    I'd like to give big ups to Paul himself. He came in cold and handled the machinations and the egos of the league pretty well. I tip my hat to you sir.

    Thank you for your hard work Paul. You stepped up to the plate and without you there wouldn't have been a 2014 GML. It certainly wasn't an easy task and you had more then the usual GML drama.

    On a different note....first time I've gone awardless since my rookie season. This makes me very angry. Next year....I'm out for blood. :evil: :) Thank you to those of you who did vote for and nominate me.

    Wow. I am shocked. Thank you guys! (I gotta find a banner maker for last years feud of the year and this years GM/Free Agent of the year).

    As for the prizes I'm going to change things up just slightly since things didn't go as planned for them. Since I won GM of the year and feud of the year was incredibly one sided here is how I will be doing the prizes (going out June 12th on next pay day).

    Rookie of the Year: RoninFin4 $25
    Feud: Todd $25
    GM of the Year was also supposed to win....but since I did I am going to award both runner ups with $25 each (Boik and Sports).

    Congrats guys. Let me know via PM whether you want your prize as a 1 year extension to your current Club Level access or whether you want it as an NFLShop Online Gift Certificate.

    Also, a huge shoutout to the rookies and Paul. Without both there would have been no real league this year. I hope your all back next year.

    Thanks everyone for a great experience. Paul convinced me to join GML this year and I can definitely say I'll be back next year. I appreciate all the work put in by Paul and everyone else to make this happen. Mike Brown is still canoeing and could not be reached for comment, sorry.

    I was sure this was the best team I was ever a part of and we couldn't even win one category, not even draft (wasn't even 2nd). :/

    24 teams submitted final rosters, I believe, only 1 wasn't nominated in any category (2 others nominated in categories they may feel they'd rather not be nominated in :shifty:). So for those of you feeling the grief this morning, it could have been worse :wink2:

    I had a very fun year. Its a shame I got so busy towards the end and couldnt focus much on the draft. I will be back next year.

    Also, thanks for the votes on best O-line, I worked hard to build that unit

    Bull ****. lol

    I hate banners, in general. I have them and avatars turned off. I cant deal with the slow load times across all computers that i use to access the site. Plus it tightens up the screen less scrolling.

    How does s team who downgraded their unit get voted best secondary? He had the good player's and added a guy who had a very short run of success in Tramon Williams. ...he basically traded for the worst guy in the unit and inherited the other 3.

    Arizona got jobbed

    I don't recall trying to trade him during the draft. With a handful of GMs well under the cap and nothing to spend it on, I probably could've traded Tramon if I wanted to..... but what would've be the point when FA was done and I had no need for cap relief and with me obviously looking to bolster my secondary?

    I could've dismantled the L.O.B for good value but I decided to keep the 3 main ingredients in tact, then spent 9.5M on Tramon Williams, used a 1st rounder on a corner, and grabbed another one who would've easily been a 2nd rounder had he not been injured so late in the year. I at least used resources to ensure it remained the best secondary in the league, putz.

    Yes, Tramon had such a short run of success that Fox Sports Wisconsin's "Packers Annual Checkup" gave him a B+ for the year and by midseason said he was "playing as well as he ever had" and was arguably the Packers best defender, which I guess is why Green Bay is keeping him around this year despite his hefty salary, tweedledumb.

    Plus he's not facing a stiff suspension like 2/3rds of your linebacking corps. At least all the members of the GM League's "Best Secondary" will like... you know... be on the field. What will 29% of your front 7 be doing?... trying to figure out how to pry off an ankle monitor?
