I've been in some leagues that have 3-4 sims a week. We have one.

Well, that fact that 22 of my original members are still in the league after 2 years, I'll go with the opinions that matter.

But thanks for the input.

He definatly isn't kidding about the laid back approach. His NGBL ownership ended in dramatic fashion after people complained about people taking too long to make their draft picks.

Yes... when half of the league e-mails/im's me because I've taken too long to make a draft pick, I think it's time to quit that league. I'm hardly _paid_ to run a baseball team in a fantasy league, so can't see it as being a top priority.

The NGBL was far more 'demanding' of a league than I wish[ed] to be in. No harm in that. I can't help but think many people agree with me, given the turnover rate you guys seem to have. I was there for 3-4 weeks and saw 12 new owners... there has to be a reason for that, eh?

Glad to see you've gotten past that little hurdle and aren't still making an issue of it. Oh.

Fixed that part for ya, oh wait you were one of the Cardinals owners.

Glad to see your still as uptight as ever, I didn't mean it as an insult, was commenting that you are indeed interested in a much more laid back style when it comes to an OOTP league, and noticed that still holding true. At least your laid back about something.

Puh-lease... you took an issue that happened close to a year ago in a private league and made it public -- not only that, your condescending tone couldn't have been more overt.

The fact is, I thought NGBL was a good league. I did every single lineup the entire time I was there. Never missed a single one. I participated in the live sims and even dabbled in the trading process.

But when I was at work and the AMA draft started at noon one day and I had the #1 overall pick, the draft had to 'stall'.

People e-mailed me that I was 'ruining the league' and all kinds of ******ed jargon, because they ahd to wait until 5:30 for me to get off of work and make my pick.

That's why I quit. If you want to call is 'dramatic' and make it out like I was some kind of little whiney bitch, you can. But those are the facts.

I have no beef with you and I have no beef with NGBL. I'm sure it's a fine league... but it just wasn't for me. I just wish everytime I make a post on here, you don't have to bring up a seriously 'needs a grave' issue.

Not at all, almost everything in NGBL happens in dramatic fashion.

You realized it wasn't a league for you and quickly moved on, I don't see any harm in that.

For all his distaste of the NGBL...why would the FBBL blatantly steal the NGBL's front page??

Good question.

Oh well, this is about longest running leagues and we aren't one of them yet. I just saw he still had NGBL in his signature and thought he was acting like a prick to CWBL commish, who seems like a pretty nice guy. Since I do a good enough job of covering negative league publicity myself, all we need is someone not even in the league making us look even worse. Not I really care that much, but if history means anything we are going to need at least 45 more Yankees and Cardinals GM's.
