Gentlemen, The decision has been made to dismiss David as owner of the Chicago Bears, effective immediately. The decision was made based on David's decision to purposely lose a game in overtime. Out of frustration David admittedly elected to end the game by sprinting back to, and out of, his own endzone and give his opponent the safety. In the eyes of league management, this tactic was tantamount to quitting a game and is inexcusable. We wish David all the best, but please remove him from your league contact lists accordingly. This once again leaves us looking to fill the team with a quality owner, but I'm certain we will be able to do so in a quick, effective manner. The good news for potential owners is that we are just about ready to embark on our offseasons and then a new season. With that said, if any of you know of anyone that you would like to refer to take over the Chicago Bears, let us know as referrals are ALWAYS preferred. Your continued participation and your patience are greatly appreciated. A new Bears owner will be vetted as soon as possible, and we will make an announcement to name them once the process is complete. ~Jim QSF Commissioner Avery (AveryB) - Steelers Carl T.

I may have someone in mind and he's a veteran of U MLB and PMFL. Doug, I believe you know who I'm talking about. Let me reach out to him today and see what he has to say.
I hated it. It was a great game until he sprinted from his own 35yd line in the end zone. Craziest thing Ive ever seen. Glad I won, but not like that. Heck, he could have thrown me a Interception!
Not sure why someone would do that but perhaps he had a reason. Im not completely excusing him but I cant imagine a rational person doing this.
As for a refferal, i saw someone from a league im in that was on the waiting list but not sure if he was offered a team and declined or what not.
As disappointing as this is, Jim and I agreed that we cannot allow somebody who is willing to take matters into his own hands w/out discussing it with his opponent or the league staff first to remain in the league. I'm posting some recruiting threads in some other Madden related forums, but responses have been few and far between with it being so late in the release and we're reaching the end of the PS3 platform. Thanks for thinking of us, Pope. Let me know if Tony (Gohard1) changes his mind and we'll be able to get him on board (I only assume that is who it was). I sent a message to Marvis (hoodiii), but I did not receive a response. If you know of anybody else who would be interested, feel free to let us know. I offered a team to Ehmo (Ehmo Van), but he told me he was too busy already having difficulty juggling OMFL and HK. I also sent a message out to Mitchell (coachgaddy), Mike (mustang20241), and Keith (KorrosivD), but I did not receive a response. If you are able to reach out to these guys or anyone else who may be interested, that would be a tremendous help. I/we certainly don't expect this, so please do not feel obligated. Thanks.
I told you guys i have a person interested. His name is the same as mine and he may use my psn id from time to time but I CAN ASSURE YOU HE IS NOT ME!! I can contact him if you need me to
If we can't find a QUALITY, emphasis on QUALITY, owner to take over the Bears; I say we just let the CPU take them over. We have 1 more offseason left and then the final season, so I wouldn't see it being a big deal. Maybe it would, but I guarentee the CPU does better than 1-14. Lol Just no trading with the Bears.
That's because he isn't involved with any leagues here on TSO. We won't be appointing another owner unless they are worthwhile. No sense in continuing the revolving door.
Doug- Ill reach out to them. Like I said, I didnt know if they responded/changed their minds or what not. Nor am I disagreeing with your handling of the Bears owner. My game with the Bears owner was the first in this league and we played a solid game. I didnt see anything remotely cheesy. Maybe he was tanking or had to leave due to the a gf. (We've all been there. Some fights arent worth it...)
