Trojans found their new poster boy

Who's that cheeky monkey?

I would hope they are able to supplement their income by winning a few fantasy leagues! ...or competing on daily sites.

Jvdesigns2002 is in two leagues where he is out of playoff contention, and yet took the time to make waiver claims. I get the picture that he thinks this is good sportsmanship, but he would call tanking a game poor sportsmanship. If my team is still in contention for the playoffs, and my...

I think you're missing the point... There are times when certain behavior is unethical...and times when it is fine. Hitting someone in the face isn't very nice. But in a boxing match, it's fine. In one situation it's unethical, in the other is just how the game is played. Lines aren't...

He had 1 target and didn't catch it. Matt Stafford don't stand for that kind of nonsense!

I would like to think that it's because at $5 is a "friendly" game, and at $100 it's a matter of trying to make some extra money. In one case ethics apply, in the other case they don't...or it should be assumed to be that way.

I agree with you there. I'm just trying to point out that getting yourself into a position where you are able to manipulate who your opponent is so that you have a better chance of winning a competition isn't unethical either...people are just saying it is. I really don't see why. If you are...

In that case you might expect both QBs to light it up trying to send that pick to the opposing QBs team!

Sure, and setting your lineup is as much a part of fantasy football as drafting your team. I don't see your point. You are trying to claim that "lying" about the strength of your hand is perfectly fine, but throwing a game to better your chances of winning your league is unethical?

It would be interesting if the DST you selected would reduce your opponent's total score by the same percentage of fantasy points they scored that week. I.E. score 23 fantasy points, your opponent goes from 100 points to 77... That percentage would obviously have to be tweeked because DSTs...

H2H just makes no sense to me in Fantasy Football. If your players literally played against my players it would be fine. But they don't. Using H2H as a tiebreaker is using how your roster did in week 2 (or whenever our h2h matchup was) vs. how my roster did in week 2...but our rosters might...

I would disagree simply because the guy who drafted better (didn't take Richardson) and managed his roster well enough to be 10-3 has earned the right to manipulate the seeding by managing a superior team. If the fellow who rattled off 6 in a row to finish 7-6 had only won 2 or 3 games earlier...

That is what distinguishes leagues that have divisions from leagues that don't. What other reason would there be for having divisions?

I'd say it's good strategy on your part. The fact that you are in a position to manipulate which team you will face in the playoffs is due to your prowess as a FFB manager. I assume you are playing for money, so I see nothing wrong with it. If you are superstitious, I'd be a little worried...
