Botox ( 😂 )....er um, I mean Botankus....I'm only in it if to really hone sharpne my drafting skills.....really sorry guys if I'm being a stinker. But, you're all big boys-you can handle it.
Pfft! It's not like it would be for money.

What does hone sharpen my drafting skills mean? Have you never played Fantasy Football, or are you a seasoned veteran? Not really sure from that statement.
In other words, I'd just be looking to gauge where players were chosen in drafts. ESPN does this...where people can hop online and have a draft just for the heck of it, but not be in a league. Follow what I'm getting at?
...yes, have played fantasy football...many times.

Digi, I wouldn't have the time to manage my team...with being in 2 other leagues, and playing ice hockey as well. I just don't have the availability. Doesn't help that I'm getting married this winter either...so much to plan an do. ...can't stretch myself beyond my means. 🙁

Fair enough. And congrats with the marriage.
I'm all for it, however, because I've requested my money back from my league manager. It seems every other interested team wants the changes I opposed (the ones that were implemented post-draft and that would considerably hurt my team and others).
Not sure whether or not the changes will happen, but at this point I've been turned into the villian of the group for trying to fight for a fair resolution to it. It's just not fun anymore, and feels like a chore. And if the changes happen (which seems likely) I'll have been lied to and will have less of a chance of actually winning anything.
...so this would be my only league.
And heck, they got 12 guys for a fantasy soccer league. If we do any recruiting at all I'm sure we can make a full league.

Villian? Stand up, and take a bow. You're a hero in my book. Lucky for your league I'm not in it. I'd cause a coup. 😉

Thanks. 🙂
I was honestly shocked that no one took my side (except the league manager, only because he didn't want to make anyone angry...though it was him that initially instituted the changes). But after all this, I'm just fed up with it and it's not really worth my time. The rest of the league wants more starting options to "increase strategy" so they're basically drowning me out.
A shame, really. Keep the original settings and it's clear I have one of the better teams....maybe that's why I'm not getting any support. I was looking forward to hopefully winning some money, but I'd rather pull out and just enjoy the season than be frustrated with the league.

...tis a much more enjoyable season that way. 😉
You can always try an online league on Sporting News, or Yahoo or ESPN for no earnings, but bragging rights. There are still hundreds of national challenges everywhere where you can play for money if you felt you needed that aspect to compete.
Life is not over, Digi. You're in a win-win if you bow out.
On a side note....
yea wasnt plannin on havin money involved

You can only choose 1 of the following (for fantasy purposes):TJ Houzmanzadeh, CIN
Andre Johnson, HOU
Lavaranues Coles, NYJ
Questions in Cincy and NY. Not that Johnson is a lock, but I think he'll have the most solid season. Housh is never a bad option either, even if Palmer isn't 100%. But the Jets are in such offensive disarray that I'd stay away if I were you.
