Team is getting sold back since the owner didn't have the time to run the team anymore.

Thats sucks...they were a powerhouse and now they've lost 2 straight. Hopefully they can find an owner who can pull it together over there.

Everyone will be signed to contracts that ends this season and will be available to sign for other teams. The team will be CPU owned for the rest of the year and then moved to BBB. Another empty team in the west in other words.

If your implication is that the West is a joke, I should point out that this is the second 14 win team from last season to gut, dallas being the first, and if anything that speaks volumes about how tough this league is. To be perfectly honest, there's only 3 teams in the east that would intimidate me. You have fewer gut jobs to be sure, which means making the playoffs from the East is probably harder (marginally), but securing homefield in the West is a bitch, and promoting out of it is still about 10 times harder than it is out east. I would still expect all 9 of the intact west teams to win over the 5th place east team, most of them comfortably.

That was not my implication at all, it didn't even cross my mind that it was possible to take it that way. I'm sorry. I have the utmost respect for the western conference. I do agree that there are several strong teams in the west and several teams that could be better than the best team in the eastern conference.

Again, I'm sorry, English is not my first language and that could perhaps lead to misunderstandings.

This is really sad news. The lumberjacks were one of the best teams in the A7. It is always a sad thing to see such a good team reset. But life happens and we are reminded that real people are behind the icons running the franchises.

If any of those players would like to join the Bombers, you would have an owner who is committed to building a winner.

The Bombers just improved to (5-4) after being gutted and left for dead just a little less than a month ago.

futuregm has done a great job rebuilding this franchise. They have a tough road ahead though - the next 6 games could all be losses for you guys before a winnable date with the Ninja's of the east.

I say we finish no worse than (7-9)
Best case scenario we finish (9-7) and that would be some kind of record! LOL

Yeah, Austin has 6 days to be relieved of more personnel before you tackle them....I'd say 7-9 is realistic, but probably no better...still a fine job in getting the rebuilding started...stay positive and keep recruiting hard...
