No Idiots Allowed Fantasy League

They do, Buck. I'm not saying they shouldn't. But you don't get a big fat goose egg if you have Marvin Harrison and he has nine catches for 91 yards. Trust me, guys that score touchdowns have huge days in this other league. Joe Horn was worth 26 (I was playing against him). Tomlinson was worth 39 for his four TD day.

But Joey Galloway was still worth eight, so I got SOMETHING out of him.

 

Knew I could count on you to pick up that hanging curve (although I don't think it is right to refer to you in any sentence contaning a conjugation of the word hung).

 

Shouldn't you be tilting at windmills and JR and Fenian over on the death count thread?
Don't have the lance for it?

 

I completely understand Hokie being in a homicidal rage. I'm almost sure we had ST TD's count for the D last year. Almost positive I won a game that way. We all screwed up if we set up the league this year w/o ST TDs counting for the D. I'll make sure they count again when I'm commish next year.

I'm not a big fan of yardage points. Why should Tony Gonzalez get a point for 15 receiving yards? Isn't it his job to get a lot more than 15 yards? Why should people be rewarded for a point every 10 yards? That's insane. It's just shy of awarding a point to someone for suiting up.

We give one point per 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point per 30 passing yards in the money league I started in college, and I hate it. It got voted in by two-thirds majority so I have no choice, but I hate it. Why the hell should Damon Huard get five points for throwing for 160 yards the other day? He sucked. He doesn't deserve any points for that.

Yeah, it would suck if you had Chad Johnson and you got nothing for his 99 yards. Well, guess what? The name of the game is scoring. He didn't score.

Lastly, the Colston thing is one of the all-time great screw-ups in fantasy football. He played tight end at Hofstra? That's patently impossible. Hofstra ran the run-and-shoot the last 20 years. God bless Big Dog for exploiting the mistake, but whomever ID'd Colston as a tight end should be fired.

 

BYH -- it's a Yahoo-wide thing with Colston. Has nothing to do with BigDog.

 

This conversation is very distressing.

 

Cosmo--I know it's a Yahoo thing, I was complementing Big Dog on snatching up Colston as a TE.

21--why is this convo distressing to you?

 

BYH ... I can't read. Fnord.

 

A few comments ...

1. I am a genius for using a WR as my TE. It is the only thing I have done right this season.

2. All our scoring is default to Yahoo!'s bullshit settings. I humbly recommend that the person who inherits my office next year (sorry about the jizz stains on the walls, wasn't me, I swear) sets us up with a CBS Sportsline fantasy league instead of Yahoo!

3. Again, to make this clear, I am sorry about the jizz stains on the walls of the commissioner's office.

 

If we move the football league to CBS Sportsline, we should move the baseball and the all important hockey league there as well.
Simplicity, babies.

 

Isn't Sportsline a pay service? I use them for a couple money leagues and have few complaints, but I thought all their services were pay.

Big Dog: You've got about 11 weeks to clean that office. Get crackin!!!!
