I've been meaning to respond to this since about an hour after you posted it, but for me, life has just gotten crazy. I have much less downtime at work and at home due to this covid thing and having an almost one year old now and my dog just got diagnosed with diabetes and all kinds of shit. And what little internet time I have, I try to devote to fantasy football and cat videos. I just simply don't have the free time that I used to. I know you hate the open drafts with the mega teams, but the less thinking and research I have to do deal with, the better right now. I've been running on instinct for a while now and when I do have to research, it's not near as in depth as it used to be. So, that's my excuse for not coming on here and making fun of all you guys' sorry ass picks and telling you how kick ass my teams are.
@citysushi ,,, I still try to at least skim through the chat pages and I do recall some banter back and forth between you and someone about something political a while back. I'm guessing this is what you are referring to. I'm not a very political guy to begin with, but I will tell you that I didn't hold anything against you for whatever it was. I consider you just as much a part of this group as anyone else in here, except for maybe Nos and to a lesser degree Shane, since he helped hold this thing together while Nos was boycotting the old hoop or got banned or whatever the hell happened back then. Anyway, I hope you reconsider leaving or if you do take a break, you end up coming back. I'm pretty sure that your post wasn't directed at me in any way, but I still feel the need to let you know that you would be missed if you left. I can't even remember who it was that you got into it with or what it was about, but I really hope they don't hold anything against you, either. If they do, then they need to reconsider their stance on that.
Anyway, I know that I haven't been pulling my weight on the chat aspect of this board recently, but I would hate for this to just die off. And honestly, I don't think it will. But in the end, running these drafts are tough and time consuming and if it is not fun for you, Nos, then there is no reason to expect you to keep doing them. Maybe doing them less frequently is a solid option. We could still chat here. Maybe take a little time to iron out ideas for the next draft.
And yes, Savaii's death really hit this board hard (or... the old one). Fuck cancer. And yes, I miss Ritz.
