We had the most winningest record in the second half of the season, and while San Diego gave us a run for our money, we went 8-0 after the 1st round. I don't think it's a fluke, we just had a very shitty start to the season. I truly believe we would've been ahead of Mississauga had we started the way we finished the season. Stats matter

hi Jardy

hell of a team you have Jiggs, nothing to be upset about honestly, making it to the semi's and I'm sure your squad was active and that's the most exciting part. GG to you and the whole team @JigglyGumballs

I like being mediocre. Makes me feel good.

I see how this relates to the topic at hand and has anything to do to add to the discussion. Congratulations, I went inactive... I paid the price for it with my bad rep for years, and I've now been the most active I've ever been and the most involved since my initial spurt way back in Season 7. Am I proud I went inactive? No. Does it have ANY relevance to anything I spoke about today that it needs to be brought up? Can't say it does. But kudos to you for somehow making this personal against me when it has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Bravo.

you're funny. Thanks for the giggle my friend.

@Beketov didn't lose his touch. He's very bad good.

I know I haven't lied whatsoever to get to the point I am at. I got San Diego fair and square, was there for 10 seasons, and I got Miami fair and square after that. What I would've or could've done that is 'scummy' is beyond me, you can DM me if you'd like to enlighten me, but as far as I'm aware, applying for a job isn't scummy, it's how you get a job. Thanks though for a good chuckle.

Lied my way to the top? My guy, I've been here since before you were born no doubt LMAO, lied my way to the top. I had to fuckin' GRIND just to get anywhere here, just like everyone else. I'm not pleading ignorance, I've talked to the parties involved that are being questioned, I'm not saying their LR has been perfect, no one has, it's the WAY this is being handled. RJ was blindsided by this, Hex was blindsided by this, NEITHER of them knew he was unhappy until this article came out. HOW do you expect ANYONE to resolve ANYTHING, if they aren't given a fair chance and instead blasted via an article first? Answer: They can't. Crawl back to the hole you came out of, this isn't the time for a fight you know nothing about kiddo.

So you've talked to RJ and Hex or? So you know that RJ was on vacation for a week, comes back to this, WITHOUT any warnings or triggers that this player is disgruntled at all? Do you find that fair as a GM at all, that we're not able to try to resolve this privately, without the need to blast literally the WHOLE fuckin' franchise for what? Five minutes of spotlight or? I see no reason why this all couldn't have been said in private, and we know, by TALKING to RJ, that it wasn't done in private, at all. Funny people condone this type of behavior but I'm not too shocked at who is condoning it LOL.

As a GM who has had this happen to him twice... yeah...twice, these types of posts never cease to blow my mind. I've truly never, ever understood exactly why people feel like posting something like this is their first resort when being unhappy with a situation or just to rant in general. This doesn't dismiss your feelings, btw, it's just the way that it's been handled that I really don't love, at all, and it really makes being a GM super frustrating sometimes when it is handled like this. How exactly am I speaking about? Well... going behind your GM's back, not even making an attempt to reach out to said GM and then putting them, their AGM and their whole franchise on blast for what, what really does this achieve. I would absolutely understand if you had talked to RJ, and talked to Hex, and maybe vented your frustrations in private, asked for a trade, etc. But to just put someone, in fact MULTIPLE people on blast without any private talks... is kinda shady. And the reason I even bothered to type this out is because of the first point I mentioned about this having happened to me TWICE, but also because I don't want this to become a casual thing or become accepted behavior. It's hard enough being in the limelight all the time as a GM, and honestly no one deserves to be put on public blast UNLESS all private options have been exhausted and you are left with no choice. I also feel like this shouldn't be happening to two of the best members on this site. RJ and I go way, way back, and have extensive history with one another and I have NOTHING but good things to say about RJ. RJ has been through a roller-coaster ride, and finally had some time off, and then comes back to THIS? Like c'mon... and now poor Hex gets dragged through the mud too? I am not too sure if that is why he stepped down or just the timing but either way... just ridiculous for another amazing member to have his name dragged. Truthfully, I hope you understand how disrespectful this article is. I'm just being blunt here, no BS, not trying to be fake or anything, this kind of behavior truthfully... isn't cool. #Bye.

@DMaximus Thank you as well for the amazing and quick talks. @Kuba-Fleury While I didn't get to see you in action here in Miami, you'll have many more opportunities as a starter in Philly, good luck! @Sportsboy57 Very excited to bring you onto the team, can't wait to work with you

The fact my name was wrong is insulting dom, how dare you?! jk, love the breakdown, very thorough.

YES you crazy mothafucka! I'm so happy for you @fonziGG <3333333

Unfortunate for Beav to step down entirely but obviously if he said his VHL experience was tarnished during his step-down speech of his commish duties, this only made sense to follow. Regardless @Beaviss hell of a run, I loved playing for Vancouver and getting us that cup, though we both wish we could've got more while I was there haha. As such, since I was not considered for the most recent opening, I would like to be considered if possible for this one @Beketov. Thank you for your consideration, and @Beaviss enjoy your free time my friend, well deserved.

Way back when, San Diego was merely a thought in the minds of the league staff until it came to fruition. I was selected as the first ever GM for the San Diego Marlins in a market that could've gone 50/50. And while people hated on the logo... a lot, the team itself has a lot of rich history. San Diego made many great players, both current and already retired, and I had one of the best experiences ever being GM there. I met not only so many returnees that made the experience amazing, but a TON of first generation players that have now become staples in the league, some of them moving on to either become a GM themselves, or even make hall of fame players like my boy @Tate. One thing however always loomed over me, and that was my burning desire and passion to be a VHL GM, and so after 10 seasons, I had thought my time was here, failed attempts prior and a lot of personal development lead me to tell myself the time was now, or potentially never if I wasn't seen fit to GM at that time. Unfortunately I put all my eggs in one basket, stepped down from the team I had built from the ground up, and I did regret it after being rejected for 3 new GM positions. So I decided to say 'to hell with it', I missed GMing and so I decided to re-apply for the VHLM. Now I am in Miami and having a blast. It's got a new set of challenges, a new team around me, a new atmosphere, and I have loved every single moment of it thus far. I will still dream of being a VHL GM one day, hopefully they will see me as worthy when it is truly my time to shine, but until then, the VHLM remains my home, and I'm okay with that

congrats on your decision @BladeMaiden unfortunate to not get to team up with you, but glad you made a decision you'll be happy with

@BladeMaiden no pressure but like... DA BEARZ! this would be awesome.

23 votes? Honestly I'm honored guys and gals. Thank you

Despite just getting Miami, I'd like to apply. Was not sure there would be an opening anytime soon until this tidal wave of resignations began haha. I hope this does not hurt my chance, as I think my goal of becoming a VHL GM has been apparent for some time, and I came back to the M just simply due to being rejected for the previous two openings and wanting to be a GM again. If you need my resume or questions, please inquire

A good one lost here congrats on the tenure.
