In the 9 one, I have an email chain and usually rant and rave about the Niner woes, and I've been silent since yesterday. Hopefully no one noticed :/ | ||

Oakland's fans are the most annoying, but it's nice to see a top 3 annoyance as a fan get KTFO. | ||

And to add insult to injury, I would've had priority over him too. Of course you would have, he's the first place team. Leagues that don't have waivers are a joke, imo. Not everyone watches football with a laptop, or next to a PC. I often watch football at a bar. I'd like to know that I still have a shot at players through at LEAST Tuesday. Heck, even if the WW ended Monday at midnight it'd be fine. | ||

How does watching every game and sprinting to your computer the second Gore gets injured to pick up Westbrook require high football IQ? To me, managing your waiver position is part of the skill of fantasy, as opposed to a no waiver league where whoever poopsocks the games/injuries/football news/transfer market gets players. It doesn't take a fucking football genius to figure out that 1st string RB injury=2nd string RB starts, whereas weighing your need for a certain player vs. the damage to your waiver position takes a lot more skill. | ||

I wish my waiver system was better in the money league. It'd be so nice if it was a proper WW. Even if I suggested it, the rules would never change because the league is run by fucktards... which is why I'm leaving after this season. | ||

Are you the one with the league where a QB getting sacked is -points, and the scoring is all kinds of unorthodox? Is it this money league? If so, why even sign up in the first place? | ||

Virtually everyone has a smart phone if you are at a bar, or you are at home, near a computer. Ok, say that you're in a league where everyone pays attention, and there are no waivers. What is the criteria that determines who will get players? It's response time to various data (injury report, benching, trade, whatever) that occurs during the game. So how do you have the best response time to the data? Poopsocking. And I'm sorry if you think that interpreting injuries etc. in terms of player value requires high football IQ, but it really doesn't. In fact, it's basically common fucking sense. In addition, just because you have a smart phone doesn't mean you want to be using it to check football news all fucking Sunday. Football is a social occasion for me, and for many others, and I don't want to spend that time hunched over my phone, playing the role of "that guy" that everyone laughs at/pities etc. I realize this is more on a person by person basis, but I consider that kind of behavior poopsocking too. | ||

Virtually everyone has a smart phone if you are at a bar, or you are at home, near a computer. I don't have a smart phone, and my computer is downstairs while my TV is upstairs. I'm at a distinct disadvantage. There's no reason you should be able to pick players up mid-game. That's bush league man. Or what if my internet goes down for ten minutes during the game or something? Garbage.

If so, why even sign up in the first place? No. Aside from a few bonus points at yardage totals, or for length of TD's, QB's getting 6 points for TD's, and kickers getting +1 for a make, it's pretty standard scoring. There are about three rules that I'd like to change, but no one is willing to make the changes. Imo, remove TE and add a TE/WR slot. There aren't enough good TE's in the league, which forces people to reach really early if they want a good one. I guess that's part of the strategy in drafting though. This isn't so bad, really, I'd just like to see more WR's used. I'd settle for a 2 HB, 3 WR, TE format. Remove the +1 for makes from kickers, or lower the score for the length of each FG by 1 point. It inflates the worth of kickers, which is the most random position in FF. Change our defensive scoring rules. Currently 2 INT = 2 points. That's retarded. Each INT should be 1 point. 2 FR = 2 points, too, and that's stupid as well. I do like that 3 FF = 1 point though. Remove the head coach position. It's just dumb, and serves nearly no purpose. It rarely makes or breaks games, but it's such a stupid position. Change the WW rules to be based on last selection after initially being set by record/score (lowest scoring 0-1 team gets the initial #1 WW slot, and then moves down to 12 if they decide to take a player in week 1, assuming a 12 team league). The commish says he'll change the rules if people want them changed, but won't add polls to vote, and no one votes on the message board. They're a bunch of idiots, imo, so I'm done with this league at the end of the season. It's only $150 to get in, and I've nearly made my money back at this point. | ||

I had to look it up too. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=poopsock Verb: to obsessively and excessively play a game, usually an MMORPG, usually for hours on end and to the exclusion of all other concerns. "Dave's a little too into World of Warcraft. He's been poopsocking for about 12 hours now." I'm not sure if everyone can read this, but I'll post it anyway. Harrison fined 25k for hit on Fitzpatrick. I wonder how much longer they're going to let him hit people helmet-to-helmet before suspending him. | ||
