AFBL News

Modern Relic · 07-29-2003, 10:19 PM

I just wanted to take a minute to announce that the AFBL has just begun its landmark 10th season. When I decided to start a league, I had no idea what was involved or if I could even make a go of it. Happily, the league is still going strong with more than a few original owners still around.

I know there are at least a few people here who follow the league, and I thought they'd like to know. Ten seasons...my how time flies...

With that, I'd like to give a quick shout out to Cooley, who was extremely helpful with advice etc when I decided to start up a league. Thanks, Mark.

10 years, right on.. keep it up bud

Thanks, Tony, but I did nothing other than encourage you to do what I knew you could do.

YOU just had to believe that you could do it.

Hey, its a GREAT league and and all the kudos go to you!

Most leagues don't seem to mirror their commish's personna..........this one does.

Congrats, Tony!

Congrats to Tony and to the AFBL...one of the most interesting leagues I know of

holyroller · 07-29-2003, 10:45 PM

A great league to play in and a great commish and guy!

Modern Relic · 07-30-2003, 10:46 AM

Thanks a lot, guys! The league has been full of surprises and has been a blast to run.

Congrats to you and your league Tony. Tony is one of the top tier commishes in OOTPLand. It's good to see the longevity!

I think you like to follow me around just to mock me. It hurts me. It hurts me deeply.

I am going to talk to TC and have you banned or something.

Cooleyvol · 07-30-2003, 02:21 PM

Spleen,

Having seen your new sig and being listed first in that illustrious list, I take back everything I've ever said mockingly about you.

I truly love you.

PS--I don't understand AA being listed there, but as long as he's below me, I'll live with it.

Cooleyvol · 07-30-2003, 02:23 PM

Well now that I look at other posts by you, that is NOT your sig, but a kiss up, so I take it back.

Also, it wouldnt be that far a trip to talk to TC since you guys are one and the same anyway.

spleen1015 · 07-30-2003, 02:43 PM

That is my sig. Now, quit highjacking Tony's thread.

Cooleyvol · 07-30-2003, 03:01 PM

ooops..........sigs used to retroactive when you changed them.

Sorry, Tony!

Modern Relic · 07-30-2003, 04:22 PM

Hey now. I'm not getting between you two. No way!

Cooleyvol · 07-30-2003, 04:52 PM

Spleen, I think we've found our 'third'!!

Modern Relic · 07-30-2003, 05:29 PM

The mind boggles...

Ew.

Old Man · 07-30-2003, 06:24 PM

Tony, good to see you made it to 10 seasons. Can't wait to see the next 10 seasons.

Congrads to Tony!
