We beat them yesterday to knock them from the ranks of the unbeaten, and now their team has been sold and all of their players are GONE! They are now the Rhode Island Revolutionaries:

The owner sold the team, and released all the players. I have no idea why. I am the new owner and I am glad to be a part of this league, but I do feel bad for the Players and how they were treated...Not good

I've seen you post several times that you are the new owner but you haven't added a single player to your depleted roster. What are you doing? Is this team just a farm team for the AA team that you GM?

Easier said than done. Is that the best tactical approach to build a good foundation? Just sling together the first random FA's you can find? I really hope not.

As one of the former players for the Raiders, RayRay, I honestly don't know. We weren't notified of this at all. We all simply logged in to find we no longer had a team. And our owner retired all of the players he had on the team. All really taken quite by surprise, I assure you....

All he's got is a little over a million. All the seats should be sold out by now, so the only money he's looking to get are his remaining concession sales, which won't add much to the til. I just don't see how much he can do this year.

The old owner was spending money on stadium upgrades as often as he could afford them. Plus we all had fairly low salaries compared to most players our level, so it is going to be difficult to bounce back this season.

Relax buddy,

Don't question my integrity or that of my Owner and fellow coaches of the Miami Perfection, who play fair and by the rules and are a very successful team while doing so.

You don't know anything about me or how I play the game...I play it fair and right, and will have a team together in the time I see fit to do so, given the right that I am the owner.

I am not trying to make the playoffs this year. I am trying to piece together a team of guys that I know are active, and I also have some trades that don't go through until the end of the night. I have passed on a lot of players because I DO NOT want to be stuck with a bunch of players that are inactive or mad because they think they are going to start because there is roster space but they end up in a back up role.

I have been honest with all inquiries and told them I can not guarantee a starting role for GOOD.

I want a successful team, not one that is just a bunch of higher level guys that don't fit well and create a bunch of problems in the long term.

I also have requests in for Computer players that ALSO along with the trades don't go through until the end of the night.

People in this game are funny, Ive owned this team for less than 24 hours and I'm already accused of farming...

Check anyone that has ever dealt with me, I am fair and honest.

And BTW I started with ONE player, I have added players. Check your facts before you spit nonsense.

Calm down.....I had seen you post several times without seeing any changes in your roster. Now I see that you are building a team. After all of the insanity we have seen on GLB, I was just curious. I just asked questions, I never accused you of anything. Now the lengthy protest was interesting...

LOL My B, I am slightly on edge haha....A teammate of mine on the Perfection said there was a thread about ME gutting this team, in one of his team forums...

And I have had people PM me asking if I am selling my team because someone told them I was....

Damn GLB Gossip runs thick!!!

Lay off him, he inherits the team with one player and he's the bad guy? Get a clue.
