Urgent Please Read/respond!!!! Part 2

That S.O.B. looks like it will pass right down my street, really!

It's really no big deal though. We are staying. Got the generator ready with 45 extra gallons of gas, plenty water, food, Crown, Jose', and Margarita mix. LOL

Here we go again buddy. All we need is Tigger.



You and mom stay safe Jimmy. They say this is not as strong as Katrina but it is moving slower.

[Spark]

Here is my feeling on the whole thing. Monte dumped on all of us and Spark and Wayne have been handling things but have gotten burned out. Again,only my opinion. Wayne went MIA for awhile and Spark did it all. Then Spark went MIA and Wayne is doing alot more. IMO big hyped up plays ruined it.GoldenGreek was the Goldenchild and hes what brought the people to the site. You either had people like me that didn't care for him or the others that loved his ass. This site was built on 100's of members and really IMO only one member ran this place and it was him. No fault to him cause the big dogs let him get that big and he loved the attention as much as the site did.GG was against 90% of the posters every damn week. And then you have the guest having to chose sides. GG or the other 100 posters taking time out of there day too.That makes no sense to me at all. The day I knew this place was gone is when Wayne posted plays on a Sunday full of baseball and not one good luck was posted?????? An owner who don't give a fuck+All eggs in on one member= not a good site anymore!!!

Good luck buddy. hahahaha


I agree with most of what you say here vols. I do not want to give all my opinions on why the site is the way it is right now but I do not feel that GG or just any one poster is to blame. I told you and others over a year ago this was turning into a boring GOOD LUCK forum. Why?? Because peeps did not want to post because of the fear of being attacked. Some people have not been well liked on this forum but they kept the site full of drama and people like drama.

So many people have experienced "the good old days" in their lifetime ... sometime 3 or 4 different occasions. Well, I can tell you this ... it is hard to beat the "good old days" we all have experienced here. So much fun was ruined by just a few.

I remember not wanting to sign off at night because I was having so many laffs.

What I could never understand is your last sentence in your post. I feel and always have is how can others break up our gang? I just honestly do not get it.

STAY SAFE IN THE STORM MY FRIEND!!

Look who the cat dragged in?? Jimmy, hope things are going well with you and mom.


OMG I thought I was looking at an old thread when I saw this.

[vols fan]

I knew Monte had some health problems a year or two ago but I didnt know it was something he still deals with and definitely didn't know it was something that he deals with everyday!!! No way in hell would I bad mouth someone for not coming around because of health reasons.

[baseballdave]

Im staying also. Call or text if you need anything. We stocked up yesterday on everything.

You too buddy !! I am staying and as of now, so is my son in law and daughter. They have a generator if needed.
I will be home so if you need something, call or text me.

I hope we can have computer power so we can draft tomorrow night.

It is going to be a pleasure kicking JC and your ass in fantasy football !!!

I hope you both like my team name !!!

[baseballdave]

I think we should back off on Monte bashing, the man is obviously not healthy and could use our help versus our harsh words.

Jmo

Get well Monte, will definitely include you in my prayers

I don't know Monte and haven't emailed or spoke with him. But Wayne says he is in bad health and health is more important than BC.
There are enough good guys, Wayne and Spark and enough douchebags like me that can post and try and help get things like they were.

Monte, get well and you are in my prayers also.

[longnex]

Thanks Wayne, I really appreciate the kind and true words !!!

But, I have made some friends on here because of this site, and that is something I am thankful for. Nex moved back home and I see and talk to him alot and Dimer has met me the last 2 years in Cooperstown. I talk or text regular with JC, KB, Club, etc. I will meet Jimmy and Kaptain and a few others one day, so this site has been good to me.

Just me and my goats opinion.

And Jimmy, if you read this, stay safe buddy. I hope all works out for you. We are staying and waiting it out.

Im staying also. Call or text if you need anything. We stocked up yesterday on everything.

I take this back ... I'm out ... Kaz just posted.

Stay safe Jimmy. Im staying here also hoping the hurricane isnt too bad.

Also, sorry I posted if im one of the posters that ran you off.

now that is funny "shit"

Hey vols, You are right on several fronts.

I don't care what anybody thinks. This is still my favorite place on the net. Yeah, we don't always see eye to eye but so what, it happens in real life and it happens here too. and has long as dave and his goats post winners and vols posts his fades, i will still be here when football gets going

Thanks Wayne, I really appreciate the kind and true words !!!

Seriously, and I am a newbie compared to others, but I get turned off by all the animosity that seemed to go on between posters. When I first found the site, it seemed like everyone posted their plays and whether you agreed on disagreed, you still wished everyone "good luck." T
Then it became like a pissing match on who was the best capper and it made me feel like I had to "choose sides."
Now, douchebags like LWA just make me laugh because he doesn't even realize how stupid he sounds when he posts. But others, who seemed to have a clue, got on opposite sides of the fence and it seemed like you had to choose a side. It made being on here kinda uncomfortable.

Two things I was always told when I was young was that you can't argue politics and religion. Its a no win argument. I believe some issues started because of who was "politically correct" about what they believed and others disagreed.
The other thing was some got mad because of the "hyped up" plays. Any smart gambler knows that you can't have all those 50/100 star plays BUT not everyone is a smart gambler. But just like religion and politics, that is not something to argue about because everyone feels differently.

But, I have made some friends on here because of this site, and that is something I am thankful for. Nex moved back home and I see and talk to him alot and Dimer has met me the last 2 years in Cooperstown. I talk or text regular with JC, KB, Club, etc. I will meet Jimmy and Kaptain and a few others one day, so this site has been good to me.

I just wish it was like it was a few years ago, where mostly everybody got along. You are always gonna have guys like LWA - and please don't ban him. I wanna have some fun in football - but it is easy to put someone you don't like on ignore.

Just me and my goats opinion.

And Jimmy, if you read this, stay safe buddy. I hope all works out for you. We are staying and waiting it out.

Hey vols, You are right on several fronts.

As far as Monte goes, sure, many of us think he could/should do more. I've thought that many times too but it is hard for me to judge too harshly because i know he has been very sick and battling a disease that really takes a daily toll on him. It sucks on many fronts, for him and all that wish he could do more.

I have been burnt out completely about 5 times now in the last 2 years. A lot of it comes from running pools 52 weeks a year but it comes from here too.

Sometimes you just don't feel the passion others do and when you do show it, it gets misinterpreted. I too have wondered what if i come here some day and the site no longer exists. I don't own it and i don't talk daily to monte so who knows what he is doing or how he is feeling about keeping it going.

It was a burnt out moment that got me to start my own site a couple years ago. I always thought it would be neat to have and i always figured if something ever happened to this place, I would have my own to go to daily. I don't think i would want to just go to a new forum and start over again. I just don't. I was posting at both for awhile and it just got tedious. Sometimes it felt vacant here and posting honestly just seemed like a waste of time so i would hang out reading threads and just post on my site. Others will always keep this site going, but i am the only one who can keep mine afloat. If i don't post there, nobody will and people have had trouble understanding that.

I for one will be posting here again once football starts up and i can't wait.

As far as Joe goes, he is burnt out right now too for sure. He has been on a break and i told him to enjoy his time away. He will be back and has been recently here and there.

I don't care what anybody thinks. This is still my favorite place on the net. Yeah, we don't always see eye to eye but so what, it happens in real life and it happens here too.
