It is like I have been saying for years the effort outweighs the fun, so I am out. I wish everyone and the league the best.

James, I genuinely appreciate your contributions and voice to the PNFL for 37 seasons.
It will be hard to replace you.

Idk, every time I hear you on Friday Night Lights, still seems like you're engaged and having fun. Really enjoy your conversation in person.

Hope you find this was the right move, I think we can all understand frustration with aspects of running a team in FBPro of various kinds. You're always welcome to come back and if you later decide you want to do this again, you know where to find us.

I couldn’t comprehend this was real at first.
Best of luck James, thanks for all of your insights and conversations through the years.

Best wishes and good luck in all your future endeavors unless of course you decide to return after a nice, long refreshing break.

thanks Everyone It has been fun and I hope you all win a Super Bowl.
Rich thanks for the nice write up but fire your editor I am 4th in total regular season games and it 571 games. I won't be 5th until Dean passes me in 85 games unless you bring Thomas back. Thomas with my roster I have to come back to Friday Night lights to watch that.
In all serious the only part for me that fun was Friday Night lights watching other coaches' games and doing the podcast. So, it was time to pack it up. Whoever is the coach taking them over I am positive they will do better with the roster than I was.
Coaches by total games
Charlie 825
Jerry 745
Justin 586
James 571
Thomas 544
Dean 487
Walter 484
Rich 459
Steve 441
William 415
The original commish only has 112 games and he was commish when I joined the first time.
The interesting fact I was in the league when every active coach joined the league except Jerry and Charlie. And the only active coaches who have been in the league when I wasn't are Justin(Though I was there when you join both times), Charlie and Jerry.
I have left and come back 3 times. I promise you there won't be a 4th. But I will hop on Friday Night lights from time to time like Tim did.
