This thread is dedicated to all things concerning the CTM graveyard league. I started it in 2011. Pmanningsux a.k.a. "PMS", was the champ of it's first year.
Playahataz a.k.a. "Taz", was the champ last year, in it's second season.
A LOT has changed, since it's inception in 2011....
2011 Owners AND Standings
1. Pmanningsux a.k.a. "PMS"
2. Patriotsk1d a.k.a. "Patskid"
3. My cousin
4. Playahataz a.k.a. "Taz"
5. Myself
6. Ravenman1
7. Realfootballprodigy a.k.a. "RFP"
8. Awesomeace a.k.a. "Ace"
9. Gammon
10. "Taz" cousin
After season 1 was completed, I decided to replace 6 out of the 10 original owners. It wasn't exactly an easy thing to do, as I liked those guys. One of them was actually my own cousin. However, it's of utmost importance to have active owners in your league. The entire outcome of things can sway when owners don't check in to replace injured players, check trades, the waiver wire, etc....etc...
Shit, I mean....I replaced Patriotsk1d a.k.a. "Patskid", who came in 2nd place, and my own cousin, who came in third place. Even though they both had good teams, and did well in the end, but they both just weren't active enough. Several weeks of no updating rosters to remove injured players will make that happen in this league. That's why I consider this league one of the MOST competitive, if not THEE MOST competitive of them all. In order to be a good LM, you MUST practice "tough love". It's only fair to the rest of the participants in the league, IMO. I know that Patriotsk1d a.k.a. "Patskid" is a member here on this forum, and the same goes for Realfootballprodigy a.k.a. "RFP".
I wonder what ever happened to Ravenman1 and Gammon though?
Edit: I also wonder what happened to Indydave and Russell. Indydave was supposed to be in this league, but fell off the map, and nobody has heard from him since. Russell222 was a cool cat that only stuck around in the GY for about a month, and also disappeared for good. Kinda sad when people "disappear" like that, and all we can do is hope all is well. Note: If I ever disappear, please keep this league going in my honor. There is such an awesome group of players involved, and that's an extremely hard thing to duplicate.
2012 Owners AND Standings
Year 2012 was MUCH better, as I held onto my strong core of participants in: MS", "TAZ", "ACE" and of course....Myself(lol). Not only did I have a strong core of 4 owners to build from, but I was honored enough to be able to add the likes of : Steelers1954 a.k.a "Steeler Jeff"(became my CO-LM and helped out immensely), Jeffb, Craig, Cbagin, Atlantadirtybird a.k.a. "ADB" and Shaggzfate a.k.a "Shaggz", to fill in for the 6 previously inactive owners.
1. Playahataz a.k.a. "Taz"
2. Steelers1954 a.k.a "Steeler Jeff"(which was amazing considering he lost connection during the draft and was "autopicked")
3. Jeffb
4. Pmanningsux a.k.a. "PMS"
5. Atlantadirtybird a.k.a. "ADB"
6. Myself
7. Cbagin
8. Shaggzfate a.k.a "Shaggz"
9. Awesomeace a.k.a. "Ace"
10. Craig
2012 was a much better year in terms of activity and competition. I went from releasing 6 owners after the 2011 season, to just two owners after the 2012 season. Also, we decided to make it a 3 keeper league starting this upcoming season(last year's roster's included). Unfortunately, Shaggz and ADB both had to go. Shaggz had a lot going on in his personal life during that season which led to his inactivity, and I was sad to let him go, as I consider him a friend. ADB and I unfortunately had a falling out in another league(OG/NG), that ultimately led to his departure in the CTM. We have talked some on here since, and I still like ADB regardless of past transgressions.
As for this upcoming season, I'm very fortunate, and also honored, to be able to replace ADB and Shaggz with the likes of Dstep & "the one"...."the only"..."Mrs.MB".
So, for this new 2013 season, the list of owners looks like this....
1. Playahataz a.k.a. "Taz"
2. Steelers1954 a.k.a "Steeler Jeff"
3. Jeffb
4. Pmanningsux a.k.a. "PMS"
5. Dstep
6. Myself
7. Cbagin
8. Awesomeace a.k.a. "Ace"
9. Craig
10. "Mrs. MB"
That's an All-Star lineup of FF baller's as far as I'm concerned, and I'm honored/proud to have you all involved.
