You lose.
Wow - you are a better man than I.My competitiveness would never have let me make that call.
Some of the best action I ever got was after my FIL told my wife how much respect he had for me.
Do you really have to suck up to your father-in-law? Is your relationship that shakey? If it were my father-in-law I wouldn't have told him and would have given him a hard time. Of course he would have done the same to me.
as for the original post? "right/moral" thing? i guess. "smart" thing? no
I am commisioner of a league in which I did a very similar thing last year. I have a great track record in this league, and several of the other owners will openly root against my team because of the success I've enjoyed over the years. Anyways, my opponent one week didn't have a single QB he could start against me (due to injuries and bye week, and our free agent deadline had also passed so he couldn't just pick up a waiver wire QB), so I made him aware of this and even helped him to engineer a trade to acquire one just minutes before gametime. I second-guessed myself too, 
especially since my 'good sportsmanship' cost me the game, and even worse - the team that he traded with was my divisional nemesis all year and he got the better end of this deal. 
This really added insult to injury because I was in a very tight divisional race with said nemesis who was on the other side of the trade (and the division winners in this league get a 'bye' to the 'final four' and are virtually guaranteed to 'finish in the money').Evidently, the fantasy football gods were greatly impressed with this sacrifice because I ended up winning my division (by one game) over my nemesis who benefited most from this trade I had practically brokered. Also, I ended up defeating this nemesis team in our superbowl game. 
Admittedly, if I had lost the division or the superbowl as a result of my generosity I may have felt differently, but hopefully the positive karma of helping your opponent to field a competitive team this week will rub off on you as well.
Yeah...it was assumed you are bragging to your wife about this. The FIL will put a good word in. You can send him a card later.Definetely makes sure the wife and even the MIL find out about this. You should be rewarded greatly.Brewdude said:Pittsburgh United said:Brewdude said:
It's not an honesty issue. It's not your job to keep up with everyone else's lineups in addition to your own.

Karma bro Karma.My oppenet this week forgot to start a defense. I emailed him sat night. He started the Pats D and in our league, got 1 point. I now have karma in the bank and it only cost me 1 point. He was favored by 15 and i will win by 10. Karma? I dont know, maybe any given Sunday. But, it is all karma.And hey, your job doesnt depned on this, your family doesnt and yoru life doesnt. So what does it hurt?You did good.
Your opponent's name was Karma? You shouldn't let girls play, they get too emotional.
I'd would have liked to see Sinrman call all of his opponents a year or two ago when he had 200+ teams. I still don't know how he managed so many...
