Dynasty 1st year 5-3
Dynasty 11th year, but my first year in league 1-5-2 (started blowing team up in preseason; roster as constituted when I took over had no shot at success in 2013. 16-team league and even at 1-5-2 there are three teams with a worse record.)
Keeper 6-2
Redraft 2-6
The keeper and redraft are free leagues. That redraft league will be my first crappy performance in one since 2003.

In my big money league I'm 3-5 right now. The worst part is that it's simply a painful 3-5. Should be about 6-2 right now but some awkward start/sit calls on my part and some unlucky matchups led to several close losses. I'm also 3rd in scoring in my league while somehow sitting in 9th place.
Week 1 - L: I lost by about 5 points despite playing against Manning and his 7 TDs.
Week 2 - L: Started Mike Williams over Tavon Austin and lost by about 6 points.
Week 3 - L: Had the honor of playing Russell Wilson's 4 TD game and Jordan Cameron's 3 TD game in the same week.
Week 4 - L: Had to play the guy who broke out league record in scoring (6 seasons old league with no scoring chances since). And I came in second in points that week, was still about 40 points shy. (He had Drew Brees 4 TDs, Torrey Smith 166 yds, 1 TD, Alshon Jeffery 134 yards 1 TD ... Foster 171 yards 1 TD, Reggie Bush 173 yards 1 TD) rough week.
Week 8 - L: Lost by 10 points. Sat Jimmy Graham for Heath Miller and sat Terrance Williams for Colston and started Rueben Randle over DeAngelo Williams in my flex. The New Orleans game REALLY screwed me this week. Also (IDP) had 2 of my IDP players get injured in the first quarter of the game and leave. Probably would have made up the difference too.
Not making excuses, it's just been a painful season to lose so horribly every week even though my teams doing well. I made a run the past 3 weeks to at least be 3-5 right now and only be a game out of the playoffs. Still though, been rough sledding this season.

6-2,2-6 My losing team is better than my winning team. Bunch of underachievers.

Yeah he is a pathetic 2-6 there, after drafting a washed up team and deciding to quit in middle of Year 1. Loser. Would hate to see the level of competition in the leagues where he has winning records.

7-1 in my only league. First place out of 12 teams!
Overcame drafting Doug Martin, Bowe, Colston, Vincent Brown, and Darren McFadden by doing some moves that paid off:
Drafted QB after round 8 with Romo and Rivers.
Waited on TE, drafting Cameron and Gates after round 11.
Drafted Blackmon round 12.
Made timely WW pickups: KC Defense, Moreno, Keenan Allen, Fred Jackson.
Pulled off a mega trade for Megatron, by dealing Alfred Morris and Darren McFadden for him after Week 1 to the Wilson/Vereen owner who panicked.
I'm feeling really good about how this season worked out, in spite of a less than perfect draft. Thanks Shark Pool, for the great advice.

Not only did he drop out of Legends IV he secretly got his $300 back from LeagueSafe before doing it.

League started in 2004 with 1980s style scoring. The only thing new school about the league is we use IDPs and a salary cap. In a 3-week stretch my opponents outscored me by 2 points and I went 0-1-2. The only ties this year involved my team

5-3 in all four leagues I'm in. I'd say one team is underachieving slightly (lost a game by less than a point), one is slightly overachieving, and the other two are just about right.
You must be forgetting the league that you are 2-6 in where you took back your $300 league fees without telling anyone. But other than that, you're a standup guy!

Ouch. This is why I won't join leagues where I don't know at least a large majority of the people. At least not when they are for $$$$.

He was initially appointed treasurer of the league, then when there was a commissioner switch, it was suggested the new commish take over the leaguesafe responsibilities, which we did. However, somehow Josh (Meyerj31) was able to get a refund from leaguesafe in early September and he continued managing his team as if nothing had happened. He even went as far as recently trading Calvin Johnson. It amazes as to why he continued to play his team each week. I guess he thought if he won money he would say in the end that the "refund thing" was an accident and appeal to our good conscious to pay him winnings. Regardless, it's a sad turn of events for sure.

That's the biggest thing - if he wanted out of the league - why didn't he just drop out and tell us? I'm sure we could've found another owner. It really seems like he had much worse intentions than just getting his buy-in back.

It appears that they made an error that violates their own Terms and Conditions. I'm giving them an opportunity to rectify the issue; I'll post more details once something has been determined one way or another.

People like this, somehow, should be on a list so other people know of their histories. Thanks to you guys, this guy is now on my list of disregarding every post he makes. Using the "block" tool will come in handy for this guy as well.
Otherwise, to try and stay on topic, though the above idiot's dealings are far more interesting...my team is 1st overall at 6-2, but other teams are clipping at my heels. Definitely not feeling confident, and trying to swing some trades as a result.

8-0, #1 in points in my free (yet prestigious and competitive) 12 team PPR Reddit league, the NarFFL.
5-3, #2 in points in my 12 team Re-Draft PPR (13th year), $200 buy in.
5-3, #2 in points in my 12 team "Going Deep" PPR league, $25 buy in.
Just gotta keep scoring points and hope the scheduling evens out.

He didn't have the balls to tell us he was dropping, I doubt he's going to chime in here when he knows he got caught.
