In week 1 he didn't open waivers for everyone and placed two uninjured players on IR. Then this week places a Defense on IR. How can a defense be on IR? I am saying to this league after this season. Way too fishy.

This thread is worse than your league.

This thread is worse than your league.

This thread is still more valuable than MoP's trade thread from a couple days ago. At least placing an entire defense/ST on IR is somewhat amusing.

Jevon Kearse was a pretty big part of that DST.

There's more too it, but I'm at work and don't have time to go into everything. But the commish in this league is abusing his powers and if you think a post like that doesn't belong here then

This thread is a perfect exampe of what was brought up in ryoly's thread regarding the degrading of the Shark Pool. Someone makes a post and then you get a handful of "comedic" replies before anything useful relating to the post is ever offered.

Regarding your post, it looks like your commish is trying to use the IR slot as an extra place to move players. This way he can hold more players by not having to drop them. It sure looks like he is cheating and I would call him out on it.

 

[a1ter3go]

OK,

here are a couple of things.

We have a limit of two waiver pick ups per week and a total of 10 per year. The stipulation to the rule is that if you have a guy on the NFL injury report as doubtful or out you can place them (up to 2 players) on IR and pick up another player which will not cost against your 10 total waivers.

Not my league or rules, but lots of guppies and I do win $$$.

So, in week 2 he didn't open waivers and placed Chris Simms and Rod Smith on IR to hold them even though neither were on the injury report.

Then this week he uses his position to bypass our rules again by holding a defensive team he is not sure he wants to drop, as far as I can guess. I haven't had the chance to talk to him yet but he is also avoiding many people in the league as I am not the only one concerned about his actions.

Hope this improves this thread if not, sorry.

OK. Well I am glad I have amused some of you today.The thread is not completely worthless though. I am looking for input from other FBGs so that I can show (people in my league, namely the Commish) that this is a common sentiment among fantasy football players and not just sour grapes.Does that make any more sense?

 

[Velcro]

I think the point of the comedic replies was - What do you want us to do about it? Especially if you've already concluded he's cheating?

 

[a1ter3go]

Wow, one person helped. Awesome. That is why I am mostly a lurker and don't bother posting on here. It's not worth it.

Mods, delete this thread. I don't want to waste any more people's time today. They have important things to do like make fftoday look better and better each day.

 

[a1ter3go]

a couple of things.

if someone were in this situation before, how did you handle it?

Did you get your money back.

Did you just say screw it and not play next year?

Any kind of input would have helped. Are you guys serious that you can't think of anything like that.

I know I'm fighting a losing battle here so this is my last post, but you guys really need to lighten up.

 

[BustedKnuckles]

Sounds like someone needs to commission the commissioner

I agreee with this, and there was nothing wrong with you asking in here. Unfortunately, you sometimes have to wade through a lot of self-righteousness and pomposity in the Shark Pool before you get a reasonable answer to your more than reasonable question. I will get ripped for this, but don't really care...

Why in the world would anyone think this is a reasonable move? You got the joke responses because nobody in their right mind would ever think this was appropriate, and there shouldn't be any need to go to a fantasy football message board to find that out.

 

[BustedKnuckles]

I think the point of the comedic replies was - What do you want us to do about it? Especially if you've already concluded he's cheating?

I think this should be a poll

 

[Doug B]

There's not really much constructive anyone here can do but to agree with you. And A LOT of people hate threads that invite little more than "me too!" and "you're right!" responses.

Yes, it's clear your commish is employing bush-league tactics. Not a whole lot we can do, though.

The endgame is in you and your leaguemates' hands Did anyone in your league at least call the commish out? Was there a response?

Is there anything stopping the rest of the league from using IR the same way?

 

[Raider Z]

I haven't had the chance to talk to him yet but he is also avoiding many people in the league as I am not the only one concerned about his actions.

Does he have a phone? Give him a call. If he doesn't answer, leave a message. CALL HIM OUT and let him know that his actions are questionable and, if he were an Owner, would he like being on the other side of the coin watching this B.S.?

 

[blenderfrog]

If your rules clearly state that only "doubtful" or "out" players can be put on IR, he cheated. I haven't been watching Bruce closely, but I know Reed and the Philly D/ST haven't been doubtful/out.

He's acquired 5 players, so I'd say 5 of his 10 FA acquisitions are spent.

If any player wasn't doubtful/out when he placed them on IR, he should have to release those players/teams. But that will probably take a league vote after the season. Maybe make a stricter IR rule for the rest of the season. Or make a change that all teams can do 3 fake IR moves this season, and the commish has already used his.

 

[Otis]

I hate to be negative, but this could be the worst thread in the history of the world. This includes the threads over at the exotic dancer forum.

I would call your Commissioner out to the League and point out how the IR position is being abused. From the list posted here, he is not going by the Doubtful or Out ranking. Sorry, a Defense can not be IR, only if you were playing IDP.Put it to a league vote...your Commish is cheating big time!

"Position to bypass our rules again"????Wow... The commish more than anyone in your league should be adhering to the rules.Has anyone said anything to him/her/them? I mean,just because your the commish it doesntmean you can run rough shod over everyone and the rules.What exactly is in the league rules if someone puts a healthy player on IR?My current league doesnt do it but in a past league if you put someone on IR and they played Sunday or gameday,they were coming off IR and into the FA pool.Sounds like a grey area and if your league rules aren't specific enoughsomeone always finds a way around them.

 

[ookook]

I think you should present the evidence to your league and ask for a vote on appointing a new commish.

there's not a big time frame between some moves here. You sure he's not just someone that has trouble making up his mind and/or had too much to drink on the 19th? Yeah he put the Iggles on IR but he also took them off IR a few hours later. In those hours, he released players so it wasn't like he did it to gain a roster spot or for his advantage in anyway really. IF he put the Eagles on IR to beat the league to the punch and grab Cotchery, definite BS but he really didn't do anything here. Just look Eagles to Eagles: Eagles on IR, release Bruce(off roster), Glenn on IR(somewhat, off roster...active), Eagles activated from IR.I glanced at a few others and I thought K Reed on IR? oh no wait he released him a few hours later. Bruce on IR? Oh no wait he released him a few hours later.

I would figure he's hitting a wrong button or drunk or somesuch not that he's cheating. If he wound up with Eagles+Falcons+Glenn+Bruce+Norwood+Berrian+Reed and...geesh what is he doubling his roster? But that's not the case.

 

[Dreamer]

They have important things to do like make fftoday look better and better each day.

You think this thread would go differently there?It would. The response would be much worse. They're/we're not as nice there as we are here.Don't start stupid topics if you don't want stupid replies. Of course your commish is cheating. You know that. Another thread that only pertains to you in the Shark Pool is like a big cloud of pee everyone has to swim through. Yes, he's cheating. And we don't really care.

All leagues should have provisions to ousts the commish out of the job. I know all my leagues do. If yours don't, then it may be too late to do anything about your current problem, and my suggestion is to quit that league and join another one. Maybe take as many of the owners from that league with you.

my league did away with IR about 5 years ago b/c owners where using it for an extra roster spot.

[Jobber]

- He's cheating, no doubt.

- I hope you didn't pay your league fee up front.

- You or someone else from your league should beat his ###. If this is a money league, it's like he's taking money out of your wallet while you're not looking. No better way to put it.
