· Why did you choose the team name you have? How many times has it changed? Prestige Worldwide is so damn intimidating that many opponenets don't even show up to the game. It screams excellence, and there is not much you can do about it. I think I have had this team name for 4 or 5 years now.

Players

1. All-time, who were the top five players that were the most enjoyable to have on your team? Adrian Gonzalez, Evan Longoria, Curtis Granderson, Pujols, Josh Hamilton

2. Have you grown a deep hatred for any player due to their past fantasy performance? Josh Beckett

3. What one player do you wish you had on your roster right now? Pujols

4. What player will never be on your roster (not due their status as a keeper for another team)? Josh Beckett

5. Which player on your current roster are you least likely to trade? A-Gon

6. What is your all-time best transaction (draft pick/trade/free agent pick-up)? Josh Hamilton the year he blew up.

7. What is your all-time worst transaction (draft pick/ trade/free agent pick-up)? Howie Kendrick this year. Stupid.

8. Any players you find yourself gravitating toward, despite their being largely unpopular? The random shitty closer that typically hurts my team more the helps.

9. Who is the worst keeper you’ve ever kept? Josh Beckett

10. Who is the best sleeper on your team currently? Edwin Encarnacion

League

11. How were you introduced to the league? How do you know Lars? I started this bitch. I have known Lars for a while. Good guy all-around.

12. How many current owners did you know prior to joining the league? Which ones? The only ones I didn't know are Andrew, Dan, Moose.

13. Who would you say is your biggest rival in High & Tight? If none, who would you most enjoy pulverizing? Casten. He is the evil empire. I live to watch him lose.

14. Who is your favorite trade partner? Who is your least favorite? Favorite is probably Dave, because it's somewhat painless. Least favorite is obviously Jason. It can be excrutiatingly painful. I no longer make trades with him for this reason.

15. What is your initial reaction when you see you’ve received a trade offer from Jason? Reject. Don't even have to look at it.

16. Anything you’d like other owners to know about your interaction with the league? (examples: “I check my email/league site at lunch time,” “I often travel and don’t have access to the internet,” “Your odds of executing a trade with me go up considerably if you send me a picture of Scarlet Johansson posing provocatively,” etc.)? I check my emails/lineup every morning and a few times throughout the day. I typically have Stattracker up on my phone every night. I often take a shit when managing my team.

17. How would you describe your pre-draft preparation? I spend 80% of the time managing the league and making sure everything is in order. I don't get a whole lot of time to draft prep because of this, and the fact that I run another league.

18. How often do you go on the H&T website/blog per day? 3-5 times.

19. What is the weirdest place/situation you’ve checked your lineup? In a business meeting.

20. If you could make one change to the league, what would it be? Kick Jason out of it.
