Unfreaking believeable, team playing an undeafeated team starts inactive (Travis Henry) with RB on bench and starts K on BYE. What really sucks he is only 15 points behind....

I proposed a remedy during the off season which gained much support on the MB but was ultimately turned down.

Its dumb to quit this early on especially with the consolation setup in the NFFC.

Dead Money in any league is a double-edged sword.

I think that others within an individual league should be allowed to report a team that is starting a dead player or player on bye and have that player replaced (assuming the bench allows that)prior to the games.

Maybe owners should put up an extra $50 with their entry that is insurance for not starting dead players or bailing on your team. If you play out the season you get your deposit back.. if not, you lose it to the prize fund. Just brainstorming.

The key is to keep an eye out for "repeat" vilolators.

Here is a 4-page thread I initiated on this very subject in June. I suggested some solutions which were met with some enthusiasm but were eventually not implemented. See what you think.
