MBT Goes Pro

[superhornet]

HornetSports is reporting that former Hornet QB Mcleod Bethel-Thompson has signed with the San Jose SaberCats, joining WR Fred Amey and HC Darren Arbet. MBT joins a loaded QB corps featuring longtime SaberCat star Mark Grieb and former Cal standout Nate Longshore, who is well-known to Hornet fans.

What the SaberCat press release didn't mention is they were only taking two QB's into the season and MBT was signed to a short term deal thru the first exhibition game in Utah after working out with the team for about a month. Yesterday, MBT found out he will back up Grieb and Longshore was cut. :clap:

Somebody's not taking care of the SaberCats' website.

Per the AFL site, Longshore was cut as newfan said.

However, per the SaberCats' site, the QBs are Grieb and Longshore, and MBT is NOT on the roster. Of course, NOBODY has assigned numbers, not even ten-year veteran Grieb.

This should just be the shortcomings of the PR department. The league wouldn't report a transaction that has not indeed occurred. I wonder how long it will take for the Hornet to unseat the Aggie, though.

:rofl:

Dude, why do you live and die by what and how often what a team website says?
