Open Petition to STOP GrandadB from leaving the league

We all know one thing... we would love to beat Grandad every chance we get.....he is one of the many respected and good owners in this league and been with this league from inception...... This league as Commish will say is filled by the owners who take pride.... for example Bucs has yet to make the playoff in 7 years (I know its bit embarrassing..) but we have never stopped participating or trying...... reason is this is one active league filled by very respected Owners.......

GrandadB you are one of the very respected in this game.... while we all dislike you for winning every season (now to clarify... you have not won every season.....we have other winners too) but we also respect your game planning skills ..... we love your insights...... and this league will not be same without you.... Yes i agree the quote that life goes on or show must go on..... sure it does ...but you are one of the owner like lots of others who made this league one of the best in the MFN.....

I know you have achieved a lot and you have many teams so need to make the decision but please consider and stay in this league as its one of the best...


I am writing this petition to have you reconsider knowing that if you do consider and stay my Bucs will take another 2-3 years before we make nose as NFC South will remain powerhouse..... but honestly i will take any loss to keep respected owners of this league who has been with us from the inception.... plus on the lighter note....i want to beat you and Crazy to win the division and than beat other greats like McGrovil , RaiderGreg, to win the Super Bowl..... so if you leave this will never be possible.... so don't leave now when Bucs are about to turn the corner and beat Falcons fair and square .......

Every Owner who agree with it ... please reply stating that GrandadB should not leave this league.....

GradadB - if you need reason i will give you 3

1) you have 2 championship while McGrovil has 3 ... so there is something left to achieve in this league for Falcons

2) Crazy beat you last year to make it to Finals...its time to reverse that

3) Bucs almost beat you ...... so you cant leave now to avoid Bucs....actually beating you...

Now the last one was for laughs....but there are reasons.... incase you looking for them

Thanks hkp, its players like yourself that make a league more fun, and I have enjoyed the NFL league even tho Im not a Falcons fan, lol. The Falcons/Browns rivalry in this league has really been unique for me as far as a continuous and consistent LC rivalry. As some of you know, I admin 4 leagues, one of which Im considering to cut. When it gets to the point where you're not sure whether or not you scouted a game, its a pretty good idea to cut back. 15 teams plus the allocation draft going on in Rivals is just way overboard for me. I also like the leagues Im in that do not have the traditional NFL cities and team names. It's not a done decision, and I do like the roster of owners in this league, will see how it plays out. I need a few new owners in Major League Football, and if you pick up a team, I will give you a roster review along with suggested changes & FA adds you can use to compare to your review, if you want one. No one else does that in MFN that I know of. Cheers all!

I know, as the win over the Bucs is one of the reasons the Vikes made it to PO ;-).

But know i have the mighty Falcons in my way...

This is a great league, with no open teams. It's hard to let go of a team like the Falcons, which has been one the best Ive had, and they have been amazing in the playoffs this season, getting to the LC with several key injuries to overcome. Im not a Falcon fan, dont like the team colors/uniforms, and I prefer a new team to one that has been to several LCs, so its a 50/50 proposition, and will probably stay in it due to the request by this thread, and the fact that several prob want payback on the Falcons & gdb, lol. Would appreciate it if you would help me out in the Major League and pick up a team if you dont have one in there already, Ive got 7 open teams and we are at the 3rd reg season game. The team names & logos are unique, its a fun league, so cmon and pick up a team, especially you guys that only have 4 teams or less. If I can do 10-16 teams, you can do one more. cheers
