Not sure if we have interacted before or not? Apparently, that's funnier and more important to some than myself. Obviously, the lack of interaction hasn't sullied the mad jack experience for either of us, so I'm rather indifferent to the matter.
Speak for yourself, I feel cheated. You could've been on my call list for years. I can message you updates via Facebook in the meantime.
Saint,
What's the significance of a picture of John Hamm? I don't get it?
Blackman,
I'm going to forward you my direct line so you can text me screen shot updates. I have to tell you, it's been a long time since I've been in a mixed relationship and I am allergic to penis so I don't know how well this will work out for you. You may develop a rash. Also, I'm a straight white male so I don't know if you had to go to a special school to be gay (I honestly never knew that homosexuality was a choice!) or is this just something you picked up along the way? It's not that I'm not flattered or that I don't like school, but I am a bit concerned about safety. Let me ask you this, were you the only colored fella in the class or were there a lot of them in the class. I just need to know if I should leave my wallet and my new swatch watch (I bought it for the first day of class of eBay) at home?
I think this will be fun. I can't wait to show you off to all or new gay friends we're going to be hanging out with, going to Lady Gaga concerts with, we'll get matching ring pops and learn how to snap our fingers with a flourish. Of course you're going to use a relaxer on your hair or shave it right? So excited.
Hope this helps,
FDC

Are we still talking about fantasy football? If so, your vision for the league sounds pretty weird.
In all seriousness though, we've been Facebook friends for years. I thought you were just going along with the joke? :shrug:
Allergic to penis? Then why do you put them on your balls??? you are a LIAR
FU**ING LIAR
LIARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
FULL OF SHIT LIAR
LIES, ALL LIES
hope your summer went well:0008
Going to dig holes in the sand in the rain tomorrow so all is well. Looks like you had a good summer buddy!
For the record!! If I had to change a draft date and time in any leagues I have here. I would send it out in personal email, ask FDC to text those he has a number of and post it in general on the forum.
Saints buddy should of done a little more, he coulda text him, that would have been my priority

Sorry Saint your league should of made a better effort. I don't personally know many guys in my FF league but I'm always tagged on the group texts when anything is happening in addition to the message board. Same boat also with young'uns at home and a couple jobs, so rarely have the time to be checking the message board too often. Good luck on your decision.
The peanut gallery, pretty hilarious over all, went well with my Wendys spicy chicken salad, thanks for the laughs!

Let me make something perfectly clear. I NEVER said a simple message board post was a noble effort or even satisfactory. What I said, several times, is that message board posts are almost always (I have yet to see a single league yet where it isn't) linked to every players email. The email they physically input when they sign up and accept the invitation in to the league.
I simply asked some simple questions and got no response, so I'm left to make generalizations based on my knowledge of the individual(s) involved.
To be perfectly clear, I think there is more to the story.
How did Saint have the commissioner's cellphone number? Was it posted on the site? Did he get it from a friend or assume it was someone else's? I only ask because I find it hard to believe that a fantasy commish would go through the trouble to ensure that everyone has his number, field and respond to a text referring to him as "B", and not even ask who it is prior to responding!? It's bullshit. There's more to the story, no doubt in my mind. No way does anyone on this website or any other website get a text from a number they have never seen before, from a total stranger that they supposedly never ever heard of or talked to before and not ask who it is? Who calls a complete stranger B?
How is it that ONLY Saint got it wrong? He received several calls from what I gathered as several people imploring him to draft and you don't think it occurred to ANY of them that perhaps something wasn't right?
I just think there is more to it than "a buddy asked me to join a $300 fantasy league and i never heard from then again" which is pretty much what is being asked to believe.
I don't.

Dude you have way too much time on your hands. It's not that fucking hard.
I went to residency with Joe. Joe is an asian in LA and as such pretty much only hangs out with asians. The only other mutual asian friend I know is a guy named brian.
Joe texts me and asks if I am willing to be in his league. I say, sure. A few minutes later, without notice from Joe, I get a text from someone who does not identify himself. Just texts me about the league. Normally, if person A is texting person B, and they don't know each other, person A will say, hi billy bob my name is fucktard and I am Joe's friend. He let me know you will be joining us so here it goes...".
Instead, since I got a text from someone just going right into the details, Ii assumed it was the only white sneaker wearing slanty eyed mutual friend of Joe's I know, Brian. Hence, me saying, hey B.
My life is too fucking busy for there to be more to the story. Hey dude, you want into our league. Our draft is Tuesday Aug 26th. First off, what jackhole runs a fantasy league on yahoo? So after dusting off my yahoo ID to log in and register a team with the league, I go back to the rest of my life in the real world. I set a reminder in my phone about the purported draft date. No, I did not check my yahoo mail after that, because again, who the fuck uses yahoo? For the record, I checked after the fact and zero emails were sent out about the change. Had they, I wouldn't have seen them, but they still weren't.
Without a doubt I should have gotten a text or at the very least a delivery of fortune cookies with the draft change as my fortune. The reason it was "just saint' is that this is a league that has been going on for years between local guys and they needed a last minute fill and that was me.
One of the big reasons I don't let Billy Bob and Fucktard play in my leagues anymore.
Oh, and as an aside........If you have time to play in ANY fantasy league, no matter how shitty you deem it to be after-the-fact, your life isn't "too fucking busy".
