* Darren Smallwood comments on the trade.

[tlk742]

1) Ok, so you're going to call me out? Fair. I'm excited for this!

2) This is false. That was not the primary reason for my trade request.

3) I mean, no, it's certainly isn't. But that's not what happened here.

4) Trust me, we will have plenty of chances to play against each other throughout our time in the NSFL.

5) Kevin Durant is my favorite NBA player.

5a) Kevin Durant is the best player in the NBA.

5b) I am currently wearing KD shoes.

6) Again, false. @Aenir is a top tier quarterback and now has two elite targets to throw to. I could be the #1 receiver on every team except this one, and I'm more than happy to surrender that role to Garden.

7) Uhhh...I don't care?? Who said I wanted to be hailed as a legend? All I care about is being a part of a cohesive team with an attitude geared towards winning and locker room activity.

8) Of course I can. I have. In various sim leagues before I have stayed with an often fruitless team in order to keep them on track, when I could've easily bounced around and chased cups instead. Now it's my turn to write my own sim league narrative.

Thanks for the comments, though, @tlk742 and if you have any more feel free to send them over. I'll be interested in responding.

Until then, though, see you on the field I guess. No hard feelings over here. I hope you become a better part of SJ than I would've been. That may be a tough task but I feel you are up to it.

I don't want to get into a long internet tirade, no one wins with those.

here's what I do want to address: you did actually specifically point out your friends being on other teams as a primary reason.

Code:

A.C. Hackett ( Deusolis ) is one of my best friends in real life, and Ballerstorm was the first person I met in sim leagues, and has become a very good online friend of mine.

Also Kevin Durant being the best NBA player is like saying Karl Malone was the best player in the 90s. Just not correct.
