League Update: 9/6/07

Good news and bad news folks. The good news is that we found a new owner, BillL130. The bad news is that we lost another owner, ExtremeGamer (Lake County) who is having trouble reinstalling the game to his CPU.

Bill will have the choice of Lake County or Los Alamos. He raised a great point yesterday about Los Alamos yesterday. They are currently 300,000 over the salary cap. It seems like the previous owner left them in pretty bad cap shape (a 2008 salary of 15 mil for a LG and 10 mil for a C will do that.).

If Bill chooses to own Lake County, I will do the following for Los Alamos: 1) Try to renegotiate a new contract w/ both the LG and C for a lower cap number. 2) If the players refuse to renegotiate consider cutting them (This would give the LA almost 17 mil in cap space). After that I will turn CPU control on and let it control the team until we have a new owner in place. Let me know your thoughts.

Sounds good to me Aaron.

Does EG need help re-installing it? Or does he want to drop out either way?

I think he wanted to drop out either way. No problem though. We are just back to where we were yesterday with one open team.

Yeah, I was about to call shenanigans on EG for being "unable to reinstall the game." :)

That plan for Los Alamos sounds like the best idea. The good thing about a football sim is that it's reasonably easy to fix an awful cap situation. I mean sure, it's not ideal and it hurts the team from a talent perspective, but in other sports with guaranteed money, you're pretty much screwed if someone hoses your cap.

Oh, and welcome Bill!

It's better to get a hold of it now than let it snowball. . . . .
