I propose that we gradually reduce rosters to 35 spots per team. I suggest we do this over the course of the next five years and that we also reduce the number of draft picks per team to four per year.
2015-2016: 40 man rosters & 5 draft picks per team 2016-2017: 39 man rosters & 5 draft picks per team 2017-2018: 38 man rosters & 4 draft picks per team 2018-2019: 37 man rosters & 4 draft picks per team 2019-2020: 36 man rosters & 4 draft picks per team 2020-2021: 35 man rosters & 4 draft picks per team
I believe that this will do two things. First, it will make a more robust free agency that will lead to more competitive balance in our league. Second, I believe it will place emphasis on using your draft picks judiciously and reward teams that draft well.
I hope that this can be put to a vote.

I could deal with less draft picks - but I would like to keep the rosters the same size.

I propose that we gradually reduce how often Doug is allowed to post. I suggest we do this over the course of the next five years and that we also reduce the number of times he can post in the shoutbox to four or fewer per week.
2015-2016: 40 message board posts & 5 shoutbox messages 2016-2017: 39 message board posts & 4 shoutbox messages 2017-2018: 38 message board posts & 4 shoutbox messages 2018-2019: 37 message board posts & 4 shoutbox messages 2019-2020: 36 message board posts & 3 shoutbox messages 2020-2021: 35 message board posts & 3 shoutbox messages
I believe that this will do two things. First, it will make a more robust message board forum that will lead to more of a communication balance in our league. Second, I believe it will place emphasis on Doug using the message board more judiciously and reward teams owners with fewer Doug-posts to eye-roll through.
I hope that this can be put to a vote.

Funny. But keep this in mind, when Doug's team was in the gutter for the last 3 years, which is 75% of this leagues history come the conclusion of this season, and he rarely antagonized other owners.
So now that he has a team, it is a great time to become combative. When I am at the top, I plan on pushing everyone around, and using capital letters.

I like to think I've been a kind ruler of the league...

You have done Morweena proud Alex Kudos to the reigning Champ on censoring himself on what would have been easy prey on more than one occasion & always staying humble in his Kingship (no pun intended)

Sorry for talking trash in free fantasy hockey league.
Sorry for trying to have fun around here.
Sorry for actively embracing the role of the league villain.
I can see that my proposal is going nowhere for a variety of reasons, and that's a shame. It's also a shame that we can't even discuss it - really encourages people to post ideas about the league when the second comment on it is derisive. But I'll continue to work with the rules of the league and do my best to succeed. I'll also refrain from any personality or frivolity on the boards from now on because it's clear that some of you Canadians are too delicate of flowers to take it. Sorry for being an American. Good luck to all the rest of the season.

Let's start the clock to see how long that lasts...

Fresno St stinks.

Fresno St stinks. I don't believe that Gravol (Tony) is "just having fun" when he tells me to "shove it up my ass" more than once. I also grow weary of Milwaukee (Tim) protesting everything I suggest on this board, no matter what it is, including his response to this post. There's a place for trash talk and fun but I don't believe the News & Discussion forum is that place. Maybe I'm wrong. I've removed my trash talk posts and I'm going to take a break from this board for a while. It's clearly not a healthy place for me to be, mentally or spiritually and since the most active people on this board seem annoyed by me I will take the hint, finally.

Well, you inspired me to let go of my rebuild and bulk up talent. Fresno St still stinks, though.

C'mon Doug. I find it hard to believe "shoving it up your ass" is the most offensive thing you've been told to do. And just to reflect, my suggestion was based on you calling me a liar which, I think, is much more demeaning.

This post seemed like a complete gong-show-esque over-reaction to the other posting (about increasing roster sizes). It's more high school than fantasy sport. It's a clown question, bro. Nothing wrong with the trash talking and posting the "you're next" stuff. That's entertaining.

For the record, my first post in this thread is likely one of my best. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Post of the year nomination? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
