As much as I love logic-grid puzzles, this one was about as simple as they can be.
For constructive criticism... Avoid positive information - allow us to infer the positives, based on things that are not true. Also, don't put all the answers on the diagonals in the logic grid solver pop-up (though I don't know if that should be directed at the author or the editors).

i know it was easy i made it that way just to start off but i plan to put more on here and make them a little more difficult but thanks honest but nice complements are always welcomed and wanted thanks, and the logic grid was the editors not me
That's cool... Shame about the formatting of the grid. I look forward to your future additions - there are far too few logic-grid puzzles on here. Maybe I'll make some up some day, too.
I was glad to see someone added a new teaser. I found it to be easy but for a first try it was good. The editors shouldn't have put the answers at the diagonal and I didn't even need to fill in the bottom portion of the grid to get the right answers. Good work, keep it up and keep em coming! I look forward to your next entry!

Neither Joseph nor Anthony brought the ball or clothes (1). Neither brought the doll (2). Therefore, one brought the game and one brought the card. We can rule out the possibilities of them having brought any of the other three -- ball, clothes or doll. So it is not necessary to state in (4) that Brian did not bring the game or card. We already know they were brought by either Joseph or Anthony.

Lots of fun! Keep the teasers coming!
The Logic Grid patterns are all the same.
very easy, you gave all the answers in your clues, and didn't leave anything to deduce. Keep trying though, I respect anyone who can write a good teaser!
Gtregay, don't be hard on hcut3. He did a fine job at this. I'm not saying that you can't say complaints, it's just keep it cool and chillax.
Lets play a game of he said she said. haha that's what clue #5 reminded me of.
Nice teaser though.
