Maybe the advise he's giving is "Fill out your lineup"?
I think you are lucky that you are playing someone that would listen to advice from this clown. Doesn't sound like his knowledge is any threat.
What he said. Get some thicker skin, dude. Or, you could call him up and say he's a "meanie" then quickly hang up the phone.
Caller ID killed this shark move years ago.
As others have said here, what is wrong with an owner seeking advice from other owners?
So you gave Mr. Helper an unsolicited scolding, adding a "You deserved to lose!" twist of the knife last week and are now wondering why he's advising another owner you are playing against this week?Interesting......
That's not bush league at all.
If someone needs to be told that...they suck.
Yeah, I don't get it. Sounds like you're over-reacting.
Fe + EJust seems a bit strange that you are posting this on a site whose purpose is to give advice to fantasy managers.
Wow, I was expecting he told someone with a better waiver priority to pick up Blount or something. Seriously, take Floyd out of your lineup? Owners in my leagues routinely share injury information.
Shouldn't this be the commissioner's job? I know in our league, he pretty much handles the owners that don't make lineup substitutions. Owners who can't put in the time to fill out a legal lineup have no place in our league. Never have had an issue with giving advice.
I would not even worry about an owner that plays a player on bye.
I think it's silly to worry about a guy giving your opponent "help" when he wasn't even smart enough to submit a proper line-up on his own.
So let me get this straight. You face one guy last week, who doesn't fill in a bye week swap.You win that game and proceed to gloat about how stupid that owner is, to his face.Then you're shocked when that guy tells your current opponent about a pretty obvious zero waiting in his starting lineup. No huge insight in his fantasy advice, just "hey just a heads up, don't play that guy because the D next to his name means he's almost certainly not playing".And now you're whining about it because you think it's bush league for your opponent to hate you after you treated him like a dog that just crapped on the floor? Hell, maybe the last guy just wants to make sure that the guy this week doesn't have to deal with your attitude at the end of the week.Anyway, don't you find it a bit more fulfilling to beat a guy who has a full lineup rather than winning because you face idiots at the right time?Here's my theory. Either you can be a #### to people or you can be thin-skinned when they're being ##### to you. You can't be both.
Apparently, you can.
Thank you for posting this question.. the responses (Transformer night especially) have been hilariuos.My take (not piling on ripping on you--being serious). If the owner who forgot to update his lineup and get guys out of there is giving advice to your opponent to get Floyd out of his lineup becuase he for sure is out... doesn't that imply that your scolding last week sunk in and he's trying to be nice and help your current opponent avoid your wrath for having Floyd in there. I know in the league I'm in there's a group of guys who discuss lineups and this facilitates more trades among their group. They don't collude or exclude other owners.. but because they talk more they're more likely to talk about wanting to get rid of a guy and who they'd like to get for him--so there are more frequent trades among their group. Big deal.You should feel good that your message hit home with this guy and he's reformed his ways... now you can ask your mom to call his mom to set up another play date.
lets not overreact worse than the OP. nothing is more important than transformer night. maybe the OP will transform into a guy with a pairdomvin said:

For awhile that was me, I'd be on chat during classes and spent too much time in a couple leagues, it was fun though and it led to lots of trades. the best way to get trades done is to talk to others especially if while they're filling out their lineup they're choosing between an injured player and a scrub when you have depth there.
