i should be able to trust people running free agency but guess i cant. like i said i have a life that doesnt stick me to a computer 247 i just dont expect to get fd over during that time
Ahhh....good times. Anyone who thinks Saint Greg got screwed I laugh in ya face. I was a first year GM who didn't know much, the site GIK was referencing mistakingly listed Gamble as a UFA, GIK urged everyone too double check the site used vs reality. I failed to do so, and I paid dearly for my rookie mistake. I don't blame GIK for enforcing the rule. Hopefully my gut feeling is wrong and Greg would've had to pay for his mistake just like I did if GIK were still the commish, one can only wonder.
I would have sent out like 5 PMs to everyone before time expired probably. Doubt it would have happened at all. Maybe Paul did that though... I really don't know.
He didn't, but it was plastered in every rules thread, had a sticky of its own, and noone except Greg had an issue with it
that's not the point, the point was it's a different method, so it probably wouldn't have happened, not to mention he and Greg are friends.
People get busy with their lives and forget... It happens. I felt a lot less sympathy for GMs when I sent out reminders. This way the "I'm real busy but have had the chance to at least log in" excuse wouldn't work. I would send out PMs as much as I could when people were OTC during the draft too. It's just how I did things.
If Greg wasn't around though I doubt much of anything changes. Last year or two years ago I missed bidding on a FA I was hard in on by about 20 minutes and wasn't given an exception, so I think Griddles is pretty consistent.
Free Agency is nuts this year. Earl Mitchell $495,000 - 4 years/16 mill O'Brien Schofield $495,000 - 2 years/8 mill Tony McDaniel $1,600,000- 2 years $6.3 mill Garrett Graham $600k re-sign - ? (will obviously be higher) Donald Brown $3.5 million - 3 years $10.5 million (looks to be the closest for now).
Honest shock. I knew Mitchell and Graham would go for more. But really. 2 years $8 million for a guy who had 8 tackles last year in O'Brien? Stalled until Paul figures out the mess.
I nearly started in on Schofield but I figured I already had too many Dline on the table. Great value signing on your part. Similar to me nabbing Wootton for the minimum.
it wouldn't have mattered had I sent 5 PM's because he wasn't on the message board between 2/22 and 2/28 to read them. I had a check in thread on 2/20. I recall he checked into that. I am pretty sure I did send PM's to him, but can't verify that as i've cleared my PM's sent box since then.
Most people on Tapatalk get a notification sent to their phone when they receive a private message... unless they go into their settings and turn them off. Doesn't really matter now.
actually I don't think they are "friends"... in follow up discussions with GIK in the hours since the deadline to tag, I asked him if they were friends, how he knew him etc etc. I would have strongly considered giving him a break if GIK had vouched for him in that regard. Because I have a high regard for GIK and all. But GIK said he didn't know him in RL and if it were him, he'd cut him some slack but that it was up to me of course. Greg's manner was not in the slightest conciliatory... just rambling on about this being HIS league. Pretty much the nail in the coffin at that point.
Everyone defines friends differently. There are quite a few people I've only met online I've known for a long time now who I consider as such. I'm not sure what knowing Greg offline has to do with impacting anything for an internet game we all get together for. It's not like asking him to do your taxes or something.
he told me he was mostly joking with you on a lot of stuff and figured you'd take it as such. just relaying.
just sayin man, not tryin to pick sides. I've known him for some 14 years when I created this league on another website and have met up with him once in Nola 5 years ago. never had a problem with him the whole time before. whenever I made a trade offer to him and he knew it wasn't fair or whatever, I expected a smartass reply. when you do this league long enough, it gets tiring hearing of some proposals so some of you folk just have to take it with a grain of salt. with Greg, at least. just sayin.
It's over and time to move on. Speaking of that... trying to open free agency bidding process (the 24 hour window) by Sunday night, Monday morning ish... I'll PM everyone giving them a 24 hour notice when it is about to reopen.
