I have one superbowl that im in (free league) and another league where we play for weekly money. I have something, not much tho...
That's a good point. I suspect plenty of FF players who seasons will still be checking the site and the forum out throughout the day when the games are going on, if for no other reason than out of habit.
I'm not sure what this means. Did you omit a word/words somewhere? But the fact remains that this poll will be skewed in that it will only be responded to by people who frequent this message board, on the Sunday of the last week of the regular season. A better poll would be conducted during the early part of the season, but even that would not be very accurate, because while FBG is a great place for FF info, it's not an accurate representation of the FF "world."
Is that a fact?
This. Except the league with a Week 17 championship I'm already out.
No, that's my opinion. I believe FBG is a great place for FF info (I never said it was a fact), but in the 3 leagues I played in this year (33 different owners-some guys played in multiple leagues), only 9 used FBG, and almost all are serious FFers.
And in my experience, they do. This kind of statement doesn't bother me as much as ones like "if you're in a week 17 championship game, you league isn't a real league," or "all leagues should end before week 17, if the owners are serious," or "it's the norm to have a week 16 championship game."In your experience, serious leagues/owners don't play in week 17. In my experience, they do. I'm not saying that my way is right & yours is wrong, and (I hope) you're not saying yours is right and mine is wrong.
I don't think the OP is basing his dissertation on the outcome of this poll. I think he is just curious...regardless, he is correct in his assumption that there will be those who check in out of habit...Personally, I have no games on the line and went as far as scouring the injury report before it hit me that "it just doesn't matter" for another 36 weeks.
I know, and that thought sucks. That is one of the reasons I enjoy playing week 17-it gives me another week where I can convince myself it is "necessary" to read the FF message boards, search injury reports, etc.
I fully support your constitutional right to be wrong, Bayhawks.On the bright side, your league can fix it next year.Too many teams rest or limit the snaps of their starters in week 17 for any league to decide a champion this week.
I don't know anyone playing today. Why would you play 16 weeks toward a championship game played on a week when many many top starters are taking the day off? Our leagues reason that if the players aren't playing, neither are we.This link might help set your lineup.
Many starters do not play week 17, any league playing their championship on week 17 is cheapening the fantasy football experience, imo.WE also have a playoff draft and play through the SB. Any league that doesn't do this is cheapening the fantasy football experience, imo.
Well I appreciate your support, but I'm not sure what I'm wrong about.Since players are limited or rested in week 17, thus making it silly to play that week, I'm guessing that your leagues that "do it right" don't play games during the bye weeks, either, correct? Because that wouldn't make sense-to play games in some weeks when all your players aren't available, but not to play games in others?Care to explain that?
So you can't explain it?You said It's silly to play in week 17 when many players might be rested. How is that "apples and oranges" to playing during bye weeks when you KNOW players won't play? If that's your logic for not playing week 17, then that same logic should be applied to not playing during bye weeks. Otherwise, your logic is selectively applied, and therefore, not logical.
You still can't see the forest for the trees there Spock.
And you still haven't answered the question. I'd wonder why that is, except I already know. It's because your reasoning for not playing week 17 should also apply to the bye weeks. Since you can't think of a good answer, you choose to ignore the question by posting little quips like "apples and oranges," and "you can't see the forest for the trees."
