I've removed the Punt Block in all 5 of your leagues before your post was created. I'll be removing it from all the leagues I'm in by the end of the day.



The thing is: It shouldn't have come to this. Not from you. ****, even GrandadB posted in Elite Football League that he was done using it (I hope he sticks to it). How many times had we talked about this? How rotten it is to use. Then you go against the gentleman's agreement that you approached me with!!!

Mind blown, man. Mind. Blown. I'm still steaming over this, because it came from a friend. "Sorry" doesn't cut it. You knew we had the agreement & you chose to overlook that fact. I'll get over it eventually, but not soon.

Wait, wait. Lets be fair here.

I made the agreement in last season's Conference Finals game between us and it was radio silence this season, correct.

Maybe I should have reached out. I would have if it was Conference Final level and we would have agreed to pull it.

It'll be pulled now across the board because it'll be less a headache to deal with the after effect (someone clowning when they hit it on me) than this.

So you're saying the gentleman's agreement wasn't across the board? I assumed it meant all match-ups in all leagues. It's not like we don't play each other every season somehow.

I'm glad you're pulling it. You don't need it. I don't need it. GrandadB doesn't need it. This game doesn't need it. I've been the bad guy in this. Ask slowtospeak.

I made a mis-calculation.

I should have saw your name and knew it was safe or if you got me with it be like eh, ok. That line is difficult to draw and I understand some want to see me get mashed now with it.

Out for blood etc.

GDB was the first to hit me with it. Pissed me off beyond belief to never have it happen to me again so I put all my mental energy into making it potent to fight back at anyone coming at me like that.

I'm either on or off.... I can't do things halfway. It's better I pull it 100%....but it's hard when you know individual on the other side sometimes such as a GDB or an aggressive type. You know it's coming or if someone mouths at me like Warrior non-stop.

He hit me, too. I warned you about it & that's when I started using it (not in every league, but a few). It took slowtospeak saying "he was gonna use it, because he wasn't gonna get beat by it", for me to see what I was doing. I don't wanna be the guy that everyone says "Well, he's the reason I use it". It certainly isn't worth it. This is coming from a guy that doesn't mind playing the bad guy, too.

I'll stand down.

It has hit stigma level so basically now it'll be electro-shock to anyone whom hits a punt block = deterrence for someone to use it.

I know I'm going to get hit but you've got to weigh someone's getting off on 'getting you' vs. pissing people off. Since it's being pushed back hard at - I'm pulling it because the chances of how much I get hit with it should really narrow out to nothing over time.

To Crazy Razor.

Alright, my man. Pay attention to Paydirt. I have Bond's "M" and last game he punt blocked. It's your boy. I'm going to pull it and amp my pass blocking on punts and we'll see if I survive. Test game but I can't go back, right? :)

I know this was addressed to Crazyrazor but if that happens and "M" blocks a punt or 2 while you arent trying.....you would be just like 29 owners in the XFL where you blocked 44 punts through 16 games while having ZERO of your punts blocked.....it sucks, feels wrong and doesnt seem fair.

Personally, I still have no problem with this. I think punt blocks are part of the game, and if you pull one off, good on you.

I ran into a problem when I made the transition from follower to leader. People started looking at *me* when they were figuring out how to play. Since I did not want to teach other people to be ruthless, I dialed back on the punt blocking.

You, Smirt, are a leader, whether you want to be one or not. If you are okay with everyone else learning to block punts, go right ahead. Just know that other people are looking at you when they are learning how to play, just like I did. Getting taken advantage of once in a while is the price of civility.

RE: CJ.

Yeah, I know and I'm not stupid. You got me boxed in to where if I use it - I'm out of the league and if I don't I'm taught a lesson as it wallops me.

Nothing is ever as clear as black and white.

I get the best game plans thrown at me, much like you do. I've got a pretty good grasp of whom will pull it out or wants at me at all costs. You got me very early on with it and when I was losing 5 straight title games in a row left and right you weren't too bothered by that. But lets not debate. We'll clear the game up and remove it from the game.
