Gordon, are you coming back if there are no playoffs or roster expansion? TBD? i think there are a lot of important things to look at. when i first came into this league, i found the customer service to be top-rate, along with the scoring differences from the wcoff. it evened the playing field a little bit. i still believe these things to be top-rate.

on the same note, this was also the first time i participated in a 14 team league. obviously, the first time you do anything, you may see things that strike you as awkward. i've seen a few of them throughout the past few months.

some people prefer 18 man rosters. i prefer 20

some people prefer blindly awarding the lion's share of the league prize money to the best record regular season H2H team. after going through it, i strongly prefer a league playoff.

there are more, but i've already stated them in other threads, and i know people don't want to get bored by me simply repeating myself...

like any consumer, i'm looking for a product that will give me the most "bang for my buck". a lot of things come into play...not just one or two issues.

but, in the end, i need to go where i think my chances of capturing the GP is maximized. whether it's playing the nffc or an alternate event or both, i can't say yet. thanks for the question.

"No WMD. Nice call George Bush".

Gordon - you're not so nieve to think that just because they weren't found in Iraq that they didn't exist - are you?

I'm sorry everyone - I've had to read Gordon's anti-bush rhetoric on every dam post of his. I tried to resist and not reply, honest - I just couldn't hold out anymore.

They (WMD) were there Gordon. Most importantly they exist. They are in the hands of people who hate America so much they'd strap on a plutonium vest and walk in to the NFFC draft in any city knowing he'd take 100 or so Americans with him.

I lived in NYC - I worked in the North Tower for two years. I knew many of the people that died that day. That you can pollute the message boards with your rhetoric is what makes America great and worth fighting for - regardless of who it's leader is.

Please consider that the next time you post.

I’m sensitive and sorry for your loss on 9/11, as we all lost something that day.

Here’s what I consider when I post about George Bush…
We went to war (which is a tool of last resort) because Bush and his administration said there were weapons of mass destruction. I and the rest of America believed him. We were duped.

From your MB post, it seems you STILL agree with him, even though there has been NO evidence. We’ll here’s the question, where are they? With all the Intel we have, we can’t even find a spec of evidence.

I realize there are people in this world that want to harm us just because we live in America. That’s not the point. Are we going to attack every country that has people that fit this mold? How about Iran, Syria, and North Korea? Bush has already deemed them evil.

Here’s what I do know…
American troops in Iraq are being killed everyday
Innocent civilians in Iraq are being killed everyday

AND FOR WHAT

For GW’s friends to make money and the Patriot Act? Bush just shortened the arrival of a “Police State” by 20 years

Don’t be brainwashed by Bush into thinking we are safer because we invaded Iraq. How many of our troops have been killed in Iraq…over 1,000? How about injured?

Gordon,

I apologize for critisizing the passion in your belief.

I don't believe we were duped! There was evidence of Chemical and Biological warfare research and production.

There are a lot of reasons we didn't find WMD, not the least of which is the liberal left (blleding heart) media practically broadcast tye day and time of our intervention - Sadam had plenty of time to move any evidence of WMD.

I don't condon the 1300 dead and many more wounded. I didn't condon the 50,000 lost in vietnam or the thousands more lost in WW II, not to mention Korea. Every War has political purpose! There is no right war!

Somebody came in to our country and smacked us in the face. It wasn't the first attemp (remeber the WTC bombing in the early 1990's. That was an attempt to do exactly what happened on 9/11.

Intelligence information has it that there were over a dozen target that day. Only Mr. Bush command to close all airports and ground all remaining flights that day saved countless number of American Lives.

The Homeland Security Agency (expensive though it may be) is going miles towards preventing another 9/11. I don't believe Mr. Bush lied. I belive he is genuinely concerned for America and Americans. He's a man of integrity who happens not to have the greatest command of the english languane and (yes) found himself in way over his head after 9/11. He's a man of conviction, he does what he believes is right (and - judging by election results, what the American people believe is right).

I hate the fact we've lost even one us service man/woman to a bunch of thugs. We share this in common. Lets not demean our commander in chief whose only sin is too decide to put an end to terrorism - no matter what the cost. We will achieve this goal. I's not all about, oil, or politics, or making money for a friend, or getting re-elected. THAT is the liberal Left-wing media talking.

If you want to trash a president - trash one that deserves it. Trash one that did more to undermine integrity, trust, and faithfulness than any to date. Do I really need to mention his name? He may not have invaded a country, or responded when Americanss were attacked overseas (USS Cole et al) but hey he lowered the deficit - on the backs of middle class Americans who could least afford it.

Okay enough said, besides this is a FF thread. If you want to continue this discussion I'll gladlt respond to your email.

Good luck this weekend, and I don't think bad of you for your opinions. I know lots of mis-informed people - I even like some of them

We will achieve this goal. how many years in iraq will it take? how about infinite. there is no achieving this

GW’s oil friends make money
Patriot Act erodes our civil liberties
NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION FOUND. HAIL TO THE CHIEF
