First of all,
sants and worbs are actually telling the truth. jay and i did up and leave without warning. They don't really deserve the whole forum to be up in arms at them, and they have behaved with more maturity and class on this forum than I have to them.
I had my reasons for leaving, and so did jay - and if worbs and sants care to know I will be happy to inform them in more detail via pm or on the davidians forum.
What I will say to the A7 community is that the decision for me personally was not made until very recently... I wasn't sure what I was going to do with my players, or with regards to GLB in general, until only a couple days ago. After the loss to GPR in the finals, I didn't think about or mess with GLB for a few days - and then when I did return I found that all of the contracts for more than half the team were expiring within a few hours. I also had pms from several of them saying they were looking elsewhere.
To be honest, I can't blame them, and it was just a rough situation - as sants has openly admitted, I did the majority of the operations for Waco for the past 2 seasons, and not to attack worbs and sants, but the fact is I did so without much help, but at the same time I did recieve a lot of criticism on the few occasions that the team did falter, even in victory, and didn't percieve much in the way of gratitude for leading my team to a 2 season record of 35-3, including directing an offense that led A7 in most statistical categories this season and was second only to Margaritaville in season 2. At the end of the day, with many of my players leaving (I recruited every player on the davidians not owned by sants, worbs, joe leno, or myself), I just didn't have the energy to try to continue being owner of a team in all but name.
That said, I do want to apologize to worbs and sants here for my treatment of them, and I openly admit that I have not handled this situation as well as I should have. I wish the Davidians luck, and I will say that to anyone with free agents that is being recruited by worbs and sants, with me out of the picture I'm sure they will be quite active and capable managers of their team. Waco will actually be a better place to play now that the onus of managing it doesn't fall on one person.
Good luck to everybody that I've spent time with in Waco - it's been a good ride, but I'm afraid the time has come for me to part ways.
