Startin' early with this. Probably won't matter much for me, but still...
Last year, RIV's team was awesome, and he took home the RCL trophy. I sure wish I could say I've reached enlightened status and revel in the river of life and treasure the experience of having the highest raw score in 2011 (118), but coming in second anyway, and blah, blah, blah...
But you know what? I'm a craven, bitter old man that just can't get over it. The one time in my life I get lucky in the draft, mostly avoid consequential injuries and over-achieve to the extent that fucking Rudy (from Notre Dame, not RazzBall) inquired about the exact nature of my PED cocktail...
And all I get is second-fucking-place?? Because 3 or 4 of my league-mates (very, very loose use of the term... even more-so than usual) tapped out sometime before Memorial Day?
DIS-A-POINTED!!!!
So... I really want to avoid the same fate in 2012. (After all, 2012 will be the last year of baseball, and everything else... I guess we should thank God that, according to the Mayan calendar anyway, he's not ending the world until December (poor NFL fans!))
So yeah... Can I get some "Hell yeah's" from team owners that can prove they actively managed their teams all the way through October in 2011 and would like to be in a truly competitive league in 2012? Can those same folks gimme another "Hell yeah!" when I ask Grey and Rudy to find a way to allow us to form our own league? Can I get one last "Hell yeah!" from a few folks willing to join the league I'm gonna volunteer to manage?
