Re: Wednesday/Friday Waivers

The idea of Thurday only FAAB is appealing because of the late-week news that is vital to decision-making. If the goal is to reward owners for informed decisions, and to take luck out, then it seems like a strong call to have the FAAB run for the majority of the player pool on FRI/ SAT. I like the i...

Another great year

I just gotta give props to this contest for the second straight year. With the number of things that can go wrong in this type of setting, Greg and the NFFC guys really have this thing nailed down. As an aside, our league went down to the wire with seven teams in the hunt for total points or best re...

Idea to stop deadbeat owners

I find it ironic that I've seen discussion over whether or not WED or FRI FAAB runs are better, which has practically no bearing on league outcomes because it's uniformly implemented. Meanwhile, something that impacts win/loss records and prizes is a taboo topic. Ironically, I could've cared less ab...

R.I.P. WCOFF

The lawyers are combing through ways to pierce the corporate shield to attack personal assets. It's doubtful those ass clowns had insurance, but that would be attacked too. Then the partners that did business with them would also be scrutinized. Basically, anybody that knew they were running a ponzi...

Idea to stop deadbeat owners

Basically, if you think avoidable luck should just be a part of the game, I don't know what to say. Felix, everyone is equally as likely to benefit in H2H? Are you even trying to think here? It benefits the person that goes against somebody who quit, that's it. There's a reason we don't have people ...

Idea to stop deadbeat owners

Playing devil's advocate on the idea that it would be a burden of time, I'm guessing the guys deal with inquiries about the issue every year. In fact, I'm not sure I understand the rules correctly, but I'll probably toss an email their way to point out the time it happened in my league and see what ...

Idea to stop deadbeat owners

Good to see this is getting discussion.

I think you could even lower the deposit to $25 or $50 and there would be less quitting.

Idea to stop deadbeat owners

Forgive my carrying on but for argument's sakes, win-loss record is a clear goal here so if one team quits then the teams they quit against have an advantage. That's an artificial advantage so it's arguable that it shouldn't exist. I wasn't actually bitching, if you were referring to me, but trying ...

DEF scoring question

What happens when the defense pitches a shutout, but the opposing team put up seven points off of a pick-six by their defense (ATL vs IND this week)?
