Boston Classic League Draft Spots

That was a ridiculous solution, imo. Drafting a bunch of players on IR and players that have been waived was certainly a GREAT solution for other teams in this league; but also gave those teams an significant advantage over teams in leagues that had 14 legitimate drafters and not 13.
No question, I'm sure a few other leagues were "blessed" with some dead money but it sure creates a competitive imbalance to the overall contest when a team in one league drafts 3 players on IR; another 3 players that were waived, another player that's threatening to sit out the entire season and will definitely miss at least 6 games and an additional player that at best will miss around 8 games. WOW!!!!!!!!
Use a little F'king common sense!!!!!!!
Should be a couple high scoring teams in this league. :rolleyes:

Hey Frank
Hope Boston was good Missed our breakfast in Ny No John this year. As alaways being fair as you know last year I was robbed finishng 1st by a team that put a D/L kicker in Lost by.8 S happens What Seth and Todd could have done was contact other venues. For a replacement or one of them could have drafted that team and if the guy had a legit excuse than his choice to keep it or let it be offered to another owner. I am sure they were in panic mode so no blame what so ever. I just look at the integrity issue. Believe me in NY today a few owners were drafting K Brown as a kicker. Good luck this year

If the person taking over the team can re-pick for hardest, Tate, and Avery even now just to get receivers that might play, some semblance of fairness would be reached. And then obviously bid aggressively for receivers after week 1.

Does anyone really want to win an overall competition this way? It would be embarrassing.

Ditto Craig
Like to see his entire team to see if it would be worth it with stipulations added

Housh is going to land somewhere, forgetting Rice and Vjax returning much later, so its really two spots that need to be filled until then, which will be the bulk of the season. It's possible to make it a "fair" team but certainly not a winner.

It's possible to make it a "fair" team but certainly not a winner. This is a totally bad situation that's probably going to get a lot of press once everyone gets back home. I think it's going to be unfair for the overall standings. If someone (and hopefully so) takes over this team I think they should be able to go to the undrafted players & revamp the team with a minimum of 5 changes up to 7. Now way a team has 4 qb's! Leinart has been cut & if picked up will be a backup. Hardesty, Tate, & Avery are out for the season. V Jax could be kept cause someone else would have picked him anyway but he's out for a minimum of 6 games with possibility of not playing the season. Rice is out up to 8 weeks, possibility of the season with doctors telling him his hip is career threatening if he returns ( but he's upbeat as a young player). J.Campbell is a wasted spot as a third qb. This is terrible for the Boston league, but really terrible for the overall. This needs immediate attention. I'm sure with all the teams in the league a little extra loaded due to this mishap that even the free agent pool there is short on talent to pick from as replacements but at least it could put names in positions that would be playing on Sundays. This is still going to be messed up.

This is totally wrong...Of course the other owners are jumping for joy in this league. No way players should be put on a roster that are out for the year already. Feel bad for Greg and Tom who now have to deal with this BS. Like an earlier post, how is there not a contact number for this no show team. It would take an extra minute and take the next available ADP if the previous player was already IR. I bet nobody brought that up in the draft..very disappointing.
