So I was kicked out of my own fantasy entity ...

Throw in his usual "It's not my fault that I'm so great." bullshit and everyone quit working with him.

What's sad is that he knew what type of playing it took to win big in these things but couldn't get over his "gut" feelings and play that way.

It sounds like his lineup was actually effective. Shocking that the one filled with Chiefs players failed, though. I thought they were really onto something.

Hootie is distorting what happened to make himself look better.

He went way too heavy on a small group of players and got us kicked in the nuts in the first week.

I just read through the first several pages of the Hootie breaking his most important rule thread and holy shit, that guy has serious mental issues.

And if he was such a master fanduel guy, he would be able to bankroll his own 5k per week at this point. He has been playing it for years. But he doesn't have his own bankroll like that because he isn't a master fanduel guy. He is a bullshit artist.

And at this point, fantasy football is way more luck than skill.

Hootie put in work into learning how the guys that win big, win big. He just couldn't get out of the way of his own ego and play that way.

Bingo, except for the fact that it's just not true. Hootie was exaggerating the Chiefs players in lineups. Hootie did the majority of the lineups in the first week, and major money was lost. Some of us wanted to wait because the first week felt rushed, but Hootie pushed forward claiming 'it's not rocket science' or something along those lines.

From that point forward, he was tough to work with. He put his gut feelings over other people's research and suggestions. Somebody last week or the week before called for Miami's defense and Lamar Miller to be used, and was brushed off because Hootie didn't like. Same situation with a decision involving Denard Robinson. Hootie had a gut feeling. Nzoner provided him with written proof that Toby Gerhart would be getting at least a bulk share of the reps that week for Jacksonville. Hootie brushed it off, because his gut told him that Denard was gonna have a monster day. Denard bricked.

Yes, Hootie was doing the majority of the work, but a lot of that was because he sucks so hard at working with others.
