Mister October
Don't take it personally, but chances are you're just a posession player. That's just the nature of the game we play. The game being life. Follow the method...
Am I the only one that ranks friends and/or hookups? I think not. But I may be the only one who uses a complex algorithm to give a numeric score to them. (not to mention my ridiculous series of tunnels) And I'm probably the only one who would waive, trade, cut, draft and sign friends without batting an eyelash. I like to think of my life as an on-going fantasy league. (and yes, I'm doing very well, in case you were wondering) Anytime you move to a new neighborhood, start at a new school, get a new job, etc -- its like the draft. Lots of rookies (high schoolers) and free agents looking for that big payday and a chance for the title. And yes, I'll prey on that and take full advantage, because that's the kind of man/boy I am. Those of you that know me have no doubt heard me say "s/he brings nothing to the table.. don't bring them along again." It's really that simple. I'm pushing the salary cap and I don't really have room (or tolerance) for underachievers. Offended by my jokes; you're gone. Don't swallow; I'm shopping you, and I'll probably settle for a 2nd or 3rd round pick. Can't spit fire on my level; you may find yourself spending more time on the bench (or throwing triple A games) than by my side.
But what I really wanna talk about here is giving out the Franchise Tag to a friend (and it applies to hook-ups as well) It's a big step. But if you have that one guy/girl on the roster that you absolutely have to keep at all costs (and it can be hefty) what else are you gonna do? Chances are (if you have any kind of eye for talent) this person is a hot commodity and rival GM's are courting said asset. You want to secure the person that's gonna take your "club" to the next level. Every great method needs a great apparatus. Trust me on this--
The problem is -- so many of you are Isiah Thomas. You're glib. Someone rolls into the league, drifts from friend group to friend group and never really seems invaluable to any of them. Every weekend s/he is calling everyone on speed dial only to get, "we're not sure yet, but I'll call you when I hear." These clowns don't know what's going on and have nothing to offer. But then out of some random act of kindness, you let them tag along. Suddenly the moons align and the oceans part. They had some bad shellfish and suddenly they're on fire. Everything they say and/or do is getting a huge crowd and it's all deadly. Don't get too excited; contract player in a contract year. When they know this is their last chance, they suddenly decide to show up. This idiot has been mailing it in for years and now you really believe they're a PTPer? And it doesn't even have that much to do with them; most likely its because they got to come off the bench and play with a playoff caliber team. My god, my club is habitually in the post season; we could make any role-player look good. You play off of *this* all night and of course you're going to be a huge hit. But really, what did it take to catch the "give-and-go" all night? Was it that hard to dish off to me for 20 assists? Did Pippen really work that hard? You couldn't NOT succeed behind this offensive live, man. I'm not buying what you're selling, cheech. And like I said, I'm pressed for cap space....
But, when it works; you'll know. And that's when its time to tag your franchise guy/girl. Don't even hesitate. Pull the trigger and start making history. It's that same feeling that says, "no matter what else happens, at least I have that couch problem taken care of." There's a calm that comes with sinking your claws into misses "I can't believe she can do that with her tongue". You'll have the one piece of the puzzle that everything else will be built around. I know it's a tough deal to give anyone that kind of status, but the best booty of your life just might be worth it. And definitely having a red to your meth (mesh) is worth investing heavily in. So go ahead, and CTC--- you'll be glad you did.
And for those cats that never make the big plays. That choke in crunch time. That never commit themselves to the game. Well, take the wrench everytime... cos fuck them, that's why.
Naturally I'm in everyone's Cooperstown-- But you're not me....

You don't even know what glib means!
I'd prefer to be alluded to as the Bob Costas of all my groups...
