Welcome to the league Jersey-Jim! You are a great addition to the league. Peace fellas.

lethal liberal · 10-28-2008, 10:49 PM

Still open to trades fellas. Peace.

CONN CHRIS · 10-29-2008, 05:42 AM

Glad to have you with us Jim! Welcome aboard.

Jersey-Jim · 10-29-2008, 11:40 AM

Thank you, everyone. Heavy Leather Promotions will be opening up a seedy Gym and equally seedy office a few blocks away from the Atlantic City Convention Center. A pet Kangeroo was brought into Jersey in honor of the franchises original owner. Ray Arcel has allegedly trained it to carry spit buckets? Nothing pertaining to that, however, has yet to be verified.

When my fighters win, they will be treated to the best-of-the-best the Casino world has to offer here in Atlantic City.

When they lose, they go back to the Roach Coach Motel and dine at "Faye's Slop House" - just two blocks east of here across from Henry's Watering Hole.

Cigars are provided for both winners and losers on the team (a little humanity goes a long way).

Over a span of two days three of Mike's posts in OT political threads were reported by three different members of the forums. After the second of Mike's posts was reported, one of the mods sent him a PM asking that he tone things down. When the third post was reported three different mods all suggested a temporary ban, given that the PM appeared to have been ignored. None of the boxing mods, Chris, Lee, or I encouraged any ban. The three mods who did are all neuteral parties, who do not post on the political threads in the OT forums. I have no idea at all about their political affiliations. They have not shared those with anyone. OT can get very heated when people are passionate about their religous or political beliefs.
At the moment there are 15 days and a few hours remaining on the ban.
The temporary ban was issued because warnings would have had a cumulative effect and automatically resulted in a permanent ban.

Welcome to the league Jim..I think you will enjoy it.

mikehoudini · 10-29-2008, 03:14 PM

Welcome, Jim. You'll be a fine addition. I'll have to keep my Binks away from some of your emporiums! Then again, it might help them out!

lethal liberal · 10-29-2008, 05:03 PM

Thanks for the info Bear. Yeah,I think that we should all stick to boxing and our beloved simulation,that way friends stay friends..LOL. Peace fellas. See ya on draft day!

Mike responded to being called a name by calling a name. He will be back.

Jersey-Jim · 10-29-2008, 10:29 PM

I think I'm a little vague on the upcoming draft. By the way, I'm reading while consuming a draft over here, so it's possible that I've missed a thing or two.

There are so many posts on the league, that when I first tried reading them about 4 months ago, it was overwhelming, so thanks for bringing me up to speed.

Thanks again, everyone.

This'll be my first draft, as well. My 2-8 record indicates that I didn't exactly ace it when putting my team together, but there is a fine line between scrappy and crappy! I'm sure I consumed a few beverages while putting together my squad. Maybe that was the problem!

I am figuring that, if I don't draft, all my guys will get old at the same time, so it's good to bring in some new blood. I am curious to see if any of my Binks do better at pre-prime and prime. Is Tony Galento in your future

Yeah,I have been researching and trying to figure out who to draft as well Mikehoudini. My Left Jab boys need some help for sure. With the 6th pick..it all depends on what happens to the 5 picks before me. I am pretty sure what I will be left with..but ya never know. Good luck to the Binks. Peace.

Claybor · 10-31-2008, 08:36 AM

I am struggling with the decision of whether to give up on a few guys based on their 'early utba' careers, or stick it out with them another season to see if they can turn it around.

I'm officially putting Ike Ibeabuchi on the blocks. Seems he is interested in a change of scenery...
