Just received the "memo" on my desk shortly before our game tonight from the owner (Brett Snyder). He's run into a financial hole, and WILL NOT be returning for over a month, so the team will run out of its contract by the seasons close. Secretly; I'm glad...the team was on a fast path to destruction. Would have gotten 210% worse Season 7 since I planned on leaving and I'm the glue that holds the team together. Some people just aren't cut out to own a team... (that's not trash talk, I've spoke vocally about this to him, and w/ the team. It's pure honesty.) I'm awaiting all my tools, I plan on restructuring ALL contracts to end on Day 40, leaving it an open team. I REALLY am not 100% sure if he extended the rights to the team, all I know is the players WILL NOT be returning.
So here's the scoop; Teams looking for a jump on recruiting just before the offseason, I will be compiling a list of players who would like to stick around the league. All I ask is, let's keep this professional. I know it's a bit far fetched on this site, but I ask that NO ONE contact my players about playing for your team until I get their legitimate answer from them. I'm a man of my players, and I worry more about them being comfortable before I worry about winning a game. I could help out ALOT more than any PM you send them. I have a GREAT relationship with 97% of the players on the team, and I could put in the best word.
We plan on fighting the rest of the season as a family, so no trades or releases. One I get a sufficient list of players who'd like to stick around I'll be MORE THAN happy to share it w/ the league.
I'm just glad no more players have to go through the turmoil they've witnessed inside the team. I'm also glad I busted my a** night and day for the organization for two seasons (sarcasm). I wash my hands w/ it though.
Win or Lose, it was fun playing w/ you all!! Look for ONE HELL OF A FIGHT from now until our Seasons End.
Thank You,
Bobby
