    I've been commish of a league of 10 guys from my graduating class at Vanderbilt. The league has been together for 6 years, and we've only lost one person. The deal is that one of the original guys plays the role of the guy who b****es about the league every year and then blames his 3-10 record on unfair scoring practices. Then he tries to jack up the entrance fees with statements like this:

    "Also, should probably increase the entry fee to $100. I think we all have decent jobs now, and if someone doesn't than too bad."

    Totally insensitive to the guy who just had triplets or the guy that just lost his job.

    Anyway, anyone been a league with a bitterman that you just want to butchslap half the time, but considering that its just a game, you know its not worth dropping to his level?

    Hey, if the guy gets 3-10 records every year, then he's worth keeping around just for that. If anything, you should be thanking him for his donation. ;)


    Truthfully, he sounds like a prick. Give him the old heave-ho.

    Tell him the entry fee is $100 and keep his money. Chump's gonna lose anyway. Hell, take his hundred and buy in for the guy having tough times.

    That reminds me of an old Country Club story:

    The members are sitting around in the club room playing gin for a penny a point. The brash young member with a couple of drinks in him blurts out "how about we make this more interesting and bump it up to a dollar a point"

    The oldest member looks up from the deck he is shuffling and says "Son how about you and me just cut the deck for one million dollars"

    The young man stammers "I can't play for a million dollars"

    The old man says " Well I can....... ante's a penny , are you in"
