Well seeing as we're the punching bag of the Western Conference I've decided to step down as Owner. While my decision is based more on real life issues instead of in game issues hopefully the new owner can breathe some new life into the team.

I would love to continue to be the owner of the Patriots but money is just too tight around my house with a baby on the way.

I'm not gonna gut the team but some players are still gonna leave because of our past performance. I plan on still renewing all contracts at the end of the season and my personal players to minimum allowable salary so the new owner has something to work with.

I'd like to say thanks for a very enjoyable couple of seasons BBB 13. Y'all have been great competition and excellent sportsmen from the beginning and hopefully I'll get to stay as a player or two.

EDIT: Adding line breaks for readability.

Will be a shame to lose another owner, but knowing how intensive the game is already, and the work i'm having to put in to get on top of the new settings, I can understand if a lot of people don't have the time to keep up.

Hey Mike, can you see if you can sell the team to an existing GM or player, maybe the team can stay together. I'm sure GLB management could make that happen if anyone on your team is interested.

Good luck with the rest of your stuff.

Sorry to see you go ... as most know it's hard to be owner ( I feel my owners pain ) and stay competitive especially if you have losing season ... Jags have done good this season ( compared to last ) ... but the pressure of keeping pace and keeping the team together can be overwhelming ( Owner gets the most pressure thou )


That being said ... I better go to the store and get some Vaseline ... since we play the lumberjacks in a few hours .... we are on the bubble for the playoffs and need the win but feel an old fashion prison rape might come knocking

I've tried to figure out how you guys can pass Tucson, and I just don't see it. For about 5 weeks now, Tucson has seemed to be locked in the #8 seed.

Fresno has a really tough Eastern Matchup in the Kangaroos, and after Raving Mad Dawgs, I'm pretty sure Tucson has a layup...

You're gonna have to hope Tucson loses tonight, you'll have to beat us or the Kangs, and one of the 9-5 teams ends up tied with you guys...you currently own the tiebreaker from points scored. (LV plays two recently gutted teams, and Phoenix one).

Not counting you guys out, but you really got screwed with your Eastern team matchup.

ya the ball is in tucsons corner ( meaning they have to lose to dawgs ... since they have easy team to end the season ) .... thou on our end we have a mountain to climb tonight ( not good odds ) ... but to end the season with roos is a hill ( better odds then the mountain ) ... honestly surprised to still be in the bubble

Well, Just Osmo is an official dirtbag. Soon after I made my announcement I removed him as a GM. Well because I was in a hurry and an idiot, he renegotiated all of his players contracts to 3k a day and a 100k signing bonus. Thereby hurting the next owner. I'm really gonna have to apologize to the new owner because it is my fault for not being more careful.

Report his sorry ass. Shouldn't that be a violation of some sort?

Indeed, something similar is still on the forums - Morgan3 and AdamCohen are the two names that come to mind...

That is not that bad of a contract if he is near level 24 dude.

for a player who already said he planned on leaving at the end of this season no matter what, the bonus is screwed up

Def report that. Bort or any of the other Moderators should be able to negate his contract and he'll probably get banished from GM duties.
