    I am on the verge of quitting, or getting kicked out of my dynasty that I've been talking about on the forums. The GM in front of me currently in the draft is not active at all. He has checked in a few times, knowing he is on the clock, has TIME to comment on the message board, but doesn't pick. We're in the 3rd stinking round! To me that means 2 things. #1 he doesn't know the players and should stick to redraft. #2 he is selfish and doesn't give a crap about the GM's waiting o pick. Every round that this had happened, I comment for the player on the clock, and I get smart-ass comments toward me for rushing people. It infuriates me... Obviously the Commish has lack of control since he works with most of these guys, and he didn't set a time limit. I would never make my league mates wait when I know I'm on the clock. I have done my homework, and that is just plain rude and selfish to make others wait when they are ready to pick...thanks for listening

    When you do get on the clock, post on the message board, "Vacation Time!, I will be out of the country for the next two weeks. I will make my pick when I get back."

    I am gonna chill for a bit but I have a great ' f you' towards the spineless commish.
    We are on 3.1 and the GM in front of me has checked in 2x, posted on message board, but has not picked.
    I have 3.2 &3.3,...I've been ready to pick for awhile. I research everyday, all off season, this IS DYNASTY you know. I know my s*it.
    Commish is after me at 3.4...I'm gonna pick my 3.2, then sit on my 3.3 for a week until he starts bitchin'...
    Sounds so juvenile but I'm tired of this crap...I could do my back to back in a sec, I know what I'm gonna do but, tired of his drunk ass getting after me for "rushing" picks. We have no time limit so...it's his own fault.
    Think I'm out after this season, same crap for 5 seasons...sucks though, put so much time into my team

    Daft owners who think their team is the sh*t, when there not. Yet we constantly hear how great it is. This of course allowing them to think that their sixth tier talent can be traded for your first tier guys, straight up.

    I started doing a leaguewide evaluation after drafts to see where others and I made a mistake. Not only to learn from that, but also to see what players fell too far and try to acquire those players.

    most peoples lives are a direct reflection of the expectations of those around you

    what if you have a higher expectation for yourself than those you associate with?

    I don't mind doing laundry....I just hate putting the clothes away....

    I also hate going to the market....

    Finally, I hate that my dynasty roster (see below) is almost to the point that I can't do much more to improve, which in turn doesn't allow me to trade....

    There have been times where I have thought of trading my studs for the sake of challenging myself.,..nah

    Well you did spell Williams wrong, but other than that it's a pretty nice roster.

    Yes.  The draft hostage-taker.  This is the worst fantasy villain IMHO.  I'll take bad trader, overvalue-guy, or absentee owner over him any day.  The nerve of this guy.  Ruins it for everyone, just for the momentary power trip
