NYG and BigMike will be back
P.S. - I feel that alot of "crummy" teams are not returning because they don't think they will have a playoff team in the 2009 season. To get out of a dynasty league, during the 2nd year, is pretty silly in my opinion. I do understand people are "cutting back" their leagues next year.....but is it fair to "cut back" on a league that hasn't even finished it's first full season yet. If you were in more leagues than you can handle, maybe picking up a dynasty league isn't the best route, considering it takes the most effort. If some of these teams that are jumping ship next year were currently
13-2, i'll bet that they wouldn't be so quick to not return.

When I joined this league I did so with full intentions of making it a 1 year deal as I told FBJ. I have been in HFA since it's inception and will continue with the Ravens franchise there. When I did finally agree to join for the year there was nobody interested in the Ravens and I did it so the league could get off the ground. If I were fortunate enough to be 13-2 I would still be sticking to what I said when I joined anyway.
As an aside, is it really necessary for you to be calling into question anyones decision on whether or not they want to stay?

I don't see anything in the rules that says I can't

I also made this a 1 year comitment to get things going. If I was asked to make a 2 year commitment, I would have declined.
All that said, I won my division, and see no reason why I wouldnt be in the hunt for things next year. My team is pretty decent, and whoever takes it over should be set up nicely. So to make the comment that people are quitting because they dont have a good team is not 100% correct.
Now apologize before I shed a tear.
