Owner Threatens To Quit The League

[nicewolf64 0]

Specifics aside, there are two rules to which all fantasy players should adhere:

 

1) It's bad form to threaten to quit if you don't like the way a vote is going. You shouldn't pout and cry to try and get your way.

 

2) If, at any time (before the start of the season) you don't like the way the league is headed...quit. This is very different from threatening to quit, being a drama queen and stamping your feet. Accept whatever vote occurs, and then exit with dignity. They made their decision, now you make yours.

 

I wouldn't blame the guy with good keepers for being angry. Teams with weaker players are voting away his hard-earned advantage. But it's wrong to threaten to bolt if owners don't vote the way you want. You should simply make your case and decide what to do after the vote. If they start over, find a new league. Easy as that.

 

And nobody should worry about leaving a "long-standing" league. When a keeper league throws all its players back into the pool...the old league is dead. It's an entirely new league and you have every right to choose not to participate.

 

According to Freak Jones must be SA and LT2 as none keepers. Not sure where he got that info, but I did read this thing at 5am, so I may have missed it...

You probably don't want to use anything other than what the original poster says, because a good number of people are making up their own assumptions. And you know what that means.....

 

Here's more info from the original poster nicewolf. Next time read a little further.

 

 

Keeper Rules:

- Each team may keep up to 2 players from the previous draft.

- Free agents/waver-wire pickups may not be kept.

- In order to keep a player, a team must give up the draft position 3

places above where that player was drafted. The same will be true of

2nd year keepers and so on until that player can no longer be kept.

 

If you can show me any way LT and Shaun can be kept, feel free to straighten me out. Considering they've both been 1st and 2nd round picks in FF for years, that is highly unlikely.

Fock Keeper Leagues.... too much Bull$hit as you can see by the constant whiny posts you read on here..... Make it a full fledge Dynasty League which shows true GM skills......or just do a redraft every year....

Exactly!!!

I see how you came to that conclusion. But I thought he said these were the new rules? But would have been easier if the poster had just given us the info like so many asked for. Reading this thing at 5am was not the easiest read in the world....LOL

 

I would tend to agree with you that he'll get LT or SA too. Now it much more locical why all the other teams want a redraft. I'd want a redraft too if given the option by the commish....LOL

This thread is a hoax and nothing but a big lie. EVERYONE KNOWS SHAKESPEARE IS DEAD!!!! He died in the 1600's, come on people, he can't use the internet.

So what was the final decision? Screw the owner or reset the trade?

No doubt. After all this crap, and we don't even get the benifit of an update on it. See if I offer advice to a dead playwright anymore.

By the way this thread died, I'm guessing that they screwed the owner and he quit.

 

Or went postal and killed the other owners. I'd acquit him under these circumstances.

I was giving up 2 picks in the 1st round, 2 picks in the 3rd round and Chris Chambers.

 

I don't think you can compare 2 1st round picks, 2 3rd round picks + Chambers to LJ, Fitz and the #1 overall pick. The guy has the best RB going into this year, a top 10 WR and most likely can land LT and/or SA - and you are comparing maybe a top 20 WR plus picks. I understand what you are saying about putting what's right and the league before personal gain, but to compare you loss to this guys is like saying having your dog get kicked is like losing your first born.

Stop bumping this thread, you sick focker!

After 5 pages of recommendations, I', sure I'm not the only one that wants to know what they decided to do. Its like when the news has a hot story, then never tells you how it ended.

Did he exist Captain? Well, did he? Read this:

 

"William Shakespeare" is a name that might have been adopted by almost any writer who wished to conceal from the public his title, office or his baptismal name but who yet wished to assert his identity as a playwright. After all, Pallas Athena, the mythological patron goddess of Athens (the ancient home of the theatre) wore a helmet, crowned by a Sphinx, that, when its visor was drawn, made her invisible. In her hand she carried a great spear. For a writer to be such a "spear-shaker" could therefore suggest that he was a writer of plays—an invisible writer of plays. That Oxford should have resorted to this pseudonym makes eminent sense, for he also was known as a champion battler in the lists—a spear-shaker of military renown. Similarly, Oxford's occasional hyphenated spelling of his poet-playwright name may also have been adopted to allude, with a more obvious wink and a nudge, to the author's role as a warrior with a pen as his spear. The possible suggestiveness of the name "Will-i-am Shake-speare" ("I will be [a] spear-shaker") as one whose words are intended to disturb the complacent takes on additional significance when we read Ben Jonson's knowing commemoration of Shakespeare in the First Folio: "He seems to shake a lance / As brandish't at the eyes of ignorance."

 

Clearly the original poster isn't who he says he is, and is a terrorist out to undermine the game of fantasy football by stripping it of simple ethics. Bored members, be prepared, the rebellion has already begun.

At first glance I thought this read OWENS quits the league and I was gonna start that this piece of shiot would disappear...

 

As for the Owner...knock on his door and punch him in the face in front of his wife and kids
