[quote name='PacerPerspect']This league, in my opinion, is a shell of it's former self. Hardly anyone plays respectfully and I know because I'm struggling this season it's going to come off as sour grapes, but I think the mainstays know that isn't the case because I haven't complained in previous seasons. It is what it is.[/QUOTE]
I have only been in this league for ten games, but I can't think of any game where someone didn't play sim ball or respectfully. I remember all 5 of my losses (MasterAwesome, Apple, Cru, Yanksrule, Zurezo) and the first four could have rubbed it in more than they did. They didn't though, they all pulled back once the game was out of reach and ran the clock out. Zurezo was a close game to the end and he played well too.
To speak specifically to our game in Week 3, I got up early and in the 2nd half, had a 21-7 lead and didn't attempt to run it up at that point and ran the ball. You got back into the game, pulled within 3 as a result at the end and I had to recover an onside kick to squeak out the win. I guess that is playing with no respect for your own opponent though.
