is this pull off-able? (1 Viewer)

[soymex]

due to a dispute with the man who is commissioner of my group of friends (spread out across the US) fantasy football league (dispute stemming from fantasy basketball season, where he is not the commissioner) i have been banned from this season's fantasy football league.

i still want to play and have discussed with two teams the possibility of becoming a "silent partner". i am not the best fantasy player, but i have finished in the money (second place to the same guy both times) the last two seasons and neither of these guys have won yet.

i have already agreed to team up with one of the guys, but i am thinking perhaps it would be posible for me to work with both teams. it would be a conflict of interest, sure, but in both cases my interest would be in building the strongest team possible to increase my chances of winning the prize. i am thinking with one of the teams i could be more "hands on" and the other i could be more of a "consultant" since that guy has stronger opinions and is pretty hardcore (why does he lose every year? i think he drafts too many backup RBs hoping for injuries...)

in both cases, i would have to be silent or the commissioner would probably kick out the real owners of the teams. but does anyone think this is possible? or am i just a scumbag? for the record, the dispute with the commissioner stems from him welshing on two trades.

It is rare a Shark Pool thread holds this much potential. I hope this one does not disappoint...

i will answer my own thread.

i am going to do it.

i just have to come up with a good lie to one of the team owners about why i can't be around for the draft as i will be at the other guys draft.

Who cares? If you're not welcome, go find another league.What you're doing is bad, bad form. End of thread.

enough said (no, really!)

Fantasy football is no more addictive than jogging or M&Ms.

Remarkably unethical. But if your ok with that... At some point your going to sell out one team to help the other just as sure as Pete Rose bet on baseball. Somehow im not shocked you've already been banned from this league.

ouch ok i guess i'm a jerk.

i didn't really think of myself as the bad guy here.

sorry for starting this thread.

i didn't think this would be such an absurd idea.

i don't think i would have to sell out either team since if both teams got to the finals (which would never happen) i would win either way. it is in my best interest for both teams to do as well as possible.

please keep in mind i wasn't banned for cheating or for doing anything sketchy, merely for arguing with a now vindictive commissioner.

Good decision. I'm very well known around here for my ability to crunch the numbers, and it seems to me that you are in a situation where virtually nothing can go wrong.

 

[soymex]

i am comfortable in my decision.

Attaboy! FWIW, you have my full support (well, your alias does for this fishing trip, at least)

 

[PatsWillWin]

My only question is:

Why stop at two teams?

 

[soymex]

one of the owners, i fear, is just interested in the comedic possibilities of this endeavor as he slowly reveals his silent partner is me over the course of the season. got to make sure i'm not getting used here....

Wow, you can make the two bolded statements minutes apart and see nothing wrong in it?

 

[fridayfrenzy]

I wouldn't want you in my league either.

Sounds like a laugh riot in the making. next week im setting up 3 computers in my office so i can play online poker from 3 positions at once. Gonna be a great gag.

got to make sure i'm not getting used here

Indeed, that's whats important here.

Sometimes I like to play checkers against myself, you would not believe some of the boneheaded moves I make and the bad positions I put myself in because of this.

While we're waiting for your master plan to come off smoothly (& for no friendships to get damaged), why don't you fill us in on the details of your banning?
