I'm getting married this Saturday with an out-of-country honeymoon to immediately follow.  I need some help with my teams.  I need high-level  D1 recruiting for two teams and management of seven other D1/D2 teams.  The dates I need assistance with are June 10-17.   Please let me know if you are interested and can help.  I'll set everything up and send detailed settings instructions to make it very easy on whoever helps.

Thanks!

bump.  Looks like I'll have to sweeten the deal: there's a $25 gift card it in for whoever can help.

I thought this was a joke but apparently you're serious.  Priorities anyone?   I say forget the fantasy sports and enjoy the honeymoon.  Do you want to hear every anniversary the story of her putting together all the last minute touches while you were gameplanning for 9 fantasy teams for the time you guys will be gone?  You'll probably even screw up and check the teams progress or say something like "I can't wait to see how my fantasy recruiting went," and then you've really screwed the pooch.  Just my advice but you'll most not likely be able to run those teams when you get back anyways, seeing how you will now be spending so many hours at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

Completely agreed with the priorities... make sure there's still time to recruit and gameplan on the honeymoon ;)
Would make for a great ESPN commercial

You're basically asking for the world here, I'm not sure anyone will bite, regardless of the "prize"...that's a lot of work, and perhaps poor planning on your end.

I don't mind helping with the management of D1/D2 teams but I don't want to recruit for you and have it go south. Let me know if you want me to help out with those teams.

You guys do realize it will take me about 30 minutes to tweak the instructions I put together three weeks ago right?  Thank you for inferring my complete lack of planning and devotion to my fiancee.  I really appreciate it.  Stay classy.  Thank you for reminding me why I don't read the forums anymore.

I am not sure why he is getting slammed... I am shocked he is even turning it over. When I went to Hawaii on my honeymoon I checked all my teams when the wife slept... I love my Smart Phone! 

WIS is quite a commitment, especially in the three two a day worlds I am in!

You're asking people to do stuff for 9 teams for 7 days for $25, including recruiting for 2 teams...I find this to be an outrageous request and very poor planning on your end...either you can take care of your teams or you can't, and if you can't, well that's too bad then...perhaps you should figure out how to split time between the wife and your addiction...make it happen dude...damn.

Jesus christ.  The guy didn't ask for a lecture.  Either you want to help or not.  If not, I don't understand why you would comment in this thread.  And yes, I understand the hypocrisy of my non-substance-related post, but this is why (obviously) people have stopped posting in the forums.

I might be interested, but not if I have to religiously follow a prescribed set of instructions like some kind of HD flow chart. Give me the reins and suffer the consequences and we're good to go...

(*Of course I will actually try to the best of my abilities to win your games and recruit good players, etc...my point being, trust me with the keys or don't, I don't want to just be a button pusher...)
