This will make you feel better about your team. (1 Viewer)


Enjoy.
I want to say nobody would have drafted that team. But if we assume the first round pick was CMC, Jefferson, Tyreek, or Taylor, it’s certainly possible.
 
MoP Jr sent this earlier today, not sure what to make of it
Any team wheeling Zeke out as their RB1 is asking for trouble
Stuck in 2016? Kind of reminds me of anyone stuck in a particular decade with fashion and hair styles. You know, women with 80s hair, guys with porn star mustache, wearing your hat backwards.
 
Imagine scoring 1.23 and winning against them.
I remember in a league that had been around for 20ish years that a team "won" with the worst score ever recorded in our league (for a winning or losing team). It was Week 1, and the starting QB had negative points, a RB got like 2 points, the other RB got hurt, and the rest of the team scored hardly anything. The kicker missed multiple XP and FG attempts (negative points for each kick). I think the team scored 10 or 12 points.

The team "won" because the other owner forgot to submit a starting lineup, and the system was unable to auto submit the previous week's lineup (which was the default). Of course, one team scored the second most points in league history that week . . . and lost to the team that scored the most points in league history (what are the odds?). That owner went ballistic, as he scored almost 200 points more than the team that won by default.

We made a rule the following year that each team had to submit a starting lineup for Week 1 immediately after the draft. But that first week left a lot of unhappy campers.
 
Back in our first year, 2002, not everyone had internet access believe it or not. So I required all teams, including myself, to record their weekly lineup on a fantasy football dedicated answering machine by 10pm on Friday night. Yes, they could make changes later but, the initial lineup had to be called in by Friday night by the time deadline. The penalty for not submitting a lineup on time was an automatic scoring adjustment of -25 points. Seriously, you had all week to call it in. One gentleman scored 16 actual points one week and with the late penalty he finished with a -9 final score that week.

His nickname for quite a few years became Neg-Nine.

Ahhh.......those were the days.........
