Roamingbull Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 To the immediate issue, ask him to move on after the season. Put out feelers among your friends you need a replacement. If no one out of 9 guys can get someone to participate by next draft, then you may have deeper issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentioned earlier we have a few replacements in line already. I agree with all the points mentioned by everyone, even the fact that my big bro is being a bit of a baby LOL. i'm in a tough spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABearWithFurniture Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 That's some damn good BBQ...probably some of the best I've ever had, but we get spoiled around here. I really like Black's down in Lockhart, and they just moved a store into Austin as well. La Barbeque, and Micklethwait are really good as well. There are so many with a couple of different styles...you're sure to find somewhere you like. Now ask me about the breakfast tacos...

We are used to breakfast tacos here too. So good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panhead55 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 There has got to be more to this than "not socializing". You and your league mates were thrilled that he didn't make the trip to Pittsburgh and Philly. He arrives for the draft in a timely fashion and leaves 5 minutes afterwards and generally does not involve himself with the league socially. If he is a total d-bag count your blessings that he doesn't socialize. Do he ruin your trip to Philly and Pittsburgh, because he didn't go? Doesn't sound like it. Did you miss him right after the draft? If he doesn't respond to trades, don't send him offers. If he's not involved in trading does that wreck the league? It is entirely possible that your local league would be more fun with a more compatible owner, but I agree with others who think you should place this entirely on the backs of your brother and his supporters. They need to encouraged him to resign and let him know it is not Commish decision. Your brother and his supporters are also responsible for securing a new owner.

I don't mean they don't trade with me, I mean, they don' trade with anyone. Heck, there's one guy in our league who got divorced almost a year ago and probably hasn't made a trade with anyone in over two years. Another got married a year ago and had a baby some months back. Some people don't like to or really know how to trade. Some people just have too much going on in real-life to care. But if only one owner isn't active, then that league is doing really well, in that regard. Great points both of you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
