| Message | From what I understand, if it's a general consensus that someone is tanking that they move to the bottom of the draft order and do not pass go. But I don't know where I read or heard it... Speaking of weddings, just remembered a highlight from your wedding, was playing knockdowns on the stage behind the head table with those old hockey cards... ha! And speaking further of weddings, we just had the ultrasound and found out we're having a girl... too bad really, I was hoping to draft Phil Riley Jr in the FHL 2025...  |

| Message | In between sets on the heavy bag, I'd like to make it very clear that my dance card is empty for draft day but it could easily get filled. |

| Message |  Someone refresh my memory.. Is there an anti-tanking rule? Is it decided by vote? What is the penalty? I vaguely remember something, now that it's been eluded to a couple times.. Maybe it's a good thing i didn't speak at your wedding, Phil. |

| Message | I'm in... but what do you mean by "gets Goon"... cause I don't want to fight him, and there's no way I'm gonna make out with him... |

| Message | I repeat there is no moral question mark over my team. You're bringing up a different strategy in a different pool with different rules. I have no issue with tanking but this pool has a specific rule in place against it, so it's a non-issue. But nice mud-slinging campaign... but you did forget to mention that 1 other team in the pool used the same strategy at the same time and 1 team saw the strategy and put in into place the next month, so basically it was a 3 way race to the bottom, also 1 other team has used it since. I won't stoop to GM Ethically Challenged's level and continue to air the other pools dirty laundry in this banter even though his guinch in the other pool have plenty of dirt. With friends like these who needs enemas...  |

| Message | First of all I haven't done anything yet, and the mere fact that i've tried to run it by everyone before pulling something off tells you I think it's a little slimey. But before GM Riley comes off as the innocent new guy I'd like to gather an opinion from the rest of the league on whether the following actions would be tolerated in the FHL. In the inaugral 2003-04 season of the Franchise Pool Phil and I co-commish (that's tale for another time), Phil sat in last place at the end of November. For his December roster moves, Phil moved Hossa, Iginla, Tanguay, Zetterberg and Savard to his bench and replaced them with Hartnell, Mellanby, Allison, Daze and Scott Young. Most of these inserts were either injured or enjoying 30 point campaigns. Phil ended up in 2nd last place, at least two spots lower in the standings than he would have had he put his best lineup on the ice. He selected Malkin 2nd in the prospect draft, ahead of two teams that deserved to pick higher in the draft that's supposed to help the weak teams. He has removed the moral question mark from his team because he sees nothing wrong with this, not a grey area but a strategic manoever to benefit his team. I don't have a problem with Phil selecting a team of teenagers. I have a problem when he either can't put an active 12/6/2 lineup on the ice month after month or as the talent on his team matures his better players are put on the bench. I can't wait to stop my whining and get expansion underway. |

| Message | Welcome to the board Phil! It looks like we have a rivalry in the making with Dukes and Phillies. Looks good. |
