH roster. Our insider lacked detailed information, but was confident that current high level meetings were indicative of something important.
Speculation regarding organizational structure has floated around for years with John C demanding a promotion to CEO. Some believe a new GM has been hired and John C will receive his coveted promotion. Other rumors suggest the team has acquired another high profile/high salaried free agent...the names bandied about suggest a high maintenance type player.

DPH Rumor Central
Persistent rumors suggesting the DPH made another important acquisition and that the team is close to finalizing the roster have been reluctantly confirmed by GM John C. "I would say yes, your sources are correct--the roster is almost complete." Insiders say it's only a matter of contract language regarding performance bonuses.
John C refused to reveal the identities of the players preferring a grand unveiling of the roster. Other rumors imply the roster could impact several teams in the league. John C neither confirmed nor denied the rumor stating "I don't know what other people are thinking; clairvoyance isn't my strong point. I'm only concerned with building a team." He also added "I guess there could be some surprises in there..."
Insiders maintain the roster has key members from previous DPH squads and has been rounded out by important players from other teams. Reports further indicate other teams are pursuing key DPH personnel. When pressed for confirmation John C angrily asked "where do you guys get this stuff?!!!" while ducking into his car.
The roster is expected to be released sometime this week.
Other reports indicate the team could have a new logo. Several designs are expected and polling will help determine the replacement.
