Hey Mark, next year my grandma says she is going to take her weekend she normally goes to Foxwoods and draft in the Primetime... you up for some top notch competition?
Story about the artist formally known as Gekko. My son, Jeremiah, who is 10, had heard about "gekko" in one of the past leagues and wanted to meet him since he likes the Geico commercials so we came over to the table to shake his hand before one of the baseball drafts and Mark looked at him like he was an ingrade and wouldnt even say hi, though his friend Jeremiah, I believe it was, spoke to my son for a while. So during the auction, every time "gekko" would bid on a player, my son was kicking me under the table and whispering "dont let the jerk get him".... True story.
Its all about being a bad loser... Mark is the greatest "know it all" when he wins and its all luck when he loses. Big shock... Mark is back and bringing attention to himself.
Not a big surprise, but I have no recollection of your "alleged" story. In general, I usually talk with everyone who approaches me. Wish I could spend 15 minutes talking with everyone, but its just not possible. And I certainly dont look at any kid as an "ingrade". Maybe I was looking at you?
I have two kids so I'm very sensitive around them. For instance, in all my years as a father, I have never once cursed in front of my two (or any of their friends). Never. So while, I'd be courteous (at a minimum to any kid), I could treat you (theoretically a grown man) differently if you present yourself as rude or a jackass. Maybe that's what happened. In any case, if something like this happens, go ahead and address the "offender" right there and then instead of saving it for a message board.
As for being a bad loser...i purposefully didn't mention any of my standings when starting this thread...just to see how many people would fall into the trap of pre-judging and automatically thinking this is about "sour grapes". btw, i'm in 7 nffc leagues, and when i started this thread, i was first in 2 of them and 2nd in another. man, if those are the results of a loser, it looks like the nffc is filled with them
