I was in the middle of a 7-7 game with TedCawkwell. He got mad at me bc i told him i was home, then as we were in the game he said no wait im home, so he closed out of nesticle only to figure out I was really home. So we get back into the game, and start playing. Its a 7-7 game and he's backup up at his own 5 yard line, and throws. I INT the pass. Cawkwell goes: youre gay, and the next thing I see is a blue screen and it says NES Video Destroyed or whatever. I cant keep video's bc my computer's hardrive space is limited. what do i need to do to get my forfeit win?

Wow... I think the rules say Bye Bye to Cawkwell and an auto win for Cubs.

Um thats one instance. The other 3 links are to show that this MathewCrimson complains alot himself.
Just thought i'd point that out. Not siding with Ted or Cubs but we should hear Teds side first before we dump him. I know from playing Cubs that he is kinda demanding:) I was having keyboard problems with second PC(which ended up being serios PC problems) and he kept shouting he wanted a forfeit win so I'm not passing judgement till Ted speaks for himself. That is all.

I mean looking at TPC, Ted has one of the lowest feedback ratings of anyone.
In fact its fourth lowest out of the 85 or so on the front page.

Ted is an interesting dude from my experience.
Sometimes he's really cool, win or lose. Good banter, nice competitor, good dude. He even IMed to thank me after I answered a question he had on the message boards a couple weeks ago, which I thought to be a kind gesture.
Other times...he can be kind of a sore loser. I am one of the folks who gave him a negative rating one time on TPC. If I remember correctly, I had just run for 260 yards against him with the vaunted combination of GB RB's Keith Woodside and Michael Haddix. I think he was Rams or something, but that's beside the point. He said something along the lines of how he hated the game and didn't know why he bothered to play it and that it was "bullsh**" that I was able to run for so many yards with crappy RB's (I'm still not following that logic...). As soon as the game ended and the stats screen showed up, he destroyed the video and left without GG. I was fortunate enough to hit f5 in time to get the .sta, but it was still a classless move on his part. It wasn't as if he had fumbled 8 times and was cursed by the Tecmo gods.
Still, his track record with me has been fairly positive aside from that one encounter. I agree with kain that we probably should hear his side of the story, if there is one. Not that I don't believe Cubs or anything but let's see what Ted has to say for himself.

The only encounter I had with him was when I wasn't around he said "you suck" "you're never on" etc. Otherwise, he's a pretty nice guy.

I mean I dont think whether he's a nice guy or not really plays into this. Assuming what Cubs said was true (he told me he was leaving to play cawk, then about ten minutes later signed back on and told me what happened). Also the fact that ted hasnt commented here or been online sence is questionable. The fact is he is in the lower 5% in TPC feedback rating. And assuming he did quit, he shouldn't be in this league. Every other league, including this one say if you quit... auto boot. Later Ted

Disasta has put me in charge of finding a replacement for Ted. Let me know if you have any good suggestions. I think TheTecmoThumb would be an excellent addition so I'm kind of waiting to hear back from him but if that falls through we'll need to come up with another option. Of course it will also need to be a guy who can host, as Thumb allegedly can. I know most of the guys on TPC but it's quite possible that a Ted-caliber, hosting-capable noob has evaded my radar.

I love how not responding is seen as an addmission of guilt. It may come as a shock to you 15 yr olds, but people have real lives outside of Tecmo. Cubs is a jerk. He loaded the Rom 2 times even after admitting that I should be the home team. After I said, "I have to go" (becuase at this point it had taken over 10 min to setup) , he calls me "stupid" and a "homo" for not wanting to be 2nd player. Eventually, I kickoff, which I shouldnt have done, but I want to get my game in. Cubs continually called me names "Gay, idiot, etc" throughout the game. It was 7-7 and I had the ball and decided I had enough. I warned cubs numerous times that I was going to quit the game, and since it was 7-7, it was even. He continued and I quit. If this means I get booted, so be it. I wouldnt want to play in a league where people like Cubs are allowed as it takes all the fun out of the game. Learn how to be an adult, or play in a league where stupidity is exalted. Apparently, youve chosen the latter.
