Earliest quitting team?

Post by mattjb » Sun Oct 09, 2011 10:39 am

Team in one of my OCs has quit after 4 weeks.

Today they are starting Henne, S Moss & Cundiff on a bye and an injured Mendenhall. How can youm quit after 4 weeks?!?

It happens every year, for a million different reasons. But believe me, any time I lost it on somebody and called them out on it, I looked like the bad guy because you never know if someone passed away in their family, or if someone had a flood or something happened to their home, or a million other reasons to make them forget about fantasy. It always sucks for the league, but try and roll with it and hopefully it doesn't affect the standings too much. In the big picture, this is something that I can't ever see going away in this hobby of ours.

Nice sentiment, but this is almost certainly neglect.

I made more wrong "start - sit" decisions TODAY than I think I have in any previous SEASON.

So it may appear I "gave up", but I really didn't.

I'm pretty sure that team you refer to Matt might still outscore a few of my teams this week and I even set players that did play but for the most part were invisible...:/
