I want to raise a few concerns about the league.
First, no team that started a player that is on his bye week should be named the team of the week. I have no respect for teams that do not put enough effort in to even find a replacement for a player on their bye week. Inches should have easily been able to find at least 2 replacements WRs in waivers as WR is the easiest position to find replacements for. There are 32 NFL teams and each team starts at least 2 WRs. Plus most teams have #3 WRs that are capable of putting up big numbers. That equates to 96 WR that could put up points. I'm sure that the ones that were not on bye would have a greater chance to put up more points than Holt (i.e 0 points). Thus Inches does not deserve Team of the Weak consideration irrespective of the fact that they put up the most points. Not trying to make enemies, and congradulations for putting up the most points - but poor management should not be rewarded.
Second, I question your ethics commish and I question the waiver system when you process the waiver at 12:43 am eastern and then pickup Lamont Jordon at 5:54 am eastern. Between 9.43 pacific time and 2:54 pacific time, I was sleeping and I presume most others were sleeping. I suggest a time more closer to Wednesday morning so that most everyone is at least semi-awake and available to make add/drops subsequent to waivers being processed.
Third, I have noticed a great surge in the Slaves add/drops being posted by SBK (aka Gerald) which leads me to believe that SBK is favouring Slaves given the Slaves success this year. Last week I lost out on a player that I targetted that was picked up the Slaves through Gerald's post and this lead me to believe that Gerald may be helping Slaves. While the concept of complete independance is this matter cannot be fathomed, the perception of independance can greatly be enhanced if the Slaves were to post their own add/drops. I have posted the Chicken's add/drops and the Chicken has posted my add/drops, but these instances were only in unique circumstances (e.g. the Chicken's Eurotrip). Thus if Gerald was to post Slaves add/drops, it should only be in similar unique circumstances.
I would like to hear other peoples comments on these issues. I am always open to disagreement so long its is constructive critisism and not disagreement tailored to taking cheapshots at me personally.
Cheers
Pimp

I agree that we should have a "lay over period" for pick ups. It does seem all the really promising drops end up in the commishes lap.

All the drops end up in my lap? Whatever you guys want to do, i don't care. I'll take the Jordan pickup off and i'll make sure not to add anybody that has been dropped off waivers. We don't have a time set for people picking up players that has been dropped, but now after 5 years i guess we'll make up a time so that i'm not "cheating".
Also the team of the week thing.....is it really that big of a deal? You don't get any prizes for it. That was pretty good scoring that many points even without a starting wr. But what do i know? I'll have everybody vote on it for now on.
And third....me picking up players for Sarah. Well me and Sarah live together, and a lot of times i'll be on the computer and she'll tell me she wants to pick up somebody. So a lot of times i'll just log on and do it for her. I didn't think it was that big of a deal. I'm not favoring anybody, how could i? Oh yeah...because i have no ethics and i cheat. If anything she's doing good because of Brown, Plaxico and Gonzalez. She does her own research and everything else for her team.
Fourth....There are going to be changes this offseason to the league. Thanks and goodnight.

All I am saying is that maybe there can be no adds until Thursday morning or something. Not really blaming anyone for cheating. I think the rest of Pimps banter was just that banter. I only agree there should be a hold period until any pickups can be made.

Thus if Gerald was to post Slaves add/drops, it should only be in similar unique circumstances. You knew I couldn't avoid NOT posting about this whine session so here goes--oh and no cheap shots at "you personally" Niven~ First--Congrats 4 incher! Congrats on your win, receiving player of the week and on pissing Niven off becuz you got it and he didnt! Niven...you bitching about 4 incher getting POW is stupid considering YOU are not the Commish of this league...You've been in the league for what a year or two (can't remember but I know it's been too long for me) and now you think you have an opinion of how GERALD's league should be run? Get your own league then you can set rules however you want.... Secondly...for ONCE i agree with you about the waiver thing..There should be some sort of time that people are allowed to pick players up...However, that will cause problems as well...Remember the draft? Everyone was supposed to be in a chat room on a specific day for the draft...Then people couldn't make it...Then Gerald changed it to something else--again people couldn't do it...Then it started in the message board--what happened there? People bitched non stop about time limits and bullshit...What makes you happy may not make others happy and I reward Gerald everyday about how he's stuck this league out with the trials and tribulations of everyone on here.... Also---How DARE you accuse Gerald and myself of cheating? Considering that YOU are the one that traded me most of my players that are winning for my team this year...You don't have an ounce of class left in ya to be accusing me of anything...Also I looked over the Adds and Drops threads since the start of the season and there is not any "great surge" that you're talking about..Gerald actually is posting less if anything...If you look at the times that Gerald posts drops for me..You'll see that it's either really early in the am--(Gerald gets up @3am MST to go to work--I dont get outta bed until at least 9am MST)---or its in the afternoon (I go to school in the afternoon till late evening)..We have been known to send text messages to each other letting each other know who's been dropped on the board and asking if me or him wanted him...Didnt think that was illegal or cheating..But guess Commish Niven thinks so...We all know what I think about your opinion on anything...so I'll just leave this one alone..I can't believe I explained myself to you..Of all people Lastly....I'd like to point out that I am very proud of my team...You all can think I cheated my way to the top or you can be proud of me that through five years this league has been around and my team had only made the Toliet Bowls and now has a shot at the playoffs.... Also--I 2nd Preston's motion that if you don't like it..Then leave..Don't feel like you're keeping this league together or that if you leave then the league will fall apart...We've had at least one owner leave every year for some reason or another and we've come through it...There is always SOMEONE that wants to play FF in this league or another....If I had my choice I know of two people right now that I would send involuntary resignation letters to---cuz they don't need to be in this league... Anyways~~In any other matter...We're on to Week 10...7 weeks left to go in the season...before the playoffs...Good luck everyone...and for once I actually DO mean EVERYONE!

1) niven--no worries on making enemies here. I recognize your point about giving team of the week to an owner that does not care--but in my defense I thought that STL had a game this past week. In any event, I managed to squek out a win without Holt--a win is a win and team of the week should be based on objective criteria--total points scored not subjective selection. Not a big deal--I will give away the honor to the first runner-up.
2. I don't question anyone's ethics, but do think you raise a valid point. Let's put it to league vote for 2008 how we want waived players to be processed moving forward.
3. not touching #3.
I think a lot of these issues would have been addressed when we moved to the different website where we submitted claims/add drops etc but the message board is just so much fun.

wow i dont think i should chime in but since i was at one time considered the biggest mouth here, i dont want to lose my title....i agree with niven that INCOMPETENCE should not be rewarded..ie - if u start a player on BYE..you are incompetent or dont care. I also dont give a flying fcuk about POW. I just want to win my division and win the superbowl.
Gerald has never been unethical from the time i started this league (from day one thank you very much). I remember last year the jerry porter trade pissed me off but i cant recall if it was for a valid reason.
As for add/drops. I believe you bring up a valid point, but i dont give a shit about add drops to care. My strength is drafting and building up my keepers.
Did anyone notice that the CHICKENS are freaking awesome on paper this year!! i dont win POWs, but i plan on winning this league..AGAIN.
CHICKEN!!

Not to burst your bubble chicken but your team stinks as much as mine. Your team only looks good on paper look at your points for and points against.....that being said I am just bitter because my points against is insane and points for is very simialr to yours.....
