Looking for a new St. Louis GM

NYRGM · Senior Member

Hey boys, I'll make this quick but I wanted to add my 2cents in the matter. Chris Abbey is my cousin and at the start of the league he was extremely excited and all about the league. His status changed when he had to move from Rhode Island to Florida for the Cape Coral Police Academy which he's 6 wks into now, along with being bummed about losing Jagr at the start of the season. His loss of Jagr was due to his lack of experience in fantasy leagues (BRHL2 being his 1st, and him just not properly reading the rules).

I've since contacted him and talk to him all the time, mentioning on more than one occasion that his participation needs to improve as well as acivity in the league. There wasnt a change for the better in his status which is why I advised the commish to "do what they need to do" for the better of the league. I realize that Bryce and Eric both feel bad about having to do so, but its neccesary for the further forward progress of the league and the St. Louis franchise that we bring in a new GM to take Chris place.

I just wanted to touch base with everyone on this matter, I feel bad about it too seeing I recommended him for a gm spot initially but it just wasnt a good fit and the league will be much better off after letting him go. Take care-Joe NYRGM

Maybe NYR can answer this, but what is going on with LA? He's always online yet he never answers my messages. Some other GMs I've talked to have also had this problem. So what's up with him?

I think if you're gonna be in a league first and foremost you should respond to people about trade inquiries, otherwise why not find another GM. There are a lot of guys on St.Louis I wanted so I'm glad that we'll be getting a GM who will at least respond to trade talk.

Once again we may have to do the same with LA that is going on with St.Louis. Who knows, I have however spoken with LA gm Jay Macera about this and he said he would try and be better about it. I do know however he is dealing with a very serious illness that is effecting one of his immediate family. I dont want to say exactly who but I know its taking its toll on him and hes doing the best he can in life and everything else with it. I will mention to him again if he could get back to you all about offers though. Thanks for understanding boys, I know you do. -JOE NYRGM

For future knowledge I will not be suggesting any of my friends for a position because it seems like i'm 0 for 2 so far. hahaha

To all that has this same concern bout me Jason the KingsGM. I have been doing a lot of trading and pretty much return all my emails and my instant message. Some of the emails I receive lack my interest. So I apologize about not returning an email and will step up to the plate now on.
