Via proxy, berkelon takes Mike Glenn

Ok, ok, I give you your crown of being the Fastest Drafter on the site. While I may never be as fast as you, I am hardly a slow drafter. And I certainly am not anywhere close to the parties in question.

Gets upset at me for complaining when others, including the Commissioner complained. Go back and find the last time I complained about slow drafters that wasn't DDL and you'll see it's been a long time. Thanks bud, by the time you and I are done with our childish back and forth, guys like redbooda will think they did nothing wrong, that it was me and you the whole time, and they'll never improve. Way to go.

Oh, and I did not edit the name I called you because it fits.

Can you name one positive thing you’ve contributed? Content? Spreadsheets? Knowledge bases? Anything?

Your only site contribution is throwing fits while simultaneously holding up other drafts for 90% as long as the people you’re complaining about. I’d rather someone be 10% slower than you (booda) so long as they don’t throw these types of tantrums.

But I don’t want to contribute to the negativity so i guess I should just let you call people ******* and ***** and MFers and bite my tongue about you often doing the same thing next time.

I help guys on here all the time. I just shared one of my big boards with gerryred who went on a cruise Saturday. I share stuff with Midge all the time. I am not a techy, I don't have spread sheets. Everything is handwritten in a notebook. I have also shared a few ideas with how I look at things on Discord...I have shared my Savage All-NBA Teams the last 2 seasons. I offer advice and to share who I have remaining as 'Best Players Available' all the time to folks. When folks make negative comments in the owners forum about their play I reach out to them and give them encouragement and share with them what I try to do. I am one of the most fervent supporters of different themes on this site and am constantly trying to promote and help fill leagues. Furthermore, I don't see myself as one of the say Top 10 or so players on here so it would be conceited of me to think that I have some valuable content that everyone is dying to hear (and neither are you).

You have lost your mind if you think I am a consistently slow drafter. And for the 10th time, you are the only one I am calling a little b.

I can’t see your private messages with others. From my perspective, you’re the guy who complains more than everyone else combined, is slow himself, texts me at 5am, and throws hissyfits while contributing nothing positive.

and everything is ALWAYS someone else’s fault. You don’t enter your team on time and it’s our fault we didn’t text you. You’re the slowest drafter in the league and it’s because of the time of day when you were up.

I’ll put it like this. If you were in a league with yourself, you would be complaining about yourself and calling yourself a “little b.” You’re a hypocrite.

Good night.

Nope, just you db. You are the only little b on this whole site. You’ve been crying like a little girl because one time I texted you early in the am. There’s a time difference and I happened to be up for a golf tournament I was playing in. The time didnt stop the guy b4 me who was an hour behind me from texting me after midnight that I was up. And you didnt hear nary a word out of me because I am not a little baby. Oh poor baby, he got a text at 4:30 am and his phone buzzed. Boo- hoo.

I wasnt expecting u to be up and I wasnt expecting u to make your pick that early. We had both been texting each other when it was one of our turns and I was leaving for the golf course and thought u might appreciate knowing when u woke up that it was your turn.

Folks, while dbkc and I disagree on whether I am a slow drafter, it sounds like both he and I agree that we don’t like slow drafters. So I pledge to try and make my picks quicker and I will try to enter my teams quicker and I hope some of you will join me so we can put this long national nightmare to rest.

Yet again, it’s someone else’s fault (the time zone, this time). I’m in Central time. I can only be one hour behind you max. Texting a stranger at 5:30am on a weekend is still rude af.

and you don’t text me to tell me I was up, which might have been different: You texted me your proxy, which would have been better off as an SM.

But that’s not the point. The point is that you do the exact thing you constantly whine about (holding up leagues), plus *additional* annoying things on top of it. Just chill out and stop throwing tantrums when other people do the same thing we’ve all seen you do.

I think the relentless speed of the Savage drafts has altered the sense of normal draft speed.
Some people here might not survive a baseball progressive draft, with a 1st round "off the clock" that can take over a week by itself.
I stink at SIM basketball, but can say riftonapple has sitemailed me to say stay positive and has offered advise.
dBKC has always felt like one of the upper level owners on the site.
I find the idea of sharing my cell# with people I don't know to be lunacy. If ever that became a requirement to play, I'd probably have to leave.

Other than that, I have drafted a team that is going to lose 55 games. So, you know, business as usual.

I was asleep and will pick soon.

And sorry I have not been Johnny on the spot with the draft this season. Work's been crazy busy the last couple months, we are down two therapists and everyone is having to pick up the slack.

I will make my 3 picks here after I do a little research.
