I always said since the creation of the PBL that my top goal is to provide the best online gaming experience for everybody in the league. I was always willing to accept help and bring new people into management positions (Colorado and Seattle for example). With the start of a new season here now is the perfect time to announce there will be a new Commissioner in the PBL. Kenny Danger (San Diego Padres GM) has been brought on board and will now have the position "Commissioner of Gaming". Kenny will be in charge of promotions, games (Pick'em, etc) and helping me bring even more NEW and exciting side attractions to the PBL. I always wanted and will always want to keep adding additions to the league. I think these side games are great ways to keep every team active on the boards, and keep those who are having a tough season or rebuilding interested in the league as well. However, being realistic I know I would need to bring someone in to take this position because as great as these side games are, I do not want them to take away from the actual Sim schedule, HTML Reports and the main reasons why we joined this league. Come on, I hope nobody thought I was really going to give up my position as Commissioner in this great league that we created!!!

Its kind of funny that this announcement has come today right after Tampa has created "Fact or Fiction" which I am very excited about. These are the ideas that are going to make this league.
Also, I had brief discussions with Kenny already about creating something very fun and what I consider unique to many OOTP leagues. Once we develop our talks a bit further, there will be an announcement on that as well.
Today is a good day in terms of BIG and POSITIVE changes for PBL...

Good news so far and a good choice. I like the weekly Pick'em concept as it rewards GMs who are active and aware of what is going on beyond their own team. More of the same in addition to the well run "main" commish activities can only be good.

No credit goes to me. A league is only as good as its commissioner. (see TPBL ) Plus, I just got here.
