The NextRound.net Update:

All you faithful out there can go ahead and take one step back from the ledge. We’re back. We thought we’d do that thing where we kind of disappear and act all aloof for a little while, you know, just to get you to appreciate us more. It’s the same move we pull with the ladies. They gobble it up.

But seriously, we got back from our short hiatus to Sin City where we once again successfully kicked Vegas in the balls, stole its wallet, and slept with its girlfriend. Makin’ It Rain Straight PacMan Jones Style. Vegas didn’t even see it coming. We had to takemaking it rain a few extra days off.

But really, seriously, the Team took an unusually long time to recover from this year’s trip, so that’s to blame for the lack of content recently. We apologize and we’ll put in whatever work necessary to win you back (this is a little more like how it goes with the ladies). For starters, we’re jazzing things up on the site a little.

Over the last month we’ve introduced several subtle changes to the NextRound multi-user pages which have streamlined them further. Keep a look out because there’s a lot more to come. (Not so subtle hint: supporting our advertisers will help expedite this process.)

And starting today, StillAwesome has undergone a face lift. We’re going to have increased regularly appearing “blog-like” content. We’ll be looking for submittals and suggestions, so click the “submit content” link on the upper left hand side of StillAwesome to throw some our way. (In case you were wondering, we do realize it is a bit hypocritical for us to start a blog since we’ve kind of crapped on blogs in the past. We said something like “blogging reminds us of pooping.” But apparently this blogging thing is not just a fad, like apparently this internet thing is not just a fad, and just like apparently college girls being less interested in us as we get older is not just a fad either. Moral of the story: Start checking out StillAwesome more often because of the increased content.) We’re going to have a comments capability available soon as well.

So Month Three of the NextRound.net experiment has passed by and things remain pretty status quo. Maske and Booth are still marketing like madmen (handing out koozies), the site continues to get better, and Team Cool & Tough continues to grow exponentially awesomer with every passing day.

Speaking of which…

The Team Cool & Tough Update:

Every month we highlight the latest happenings of everyone’s favorite crew of socially challenged twentysomething dudes. In quasi-chronological order, things that went down last month:

• Big Slim resurrected the always crowd pleasing 10 Ways to be the Funny Guy at Work list. We unanimously decided bragging about owning a gun is cool.

• We mourned Anna Nicole by debating whether Playboy Anna Nicole or TrimSpa Anna Nicole was hotter. Turns out it’s a toss up. Steve Irony had his own personal farewell ceremony. We won’t get into details.

• Booth once again attempted to excite the Team with news of a poker tournament that would be going on while we were in Vegas. Once again he was completely ignored.

• Big Sexy and Steve Irony (who co-own a fantasy football team featuring the chosen one, Ladanian Tomlinson) started emailing death threats to Chargers’ GM AJ Smith after the hiring of Norv “Winning Isn’t Everything” Turner.

• Tom Brady knocked up two hot chicks in a six week span spawning a long debate on whether this was unlucky or not and whether the whole thing makes you now want to trade lives with Tom Brady more or less than before. It was around a 60/40 split.

• Steve Irony did his best to correlate his life (and super sperm capabilities) to Tom Brady’s, but just about everybody failed to see any similarities.

• We planned for Vegas by 1) Getting heated over whether or not we’re too old to pack liquor bottles in our suitcases, 2) Figuring out who had to share rooms with the group’s notorious bed pee-ers, 3) Annoying the shit out of every person we know with an Adderall prescription, and 4) Officially determining that cheating on your fiance (whether at random or with a professional) while on the Vegas trip does not predetermine that you will be a bad husband.

• Dealers confirmed it was like NBA All Star Weekend all over again with us in town.
