I had some lore with Anton Forsberg too! I bought him out because I thought 3.3m was too much money. He ended up starting a few games to end the season and then I believe he went to Chicago. He ended up going for something crazy like 14m per in the offseason. Sharks won him. Owner sold Sharks and bought Wild. Wild traded for that albatross. Wild dropped him in the middle of the supplemental draft, when they weren't even up to draft, and I took him. Wild GM is still paying 5.2m for the next 2 yrs while he is hanging out in my minors. Worst contract ever handed out in this league and its probably not close.

I started with the Blues here and one of my favorite picks I made with them was D Esa Lindell in the 4th round. I had no idea he would be anything, but I did make a trade with Ripper for him to come to Edmonton. I even made that trade before he ever made it to the league. Pretty good return on investment on this player. That is why drafting is fun, because you never know where you will find the next contributor to your franchise.

BB is also a longtime GM here.

I took a trip back in time and looked up the Anton Forsberg free agent bidding. WOW. 66million bid!!!!

Then seems the new Sharks owner unloaded the Forsberg contract back to the same guy who bid up Forsberg.

But to trade for a $13.2m cap hit only to drop him a few months later. WOW again.

It's true Forsberg looked like he would get a chance to start but he wasn't a lock by any stretch.

My story isn't directly about FNHL but about my BY experience. Still involves FNHL indirectly.

I think I was in BY for all of a week or 2 when I first joined Profsl. I didn't reply to a PM for 5-7 days and got kicked out by Drew for not being active enough for his precious BY. You could tell the guy had too much time and no family, definitely no kids or a house. All I could do was laugh. My guess is the guy actually created spawn now and understand he was premature with his decision. From what I hear he disappears for stretches now. Karma. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Sounds a little extreme to be shown the door after just joining a league. I've been in leagues where GMs fight and argue constantly about stuff like rules that are written and spelled out for all. Then you realize it's some 20 something who thinks raging on others is the way to make a point.

A personal pet peeve is GMs who complain about reply times to emai/PM/trade offers, then they take way longer if you ever happen to send them communication/trade offer. Weird entitlement thing I guess.

Stuff like that takes away from the enjoyment of fantasy. I stopped a few years ago and stepped back from several long time leagues where people were getting petty and telling each other how they were offended by this and that and challenging things left and right. The worst is when people start bringing their personal lives into fantasy sports. Pay for therapy like the rest of the adult population. Oblivious to the fact maybe my real world stuff is way more complex than theirs and involves dollar amts that are not on the same level as theirs (happens when you're in leagues with 20 somethings or early 30 somethings) and to just park their personal issues at the login screen.

My pledge to any league I join is expect to see me go for the title immediately. Expect me to respect your messages if you show respect for mine. Expect trade offers from my team, but if you need days and weeks to think it over, that's fine just don't expect me to wait around with the same offer from last month. Expect me to have an opinion (respectful) and don't expect a push over because that makes for a weak and easy league. If you disrespect my fantasy team with lopsided trade offers, expect me to return the favour. I do not bring my personal life, religion nor politics to a league and I don't want to hold hands in side-by-side bathroom stalls.  :toast:

How does this indirectly involve FNHL?

Well, all I can say is after that regrettable encounter with Drew, I appreciate how professional and mature PR & PPG are in this league. People seem to get it here. Play hard but relax and don't let stuff wind you up.

Then seeing how Drew used commish privileges to retroactively adjust his lineup numerous times to win matchups just made a lot of us question those FNHL champions. It did for me. Maybe that huge Anton Forsberg BO cap hit is bad karma slapping the face of that Minnesota Wild franchise.

That’s some laundry

He was good until they realized he couldn't stop a beach ball. He is getting a proper pay from me, NOTHING. LOL

