I play in a 12 team, regular scoring $50.00 a person neighborhood league. One of the owners moved out of the area in the beginning of the season and just put his roster on autopilot. I am not the commish of this league and, like I said, it is a neighborhood league that is two years old, so I didn't think it was worth making a stink about...but this guy let his guys sit though all the bye weeks and, unbeliveably still finished 8 - 4. This is a pretty active league too, I mean there have been times when I wanted to pick up guys like MSW and Forsett and got aced out earlier...it has just been week after week of dumb luck with this guy.
Anyways...he made it to the playoffs and had his customary starters of Turner and FWP playing against a team that featured MJD, Rodgers, Miles Austin, Ryan Grant a pretty strong team, you would think that by starting with two goose eggs, his luck would finally run out (although I don't know if you can call it luck since it seems that he does not care) against a good team. But as FF fate would have it...he ####king won!
He rode the Philly D, Ryan Longwell, and Dallas Clark; who all scored out of their gourds to secure him the win! Now, I must admit...I am pretty happy that he won, as I am playing him this week in the semis, but crap, I have never seen anything like this before. Usually every story you see about somebody quitting is that people are pissed because a team is hand out free wins to a few teams, this is the opposite. I will say though that if I lose to this guy this week I am probably going to commit suicide.
On the bright side, I am pretty sure he has gone far enough where he has made his money back, so nobody will have to shake him down for his fees (the commish, for some unknown reason does not require us to pay at the draft).
