A shoot for Comedy Central's Straight Plan for the Gay Man was filmed at Paintball Arena, this past November 2003. The episode, which features a "gay hipster named Roger" who wants to see what it's like being a jock, is trained by the Flab Four experts in Straightdom to play basketball and the ultimate sport: paintball. We provided the bad guys who get vanquished in the end.

Yes, they described us as a pro team. No need to quibble. ;)
IT'S A BOY!
Kim and I are proud to announce Matthew Ryan Pennino, born July 2004!
Matt had a rough time in the womb, which kept me out of the NPPL Tampa and Denver events.
But the little guy is now doing great, and I'm BACK.

FROM THE DOGS:
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO TRIED OUT.
NEW PLAYERS FOR 2005 WILL BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY.
2004 season
4 and 4 at NPPL Huntington Beach and Tampa.
A poor showing at Denver and some other issues resulted in the Dogs pulling out of the remaining 04 NPPL events to reevaluate the status of the team.
Tryouts were held in December 04, five new members of the team were added, and we restructured for 2005.
2004 HUNTINGTON BEACH
Incredibly, the NPPL Super 7 World Series event #1 was even better than last year. There had to be over 100,000 spectators checking out the paintball scene over the course of the weekend. And the new turf was a big improvement over playing on the sand. We played 3 and 1 on Friday but finished 1 and 3 on Saturday, missing the Division 1 play offs.
