About the Owner

Jason Stein is a recent graduate of the University at Buffalo's Graduate School of Education. He holds a BA and MA in History from the same institution. An awesome Social Studies teacher, Mr. Stein is currently on the hunt for a position in that same vocation. He also is noted for being perhaps the greatest person to have ever lived. He also is the co-editor of the "National Journal of Truth," a campus newspaper that contains more truth than any of the other rags of lies there. He took over the talent-bereft team on June 7, 2008.

About the Team

Franchise Struggles

Cheektowaga & Diamonds were placed in a division that was far too superior for their lack of talent. Seeing this, Mr. Stein decided to gut the roster and replace everyone with players under the age of 21. As of August 15, 2008, the squad has only one player over the age of 20. The team has only managed to win one game, and has only drawn even once during a domestic friendly.

After a 4-0 loss to Latvian squad SK GVJ on July 16, 2008, the Diamonds fired coach Edward Faust and replaced him with Portugal's Ruben Nobre.

Franchise Firsts

Cheektowaga & Diamonds made their debut in an international away friendly against Spanish squad Ciudad Real 2006 on June 11, 2008. The far superior Spanish team unloaded their frustrations on the Diamonds by a score of 9-0

• Their first cup match was played on June 19, 2008, with the Diamonds falling 5-0 to Fuquay FC.

• On June 23, 2008, Clifford Sheehan registered Cheektowaga's first goal in an 11-1 embarassment against Demolition FC.

• On June 26, 2008, Cheektowaga registered its first draw and first shutout in a 0-0 draw in a friendly against Greenspoint.

• On July 30, 2008, Cheektowaga won its first match on a trip to Costa Rica. The 5-0 victory over Astra Rocket created a wild, frenzied celebration in Cheektowaga. Heavy intoxication, multiple arrests, looting, and several women being impregnated resulted. The final tally saw 23 arrested, 4 dead, and 1 giant plastic kielbasa consumed.
