Off season preparations

As pre-season camp looks to open in sunny southern California in June, one cant help but count down until opening day in Los Angeles, waiting to hear the sound of the rubber smacking against the face of the opposition, or see the "big man" move like he's as light as a feather. I bet you wonder what the old Mulisha boys are doing now that they have departed while you sit here and wait for the triumphant comeback of "the Guardian". Reminiscing of the old Mulisha glory days, Faas and Byrne still keep close ties in their off season homes in Temecula California in front of wide screen LCD TVs playing grueling matches of Soul caliber, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Gears of war 2, and even Left For Dead. "It is the best way for us to sit back relax and remember what once was" says Byrne, "the games bring back the momories of us two working together to beat down the opposition." Although these two, once one force on the court, may never touch the hardwood side by side again, they still keep up their old training ways together. "Jerry has me studying films, taking hill runs with him, lifting, eating the proper nutrition, and practicing still every day almost. Its good to know he still cares even though he's not out there anymore. I feel like he'll always be that 7th man on the court" said Faas. "Well what of Bernad?" you ask. "We still hear from him and see him from time to time, about once a month or so. He's living the beach style life now and rarely has time between sets to come home. We try to make the most of it when he gets here though since we know it will be a long while until we see 'Salsa Fresca' again" tells Byrne. The boys stay pretty tight in the off season even now that their roster has taken separate journeys in life, and it's an ever evident sign of how the boys all seemed to have such good chemistry in the game they once played together.
