Any of you owners have "problem agents" on your team that you were more than happy to unload this off-season, like you had a great big weight lifted off of your shoulders? I know I did...I never thought I could have so many people tell me what a shitty owner I am for releasing their player after a 15-1 season where we lost to the eventual league champions in the playoffs. Fuuuuuuuuck...

we had 1 or 2 last year, and traded their asses midseason. It probably hurt why we did bad in the playoffs, but there are times when some people just must go!

Yeah, these guys were actually okay on our team forums and such, but one of them freaked out when i didn't have a contract offer for him (i've been busy, what can i say?) and posted on our team forum about what a shitty owner I am and how he wishes our team was better-run and this and that and the other thing...
The funny thing is I was planning on extending his contract but by him beating me to the punch w/ his comments I actually made out pretty well by not having to have him around for another season. It's okay, his build wasn't all that great anyhow.

I love all my agents, and I think they feel good respect toward me as an owner!
I had problems in season 6 with our kicker though, glad he didn't come back for season 7

Had a few guys in season 6. But we made short work of them. All of the agents on the team in season 7 were great. All returned as well except for 1

Actually, the ones I did let go of I felt guilty about.
But we had the opportunity to make some big upgrades at key positions and be much more competitive this season.

You guys redid the entire roster! Lol
Wildfire had nearly a 100% retention rate both seasons. We lost one guy after season 6 b/c he was unhappy about equipment (who is laughing now, we're going to make over $40,000,000 in ticket sales next season b/c of planning LOL), and after season 7 we lost two players to their own teams b/c they needed them.
Fortunately, due to networking and good word about the team, I've had about 10 agents ask me to join. No recruiting necessary. From the looks of it, we'll have 100% retention after this season as well.

Too many primadonna bitches out there - they're just headaches whose inflated egos constantly need to be coaxed like they're Bort's gift to GLB. I'd rather lose than suck it up in order to win to give them a championship.
