As we prepare for the upcoming 2016 season, I first want to congratulate GrandadB on his championship season with the Cleveland Browns! I don't normally make these kinds of new topic posts unless they are related to the in-game season. This time, it is going to be a little bit different.
Sometime during the summer of last year, I looked back at this league and noticed that I was coming up on my 30th season in Paydirt. Fast forward to today, the 2016 season will be my 30th season in the Paydirt Football League. But, I made a goal and a promise to myself on that day last year. Hence, this message. With that said, I am here to announce that at the end of the 2016 season, I will relinquish my role, as both commissioner and member of the Paydirt Football League. When I first joined this league, I was either a junior/senior in high school. Since then, I've graduated high school, 4 years later, I've graduated college, and now, in present day, I am looking towards making a huge step in my career with a new full time job opportunity. Even though in the past, I have managed to put some time into managing this league, the past few seasons I have taken a step back in my commissioner role. I knew this back last year and considered resigning at the time, but this league and most importantly, you all have meant a lot to me. I told myself, I wanted to make it to season number 30 before calling it quits.
With all that being said, the last championship season for the Paydirt Dolphins was 10 seasons ago, in 2007. Safe to say, this team is hungry to win one last championship. This team will be pushing all its chips forward in pursuit of a championship and I would love to encourage everyone else to join on going all in. Let the 2016 season be THE GREATEST season in Paydirt history! Thank you all so much!
Good luck MVR, hope you change your mind before your 31st season. :)

this thread should be stickied. I'd be willing to step up as an admin, but i'm pretty sure everyone would step out. Ive run good leagues in the past, but I would invest in MFN simply and specifically to keep paydirt alive. However... I'm pretty sure folks would quit paydirt if I did. Anyway, if y'all would have me, i'd subscribe and put in the work to be the admin moving forward.
only if you change that irritating avatar, ha! Get a witchhunter image.

I will back anyone who would like to run Paydirt! I was here at the start, owner of my beloved Pittsburg Steelers for 22 seasons when for the first and only time, I traded teams! We needed owners at the time, hammond said he would play if he could have the Steelers, so I agreed and took Green Bay, have had them for 16 seasons, hammond played 3 seasons! I will be here as long as the league is or as long as I'm able!
Another delay? Why is this league so often delayed with no communication about it? The offseason is already so painfully long...

You are a MFN legend my friend, and longtime rival, we have outlasted quite a few. :)

Slick if I move on from this league down the road I’ll let you know before I do in the event you want the Steelers back. I’m going through a rebuild so I want to at least push through the other side of that.
