I agree I dont think I am a lock as lots of things can happen. Am I the favorite, yeah, but that is why we play the game...to see how it turns out. Lots of stuff can happen, somebody can go out and buy a couple of impact players for the playoffs or I could get an injury....I have seen both happen before.

As far as tanking I dont see how that helps me to tell you the truth and yes if you can cut salary and get players to build with, it is truly the way to go, but you have to do it right. When I was relegated from the NBBA in season 19 I picked up Laurent and Salpigkidis as two players to build around, both are close to NT players at the moment and shoudl be there next.

Other things have helped this season as well, I believe I had a more favorable schedule this year than in the past, both with respect to when I played guys early on and who I played on the road in the other division. For example if I had to play the Eagles at their place it would have been a different story I am sure. The other things I have seen throughout the years (I have played since season 3) is you have to make adjustment to how your team plays as changes are made with the Game Engine each year. Last year I bought a high end PG and figured (as did several) that I would be a contender because of that, it did not work out and I ended up dumping him, Jose Castillo. This year I tried playing Milner at PG instead of SF where he was doing fine, it helped my team overall and has proven to be a good move. Next year the GE will lessen the impact of the LI offense, so changes will once again need to be made....

But back to the point, yeah I think there are windows for teams, as teams get old and at the DII level your salary can easily exceed what you can bring in so you do have to sell and retool. That is why I think the toughest Division is DII.....just a few thoughts of mine....

Out of respect to Jason I took down the last of my two posts. Just bringing this up to make sure no one thought he removed it nor did he ask me to. He and I have ironed out our differences over BB Mail and are on the same page again. Truth, justice and the American way.

Nice starting price on your young guy on the market. I'd say make Shameless buy him, but only being in D5 he probably doesn't have much cash.

If only he was listed at $10,999,999. Day late, dollar short i suppose.

You aren't a day late, he is still up for bid. And I'll gladly loan you a dollar.

You still owe one of his slumpbusters a dollar anyway... or was that two dollars?

And here I blamed Yuck for the hand on my ass during that hug.

We went to Dairy Queen afterwards. They were properly compensated.
