After nearly 60 years of losing to the Harlem Globetrotters, the Washington Generals are out as an opponent for the world famous basketball team.

John Ferrari, the GM of the Washington Generals got the call from the Globetrotters saying they were done.  See the entire MSN article HERE.  I actually had a chance to play with the Generals against the Globetrotters at Five Flags in Dubuque in the 1990's. I only had a few minutes of playing time but that was okay with me.  I was 1 for 2 at the free throw line.  It was fun even though we loss the game.  Losing for the Generals was nothing new...in fact when facing the Globetrotters, the Generals lost every game but one.  That win came in 1971.  So the next time you see the Globetrotters play, you'll see the same crazy antics and tom foolery....but this time the butt of their jokes will be a team other than the Washington Generals.
