I can't believe idiots here wanted to trust him with their money. :-)
They didn't. They entrusted me with their money and real names. Hootie was supposed to work with everyone else on the picks but it became the all Hootie show. He wouldn't listen to anyone. Our $5000 became his personal stack of money to play with as he saw fit.
I tried to get him to change. But, it had to be all about Hootie, It was Hooties way or the highway. Losing 1/2 our money in two weeks didn't help. But, it was inability to get along with anyone that forced him out as the lead FF player.

The Hootie show won money week 2
The flop and otwp CHIEFS STACKS lost the money week 1. Period. Go look at the history.
I'd never be dumb enough to play Alex Smith 15 times and Jeremy Maclin 50 times.
Deleting those 70 lineups was insane. I remember the lineups, though. I know who I played and all the salaries. I'm looking forward to today when you morons cost yourselves a winning week.

This is so Hootie-like it's impossible not to believe you. In fact, if you described what happened and hten posted a poll with 100 CP users listed and asked people to identify which person had done what you describe, I think nearly everyone would have picked Hootie.
Oh, and by the way, the money lost the first week? Flop and otwp stacked chiefs players everywhere. No joke. There was even a Vick lineup. I looked and thought, "lol"
I even warned against it.
So I keep getting this blame yet I was the one who carried us week 1, too.

Its pretty simple. Hootie didn't want to take anyone else s advice or input, he alienated every other lineup maker we had, changed their lineups after they were entered. He also violated the first rule that we agreed to that he made which was not personally playing in the same game the group had their entries in and when being called on it all pretty much told everyone to fuck off he was the brains and he would do what he wants.

Hey, I understand he's a fucking douchebag. I would think every grown person who sent in a 100 bucks also knew that full well going in. But what does that have to do with banning him here?
Here's what the last straw for me was. The first rule of fight club is their is no fight club. The first rule of our adventure is no one plays an entry into the same game we are doing. Hootie all of a sudden gets some free entries and thinks its ok for him to play the same entries he's putting into our lineup as his own lineup. He forgot the first rule of fight club. But its ok... he was going to pay us all some extra if one of the same lineups hit the million... and his own words, "hey if i don't you guys still get to split $350k!"

Turning $100 into $8000 sure would've been tough to handle if my free roll hit a jackpot, I know
