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.

  • Daddy: Honestly idk why the NBA doesn't do it that way for expanding. Two teams at a time. Expansion draft to amateur draft. I think the idea is fresh and its execution will be pretty dope. ;)
    Today at 12:25:15 AM
  • jimw: I think the NBA goes one team at a time to give the one team a better talent pool in the expansion draft and also to keep the teams from complaining about losing more players
    Today at 01:25:47 AM
  • Daddy: Thats fair
    Today at 01:27:48 AM
  • BayAreaBallers: that makes sense
    Today at 01:32:38 AM
  • Daddy: I mean they only losing one guy anyway tho. We expose 10 players, protect 5 players, each team, all 30 will lose one player.
    Today at 01:36:30 AM
  • Daddy: The expansion teams will then both have 15 players heading into the amateur draft with picks #1 & #2.
    Today at 01:37:43 AM
  • Daddy: Each other team will still have 14 players and one first round pick.
    Today at 01:38:26 AM
  • Daddy: They need to hire me is what they need to do :rofl:
    Today at 01:38:53 AM
  • Daddy: Yeah you lose a guy to the expansion draft. Likely your 6th man. Then the very next day you draft his replacement and keep it moving.
    Today at 01:40:25 AM
  • STLBlues91: Daddy quick question in your messages
    Today at 01:44:14 AM
  • Daddy: We are good to go.:toth:
    Today at 02:01:09 AM
  • jimw: I think in the Bobcat expansion each team could protect 8 players. And I think the bobcats has to take at least 14 so half the league didn't even lose a player.

  • Daddy: A message to our newest members: its easy to get lost in information. Ive brought people on profsl and had to teach them how to post and move on the site.
    Today at 12:54:00 PM
  • Daddy: Sometimes that takes a couple days, sometimes weeks, sometimes months. The only requirement of being a LIVE GM is effort & participation. Not necessarily trading but the operations of your franchise.
    Today at 12:55:34 PM
  • Daddy: Retain players, acquire players in FA, manage your cap, dont feel pressure but take your time & learn, grow in dynasty fantasy by maximum observation and minimum nerves.

  • Daddy: Not being able to come immediately on profsl and function isnt a knock on your intelligence. This site is 271 years old. We can teach ya how to navigate it. What we cant teach you is passion for sports. Casual fans need not apply. Thats what draft kings is for.

    Today at 01:25:20 PM
  • Daddy: And if you are a current member.. and you arent in a LIVE league... What is it you could possibly be looking for HERE on a dynasty fantasy platform... That LIVE DOESNT HAVE? What does your profsl league do better or offer that LIVE does not?
    Today at 01:31:49 PM
  • Daddy: You like being part of the committees? Try being a mod. You like the entertainment of your league chat???? What brings you here? If its not the love of sports and wanting to be entertained in a well run league, then why do you come here at all?
