No call for threats, even in jest. Without Gekko, these boards are unreadable. Remember that we are all a bunch of geeks betting on non geeks.

He'll push and push, ultimately physical threats become tantamount. You like the Gekk Schwks well threats come with the territory !

Lets face it, dont we all have a glimmer of Gekko in us? Dont we all wish we could have the cujones to just place it on the line, lay our hand on the table and say come get me? How many other people are posting their sleepers...even if they may or not be his real thought processes? How many people make themselves targets by their brash cockiness? VIVA La Gekko!!!

I do not intend that to be a put down.I am amazed at how Mark and I approach the same contest from two far sides of the spectrum.He is ALL stats.While I get a gut feeling from watching a player and use stats to verify what I think.

Really Steve where are the pictures? Being an OG to quote Eddie part of the fun in the event are the pics and Mark's commentaries.He gives his opinions which are honest.He also last year started a thread for certain questions to be answered like What team will be the most improved and why and gave the winner a free sat. entry.He is a decent guy and good to talk to. Most of his opinions on players are true. If you get into the mind game crap than actually the people that fall for it have no minds.I crack up with the anti Mark verbage that occurs.He actually is a positive for the event. Look how many people responded to his chat and his posts.Can not wait for AC and after the draft to pound some down with all.

Hey Dave

Long time. Hope all is well in Fla. My approach is a combo of yours and Mark's. Though I will always go with my gut. Good luck in Veagas. Hope Wayne does well as well.

this is about the time where you make a public apology to Greg, Ryan, Fanball, the NFBC community, along with me. people considering joining this league who read your post are likely having second thoughts now. i'm sure greg and ryan appreciate that.

when talking fantasy baseball turns into YOU issuing physical threats, you may want to check with a professional on if you have anger management issues.

someone PM'd me and said you had a mancrush on me. sorry dog, i don't go that way. at this point, i will not respond to any further posts by you. and ps, stay the F away from me in AC.

I'm looking into rooms at Bally's as we speak!!!!

You gotta lighten up Rockitsauce! Gekko is a teddy bear once you get to know him, and he (like any good player) is aware of his strengths and weaknesses.

Marty marty - we have some unfinished business to take care of. it's not often the same person beats me in two leagues in the same year. good job!

unfortunate for you, my batteries are recharged and i'm looking at sweeping all three of the live leagues i'm playing. i've won 3 of the last 7 live $1,300 leagues i've played in. winning 6 out of the last 10 will be quite an accomplishment.

Wow, I go out to dinner, come back, and find that I missed all the good stuff.

Things are getting interesting...and to think, a few months ago Vegas was supposed to be the place to draft NFBC.

[/QUOTE]Seriously - there is a fine line on the boards and like it or not you crossed it. Until someone invents the sarcasm font that is. Read your post again and see if there was anything that was even remotely funny about what you posted. Personally - I feel your apology was lame. You wrote it - be man enough to admit you screwed up and that it won't ever happen again.

Greg/Tom don't police these boards, because frankly they have more important things to do - so it's up to us I guess. Try again my friend- with a little more humility this time.
