Like MadCow said, I wasn't ragging on Winona at all. On the contrary, the most fun I've had in this game has come from some of the banter that flies back and forth concerning Winona. As far as I'm concerned, either by design or by accident, MadCow is a freakin' genius when it comes to getting the whole league involved. I tell ya'... Canada could use him. I've quit even looking at their forum. But SEAPL without Winona is like Victory Jones without his cutting edge witticisms (that was intended as a compliment VJ)!

But see.... that's where MadCow is the master. He never let's it get under his skin. Sometimes he'll get caught out but he bounces back like he's made of rubber. And there was always a ton of pride coming from Winona. Just saying. Every league needs the kind of banter that MadCow, VJ, David Stern, Phil Jackson, Boomy and the rest of these guys throw out. Trust me on this. I just went from SEAPL to the morgue when we moved the team to Canada. The guys from SEAPL were a bit intimidating at first, so I just read the first season with them, to try and figure them out. After that, I jumped in and now wish I had never left. As it turns out, it's not the competition that makes the game fun, it's the people you're playing with and against. At least with a guy like MadCow, you know where you stand. A guy might use 500 words of perfect logic on MC and his only reply would be "f@#k you" (which actually happened and made me laugh harder than I had done in 20 tears). But three more posts down the line and he's kicking the cow patties right back at 'cha.
Anyway... it's the combination of all of these "wits" in SEAPL and their constant pursuit of having a (relatively) good-hearted go at each other that has made this league the most interesting and funnest in the game. If I can get Arrowhead back one of these days, I'm going to. Until then, to all my friends who still reside here, good luck in the season and feel free to challenge Arrowhead anytime you feel like you have the cahonies! (How do you spell that?) You're the best!

Not trying to necro bump your post but as the owner of the team that you're both referring to (yeah, I'm too lazy to write out the team name!), I feel it fair to say that MadCow is not a lolGM for our team. He may not own a player in the league (he was retired in the off-season, btw) or own a team in the league, but he is a part of our network and he really does put time and effort into not only my team but all of our teams. I for one am grateful that he is a part of not only my team but all of the teams that I am associated with.
You guys get to see the Mad Cow in the forums. I'll tell you that he is the exact opposite in the team forums.
Now, please do not take this as me defending everything that he has said and done in the public forums, because I'm not. I'm just simply calling you out on the fact that you think he is worthless and adds nothing to my team, because you couldn't be more wrong.
In fact, I think that grifter likes him so much, he is going to set him up with his daughter. J/k! Grifter is going to kill me for that last part.
