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.

   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.

  • Daddy: Excited for NBA
    Today at 12:07:45 AM
  • STLBlues91: Im just looking at the draft prospects this and next year figuring out my plan
    Today at 12:08:08 AM
  • STLBlues91: Im ready for that expansion draft
    Today at 12:08:19 AM
  • Daddy: Yeah so about that. One team get first pick in the expansion draft. The other gets first pick in the amateur draft.
    Today at 12:10:24 AM
  • STLBlues91: Yeah figured that was how it would be
    Today at 12:11:15 AM
  • Daddy: I could flip a coin but nobody but me would see it. So a number has been selected between 1-32. You are both getting pms along with the two other mods.
    Today at 12:12:09 AM
  • STLBlues91: Sounds good. When you thinking this will occur
    Today at 12:12:41 AM
  • Daddy: Whomever guesses closer to the number gets the 1st overall pick in the amateur draft. The other picks first in expansion.
    Today at 12:13:04 AM
  • Daddy: Im getting it out the way tomorrow
    Today at 12:13:49 AM
  • Daddy: Ive got the tools now to build the matrix and the league.
    Today at 12:14:20 AM
  • STLBlues91: Sounds good, I will be thinking of a solid number
    Today at 12:15:05 AM
  • Daddy: Best get to building it.
    Today at 12:15:32 AM
  • 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.
    Today at 02:09:14 AM
