A New Era at DerbyTrail.com

[Calzone Lord]

As some of you have observed, DerbyTrail.com has been in an extended slump.

Our leadership has regrettably made some very bad decisions.

I'm not going to knock our braintrust for making an error when we selected Alabama Stakes in the 1st round of the 2010 draft...but we're STILL trying to dig ourselves out of that fiasco.

Some of the decisions appeared to make sense at the time. Trading Philcski for a 2012 1st round draft pick was a tough move. The argument at the time was 'we are getting great value for a recently married poster who is getting deep into his 30's'

However, that trade looks absurd now considering we used the draft pick on Handicapper Ernie and we've already cut him.

I am here to tell you that this is now a new Era at Derby Trail. I've offically been hired to run this board.

This all started when I got a PM from Kasept advising me that DerbyTrail.com has taken steps to issue several billion dollars worth of corporate bonds so that DT can pay special dividends to me as new CEO and give me the ammo to recruit new talent.

This is, of course, his first brilliant move in a while. He is leveraging the incalculable value of DT.com to borrow low cost money, which will pay my salary and allow me to bring in heavy hitters.

I have also accepted the title of 'Super Mod' and I want to make one thing clear to all right now...

PLEASE, let's try to keep some of the discussions a little more civil around here, if we could.

For example, instead of, "You don't know what the fucl< you're talking about, you sperm-chugging mongloid," try for something more like, "I understand your position, but I respectfully disagree."

I'll report back with more information as necessary.

Thanks for your time and cooperation.

PS - pending the results of her physical and a psychological evaluation, Riot has been traded to Paceadvantage.com for a 7th round pick in 2013.
