FFDL [draft starts this Saturday!]

[Young_Star11]

Tell ya what, I hereby draft John Walls. I know it's against the rules and all, but you have to be merciful here. I demand leniency.

Cool - I'll take John Wall, you can have John Walls.

I'll set theman back to #2 waiver priority.

[CFan21]

So the plan is to gradually let the indignant posts die down then pretend like nothing happened without any formal league decision?

[Stanford]

I can only sustain indignation for a short amount of time.

[theman]

I can remain indignant for a very long time.

Now I did try that one this summer.

You need to answer two questions.

1) What did you mean by show no mercy (I do not expect an honest answer).

2) What is the punishment for dropping a player early?

[bww78]

Hmmmm, the silence is deafening.

Is it time to hold a vote?

[writersblock]

Guys...I think we need to keep in mind one important thing:

Jordan dropped Blake on the day he missed his 5th game. Thus, he gained no advantage. In other leagues, this is standard operating procedure.

[CFan21]

I say the first course of action should be to dock WB his first round pick next year on account of that he's only defending Jordan because I backed theman. This type premeditated political maneuvering must be discouraged immediately.

You see...this is what happens when we get into debates like this, we wake up Carl, and then he says something stupid.

I thought we all knew that the rule was: Do not wake Carl!

[CFan21]

This response just shows your ineptitude at rivalries and cheap shots. This woke me up? What does that even mean? I've been asleep? I've been making trade offers to pretty much everybody but you for the past couple months, made one of the best picks in the draft and picked up two promising guys on the waiver wire.

That said, everyone I'm looking to rebuild around my new star Trevor Ariza. If anybody would like the incomparable Danny Granger along with a package of older (effective) players to contend against Stanley, I will gladly accept young talent in return.

I thought the rule was a player must miss five games. Not four and a quarter games.

This 'vendetta' against me has pushed me to it, but I am going to step down from being commish of the FFDL at the end of this season. It seems as though I have worn out my welcome here, and bad blood is the only thing that comes my way. I feel that I deserve some of it for having a shocking team, but some just cannot be explained.

I however will not relinquish my duties as manager of my team. I don't want abandon a sinking ship, because it's showing signs of slowly rising after years of mediocrity.

I also feel that someone else should be given an opportunity to look after the administration side of the league.

As for the ongoing Blake Griffin debate, what punishment fits my crime?

[Stanford]

If you've worn out your welcome here, why would you keep your team?

[Young_Star11]

It might not make a whole lot of sense, but I don't want to look as though I am abandoning a sinking ship, which would probably be the response I'd get. I think my team is finally getting better and I want to be the manager who takes this team a little higher.

[Stanford]

I know fraan and nos would be happy to take over your team, not that I'm suggesting that. I just don't buy that your stepping down because of some minor heat you've gotten over the last couple of days.

I have no clue who will take over next year. I can't say I will be able to. I don't know what country I'll be in. This could be the beginning of the end, unfortunately.

[Young_Star11]

Education takes up more of your time, the further you go into it, the longer you stay in the system etc. I do want to carry on, but fran or nos would be very solid replacements.

Perhaps sly can return?

We will not be taking any trash talk from a team that is in 2nd to last place. Go get a winning record, and then come talk to us then.

Buddy, I played the league juggernaut in week one and didn't set my roster two or three of the days (which is my fault). That's pretty much equivalent to calling the Cavs a crappy after they lost the opener against the C's. Your opponent = Joe Johnson, OJ Mayo, Andris Biedrins. My opponent had five guys that he probably wouldn't trade individually for all three of your opponent's best players.

There's no vendetta, you just got theman hot under the collar, you made a mental error and he got you back for it. I'm actually surprised by this. I'd sort of been expecting that theman would be the first one to crack under the pressure.

Wait until you enter the real world.
