Hello all,

I have decided it is best for the league and for myself to step down as commissioner. It has gotten to the point to me where everything is robust and I do not enjoy it as much as I use to and the league suffered because of it.

I have personal projects that I am working on as well as taking 18 hours of classes this semester. I am also working as an assistant soccer coach at a local community college so time is limited.

Taco will be assuming full commissioner duties. I think the league is in good hands. At this time, I plan to stick around as an owner.

-GE

I want to be the first to thank GE for all of his hard work over the past two seasons. He is the father of this league and has done a ton of work to make all of this possible for us. So thank you, GE!

Next, I want to apologize for being overly critical of GE and not appreciating the time he has spent on this league. I was wrong to be so harsh on him and I apologize.

Finally, I am thrilled to get a chance to be the commissioner of our league! I will be getting everything up to date over the next day or so. Tonight's export will be run tonight as expect. Other details will be posted soon...

So I guess what I'm saying is....I'm happy to be back after my 2 day absence and thank you GE for this opportunity!!!

Ooooh....a Coup.... :D

Actually, blame me and RPI since us three went in on it together and I flaked first then RPI quit the league (I think) and now GE's woman wants to get hitched and all so he's frekaing :shock:


Just kidding Timmy!

Damn. Nobody told me a coup was underway. With a name like the Hitmen we should have been invited to the party. I would like to echo Taco and thank GE for his work on the CFL. Thanks. Im glad you are able to step down with no hard feelings and keep playing in the league. Life does get in the way sometimes. We should always remember that before criticizing. So does this mean Taco will be out of the power rankings biz no that he is the head honcho? Can he be trusted with such responsibility as the leader of the CFL? The temptation to adjust scores to make the rankings correct may be too much. Or maybe not. Only time will tell. :lol:

Hey the Attack should be involved in any coup, but I guess you wanted to keep it quiet.

Thank you GE for running the league the last 9 months or so. I have really enjoyed it, and hope Taco can do as good of a job.

Good luck to you Taco, I'm glad you've made it back in the league!

Long live the CFL!!!

I'm so relieved, I thought this league was going to fold.

Thanks to GE for all your hard work and thanks, Taco, for shouldering the responsibility.

Thanks for your work so far, Tim. I'm thrilled that you're staying around. I need time to become good enough to beat Memphis. :D

Thanks for picking up and coming back, Chris. It's good to have you back in the league. And I look forward to more Adventure of Motormouth.

Despite my crticism, I too would like to thank GE. I know he put a lot of time and effort into the league, and I'm happy he was able to recognize that RL was making it too difficult to keep up. It takes a strong person to do that.

And thank you to Taco for stepping in and taking over..... now get to work!

I hear you. Once upon a time I ran a Counter-Strike clan in active competition for about a year. Eventually, however, I had to give it up due to other commitments (and the fact that I grew tired with CS). Kudos to you for realizing what you can and can't do. And, although I'm new, kudos to you for all the work you've put into the league.

Thank you, GE, for all the time that you have put into the league so far. It is really appreciated.

Taco, thanks for taking over the commissioner duties. I'm glad that I don't have to scrap the Motormouth article that I have been working (due out prior to week 1).

Ditto what everyone else has said - good work, GE. Being commish can be a thankless job, and you handled it well.

And welcome (back?) Taco. Is there anything I can do to curry favor with our new master?

Thank you GE for the work you have put into this. It's good to see you have your priorities straight though, getting your work done in college is far more important than a game and 18 credits is quite the load.

Welcome Taco, thank you for carrying this on.

Why is everyone kissing GE's ass all of a sudden? I mean, you are mean to him when he can screw you over and nice when he can't?

Just kidding of course Timmy! :lol:

Yes! I was hoping that you would publish that. I can't wait! Long live Motormouth!!!
