Where did you read your info on the suspensions? Yahoo.com is reporting that Artest is suspended for the rest of the year, Jackson for 30 games, O'Neal for 25 and Wallace for 5.

Dressel, explain how suggesting we ALL expand our starting positions by an extra spot or 2 gives any 1 team an advantage over another when there are 14 teams in this league and no one has an advantage considering every single good player is on someone's roster?

The issue was never the addition of a flex position. The issue on that was the timing of it. That should have been discussed prior to the draft, not after. Having another offensive position would have completely changed most peoples draft, so yes, it would have put a few people at a disadvantage who were filling out there starting roster before filling in their bench spots.

That was why I told KBZ that Gates was available, and let's face it, he was throwing plenty of talent my way in that deal.

I saw the players who were in that deal and I'd hardly call the players in return "plenty of talent", especially when Gates is by far the top scoring TE in the league this year. You were getting a third tier DEF, a backup TE and 2 avg. WRs. Hardly a fair deal in my book.

I should have declined the Jones for Portis offer and countered with something more even.

I should say so considering Julius Jones is on the IR and is done for the year. The fact that Jones was even thrown in as part of any trade is a complete joke.

I'll be starting up a fantasy league next season w/ 3 WR spots, a flex position and fantasy point scoring w/ NO decimals.  Basically, a legit league.  Now that's no knock on OCB, but let's be realistic, your scoring system is terrible if it allows any opportunity for something like this to happen.

For what it's worth, had we not been using the decimal scoring, Famine would have still beat you, 30-29 by my calcs.

What's interesting is, this is the 7th week out of 10 that stat changes have taken place later in the week and therefore affected scoring by a point or less for some teams, and not a single word has ever been said by anyone.

Also, this way of doing things seems to be how Yahoo head-to-head leagues work. In the stat corrections section it says underneath the corrections-

"Note:
Player stat changes will only be run for Head-to-Head leagues if they apply to the just completed week.

These corrections were received after final box scores were transmitted and will not be reflected in most box scores, game summaries, etc. In most cases, however, player game logs will be updated to reflect these changes. "

So to me, that says so long as corrections happen before the next games start, they will be applied to just played games. In this case, it happened to affect the outcome of a game. Unfortunate, but not against any rules in this particular league.

HE, I'm not quite sure as to why the extremity of your behavior here. This is a free league that was meant to be played for fun. You are not losing any money here and you are also not losing a chance of winning any money by the outcome of this last game. It's one thing to be competitive, and hey, we all like to win, but it's another to act like a complete child over a meaningless fantasy football league.

It might say that in the box score, but chances are, they didn't go back to revise that part. Click on Hasselbeck to bring up his profile and look as his game by game stats, it shows him with 11 yds rushing for this game.

http://games.espn.go.com/cgi/ffl/players/profile?statsId=4416

And I see why.

During the game, he was sacked by St Louis for a 6 yd loss. They must have (whoever the official scorekeepers are), and for whatever reason, looked at that play after the fact and determined it was not a sack but a rushing attempt by Hasselbeck, because the other stat correction for week 10 was -1 sacks by the StL defense.

Actually, if you look up Hasselbeck at ESPN.com and look at his game log, it shows 11 yds rushing on 2 rushes for week 10 for him.

It shows in the "stat corrections" section that your QB Hasselbeck had an adjustment of -6 yds rushing that was just made today, which looks to be just enough of a pt difference that it actually effected the outcome of your game.

A big thanks to Jeff for supplying me with a set of 7 series 3 Kubricks. Made even nicer by getting to meet him in person while picking them up.

Looking forward to future meetings.  :)

Long overdue feedback for Matt and his helping me out, yet again, with some items to polish off my OTC collection.

Always a pleasure in dealing with Matt, even more so now that I've met him in person.

Thanks bud!!  8)

OK, upon further research, it doesn't look like they are selling a set of 6. Its a pack of 12 but they list it as guaranteeing you a full set of 6 with 2 extra stormies, Vaders and Mauls. I'll probably still go this route.

Well, I didn't check their price for a set of 6 yet, but I'll probably go that route to get the freebie and I could just order an extra 2-pack for you and have it all shipped together to save on shipping.

I checked on these too. They are free if you purchase a set of series 2 from them, or it looks like they are also available for sale. $10.99 each.

I may just order my set from them then to get this for free.

Finally I become the ass whooper instead of the ass whoopie!

Yeah, I just love facing the last place team and then having them score, what I think is, the season high in our league. Who did our scheduling?  >:(

And on another sour note, Pennington is out 2-4 weeks with a hurt shoulder.

So let's see who all has been hurt for me this year:
Pennington
McAllister
J Jones
Branch
Calico
Kinney
Fargas
D. Foster
Wrighster
C.Brown

The injuries just keep piling up for me.  ::)

I currently have just 9 and that might be it for me. I even passed on 2 this past weekend.

Kevin

Ah, yes. Remember that TE I still had playing in tonights game? Well, guess what. 1 catch. 1 TD. Less than a 1 pt win for me.  8)

I don't believe the way we are scoring in this league is considered rotisserie. Our basketball league is a rotisserie style scoring. Completely different that this.

That said, I wouldn't mind addition positions added, as well as a return to the way it was scored last year, or similiar to it. Where you get 1 pt per 10 yds rushing/recieving and 1 pt per 25 yds passing. The way it's scored now puts a little too much emphasis on TDs and almost none on yds gained. When a guy like Bettis can finish a game with 1 TD but only 3 yds rushing and outscores guys who finish with nearly 200 yds rush/rec but no TD, that doesn't seem right.
