Many Thanks.....

Post by DOUGHBOYS » Tue Dec 03, 2013 10:15 am

I was on vacation last week. I don't care for vacations. I'm a baseball guy and unless the time is taken off during summer, vacations don't mean baseball to me.
Anyways, I was gone during Thanksgiving so I need to do my belated 'Thanks' giving....

Thanks Tim McCarver for retiring....Thanks Vin Scully for not ....
Thanks Dan Dierdorf.....If there is a reminder that there are 'Tim McCarver's in every sport, you are football's.
Thanks MLB for getting rid of Harold Reynolds.... Oh wait, that hasn't happened yet.....
Thanks Dayton Moore for all the material.......You are to me what Obama is to late night talk show hosts.....
Thanks Yasiel Puig for the entertainment.....I still don't know what is more entertaining....The physical abilities beyond that of normal men......or the Three Stooges approach to playing the game......
Thanks Cubs, the team of eternal hope.....There are few people alive to even verify that the Cubs won a World Series in 1908......Roosevelt was President then.....Not Franklin.....Theodore......... Two World Wars have been fought.....Some believe that if the Cubs were involved, we may have lost those Wars......
Thanks David U for not being on the baseball Boards.....
Thanks KJ for all the good ideas and good stuff.......Amazing, really.......
Thanks Walla Walla.....It's like the Hotel California....You can check out all you want....But you can never leave....
Thanks Rog....Love the long conversations.....Through bad things, come good things.....
Thanks Mia.....Just for being a kid......
Thanks Gekko.....Don't ever change....Behind the all-knowing exterior.....Is an all-knowing and well-informed interior.....
Thanks Todd Zola....You're an easy guy to root for.....Not afraid to spread the knowledge....The well of that knowledge is deep.....But no match for the integrity.....That, that is endless.....
Thanks Andy Nolan....I look forward to the exchanges of e-mails.....Still the most unassuming assassin the NFBC knows.......or doesn't know.......
Thanks Kent Stermon.....For putting Andy and I together....You've helped me more than you'll ever know....
Thanks Mike the Mouth..... THE best slow draft expediter in the world.....The Boards would not be the same without you....
Thanks Greg.....For letting me have my own play pen....And for getting the best fantasy players on the planet in one place.....
Thanks NFBC....Over the years, it has turned from a group....To a community....To now, a family.......
Thanks Glenn....For being the 'reasonable voice' on the Boards....And say hi to your Dad for me.....
Thanks Perry......I love playing in those CBS Leagues......
Thanks Stan Kaye.....And yes, I still watch 'The Rifleman'....
Thanks Bryan Vogel......Love the exchanges.....
Thanks to the Anthony's.....They are what Bros should be....And congrats on the new addition, Joe.....
Thanks fantasy football for making fantasy baseball look better and better each year......
Head to Head....Playoffs......... :roll: :roll: :roll:
Thanks Bill James for making my birthdays something to look forward to.....
Thanks Ron Shandler....I give you a lot of grief and don't read your stuff......But you are a vital part of the fantasy community.........
Thanks Matthew Berry....The book was great....It had me :D ....It had my wife :roll: ....The desired effect....
Thanks to everybody reading this.....Hopefully after reading this section of the Boards, you knew a little bit more than you did before....And maybe had a laugh along the way.....Many thanks to all of you.....
On my tombstone-
Wait! I never had the perfect draft!

You're a classic Dan!! You're the only guy that can be missed on a fantasy baseball board in late November. You keep these boards alive when most baseball stuff is left for dead. Your passion for this game is unparalleled.
Joe

I should have included you too, Joe! And probably missed others, darn it.
Some around me say that 'passion' is being nice.
That I'm obsessed. I can live with that. :lol:

On your lists of thanks I would like to hijack it and say thanks from Mia and Rog and Kathy and Ryan also.
I would like to also say thank you to everyone of you all that have touched the martin family in one way or another over this long journey.
We had her 1year MRI 2 weeks ago and it was all clean and everything is healing up nicely. It made giving thanks at a time of thank fullness a little bit more special than usual. So from all that we say thank you .

And a big thanks to you too Doughy for giving me a reason take a break from fantasy football and make time to check out these boards during a time of year when my fantasy attention is almost solely devoted to the Dark Side. ;)

Keep up the great work Bud. If "getting a life" ever takes you away from these boards, getting one is not that important. :)
