OK, there has been enough heartburn that it appears that there is a core that wants to keep this league going. Let's here from you. With the right type of cooperation and participation and patience we can get this done.

Who's in?
I would love to keep it running. I understand one person can't do all the work. The 2 or 3 guys that left here though and went to start up another league we could have used here and just kept this one alive. That is what I don't understand.
If you are willing to devote the time why would you go start up another league instead of just keeping the one that we already spent two years working on alive? That is what gets me.
Maybe they had a bad team and knew there was no chance of catching up and figured a new league might return better results. If you have some impact players to start with you can build the rest with good smart moves.
I had nothing bunk junk on my team outside of about 8 players or so. In 1 year I built my team up from scratch and there were only about 10-15 players that I was not going to keep. After the great draft picks I had going into this year my team would have been just about set and filled with nothing but young guys with good talent and ratings. Some of the positons I did not have crap at before was all of a sudden going to be a huge strength with depth also. On defense I would have only had 1 starter rated a 6 and the rest higher because of my good moves. I even had depth players rated good. I only planned on having a couple players over the age of 28 on my team after this year. I was definitely one of the top favorites for the title going into this year. If not this year then next year would have definitely been my year for a great run and with my young loaded team with a good salary cap outlook for the future I would have had a dynasty.
You can rebuild a team with the few key players. I just don't understand why 2 or 3 people left this league and started up another one from scratch if they were obviously willing to pitch in and devote the time to this one that was already going for two years. Starting one up from scratch even takes more time to devote to the game when the most time consuming part is the initial stocking draft.
I would love to see it going and will help out with what I can (I don't own the game, but can help run drafts or do other things.) :up:
I would love to see the league keep going!!
But honestly I don't know if we will have enough to keep it going. Now that we have been talking about getting rid of the league..
If we can get enough people back and some better owners on a couple teams...
I'd be willing to help out with the management of the league. I don't have a ton of time, but if there were 3-4 good GM's working together then i can afford some time to help out.
Another thing....
there can be NO MORE accusations about the simming of games. I want a rules instated that anyone who alludes to this, or makes this accusation will be fined 2 mill against their cap for 1st offence, 10 mill for their second and expulsion for the 3rd. THis is meant to be FUN, but making those sorts of accusations is a major insult to the people who are putting their time in to make it enjoyable and should NOT happen.
Good post! :bf1:Quote:

I would like to keep the league going as well.
yes i want to keep it going but is this another BS procrastinating poll thread to keep drag this thing out?
I'm down to take over for a team if necessary...I'm a huge fantasy baseball and football nut.
I'd love to keep going as long as we get more people involved to help out Eb. I'd be willing to help with the technical side of things like help setting up the website and such.
I totally agree. :up:Quote:

There's no way I'd consider participating in this league unless there were at least 3 people running it, and 20 teams that are active.
considering this poll was put up 2 days ago and only 8 people have voted yes, I think that says it all. if 16-18 owners had voted yes I would have done what I could next month to pick things up but honestly its not worth it with less than 75 % of the league not caring or not being involved so it was a great run but I am gonna vote no
Good luck if you do pick it up again
I would possibly be interested in running a team if you are short. I guess it would depend on what is required.
Enough with the defeatist attitude.Quote:

we can end up with 20 teams no problem if we recruit a few ppl on top of the ones we have.
Not a defeatist attitude you dont know what it takes to run a league and teh frustration tracking guys down, consider me out and whoever wants the most talented team in league is welcome to it if you pick it upQuote:

That would be too difficult for me to do since I am not up to knowing offensive lilnemen past the really top level ones. I would like to get involved in a fantasy league here though since my money league I think has come to an end after about 15 years.
id love to own a team in the league :please:
yes you draft most poitions, but there are grades assigned to each player to help you out, which means you can grab guys you think have potential, check age, injury status, or just take the top guy grade wise.......Quote:

yes.
Eb, you are welcome to join our league. Anyone who was in this league is welcome.
Guys, I have a few friends that would like to be owners. They aren't Bills fans and thus not a member of the Billszone but I am pretty sure I could get 1 or 2 guys in the league. If it is still an option.
www.billsaddiction.com
looking for multiple owners. Direct em there!
Im glad that I drafted for the future........
It was fun while it lasted......
I am really experienced with the software, i will help run drafts ect. The league im in is really fun and enkoyable if everyone puts time in and is dedicatred enough. I will be happy to sim the games which i feel will work well as i dont own a team. If this league goes ahead i will post gameplanning sheets where you can enter your game plans for me to sumbit into the software to sim games.
