Last Year was first year in this dyno and unfortunately this league is mostly commish and his friends with a few others that know none of them.
Here is everything that has happened:
1) Year 1 Commish did not collect fees upfront for picks being traded. A team left and league was forced to give 1.13 to incent someone to take over Team. His response was just oops my bad.
2) Commish made exceptions for his friends to pay late in year 2 thus we lost early bird special and $20 out of pot. This was never communicated or agreed to come out of league payouts. Should this be out of commish’ pocket?
3) During off-season before draft commish updates bylaws without telling anyone including a clause that you must cut players to make room for any draft picks you have before the draft. If you do not then you lose any extra draft picks.
4) Commish did Leaguesafe as Commish control of payouts. He was called out to change this but one person paid and he claimed LS told him they couldn’t do anything about it. I believe this is BS and he was just being lazy or worse.
5) Commish said he would enforce future pick payments this year. He said he would send out the bill mid June, he didn’t. Then he pushed it to before the first pre-season game. He has been asked if he did this in and he hasn’t yet responded. Assumption is the answer is again no.
6) Commish didn’t lock players after games played in week 1. Some people picked up players before waivers ran. He was called out for this and the moves were reversed. He was asked to make sure the players locked correctly going forward. Before week 3 this was done again. The commish picked up Fitzpatrick before B.B. waivers ran for free, started him and won as a result of having him in his lineup (otherwise he loses). He was asked on Monday why he picked him up illegally? His initial response was he did not. He then was provided with screenshot evidence that he did. Again response is my bad but not my fault the site had a glitch (yeah right) and he dropped Fitzpatrick. The guy who is his buddy either doesn’t know he lost as a result of this or doesn’t care.
None of his buddies are saying anything and in most of these cases they are defending him saying “hey we have played with him for years and we can trust him”. Maybe so but I don’t know any of these guys.
Those of us that aren’t his friends have been the ones to raise these issues but falling mostly on deaf ears. Are we over-reacting or are the continual mishaps unacceptable behavior as a commissioner?
