live scoring is not giving him credit for his TD pass.

ya, your mid-season team is coming together for you. still can't make up for the mismangement of your auction team. starting players on bye weeks??? i thought that was yahoo stuff? maybe your "20 years of data" told you to do that.
Week 6 QB Josh McCown BYE 0pts
Week 9 TE Alge Crumpler BYE 0 pts

yeah, Kennison was a solid buy in auction league.
That drained me a bit and you blocked me on 3 QB's Wk 6.
I bid on 2 more TE's this week and got blocked on those.
Only played in Auctions for two years.
Nice try on the deomocratic twist Kerry. Does Yahoo have auction leagues?
If draft slot bidding is so important, why did you settle for #9?
166.05 with McNabb and w/o A.Green. Happy.

Only played in Auctions for two years. How many years have you played in which players had bye weeks? Could have picked up a QB or TE a week early, no?

[/QUOTE]So what you are saying here is that in season management is more important than draft slot.
What you are also saying is that you can win from any draft spot, as you are #9, I'm #11, and I think CHI was #13.
The fact that when given the chance, you purposely opted for around pick #9 as none of your bids were over $20. This proves that the knowledge, in season management and the actual picks the owner makes are more important than draft slot.
Since we started late, and w/o looking, I haven't seen any FA in Mid-A that's been earth shattering.
On the auction...
I've never had any trouble signing FA's in a FAAB league the week I need them until now.
Getting M.Faulk in the low $30's put some budget restraints on my draft. I got shutout on every other QB possible.
The net result is that it did not matter either week as I lost and you lost $122 on FAAB.
In Mid-A, the #1 team has Crumpler this week in his lineup.
Should be a great race in Mid-A. A 4th team is coming up.
For those RB-RB guys, I went RB-QB-WR-RB, (and 7 decent WR's for depth). Pittman was 4th rounder. It's the picks, not the formula guys. I got lucky this time.

Doesn't make any sense.

Staff fired... Make that Ambrosius!!!
Wonder how much I'd be winning by if I wasn't running 4 companies and buying out an idiot partner in one of them.
Some of us have real lives Gekko.
Your post on owners that have lives that left bye week players in tells more about you than it does them. Enjoy your world.

I only looked at the bottom 50 teams. My guess is that those teams GAVE up, and don't care anymore....not that they have lives. It's good that you support deadbeat owners. I kinda figured you'd be that way. Good thing I got you quoted on that one.
