You all suck. Dolphins get the one win they'll get all season and you fuckers ruin it. Really thought I was getting stuck with the Jags at worst, upset I got cast aside like that. Idc what FMT says he would take the blame if it was his or not. You all knew I'm in the middle of moving 1,300 miles.
I got internet, tv, and watched the dolphins win all in one day. And you go and do this!?

You are right. It is not your fault you were moving. On the flip side, it wasnt ours either. You said yourself you didnt care enough to use the internet or provide updates or whatever. It is what it is

If the Raiders won, today wouldn't have been such an emotional roller coaster for me.
Trade you my madden team for a real team and some hope.
The league waits for no one. [spoilers] except Donny's rosters [/spoilers]
excitement was dropping off. things were getting chippy. NHL stealing away players! FMT made the tough choice and i agree with it. Whats done is done. There are players who have been here longer than yourself on the outside looking in. Its the nature of the beast.
You shouldn't have been surprised the Dolphins beat the Raiders. Come on, man!
Yeah, good game Ferny, thanks for declining that penalty on the fair catch.
Honestly thought you had a shot after that Spiller punt fumble. Probably played it too safe at times but considering how many picks I throw it that may be for the best.
You had a couple of blitzes/sacks that were crazy.
Yeah that was kind of weird. I wouldn't have felt right accepting that.
I was playing too aggressive coming from down a score. Talk about sacks, man Mario Williams was on my ass the whole game. It was a big reason why I threw so many INTs because my line was trash ugh.

Are you implying I have a real team? I always got hope though, it's a curse of mine.
The fact I had all this support is makes it all the worse.
I didn't expect the league to wait, I did expect a team. Sorry I put too much faith in multple people being able to come to the conclusion if we start before he's back he doesn't get the fins and will miss the first offseason. I guess I just had to suggest it though but I figured they probably won't start on time anyways and at worst I miss an offseason and I get another franchise with Henne at the helm and maybe miss the first week of play, sure there's a waiting list but they won't boot me, I said I'd be back today. Giving me the boot wasn't the best option. Whatever, I'm not paying anyone right? Just can't help but be upset with the decision after seeing people show you guys I'm coming back and I just didn't have internet.
CB3 is right about one thing, it is what it is. Enjoy the league guys and if you don't get in touch with me immediately after some1 drops have some1 sub for the team I take over until you do, I'll be checking in but it's not like I'm in the league and I don't use GAF for too much else these days.
The problem with waiting is that the CPU AI in your teams slot will make moves (cuts, signings, ect) as soon as the franchise is started. There is no way around that. In addition, it would have screwed up the FA draft that went on.
Could it have been handled better? Possibly. But whats done is done. Spots are at a premium this year and these are the kinds of things that happen. You didnt do yourself any favors by "not caring" and being MIA for most of the time since release date.

I actually dont know. I wasnt really in on the jags discussions besides telling FMT i dont really care who mans them, i just didnt want that team to be the reason we had to wait longer. Simply trying to clean this up since FMT isnt here!
Im just trying to run a Hockey league people!

That's what FMT had said yeah.
I don't know I thought it was suggested that someone just take it over temporarily but then also FMT said something about rinse/faze winning them, so I don't remember. Either way if we had just waited one more day like I said Drizzler would still be with us. You guys are tearing the family apart

I don't have internet. When I say "not caring" I mean I'm not making a trip to starbucks to make sure I still have a spot in the league when I already posted I was returning today, I completely expected the scenario birdman expected. I don't believe it's the case.
Maybe it's better this way, you'll end up with the Ravens in a few weeks instead of the Jags
Who are you talking about?
It was Chris Owusu, you must have cut him because when I went to look again he was in the free agent pool!
Oh. Yeah I didn't want him on my team.

I guess they only have 255 spots for free agents. I think i read that somewhere. Certain players just get straight up deleted.
I was looking for OLB Gary Guyton who was on Miami's 75 but cut on the 53 and assumed he'd be in FA and i was targeting him. Nope. Deleted from the universe.

we were sold a dead bird
4 games left and I'm not one of them.....dead bird indeed.
Didn't he say he'd be gone for the weekend?
That was such an obvious Raiders loss. If I had money and I gambled I would've bet on it.
Short week, early game, other coast. How can you not predict that as a loss?
Only 255? What is this, an NES game? Come on EA, up the buffer size!
He got back this afternoon.
They're not that bad. Put the team in a competent staff's hands and they'd be pretty good. Good enough to beat the dolphins, anyway.
They could really use someone who can catch the ball. Maybe instead of drafting Barkley they should target Robert Woods.

Trasher and I are supposed to play after the SNF game.
