I've been a league commissioner going on 31 years.  For those like me - that meant newspapers, results in the mail, answering machines for lineups and the rest.   After our auction on Tuesday night with CBS - I broke.  This was the second year in a row that the service went down for hours in...

Anyone else seeing this as the opportunity to begin to get some Lewis some game time?  Seattle would not have been that game.    If BB wants to see how if DLew is in football shape, a game that they should expect to run the ball extensively would be the game to do that.  They know what they have...

gronk owner 4-6 Graham owner 6-4 Neither are near the top in points scored Salary Cap, auction league. Auction drafts, especially with good owners, mellow out the effects that OP describes.

There seems to be an impression that "volume" of information (i.e filler, fluff, etc) pulls away from the core analysis that we long time members appreciate. I differ in my opinion. I think as FBG has added more authors to the staff, the variety of opinions is what helps me to consider all...

Seems like most of the current discussion is an either/or Split % discussion. I recall some preseason talk about finding ways to have both these guys on the field at the same time. CJ moving from the backfield and going in motion would give him some of the additional space to make the big...

Agreed - In my auction league, owners tend to overpay for WRs and underpay for TEs. My strategy was to get two of the top TEs and use one in the flex position every week. I ended up overpaying for Gronk (already had Graham as a cheap keeper). I dominate the TE matchup every week and as a flex...

I guess there would not be massive sharks without sufficient guppies.... There is a tremendous amount of discussion in this forum about "I have the 1.10 pick", "Are QBs overvalued in the first round". That discussion can be interesting, but I find it to be very self-serving. There is a...

All good points, but they were all in the context of last year's team. 85 was a non-factor all year and Gronk was hurt for the SB. This made the Pats easier to contain in the final game. Add speed that must be respected on the outside and a healthy gronk to make the Blackburn mismatch favor NE...

:goodposting: I want the last 60 seconds of my life back. You need more help than can be found in this forum

I've been a commish for 21 years. Mostly friends and co-workers in the league. Since the scoring was done on paper. I've seen some instances (not many) of collusion. This is not one. The people complaining should expect the same ability to make good trades as they are refusing to your team...

I'm in the exact same situation (Rodgers, Freeman, Collins). I'm starting Collins as well. Rationale is I beleive Collins has a higher upside than Josh given the matchups this week. I believe I'll need more than Freeman's usual output to win. One more reason for me - my opponent is starting...

Max Hall When Derek Anderson throws his 3rd pick of the game in the 4th Qtr (after the entire game of defense stacked in the box), Max Hall enters and the new Arizona QB of the future is WW fire on Tuesday morning. :pickle:

A really important question is the amount of time that others in the league have been participating in auctions. Experienced auction owners will act differently than those that are new to the auction. If most of the owners are new to the auction, you're more likely to have people that will pay...

I would say that you let Leon stand. First, When you have a conflict in rules - I think you let the more important of the rules stand. If the intent of the rule was that people did not change the player after they have played - you will have enforced that rule. By making him pull Leon - you...

I think now that it's out - it will no longer be effective. If I'm a defensive coordinator, Chad Pennington in the flat is now open game. I don't see this lasting very long. :goodposting:
