Remembering a Friend
« on: December 27, 2022, 09:07:11 PM »
Life is complicated and there are times when reality confronts us in a most disturbing way.  Sometimes things happen suddenly and we are left with a void in our lives.  Although I am no longer an active member of the ProFSL community, I felt compelled to offer my condolences. 

I didn?t really know Papps personally, but I got to interact with him throughout my years as a member of the ProFSL community.

Like many of us involved in fantasy sports, there are times when we have a meeting of the minds, engage in healthy competition, and try our best to finish ahead of our competitors.  Papps was a master of negotiation.  He always presented his options in the best possible light, but was always fair.  Papps was never afraid to take a chance and always had a competitive team. That said, he never missed an opportunity to to voice his opposition to something that was detrimental to his team or the league.  By the same token, he provided a lot of insights to make ProFSL, and FGM, a better place for all.

On a personal note, Papps provided me with a lot of support.  When I was ill, he offered his best wishes for a speedy recovery.  When I popped off and sent a poison PM or acted up, he offered me an avenue to redeem myself, a way back.  When I decided to leave ProFSL, he thanked me for my work and wished me future success.  He was always a class act and he affected me in a very positive way.

So, although I didn?t know him personally, I was saddened to hear of his passing. He was truly a unique individual and was a well respected member of the ProFSL community.  My condolences to his family and to those who knew him here on ProFSL.  He will truly be missed. 

With this, I would be remiss if I did not offer my condolences to the family of jojowalkwalk.  It is always sad to lose a family member and I wish his family the best.  I lost my parents many years ago and they are always in my heart.  For Daddy, and the rest of his family, keep yourselves  afloat by relying on the good times you shared. 

May these two loving people Rest In Peace.

    Yesterday at 08:58:43 PM

  • Rhino7: @Daddy, thanks for what you said lol. It was the ultimate challenge to beat JWalkerjr88 last season, I wanted my path to go through him so it makes my title run that much better! I just wanted to get to the SB and figured at that point anything can happen and lucky for me, my boys had enough left to take out BAB. Live is the most challenging league I’m in and most fun, so thanks for what you all do to make it that way.

  • Rhino7: Appreciate it, your team is solid. I expect to see you make another run
    Yesterday at 10:46:37 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: You did well Rhino. I appreciate the battle. The loss didnt sting more because i was undefeated, i know fully that being undefeated in the reg season doesnt mean anything in the playoffs. When rhino and i played this past season, the better team won.
    Yesterday at 10:58:04 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: This next year im coming full force. So far my pattern is win a chip every other year. Lets keep the streak going!!
    Yesterday at 10:58:35 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: im coming back too
    Yesterday at 11:02:00 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: lets see if my team performs like last yr
    Yesterday at 11:02:10 PM
  • Daddy: Well.. if im undefeated heading into the NFC Title game & I lose. I may beat up my neighbor. I dont like that guy anyway.
    Yesterday at 11:07:13 PM
  • Daddy: I hate losing. Especially when its the biggest moments. I hate my teams i root for to lose. I really hate for the teams i built myself to lose.
    Yesterday at 11:08:50 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: I dont like losing ever. But a loss is a loss. Im pissed either way
    Yesterday at 11:09:47 PM
  • Braves155: Are you also a perfectionist in your everyday life?
    Yesterday at 11:10:05 PM
  • Daddy: Im not a perfectionist in my dynasty life. I make all kinds of bad trades and make all kinds of mistakes.
    Yesterday at 11:10:51 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: If i traded all my picks to a division rival in a rebuild and he beat me in the title game with Desmond ridder or lose undefeated. Its all a loss at the end of the day
    Yesterday at 11:11:08 PM
  • Daddy: Nobody is right all the time. Its the beauty of sports.
    Yesterday at 11:11:13 PM
  • Daddy: Beat me with Desmond Ridder and i trade for Desmond Ridder.

  • Daddy: It helps to know sports but ive signed guys ive never heard of like SP Dallas Kuechel. Nobody knew who he was. I saw he earned a spot. I took a chance. A couple years later the dude wins the Cy Young.
    Yesterday at 11:14:05 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: 3 out of the 4 starting QBs in the title games have been traded this offseason
    Yesterday at 11:14:21 PM
  • Daddy: I think i had him on a prospect deal.
    Yesterday at 11:14:22 PM
  • Daddy: It helps just to fill up your roster and sign good contracts. If you dont know crap but keep a full roster and manage finances, you will kick ass.
    Yesterday at 11:15:26 PM
  • Daddy: I wasnt a genius signing Kuechel. I was just filling an empty spot. I got rewarded with the best pitcher in baseball for a few seasons.
    Yesterday at 11:16:59 PM
  • Braves155: I love it when one of your Dynasty teams you've been rebuilding starts showing up and being competitive early in the season. Especially in baseball
    Yesterday at 11:19:42 PM
  • Brent: Agreed.  I'm decent at building, but I need to get better st winning.  I did win an offsite 32-team football league, it only took me 1.5 season to rebuild and win.
    Yesterday at 11:25:50 PM
  • Daddy: Thats what you should be doing @Brent. LIVE sharpens those skills so you can go elsewhere and dominate unsuspecting leagues.
    Today at 12:01:29 AM
  • Daddy: I use the same screen name on every site. So the sites I'm visiting/competing, know who is putting foots to them.
    Today at 12:02:47 AM
  • Daddy: And they know where they can find me. Along with the growing list of LIVE GMs who would put more foots to them.
    Today at 12:03:48 AM
  • Daddy: If "Daddy" appears on your site. He wears a size 13 and you know it.
