I meant to put it in general discussion but I’m used to clicking thunderdome because of the Greg Gaines posts

Has been one of my favorite people here since I drafted him to OCO a while back. Even through the clashes about his player's role, we still would bullshit about fantasy football and other random things. Luckily he is my co-GM in a fantasy football league so I will be able to continue to harass him for as long as I possibly can

I remember the night sweet got really drunk and commentated on the dsfl stream with crazy different art and was rambling like a drunk uncle about things and doing crazy stuff. Everyone knida knew this was over the line but he opened up about a lot of stuff and was genuinly entertaining. Even he knew it wasn't going to end well but It was really the moment when I knew I was going to stay in the league for a while.

Anyway after everything blew over Sweet had sobered up and dywer came in to talk to him about things. I won't go into what was said but it was really impressive what he did in that conversaion. He was professional without being heartless, he was compassionate but firm about consequences, he didn't guide the conversation in any obvious way but I could tell he was incredibly competent at his job as commish, doing what was necessary at the end of the day but salvaging the situation and making sure the league wasn't hurt in any way, even by the loss of a solid contributor in the league that needed to step down. Not that many people were in that conversation but I feel that I got something that not that many really did, an inside look at who dwyer really was.

A lot of what his job was was to be the roger goddel of the league and people unfairly memed him on that more then he was showing he could take. Its a really sad fact of the matter that the best people for leadership of something like the commish often times are not the people who can survive the day to day grind of making the decisions.

I don't really have a direction to go with this. All I know is being the leader of something and having power made me a bad person Dwyer wasn't a bad person and I apreciate him for that.
