WE DID IT!!! I did it! You did it! We did it! We left that awesome league that Tim Donaghy ran and created our own even awesomer league. Making it the awesomest league online. We all did that. I knew we could. I was as confident as I've ever been that I could make this league great. I was confident because I had a great core of GMs coming over, and more importantly I had a great couple of guys who volunteered their valued time to help me. Without either this league wouldn't be close to what it is now. Know that.
Now the hard part. Running this league has been tons of fun for me for over a year. Sure it required tons of time as well, but it was time I was always happy to give. But all chapters come to an end. Same is true with this chapter. I've made some good friends in this league. It would be rather impossible for me to run a league like this and associate with people this often and not become friends. Unfortunately I've also lost some good friends in this league. I may be a old man at 31 years old but this league and the people in it have taught me lots. I'll never forget the friendships and rivalries that were forged during my time here. They truly meant a lot. I will also be relinquishing ownership of the Dallas Mavericks as well. I won a few titles and went through the league's MVP and best player both times. That makes me feel better about this. Much respect Ben.
Please do NOT worry about the future of this league. It is in good hands. I am just as confident that I'm leaving the league in safe hands. Doug and Wig will spearhead running the league for the near future. It will be in their hands and I trust that any decisions they make will be in the best interest of the league. That was my number one responsibility and I know it will be theirs as well. Don't worry about the league guys. It will be just fine without me. It won't be as fiery, but it'll be fine
Raby...love you bro. I know you'll be sad without me here but think of it this way, now you have a chance at winning the Midwest!
Doug...Love you man no matter what. Thanks for all your help with this league. Couldn't have done it without you and that's a fact. Take care of our baby. I know you will.
Spencer(Wig)...Thanks for being there when I needed a real vet in the sim league business. I know I would blow your inbox up at times with sim league questions but you always helped at the drop of a dime. You also helped when I needed advice on life and other important things that trumped the significance of sim league. I consider you a friend and not sure the league would be what it is now without your guidance. Thanks man.
Scott...I know your gone but just in case you make a comeback...Everything done in this league had your hand in it and no matter how much you pissed me off at times that was always a good thing. You made me always rethink my first reaction...and sometimes my 2nd and 3rd...lol Thanks for your time and help with this league man.
Tray...Always liked you man. You started the podcasts and changed the game..lol Those were great. Thanks for the time you've put in as well man. I appreciated it a lot. I really did.
Geoff...Thanks for being a dick bro...lol Seriously man you've been here from the beginning and have added tons of value to the league. Please keep it up. I know you have a lot more to offer the league as well.
Ben...For as much shit as I gave you, you were always my toughest competitor in this league and always brought out the best in me. For that I thank you. Keep givin em hell man.
Conroy, coltsguy, rpf, J2(xist), 78, Eazy, prej, Ryan(syndicate), Inner, jhow, loco, nickmalone, pauly...I do apologize for not giving each of you your own little send off but I love you all. Just know that. Fuck you Conroy(not really, mad respect), CG your a baby back bitch , xist I know everyone always jokes about you being the nicest guy in the league but it's not a joke. Your a great guy and thanks for your dedication to this league man, 78 I am very sad we never got to have those great Texas playoff matchups we used to have. I have a feeling you'll be back to dominance soon. Eazy wtf man your team looks so good every year yet seriously man thanks for being a great part of this league. Def gonna miss the RPF/Eazy threads. prej sorry about the Jordan injury man, I still feel bad about that..lol Ryan I barely knew you bro but you're a cool dude...good luck this season man you have a good squad. Inner your team is on the up and up finally, just keep that patience and you'll be contending in no time. jhow i was sad when you disappeared and just as happy when you returned, take care and enjoy those kids bro! loco, loco, loco...man have you pissed me off a time or two, but I always get over it and you're a great part of this league man. nick malone...keep your positive outlook on everything and keep on trucking man, your def the 2nd nicest behind J2. pauly I dunno how you made the playoffs all those years with what appeared to be mediocre teams but I it's def evidence of your talent as a GM and gameplanner...keep it going man.
To the rest of you I didn't name.....I love you too, I just didn't get to know you that well. But your presence and activity is just as important as these other guys. I won't be falling off of the face of the earth. I'll still be around guys. I won't be deleting my profile from the forum so you can always PM me(although I may not respond for a few days) or email me to keep in touch(chadanthony2001@gmail.com). If any of you ever need advice about sim league or anything for that matter feel free to hit me up guys. I'll def miss this. But like they say when a door closes another opens which holds true here. This will give me extra time to focus on something else I am very passionate about which is definitely a great thing. It's a very bitter sweet moment. Who knows maybe I'll return one day to bring a team out of the abyss back to dominance! LOL Just....thank you guys. Thank you for everything; your help; your gratitude; your understanding; your friendships; your stubbornness, and your advice. It all meant so much to me, really.
