Thrope,

It should be fun watching you squirm all year. I know there are 15 teams in the league that's why I have you pegged 15th! Sheets is a pc. of crap. I was glad to see you pay for LAST years #'s. You hope Berkman can come back in May, but you never know. In case you didn't know about the EA SPORTS jinx..Man ram is on the cover this year that cannot bode to well for you. Any doubts see (dan heatly, ray lewis, michael vick, culpepper, marshall faulk, Randy Johnson.

I have you down as the guy that rapes everyone in your league via trade-good thing you can't do that here.

Good luck.

Mike McSunas

Did you buy that new computer from your vast financial empire, or the money you made by contacting people who were already interested in the NFBC and telling them to put you as a referal and you would split the 100 bucks with them? Come on and try to tell people you did not do that? Quite an accusation. Any evidence to support this?

C'mon GG, this is a very minor issue since there were alternatives - extra battery, charge during the break. A small inconvenience at most. Everyone should've prepared for the worst - no power; if some got it, so what.

it may be a minor issue for you. i use my laptop for more than most.

No it did not work on me, I would look at that as fraud.

I just overheard a few guys talking about how funny they think it is that you act like such a big man and then are wiring 50 bucks from Walmart to make an extra 50 bucks. What a loser.

Chest Rockwell · Post by **Chest Rockwell** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 8:56 am

I would not make such an accusation without facts to back it up. Notice he did not deny it. I know it is not Greg and Tom's personal money but it is a budget they are judged on.

On another note- anyone ever think of finding out who Greg's superior is and sending a nice letter detailing his hard work on this thing and how well it went and how much we appreciate the efforts.

You are a freaking liar and you know it. Should not leave paper trails, I will get my facts in order and present them.

King of Queens · Post by **King of Queens** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 9:05 am

This could get uglier than Baltic vs PW.

Stay tuned...

Chest Rockwell · Post by **Chest Rockwell** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 9:09 am

Nothing ugly about it, he will try to make it go away because he knows there are facts behind it.

If he had any courage he would say hey I cut a corner and made a few extra bucks what's the big deal, offer to return it if it is a major issue.

Watch closely how differently he responds after he sees people other than me have an issue with it. That should tell you a lot. If Greg or Tom wanted to make an issue of it I would be happy to provide the names of the guys I was talking to about it. The records will indicate he was their reference. I am not going to sell any of them out by dropping names out here. I imagine that a few more people may have been contacted by him too.

King of Queens · Post by **King of Queens** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 9:13 am

Curious as to why you're bringing it up.

Chest Rockwell · Post by **Chest Rockwell** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 9:17 am

2 reasons:

1)To show what a big hat no cattle this guy is.

2) It is not right in my opinion others may feel differently and I am ok with that. I would have let it go at my initial comment if he did not essentially call me a liar.

Simple enough?

Gordon Gekko · Post by **Gordon Gekko** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 9:19 am

koq - there's nothing there... i gave a WCOFF owner who was checking out the NFBC some info on the NFFC and NFBC, and left it as...

"Good luck to you. If you need more info about the NFBC & NFFC, let me know and I'll try to provide it. If you decide to join either or both and you feel that I'm the one who got you into them , I can get a $100 referral fee from Greg. I'd be willing to split it with you, $50 each. Let me know.”

Next thing I know, the guy signed up and said that I was the reason. You’d have to talk to that guy to see why he thought i was the reason.

trust me the facts are on my side

His name is Gekko, he's money hungry ... does that surprise you? There are millionaires who clip coupons to save fifteen cents on a loaf of bread. I could care less what other people do so long as they don't step on my shoes. Move on.

Chest Rockwell · Post by **Chest Rockwell** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 9:24 am

It is only an isolated incident why would you refer to me as someone who it worked on, your own words. Would you not remember who this person is... The more you talk the deeper the hole you dig.

As far as what you did not all that big of a deal to me, how you reacted afterwards and how it goes against everything you claim you are is the funny part.

Chest Rockwell · Post by **Chest Rockwell** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 9:26 am

Well it is hard to tell tone in email, simple enough was not meant to be condescending at all.

Writing things like you would think that but you would be wrong is condescending.

I will leave it be, I made my point. No one wins a pissing match with that guy he has way too much time on his hands and way too much imagination for that.

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 9:27 am

Help me out here, what is wrong with getting a referral or splitting it? The goal was to get 300 participants, and last I checked, Gekko wasn't a Krause employee, so why shouldn't he benefit (if he does) from getting others involved?

Just asking.

Chest Rockwell · Post by **Chest Rockwell** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 9:32 am

NY,

No I did not. Nothing wrong with splitting a referral IF you had a part in recruiting the guy. If the guy is already playing and you tack it on- just bad taste IMO. This is more about showing how the guy is than any thing else. Like I said I will it leave it be. People can form their own opinions I have to worry about drafting Bonds, Prior, Wood, Buerhle, Sweeney, Borowski- I am kidding I only drafted Bonds and when Prior was there at 17 I could not resist.

Plymouth · Post by **Plymouth** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 9:34 am

I am not understanding this at all Chest. The offer was on the table for anyone that wanted it to get $100 for signing up a player. If they want to split the proceeeds, who cares? I met both Mark and Jason in Chicago this past week-end and found both of them to be fun and up front guys. I disagree with GG many times but he did nothing wrong here that I can see.

Chest Rockwell · Post by **Chest Rockwell** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 9:37 am

Plymouth

I think people took what I intended the wrong way, if enough people do that you have to take a look at how you presented it so that is my fault.

Debating this over and over does not change anything and is fruitless.

Writing things like you would think that but you would be wrong is condescending.I'm glad you remember that comment I made--I guess you're still ticked that I told you that you were wrong. It's actually the title of a book by Pete Franklin, the legendary sports radio host who died last year. I was never a fan of Franklin's, but I always liked how he shut people up. Your post that prompted my response was something about it not mattering where you draft from. I think if you asked the 300 participants of Saturday's draft, you would find most people disagreeing with your statement. So, yes, you could STILL argue your point, but you'd be wrong.

Now, let's move to the topic at hand. If you actually believe that something underhanded has occurred, wouldn't it be better to speak directly with Greg or Tom about the situation? Calling out someone with secondhand knowledge is pretty low, and whether or not Gordon "bribed" people to play doesn't impact you in the slightest.

Let's move on, shall we?
