Needles in complete disaray

Burt the Butcher · September 2nd, 2008, 05:45 PM

Needles failed to make the necessary declarations on time. His lack of involvment over the last 2 years has put me in a position to think we need to find a replacement owner. I will give him a call tonight, and if I can get a hold of him (sometimes a task in and of itself) I will see where he wants to go. If he is to continue, it will be without any rookies, which my feeling will cause an unbalance in the league, what with the last place team losing the first overall pick. Not a good situation.

So if anyone has a new owner in mind, keep them on the back burner and if need be, let's roll quickly on this.

I know... I've made numerous attempts to contact him to trade for DMC.

I know someone who might be willing to jump in.. but

the learning curve in this league is steep and I can't imagine taking over a team in disarray like Needles 2 days before the live season..

While I don't want to see Needles get reposessed, if it does happen, I would suggest giving the new owner Needles' current rookie crop and the option of declaring contracts for them. At least make the team somewhat palatable to a new owner.

Hello all. Do what you must. I definitely have become scarce over the past few years so I won't make any excuses. If you feel comfortable with a replacement owner, I completely 100% understand the decision.

I am four days away from having two less huge non-FF distractions. Unless and until the league decides to hire a replacement, I'd like to attempt to 'catch up' in the meantime - assign players to the different squads, give them their contract years, etc.

I will abide by whatever you guys decide.

Weaselishly yours,

BTW, even if you guys decide to keep me around, I would abide by any sort of punishment/penalty you all decide.

Burt the Butcher · September 4th, 2008, 07:02 PM

We've decided to keep you around. Penalties have been assessed. You need to get one more IOP to remove the temp 250cb penalty you are currently carrying.

3 years on the 1.1 pick? Yeesh.

Moving Croyle to active takes care of this, no?
