I am very pleased with my fantasy draft picks this season. P.Manning, E.Lacy, O.Beckham, and the Seahawks D/ST highlight my team this season. The bye weeks will be a challenge, but I've done this before and believe that I will do fine. I'm looking forward to a fun and successful fantasy season.

How do your teams look this season ? Did you have a good draft ? How deep is your bench ?

When someone agrees to join a group or a league , IMO, they take on the responsibility to give their best each and every week of their committed time . It is the poor sportsman that abandons their duty to the rest of the league when they find they are not doing well .

I respect the last place member that has no chance to win the championship, but still marches on with his head held high, over any champion . The Champion wins the league trophy and bragging rights, but the sportsman wins RESPECT .

As a Fantasy League Manager, it is my responsibility to ALL my league's members to try to ensure a competitive league for the ENTIRE SEASON . This is my 4th season as a League Manager and it is not so easy a job.
I must 1st recruit enough players to fulfill the minimum number of teams/owners to satisfy per our internet sponsor. Then I must schedule a date/time when the most members can attend a live online league draft. Following that, the regular season's competition gets underway and I can relax and enjoy competing like any other league member.
I do monitor each team ,every week, but usually don't need to exercise any of my powers as league manager in the first half of the season.

About midway through every season (so far) I at least one member that is failing their promise to the league. They don't try to acquire players, and stop or appear to have stopped caring about their team. If they set a lineup it is at the last minute and not a best effort. Such behavior is unfair to the rest of the league that are still playing and places the poor sport in jeopardy of being replaced.

It is never easy to Drop a team owner from a fantasy league . I usually go out of my way to contact the person and give them a chance to explain their behavior and offer them a second chance to improve. Failing this, a league manager can Drop/Replace the person, or Drop the person and run their old team using the powers of the league manager, or run the team until a replacement can be found to take over that team.

No league manager wants to have to drag any of their leagues team owners to the seasons finish line, we'd prefer it if all league members (even the last place member) cheerfully participated to the finish.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (10h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (11h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (11h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (11h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (12h) : Who? What?

beast (21h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
