You did a helluva job as Commissioner, DB. I can't sing your praises enough. I know you put in a lot of time and hard work in making this game the best that it could be.

I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I thank you from the bottom of my heart for starting the league, and providing all of us with the many hours of pleasure the game provided.

Now, if I may, I'd like to clear up a few misconceptions, lest anyone misunderstand where we stand in our fantasy rivalry.

Baseball: I won the first half last year. You won the second half. I finished ahead in total points. Big edge to me.

Football: We both went out the first week of the survivor game, so that doesn't count. Altho you beat me in the BDD Yahoo league, that doesn't count either, because it wasn't an ESPN game. True, you finished ahead of me in the weekly pick 'em game, but not by much. Tiny edge to you.

Pro Basketball: I won the first half. You're in the lead in the second half, but haven't won yet. I lead the race for total points by 2. Big edge for me.

College Basketball: You beat me in this game by only 10 points, but the game hardly counts for anything since a)You have to pick teams, not players, and b)They're a bunch of college teams anyway, not pros, so it means very little. Teeny-Tiny edge for you

Baseball this year: I'm off to a fast start, and while I consider you my most dangerous foe, that's only because except for LDV, the rest of the competition is so weak. I'm out in front, and expect to stay there. Big edge for me.

Golf and bass fishing haven't been decided yet. I'm studying for them now.
