Give Slack his entry fee back....take it out of the pot for the winner.

Slack is a good guy and passionate about winning.

Vocal we like.
Active but smart too.

Bossy is a whole different ball of wax my friend!

There's plenty of rope for gents to pull in their direction and have a say but when you take that rope and wrap it around the commissioner's neck, you've crossed the line. LOL

I believe we all understand that you guys did not appreciate the method that slackjack used to make his point, but I feel that we are beyond that now. But to help prevent something like this from happening again, we should clearly state it in the rules the number of times a player can be brought out by a single team as well as several other issues that blckhwkfan mentioned in his last post in this thread.

I understand that running a league is hard as I tried doing that myself on these boards and failed horribly. It is a very time intensive and thankless job. But times also change, and with that, the rules should change with them. Changing and updating the rules will make it an easier experience for everyone in the league and it will make running the league a lot easier on you guys.

I also agree with ripper and papps in regards to giving slackjack his money back. It's only $10, the season didn't really start, Colorado definitely has the most promising group of young guns in the league, and selling the rangers for $85 has proven that this league has no problems raising cash.

Sorry to see Slackjack go, he is a great guy, who knows his hockey. I'm not sure what happened behind the scenes, but it appears that is none of my business. Good luck in your other leagues, you put Colorado in a great position to succeed in the future.

As far as Pigrule goes, he made decisions he chose to and he isn't going anywhere. The site lacks commissioners who are willing to do the dirty work, and he has put the league back on the map. Maybe not making the most popular decisions, but does it for the better of the league imo.

3 weeks til the phuck drops, kids :NHL:  :P  :toast:

   Idk why fantasy gets so personal. It bothers me when owners like SJ are banished. I want to go up against the best GM's, guys who care & don't quit on their teams or themselves.

   We are all diverse on this site, I rub some people the wrong way too, SJ is a good guy, he is the kind of GM that more leagues need imo. Most importantly to me, I think I can beat him no matter who he cuts & resigns. I know I would like to try.

   If there is any reconsideration that can be employed, please use it. If the line has been drawn in blood then I will have to accept that which I cannot change. Either way I wish everyone involved well.

May I ask exactly what happened here? I follow this league from time to time and am curious as to what has occurred here.

my suggestion would be to PM all parties involved. This way it doesn't escalate into something more.

PigsRule said some stuff about my wife that offended me, and he wouldn't acknowledge it by PM, so I went over his head. In response he penalized my team. Then, after Corey gave him a warning, he kicked me out without compensation.

I probably over-reacted but there's been a lot of misunderstanding all around. To be fair, I think Pigs thought I wasn't following the spirit of the rules when I didn't rightly know there was such a thing. It's a money league and competition is encouraged.

I dont say good deal bad deal or i like this side better.  My goal is to provide a fair platform where people are free to trade and not be judged because nobody knows for sure how these trades will play out. Lots of ACLs are gonna tear between now and new years.  Im always happy that two strangers with different backgrounds can meet in our league and enjoy freedom to be themselves and do what THEY THINK is best. I love every deal. (Had to share that @Braves) :toast:
