And a lot of teams offer rental players to actually win a title. While it was nice to be dropped down to contend - and I will admit it is fun to be atop the rankings - it was NOT the real reason we did it. We were disappointed we weren't in the thick of it last season, but I probably didn't make it real clear that we only had one complete section of the stadium and couldn't survive financially as a franchise.
To further clarify, we would have been dropped whether I sold my players as rentals or not. We had some bad-break losses earlier last season that were close and could've gone either way, but we ended up losing them and that would have placed us as one of the 2-3 worst teams in the league. We have since made some key acquisitions from other teams that decided to go slow-build through the connects I've made on this game and are now stronger than we were last season, but we could have pulled a couple of those game out last year!

To be honest, there are a couple teams we could lose to this year, Nic Cage being one of them. I'm sure they'll be pulling out all the stops to beat us, as we will them!
