[UPDATE. Ultiworld Retracts Story About] The Time When Skyd Magazine Offered to Buyout Ultiworld
UPDATED [8:51pm]
Skyd Magazine's Editor Liam Rossen provided their side of this story via reddit:
-----------
[Originally posted on 8:11am]
Ultiworld just celebrated 5 years and took a trip down memory lane in their anniversary Deep Look podcast [July 14, 2017]. Original collaborators Charlie Eisenhood and Wes Cronk discussed their recollections of building their simple website plus a business offer unknown until now.
The gist is then-Skyd-reporter-now-Ultiworld-supporter Bryan Jones on behalf of Skyd Magazine emailed Ultiworld a buyout offer - after just 2 weeks after their launch.
From the podcast [start @ 6:30]
Wes: We got this offer from Skyd....it was no more than 10 or $11,000...$11,000 was something I could see young 'us' biting at. ... There's no way you sell for less than six figures, right?
Charlie: Two weeks in!
Wes: ...You have spent five years doing this. I think that the fun and satisfaction of those 5 years are worth more than that 10K would be to you now.
Charlie: Oh yeah. I don't think we ever had a conversation with Skyd.... We're two weeks old and we have a garbage Wordpress site slapped together. I won't lie. ... I'm a competitive person. And, I was out to beat Skyd in every way possible.

This is incorrect.Ultiworld's Charlie has since confirmed the deal specifics as discussed on the podcast were not accurate.
In 2012, Bryan reached out to Charlie to talk about partnering and the Ultiworld reporters potentially joining the Skyd team, as we often did to new ultimate blogs that popped up (that's how we got No Look Scoober [Bryan] and Inside Breaks [Neeley and Joaq] in the beginning).
We never made any sort of offer to buy out Ultiworld at that time, and we certainly never had "$10 or $11000" floating around to even entertain that possibility.
Correction: I just looked up the email (from Bryan Jones) in my inbox and there was never any kind of financial offer discussed for a buyout of Ultiworld by Skyd. There was the desire to “make [Ultiworld] an offer to join up” with Skyd, but, as I said on the podcast, I don’t think that was ever actually discussed (although I honestly do not remember). I think Wes and I just misremembered the specifics of what actually happened there. Although we did talk about six figures being the selling price 😂. Apologies for the error.

Rumble Cup Saga
Evan Lepler chronicled this story in Week 15's Tuesday Toss. Below is a reprint of Lepler's story.
By beating the Royal in the final meeting of the regular season, the Rush retained the "Rumble Cup," a trophy that the two franchises have exchanged as a symbol of the rivalry. As Toronto GM Scott "Shooter" Hastie revealed on Twitter, it was clutch that the Rush took care of business, because the transfer of the trophy would have been difficult considering that Raina had absentmindedly forgot to bring it to the game.
Raina explained what happened. "Shooter's tweet is accurate," he admitted.
"I woke up late from a nap prior to our game and in my haste to get ready, I left the cup on the mantle. So in the huddle before the game, I reminded the guys of the importance of the matchup and then added 'Also, we have to win this game because I left the Cup at home!' Not quite 'Win one for the Gipper,' but it got the job done so I'm sure Knute Rockne would approve.”
One wonders if Raina’s girlfriend and housemate was rooting for the Royal on Saturday, as she apparently is not a fan of the Cup being prominently displayed in their shared home.
"The Cup proudly sits on the mantle in our house mainly because my girlfriend hates it," said Raina. "It stayed there all of the last offseason and the plan is to keep it there indefinitely. She tries to take it down every now and then, but I always put it back."
The Rush and Royal match up two more times in the 2017 AUDL season.
Though I'll refrain from offering any relationship advice, I will note that the Rumble Cup could be at stake again before long if the Royal can find their way into a matchup with the Rush in the playoffs. If that transpired, the Cup would have more riding on it than ever before.

Lucky because Sacin forgot it on his mantle.
