Calling out the quitters ...

Post 'em here.

Steve Sax, "Team Sax", left 3 players on bye week in his lineup against the top team in the league this week. Could have won easiy with a lot of high scorers on his bench.

You suck, just like the LA Dodger's Steve Sax did.

Sound like a clone from my league...I agree with a ban.

With a few of these guys in some leagues and none in others, chalk up a few more percentage points for the luck factor.

This is why I liked the "play every team every week" way because then it has the same effect on every team if someone quits. Everyone gets a chance to win or lose vs them. Also it is nice to be down 6 games going into the final week and still have a shot to win best record.

The other thing is that quitters don't give a damn about being called out, either. If it did bother them, they wouldn't be quitters in the first place. I'm dead last in my Classic League, but I'm bidding on Free Agents and setting my best possible lineup every week.

I would also be cautious about calling people quitters unless they abandon their teams for weeks. It's possible he (or she) had a family emergency and couldn't get to his lineup.

Bottom line is that we just need to score enough points on our own team that all the other stuff won't matter...
