so let me give the context, grau was showing some apprehension to being rb. I have a very simple look on this league, you should enjoy the player you are playing. he really wanted to be a star WR, who are we as a league to say no to giving him the chance. if he played for Baltimore, Orange County or Yellowknife, I would say the exact same thing. don't be a player where you will get bored playing. I've done that, it sucks. You're assuming there was a Yeti target there, there wasnt. I want to see the nsfl thrive, it doesn't happen if people are playing positions they hate regardless of how great the locker room is. it's why we got rid of OL.

the 9.8 jab was at the "set on offense" comment you alluded to earlier. unrelated.

@TheMemeMaestro I don't know if your roadmaps to success have been that successful. I have a right to question it based on your tenure...

look it's been fun, I'm clearly yeti public enemy #1. and if that's now you want to treat me, fine. I am not going to stop you. I'm kinda disappointed but whatever. see you on the field on Wednesday.

Also, he didn't have it saved probably he just got it rn. Also, iirc we have the same amount of playoff wins in our career . See you there.

I did see the context of the conversation, because I watched it happen live, and I still don't think it was constructive or well-intentioned. Maybe next time try, "Talk to the GMs if it's not something you want to do, they'll understand", rather than "demand a trade" and a tirade about how bad the team is right off the bat.

Look, I personally have nothing against you. And I think there's room in this league for making fun of other teams. But when constant negative talk about our team is peppered throughout the forum and discord, it makes league fatigue much more pronounced. It's not conducive to securing and maintaining new members, either. What if someone is trying out the league, gets drafted by the Yeti and is then humiliated constantly by association? Not great for retention. It has its place, but there's a line.

I take part in this league for fun and to try and help others do the same. It would be nice not to sign on and see the equivalent of "you're wasting your time" plastered wherever we look.

You're not enemy #1. You're not an enemy at all. Yes, we'll see you on the field, and honestly, I hope you have a great game and great season with your new team because this is meant to be an enjoyable pastime and my hope that everyone here is having a good time extends to you, too.

ok fair, but I assume that if he's being asked to switch positions and he's apprehensive a conversation with the GMs happens.  wasn't trying to mean any ill will there but having been asked by a few teams in the draft before I was picked if I would switch to o-line and then being asked after to switch, I made an assumption that it was something he felt pressure to do and felt like he had to do it. it's tough to tell a team no.

you really can't complain about the negative vibes. you left the sabercats high and dry during a historic collapse in s2. you don't get  to sit through the bad for one team after bailing on another without warning. mind you that bailing without warning caused a few draft picks to say "your team is inactive and a joke, I will not play for you and will hold out". some currently on the Yeti roster. 

all that said, I will be more cognizant of the words that I use and what i say.
