Maybe we can embarass people into playing out the string...I'll start...
In the Primetime Chicago League 3, Peter Schoenke of rotowire.com played his kicker who was on a bye in week 10 and this week he played Dwayne Bowe AND Larry Johnson...considering his flex was Steve Slaton and he had the likes of Austin Collie, Michael Jenkins and Joshua Cribbs on his bench he could've played Slaton at RB instead of LJ and had any 2 of the WR's listed above to play WR instead of Bowe and Flexed the other. He also still has $123 in free agent money if he didn't like his choices on his bench!
I know, he probably didn't know that Dwayne Bowe was suspended!
RotoWire Update Recommendation
KC 11/17/2009
Bowe has been suspended four games for violating the league's performance enhancing drugs policy, Kent Babb of the KC Star reports. This is a very tough break for Bowe...Join Now for Full Analysis!
OOPS!!!
Nope I guess that theory is shot...the "recommendation" above is from His own website!!!
And I looked in the transactions, he actually put LJ in his lineup on 11/22!!!
He probably thought LJ had a good matchup against the Steelers I guess
Oh wait, he actually did know that LJ got suspended and released by the Chiefs and was playing for the Bengals...
RotoWire Update Recommendation
CIN 11/22/2009
Johnson will likely see around eight touches against the Raiders on Sunday, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports. If Cedric Benson doesn't play as ex...Join Now for Full Analysis!
Again, his own website...
So maybe he only tries when he has a chance and maybe some guys think that's ok. I'm not one of them and I won't be going to rotowire.com for anything! Why would anybody ever pay for his advice?!?
It surprises me that a guy who makes his living in this very industry would stop playing, especially since he's probably playing against some of his own customers. Maybe he's embarassed because some "amateurs" are spanking him but come on Peter Schoenke, YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!!!
Well done jerk off.
Pete had a baby boy Saturday night. [/QUOTE]First of all, I'm glad to hear the goods new. I hope everyone is healthy! That IS the most important thing!
Second, I prefer to be called a cynical bastard
From your view Fantasy Factor he is a stand up guy. I'm not saying he's not. From my view(and anyone in this league) this is a guy who didn't make our draft, not sure why, so someone from the NFFC had to sit in his spot and talk to him on the phone the entire draft. Not very ideal. Then he doesn't play a K in week 10 and then he did what I detailed above this past week. So I know stuff happens in life, believe me I do! My son was in the hospital for 12 days earlier this year. Stuff happens!
But thank you for a different view on this and I'm happy for him and his family. Oh and ease up on the name calling please. [/QUOTE]I'll ease up on the name calling.
You took an opportunity to make a grand stand post w/o 100% of the facts that probably left you feeling really good about busting one of best in this industry. As i said, well done my friend
Week 10, he probably missed the NEW Wed deadline.
I bet dozens in all NFFC leagues did.
Week 9, how much did this so called quitter spend in FAAB that week?
I'll also add that I've dealt with this issue for 25 years. 90% of the time, it's a real life problem, NOT QUITTING that is the cause of situations like this. Family emergency or work emergency, they happen to all of us all the time.
