You guys are not going to stop are you? lol

On a sidenote, do you have ANY interest in discussing football? If you do, I would be interested in seeing an example of it. If you don't why are you in this thread?

I assume based on your last couple posts the answer is no, no interest in fantasy football discussion. This was a great thread until the "whaaaaa I wanna mock renman, whaaaa" stuff today. I will go back to ignoring again and make efforts to talk about football. Lets see what happens.

-Do people like the idea of point bonuses for reacing 300 yards passing, 100 yards rushing/receiving. I personally do not, but I know many leagues have them.

-Do people like the idea of trying to increase top prize being a main point of importance or are more here interested in fattening up the other prizes from within leagues or other cashing spots in the post season tournament while leaving the top prize the same?

Sound,

Why do you think 3RR should in any way impact roster size? I am not saying I disagree, just wondering what your logic is.

renman -
It IS tough to have only 8 on the bench for a 3 week playoff.

In a sepentine draft, you have to have an equal amount of rounds/players.
The guy that picks first in round one, picks last in the final round. The guy that picks last in the first round, picks first in the final round.
With 3RR, that isn't the case. It can be an odd number of rounds and an odd roster size.
20 per team all year would really deplete the waiver wire. 19 would be OK. The waiver wire would lose basically 2 from each position.
Normally the choice is 18 or 20.
With 3RR, 19 becomes a possibilty.
The guy that picks first in round one, picks last in the final round, etc...

That's all I was thinking.

I have used rosters in UFS ranging from 18-21 over the two decades.

There really isn't any difference as almost all the players wind up being the extra TE's, K and D's to fill those backup/bye spots.

Most everyone has handcuffed the top players or another team has handcuffed you!!

For the entire season, adding more to the current 18 just depletes the FA pool and takes away good, solid strategies.

Adding just for the playoffs.... how do you know in advance which guy on your team is going to get injured and needs to be covered? That's a crapshoot at best.

GLY used humor to make a point within the context of this thread.

You need to accept that everyone has their own style of expressing their views, and quit expecting everyone to only post according to the rules of renman.

According to you, anyone that doesn't post according to the rules of renman is still in HS?
Just love the irony in all that.

[/QUOTE]UFS,

HOW would you add for the playoffs? Do the teams who make the playoffs get to just pick a few players left on their individual leagues free agent wire? Would it be FAAB? Why would dead teams bid for free agents if their season is over? Unless you assume they care a ton about the consolation bowl.

How would you do this?

Everybody makes the playoffs, just the majority of us end up in the wrong one.

If rosters were expanded for the playoffs, it would be done a week or 2 before week 13. Basically another slot would be added to your bench allowing you to pick up a player without dropping one. I, for one am against it. I understand why many want the expansion, but injuries are something you have to deal with and with many players you should have the foresight to get their backups or a reliable one. But I wouldn't cry about it if it was implemented.

BTW, Renman, if you would ignore whomever bothers you by not replying to anything they post, it would eventually stop. Maturity is also knowing when to be the bigger person by "walking away"/not replying. This is a FF MB so obviously many want to talk football, for those you deem as juvenile, let them have their fun and talk with those who are here for FF.

How would you do this? 1) I wouldn't do it.
2) How else would you do it? faab
3) Dead teams don't bid. That's why they are dead.
4) Other teams in the consolation would bid if they felt the need.

That poses another problem. A consolation could block a Championship round team's move. That could be very controversial.

I like the blocked kick idea as that is another game-changing play that ought to be considered for D/ST points.

Disappointed in GLY as having teamed with him in the Chicago DC, he is a true gentleman, but to think only of yourself and not the damage Chris Weinke did to my Carolina D was pretty thoughtless for someone of your high moral stature. :D I'm not sure you could add blocked kicks as a stat. We can all see when a reception is a reception, a TD is a TD, but there would be to much controversy with blocks. Say it's not recorded as an actual block, yet you saw with your own eyes that it was indeed misdirected/blocked by the D. I would imagine a situation like this would lead to Tom and Greg receiving numerous phone calls, e-mails, complaints.

For any basketball fans, earlier this season TJ Ford scored on a layup as he was falling down, video clearly showed he shot the ball and it went through the basket, yet for some reason the scorer didn't credit Ford with the points. I'm not sure it was ever changed, but many things like blocks are to open to criticism. I know they could say the NFL is who they would use for this stat, but if a player can make a shot in the NBA and not get credit for it, I can only imagine what would happen if blocked kicks were implemented.

And TAMU, I'm sorry, I almost forgot about your Cats D.....or should I say, lacktherof. It's funny that we poke fun at Weinke, yet he was a top 10 QB for a week that probably would've helped quite a few teams finish better in the playoffs if they had him in their lineups. I usually try to avoid guys who win the Hesiman trophy when their almost a grandpa! I'm still surprised they kept Weinke as the backup and let LeFors go. I thought he had potential after a pretty good college career. Darn it, why am I talking football when I'm supposed to be mocking someone here. :D
