What if we give Brother Gopher the 9 pts that Castillo might have gotten, out of respect for the tragedy at NIU? It might seem kind of trite, but I think it kind of sucks that Goph is penalized for something so horribly unexpected. What do y'all think? Commish?
I disagree because shit happens and all of us have missed matches due to unforseeable circumstances, I think davis dipped on me to attend a funeral the other week. but if jensens wants to give him the points I guess I wont complain, I dont think it matters either way as I wont win
loST: this is a fantasy competition; all of us are in this just for the fun of it. I do not understand your attitude at all..................your attitude is to say the least troubling.
As you grow up, I hope that you can put things in perspective. I've lost a brother to murder....I've lost a cousin.........I"ve lost good friends who were in the wrong place at the wrong time..........
Please sit down and do some serious thinking about what you believe in.....what is important.......and what you want to do with your life..........
Sorry if I'm seem insulting, but I can't just sit and read your opinion without commenting on it.

Well said Brother TLV.
Brother LoSt, I know you are a bigger and better man than your last post portrays you. For what it's worth, I will continue to believe in you my friend.
Im sorry maybe I should have chosen my words more carefully, "Shit happens" is obviously not the right thing to say at a time like this I didnt mean to come off like I did. I actually cried last night when I read the article about the shooting, I dont want you guys to think Im a jerk who doesnt care about people because thats not true. I'm also an incredibly practical person that values logic over emotion in most things though, I think sometimes I come off more callous then I really am.
As for the whole castillo situation, I have lots of reasons for why I dont think gofer should be getting pitty points for his guy not being able to wrestle but I'm not going to argue this one, because that would demean the situation and those who lost their lives and loved ones. I was just stating my opinion.
You guys can do what you want and I wont complain this is after all just a game and as involving as it may be it pales in the face of such tragedy.