  • Daddy: Nice trade boyz (Jim/Brent) congratulations to you both!
    Today at 12:48:24 PM
  • Daddy: @Jim yo ass is an amazing baseball GM. Football must not be your sport. Watching you build these Cardinals from scratch is high high level gm Crap. Keep doing ya thing.
    Today at 12:58:17 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: meant to say night not nightmare lol
    Today at 02:11:50 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: hows everyone doing
    Today at 02:11:58 PM
  • Daddy: @BAB :toth:
    Today at 02:31:18 PM
  • Daddy: I sent Brian a trade offer on profsl, he cussed me out via text and told me to stop smoking so much marijuana :rofl:
    Today at 02:32:51 PM
  • Rhino7: So by winning NCAAF you are guaranteed a team, do you boot someone to make room or what? I’m just speaking as if all GMs were actually active.
    Today at 03:09:13 PM
  • Daddy: In my experience there is always "someone" that should be booted. They dont get booted because most leagues struggle at filling membership. NFL LIVE is so popular i could legit have an NFL LIVE 2 and it would be filled instantly.
    Today at 03:12:51 PM
  • Daddy: Doing that would diminish what NFL LIVE is. Which is why we created NCAA. NCAA supports those wanting an NFL LIVE franchise but cannot get in because we have franchise "holding" GMs.
    Today at 03:14:31 PM
  • Daddy: A "holding" GM is barely active. Never has a chance to win it all and responds to pms from peers after weeks or even months.
    Today at 03:15:24 PM
  • Daddy: If someone wins a 64 team LIVE league. NCAA or not. As hard as it is to win a LIVE league. And we gave all 32 NFL LIVE GMs the chance to win that very same league. Then hell yes. If need be. Some 2-15 GM or likewise that we KNOW isnt doing all they can to get better will be in jeopardy of being replaced.
    Today at 03:17:41 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: essentially this is a feeder for the NFL NBA. gives gusy a chance to prove they can be active and at least do whats needed so that they are considered for nba and nfl live leagues
    Today at 03:19:29 PM
  • Daddy: These leagues arent created and paid for so people can hold them and not do Crap. The purpose is to have the best Dynasty GMs in the world test themselves on an even and realistic playing field. You win a LIVE league. You are a made Man. Period.
    Today at 03:19:48 PM
  • Daddy: @BAB exactly. They are feeder leagues.
    Today at 03:20:05 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: with it being 64 ppl the talent pool for possible replacmenets is high
    Today at 03:21:01 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: and gives you enough to assess
    Today at 03:21:13 PM
  • Daddy: The NCAA League concepts are much simpler. No trading in college. Its recruit, set lineups and go. But the recruiting is essential to winning. A dummy wont win. No dummy will ever win LIVE. Cant luck into it.
    Today at 03:23:24 PM
  • Daddy: And
    Today at 03:23:29 PM
  • Daddy: Im in those leagues. Nobody wins a league im in by luck. They either had some kind of headstart or advantage. But talk smack if you want, if youve been in a league with me, you know wassup. Im bringing the hammer win lose or draw.
    Today at 03:24:52 PM
  • Daddy: Win a LIVE League. You beat me fair in square. Win NFL/NBA LIVE you not only beat me, you beat @jwalkerjr88 and my Son is even better than me. (Damn)
    Today at 03:27:58 PM
  • Daddy: And youve beaten the 30 best other guys i could get.
    Today at 03:28:54 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: yeah cann tell you this in nfl live u were not easy to beat
    Today at 03:31:51 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: but the one time i did was in the nfc championship
    Today at 03:32:08 PM
  • Daddy: @Brent,@OUDAN,@Rhino7,@IndianaBuc,@STLBlues91,@DaveW,@ldsjayhawks,@LockednLoaded & his Sons,@Harman,@BAB the list goes on and on and on. Look at those GMs. @kylerap@Sky@indiansnation look at the hockey guys, the basketball guys signing up.
    Today at 03:33:02 PM
  • Daddy: We playin games (dynasty fantasy) but we aint playin no games when it comes to competition and winning. WE DA BEST. Its not hype. Its not talk
    Today at 03:34:10 PM
  • Daddy: Its fact
    Today at 03:34:18 PM
  • Daddy: If ol jwalkerjr88 were in MLB LIVE he wouldn't be tolerating that Canadian Dirty Bird Crap. Someone needs to stop Toronto.
    Today at 03:43:21 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: im coming
    Today at 03:44:15 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: for mlb
    Today at 03:44:25 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: that team is now in great position like nfl i s
    Today at 03:44:37 PM
  • Daddy: I see ya. You take crap teams and turn them into contenders in one or two years. You are ELITE at this Crap.
    Today at 03:46:08 PM
  • Daddy: If a person wins NCAA LIVE or NCAA hoops LIVE & they arent in NFL or NBA LIVE, they will be.
    Today at 03:47:23 PM
  • Daddy: If they want to be.
    Today at 03:48:16 PM
  • Daddy: LIVE Champions are VIP in my book. They get whatever they want. Ask Buc.
    Today at 03:48:50 PM
  • Daddy: Guys like @Braves have nothing to worry about. That guy is pitting in the work. He has the room to learn at his own pace.
    Today at 03:50:20 PM
  • Daddy: Those GMs that are just "holding" teams. They know who they are.
    Today at 03:50:53 PM
  • Daddy: Get busy trying to win or get busy on your PlayStation or some other Crap.
    Today at 03:51:27 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: the only team that still needs more work is ccd
    Today at 03:54:25 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: its getting theee
    Today at 03:54:30 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: there
    Today at 03:54:33 PM
  • jimw: @Daddy thanks for the baseball complement, but don't sleep on the Seahawks. I got Stroud and Bijan in draft and have lots of picks
    Today at 04:02:59 PM
  • Brent: Those are two studs for sure.
    Today at 04:06:51 PM
  • Daddy: @JimW agreed. You have acquired big chips to have a seat at the table.
    Today at 04:10:08 PM
  • Daddy: LIVE was created so GMs can cook. Show your talent in this space. Lots of people talk :blah: and there are a lot of leagues and sites out there. Aint none of them got our product. Are you a good fantasy GM? A great one? Why? What made you good/great?
    Today at 04:16:10 PM
  • Daddy: Cuz you won a couple leagues full of non competitive dudes or inactive teams? Duplicate teams where guys run more than one franchise eliminating true balance? How do you KNOW you're good?
    Today at 04:17:36 PM
  • Daddy: I guess because you say so.
    Today at 04:17:48 PM
  • Daddy: No need to prove it. Live in your own space where you are King. Like Franchise mode on your XBox.
    Today at 04:19:53 PM
  • Daddy: You da man on franchise mode i bet
    Today at 04:20:13 PM
