SOI ESPN Keeper League
The problem you're experiencing, CCub is because you're adhering to your "I'm not going to beg people to pay up" stance. Unfortunately, you're the commish, and that's part of the job description. You have to shake fists and threaten. Then sometimes you have to take sob stories to heart and secretly extend deadlines to certain people with legitimate financial concerns. You've got to send emails, you've got to make message board posts and keep that shit fresh on people's minds or they WILL forget.

I don't know any of you guys from a hole in the ground, but I feel certain that none of you are the types who would say "My team sucks, I'm not paying for this shit!" I've never played with anyone like that. But, I HAVE played with my share of lazy, forgetful knuckleheads, though.

Keep knocking on doors and banging on windows, Colorado. You'll get everyone soon...

Speaking of which, I've got a message board post to type!

Someone else is going to have to take over for me then. Fantasy Baseball is the last thing on my mind right now.

You need a bigger brain, then. In the past month, I've coached a 7 Year Old All-Star team to the district championships, lead a $100K software conversion, maintained the baseball field for a different district tournament at our park, parented 3 children, almost finished the RotoDestroyer Fantasy Football spreadsheet, moved from worst to 2nd in SOI, and I STILL have time to bitch at the Brownballers for lack of payment.

Responses like this are the ones that send me through the fucking roof as a commissioner. I understand that people forget. But, when someone says, "Chill" or acts in some way like you're being a pushy asshole because you're trying to collect on something that should have been paid 3 months ago so you can finally stop thinking about it...well that fucking bristles me. Rapp said it fine. "I'm sorry, I forgot. I'll get it to you soon. Swear!" That's all I need to hear. When people try to act like you're being an asshole about it, well, that's when certain people get eliminated from a league. Because who needs that shit? You're basically saying, "Keep worrying about so I don't have to."

Shut up. You're annoying.

How about you just shut your fucking mouth all together.
If Angelo had picked McClellin, I would have been expecting to hear by training camp that kid has stage 4 cancer, is actually 5'2" 142 lbs, is a chick who played in a 7 - 0 defensive scheme who only rotated in on downs which were 3 and 34 yds + so is not expecting to play a down in the NFL until the sex change is complete and she puts on another 100 lbs. + but this is Emery's first pick so he'll get a pass with a bit of questioning. - 1060Ivy

If we don't have all payments by July 15th, I'm going to ask for my payment back. The payment was due before the season started. Everyone's known about it since day 1. Everyone has been reminded repetitively. There's no reason at this point anyone hasn't paid. If it's a hardship thing, you could have paid 5 dollars a week and already paid it off.
I got nothin'.

Alright, I've sent PM's, e-mails, facebook messages, and now paypal money requests. If I don't at least get a message from the owners in question saying when I can expect payment by the end of next week, I'm going to start locking teams, and we can discuss whether to boot those owners from the league next season.
