Sorry for my absence.

December is my busy month, so I was up to my ears in billables, plus all the usual holiday BS. So it was only natural that the Mrs. decided that late December would be a good time for me to start a remodel project in our front entry way, which is pretty much all I work on from when I get home at 9pm until 1am or so on weekdays, then all of my weekends.

Last week I finished the redo, then the Mrs. and I geared up for our big 10-year anniversary get away. With all that's been going football, including league business, got blown off. I just got back from vacation and wanted to check in, especially with the prize winners.

With for members leaving, we need to have a serious discussion about whether to continue the league. I have to admit my interest in fantasy football was waned the last two years; my focus on career and family have really preocuppied my time. I think an active commish that can spend a little time fostering inter-league banter is good; its something I did a lot more of in our league's early years. I'm still interested in keeping the league together but I'm certain that part of the reason for the mass exodus this year is that the league wasn't as interactive as years past. Long story short, if there is someone that is willing to do a better job than me an adding some routine personality to the league I'd be willing to pass the torch to a new commish. I'd love to still participate but I've been lax in my oversight of ministerial duties, and I know it.

Any thoughts?

A few years ago, I may have been your guy, but not any longer. I command a 32 teamer here at the Huddle and with my other five leagues I participate in, that is on the verge of too much.

Plus, the fiance and I have taken on buying a new house and still have a wedding to plan, one which we put off in order to buy the house together. Not to mention she is talking to me about the possibilities of drafting a lil' private into the army.

I certainly noticed that league banter was way down this year, and to be honest with you, it didn't really bother me. It was like we let our actions on the fantasy football field speak for us. The level of competition in this league has been very high in the past, as it was this year. For me, that makes this league worthwhile. With the guys leaving, that competition certainly takes a hit. Hopefully we can bring in some guys that we are already familiar with on these boards. I'm not sure if I want a bunch of noobs populating this league.

G.I.

I'm with you there GI.

I also thought the level of competition was pretty good this season which makes this a worthwhile league for me as well.

As far as commissioner responsibilities... I could do it for a season but I'm not sure I would want to commit to it long term(a life long issue).

Again, to continue the league I would prefer to compete with seasoned huddlers. I hate to say this but, if this is not the reality of the league next season then it may be time to let it go.
