  • Change in Management

    Friday's sim will be my last as BLB Commissioner. As I'm sure you've noticed, I've been unable to put as much time into the league and site as I would like to over the last couple seasons. It's a combination of being busy in real life and being burnt out with running the sims but after 12 seasons I think the time is right to hand the reigns over to somebody else.

    Clay will be taking over the role of BLB Commissioner as of the first off-season sim. He will be running the sims and taking over all of the day to day duties and decisions. Clay will also be addressing any potential changes to the sim schedule (if any).

    I will remain on board as co-commissioner and owner of the Guides. Right now I'm looking forward to just running a team for a little while. I'm also still committed to the league and site. If Clay ever gets burnt out from running the league, I'll be happy to pick things back up. As I've always said, this league will be around as long as you guys keep playing.

    We've all been there. Thanks for all you've done, and will continue to do. I'm shocked you lasted this long.

      Thanks for everything you've done and will continue to do in the future.

      Guess the Co-commissioner's cup will be for good teams now.

          That's what she said.

          Thanks for everything Andrew. I can't wait to see you posting in the "Light This Candle" thread bitching when Clay's sims are five minutes late.

            Thanks for everything Andrew.

            I'm actually a bit surprised. You've seemed to really got a good schedule going and the league has been moving smooth for quite a few seasons now.

            Obviously Clay will have big shoes to fill, figuratively and literally.

            I'm glad you're sticking around. You've made this site my internet home. It just wouldn't be the same without you.

              Andrew, I'm not sure if you really want to switch positions with Clay. He's not the most lucky GM in the world. Well, I guess if you count bad luck. Either way, good job Andrew, you deserve the break.

              I'd like to add as much shit as Clay gives, he gets a bunch too. Clay, you do an amazing job keeping this place lively. I might regret saying this, but I think you'll be a great commish. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if the first new rule to vote is to turn off injuries.

                Nah, we can just nominate Matt for the new Co-commish.

                        Couldn't think of a better person than Clay though to fill those giant shoes of yours

                            Here's another thanks for all your work on the league over the years. I would imagine this is one of the best, if not the best, OOTP leagues around.

                              Thanks Andrew.

                              All your hard work is appreciated. I've never seen an OOTP league run this well before and its amazing to be apart of.
