the sign up sheet. I phoned him an emailed him all day before I had to leave for dentist. I think he believed he had a longer time to pick. He has bought his team.

xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Gentlemen:

I had a work issue that took me out of the office all day. I told RJ when I would pick. I've been watcging the SOM draft site not the thread site. Didn't know it was that important. I have the original 1969 Strat-O set and have been a Commissioner of a ten-year league. Never done any of this online, so sorry about the screw up.

Won't you reconsider having me in this league?

Gordie-
Thank you for the message - let's resume the draft. Jamesgang77 has graciously backed out.

I will respond more in another post

Thanks for your reconsideration.

:D :D Remember we are virgins. Gordie is missing a few teeth.

Gordie-
thanks for coming through, albeit at the last moment. Please understand that we have 11 other guys that have all invested in a team for this league and all of us have had issues surrounding a draft through the somdraft.com site where somebody doesn't show and you end up wasting a colassal amount of time.

Sorry we got impatient, but most of us have been through this many times and when someone has never posted it is a real danger sign, thus the concern

So accept my apologies, thank you for offering yours and please have fun in the league - it's really a good group of guys! And by far the funnest way to draft once we get going.

If you have any issues where you won't be able to make a pick in the coming days, post a message here so we know. We will be patient if we know you are engaged.

Thanks!


Now, feel free to ask away with any more question! We are glad to have you!

I am picturing Gordie exactly like the original GH - so that impacted the decision too - would hate to meet him in an alley on a dark night :lol:

game 3 of 69 series on sny tonight doing some video scouting of blair, powell gentry, etc for this draft.
