League

11. How were you introduced to the league? How do you know Lars? I grew up in Wells and have known these clowns for years.

12. How many current owners did you know prior to joining the league? Which ones? I knew Troy, Lars, Dave, Leech, Casten.

13. Who would you say is your biggest rival in High & Tight? If none, who would you most enjoy pulverizing? Troy is my biggest rival, but I've owned him for all these years, so its not much of a rivalry.

14. Who is your favorite trade partner? Who is your least favorite? I don't trade very much

15. What is your initial reaction when you see you’ve received a trade offer from Jason? Let's see what collective bag of shit he wants to give me for Wright and Cliff Lee....

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 don't check trades nearly as much as I should, and it takes me too long to reply..... your best bet is to email me and see if we can come up with some ideas of what each of us would be looking for.
