I cancelled my subscription as well. I still enjoy reading Bob McGinn, but not for more than 50 cents a week. Plus, I have a bone to pick with JSonline - being semi retired, they cancelled my prescription drug benefit and I typically reach the Medicare D doughnut hole sometime in February. Good thing I have lots of GM stock to cash in to pay for all my meds.
That couldn't possibly be becuase you run it, now could it?
Numb ran it last year, and 007 in years prior... Woody participated, but surely did not have anything to do with running it.
CPK, try to hit the brain button before operating the mouth switch, willya? Everybody makes mistakes, but there was NO NEED for a snotty comment (again) like that shit.
Numby or 007, will you lead us into pick'em battle again?
Apparently you missed the wink emoticon as I was clearly making a joke about Woody shamelssly shilling and me thinking he ran the thing. You need to come off your high horse.

I think this is the perfect example of what you've done to yourself CPK. Maybe you should quit making jokes or sarcastic comments for a while. KY hardly is ever on a high horse, and I've found him to be a really nice guy.
While I recognize you probably don't like what I have to say either, you aren't going to get past this by telling people to 'get off their high horse'. I'd suck it up and move on. But that's just me.

Numb started the pick'em almost, if not all years.
Survival was my lil baby.
I think it would be cool to have a little box somewhere on the homepage with the weekly stats of both pools. Maybe not ALL stats but top 10 would be fun.
Normally I had a blast playing FF, but last year I was in a division with people who took it waaaayyy too seriously. So much drama it would make Lifetime look like Comedy Central. Anyhow, if I had a suggestion for FF, it would be to keep the die-hards separate from who just wanting to have fun.
I love Ky's high horse, I have named him "Skippy".
Oh, OK. I didn't realize I was in a fight here. Guess I better wake up and fight back.
My first move in a battle is always to see if you can kick 'em in the Nutz. (save that thumb in the eye or a bite of the nose for a "finish".) But, Nutz ya got me. However, you stole that "Skippy" line from Ron White.
CP, I missed the emoticon. But I quote a line from the great Nutz himself, "emoticons are for wimps". Evidently, I'm running with the greatest practioners of sarcasm and satire since Jonathon Swift. When all you humorists are at your best, your comments seem to go right over my head. I'm on a high horse? I really don't know about that shit. It seems to me that quite a few posters on here would be killed or maimed by a fall off their steed. Me?, I'm right back in the saddle. My mount is donkey or jack-ass sized, IMHO.
Yeah, Survival. I love that derned game, but I don't do worth a shit at it. How in the hell did the Redskins lose to the sorry-assed Rams at home last year? Do it again 007, that game is fun.
A little scoreboard to show the standings each week? Yeah, that would be cool. Just don't post it when I'm down or have a shitty week.

Survival is where it's at
That's not a fair summary of the rest of the FF league. The only drama created was when you and your trading partner tried to complete a trade that everyone else in the league, on this board, and anywhere else, considered lopsided. Considering one team was in the basement and one team was vying for a play-off spot and the trade favored the latter, people quite rightly vetoed the trade. Then you two went all bezerko, claiming sexism and all kinds of other BS that didn't address the fact the trade was ridiculous at best. But I agree, and I think Zool mentioned last year, that we needed to make a casual league for people who want to make wacky trades or fill their roster with white players or players who's last names all start with W or whatever other crazy ideas cross their mind during the season.
Claiming the division ruined your "fun" by not allowing a trade (which was very thoroughly analyzed as bogus by several people inside and outside our division) that would have affected several other players negatively is a bit selfish though. The bigger problem was the annual drop-outs who, despite warnings of bodily harm and forum humiliation, abandoned their team - one after like 3 weeks.

People were getting irritated about things in that division long before that trade situation that you had a hissy fit over. If I remember correctly, there was another scenario going on that was attempting to knock 007 out, too.
You were always bitching about something whether it was telling people to set their fucking rosters 4 days in advance or complaining that you couldn't log in to the draft because of whatever reason, etc.
Drama and arguments involving the mighty Skinbasket. Gee, now there's a shocker. I guess on this one, we'll just have to agree on one thing....that we need a casual league and a prima donna league :P

Or maybe we need a MAN'S League, and a GIRLY League. Outside of that I agree, Skinbasket is a complainer and takes all the fun out of everything.
