    Ragrets, he's had a few lol.

    If you come up to the Bay to catch a Cal game I'll still take you to get a burrito. I know you don't want a beer but I'll buy you an expensive Fiji water just to prove no hard feelings <3

    we say it a lot but the league really is in the best spot its ever been. eric is, by a wide margin, the most consistent and emotionally stable commish we've ever had. rules and systems have had years and years to be refined, and new ones are constantly talked about. for a long time now there seems to have been an initiative within the league to always be improving and it has been.

    anyone with any remote interest whatsoever shouod come give it a shot. the last 6-8 months of the current league will be spent expirementing with new systems in preparation for 6.0 so its a great time for new players to come in and learn the software as well as for old players to return and get back in the swing of things.

    The one I do Friday's is around the current league, the only 2.0 people left are myself, ward, jhb and skrouse i think. Does anyone have the 2.0 link? I wouldn't mind hosting a pod with some 2.0 members as a look back

    I really do not have the time to commit to it but I would 100% rejoin a league if I could get a weekly Bankz dblplay1212 argument over which stats to pump up or respective draft grades.

    realistically only takes like 10-20 min a day in the off-season and less during the season now. Pretty much everyone’s cell is on the board for trades and all that jazz

    See, would literally rejoin a league that would have a negative work/life balance impact just for this.

    the worst that could happen is you dont enjoy it and can peace out prior to 6.0, so give it a go imo

    The Jazz existed briefly for Ank to win a couple titles in early 5.0 then had a brief half-decade reappearance in the late 2010s/early 2020s before SPL’s untimely passing #RIP
