The Time has come for New Leadership

As many of you know, the lifeblood of any fantasy league, regardless of sport, is active participation. With that, we all know that real-life events are always a variable, so we all go through periods where we simply have to let things evolve on autopilot.
With that, however, is an understanding that our league cannot sustain itself if inactivity turns into neglect. As league moderators, Rick and I have a responsibility to try and do things for the good of the league, which means that there are times when we have to intervene and ask if a given situation is in the league’s best interest. Such is the case with the
and the
.
Both of the GMs for these teams are longtime members, but both of their teams have slid into mediocrity because of their inactivity. We have been trying to reach them off and on during the season, with an even greater intensity during our FYPD, with a variety of joint and separate PMs and e-mails, but there has been no response. Given their history with FGM, we have delayed taking action in hopes they would come around. Alas, our efforts have been fruitless, and with heavy hearts, we have decided to secure replacements for both teams.
We are awaiting a decision by one of our applicants and another has accepted our invitation to re-join FGM. We hope all of you understand that these decisions are not easy, but a necessary step to insure the continued solvency of our league, Franchise GM.

Will Colby be able to dedicate time to Pittsburgh?
I have considered this question for a few seasons and it is a conundrum of a sorts. I think you knew the answer before you posted, but the question has been raised, so let me offer this.
The short answer is no, probably not, but it is not that simple. It is not simple because this is Colby’s league. He founded it in 2009 as a part of the ProFSL community. It is ProFSL’s original baseball league and Colby established the parameters for FGM to sustain itself as a bonafide fantasy league. So although his participation is sporadic at best, he is a permanent fixture in this league.
I communicate with him through other channels, and yes, he knows his participation leaves something to be desired. He has often expressed the desire to be more active, but alas, we see that he isn’t. His work schedule keeps him very busy, but he remains interested in the activities of FGM. FGM is his baby, which is why he continues to pay the yearly Fantrax fees. He has given me a lot of insights regarding league activity and overall direction, and has relied heavily on others to keep ProFSL together as a fantasy community. He was instrumental in my membership in the league and gave me the impetus to become the co-commissioner of FGM.
Would I like him to be active? Of course, that goes without saying, but I am never going to initiate any action to remove him as a GM. This may not be what you, or others want to hear, but it’s the bare bones explanation as to how I see his continued membership in the league.

I understand and agree with your points. It’s just a shame the franchise is in such poor shape. Even a few minutes spent every week would be a help.

:
@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.

Yesterday

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.

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.

I dont like losing ever. But a loss is a loss. Im pissed either way

Are you also a perfectionist in your everyday life?

Im not a perfectionist in my dynasty life. I make all kinds of bad trades and make all kinds of mistakes.
Yesterday

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

Nobody is right all the time. Its the beauty of sports.

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.

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

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.

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.
