I'm trying to improve from around 7-9. This and the salary cap football league I just can't figure out. I'm awful in both. lol

Mike - dont' take this the wrong way...but '09 was the third time you have deadbeated on this league. You can't get out of the bottom of the standings unless you start drivers who will actually get you points. If those zeros you got the final 5-6 weeks were actually in the 200-300's you would have been at least 4th or 5th. This game only requires 5 minutes of activity a week...
Fathead also deadbeated the final 7 or 8 weeks. Someone else did too, but I forget their name.
Just doesn't seem like there is any enthusiasm for this league like there once was. I'm probably going to pass this year; unless people are willing to throw a few $ into the pot. Maybe that will increase everyone's level of participation.

I only deadbeat the league when I have zero chance of catching up and I'm left with Dale Jr. as the only driver with a chance. And even he didn't have a chance to help me out. lol
I don't take it the wrong way. You're right. ;)
EDIT: I don't think I really dead beat it last year. I just had to use the guys that I had left. Actually, now that I think about it, I checked it every week. And my drivers had that I used were the only ones I could use. It may have looked like I dead beat it though...

I keep very close tabs on this league, and I'm positive you had at least 5 straight weeks at the end with zero total points. With so many great drivers in the A group, its impossible to use them all up. I agree that B was much harder to manage this year, but I still find it hard to believe everyone was used up. McMurray, Logano, Reutimann, among others all had some late year successes.

Let me add one more thing as well.
I do these leagues for the MB. I'm not that big of a NASCAR fan. I can't watch a full race without getting bored. So perhaps I do get a little lazy once football starts. However, I'd hate to see Mark and his wife stop playing due to my laziness. If someone else would like to take over as the commish, I wouldn't lose a bit of sleep over it.
These leagues are intended to be for fun. So if anyone is interested in being commish, let me know I'll see if I can transfer the power over to someone else.
