Ok, i'm late to this thread. Not reading 5 pages so hope this hasn't been posted. Anyways this poll is flawed. Obviously, there was a use to hoarding players they have no use for. To mess with the OP so he'd feel compelled to register on a FF message board to whine about it. Now there are 11 of his buddies watching this thread and laughing their collective rear ends off. Can we pin this? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :thumbup:
First Ballot HOF!
 
While I'm fully behind the O/P getting reamed for this, I have yet to see anyone give him the advice he really needs:

Why don't you pick up Mike Vick or Pat White, a QB in name that is going to get snaps at another position. Never know, you might swing a TD out of it. There has to be someone available that is likely to see the field.

EDIT TO ADD: subtle reminder to the other 11 teams in his league that are reading this thread laughing their ### off

If he'd give us a list of available QBs (all two of them), we could help him make a decision. Of course, then this would turn into an Assistant Coach Forum post and it would get moved. That wouldn't be in any of our interests at this point.

At this point I think I'd rather pollute the league with bush easy wins for a few teams over the next couple weeks. I guess I find that funny, like they find it funny to leave me with out a QB.
 
12 team league, $200 buy in, league has been around for maybe 8 years, all of us are friends.

We have huge rosters, due to using IDPs, and no limit at any position, half the time I keep an empty roster spot. Every week for as long as I've been in the league there are 6-8 free agent QBs on the waiver wire. With Brady's bye approaching I was content starting one of those guys, or possibly making a trade for someone's 3rd stringer. Well, last weekend, over a week before Brady's bye, 3 teams (including 1 team I play this week, and the commish) went ahead and picked up 7 or 8 of the free agent QBs, in an obvious attempt to prevent me from having a legitimate starter.

In the years I've been in the league there have been a couple opportunities to hoard, and it's probably crossed peoples minds, but it takes a low person to actually go and do it. I can say with certainty I would never do it; I mean if you were playing against someone who didn't care enough to replace players on a bye, it wouldn't be any fun. So, why would actively preventing him from replacing those players be considered good strategy?

At this point there are maybe 2 free agent Qbs available, and I could still trade for one, but I've really lost interest in the league. For a league of friends to stoop so low is embarassing. :lmao:

Comparable to: Knowing your mom has to use the bathroom, running to it 1st and locking the door. When she knocks and asks you to hurry you respond, "Mom, you should have planned ahead," and continue taking your time while reading thru the latest Maxim magazine.

Is Jamarcus that bad?
 
I'm in this league & one of the hoarders. Home, just because you donate $$ to me every year does not make me your friend. To stoop to the level of whining about this on a fantasy football board to total strangers is amazing. You take this fantasy football too seriously.Thanks for the easy $$$ sucker.
YEAH!!! :mellow:
 
Yes, am I supposed to be scared of being in the minority when compared to a bunch of fantasy nerds?
:mellow: <-- fantasy nerd :lmao: <-- you
Not to mention...when you reach a certain age/stage in life, popularity and nerd designations really cease to matter since more important things like family/friends/job/financial security take precedence over 'coolness'.
Picking up a whole bunch of QBs in a fantasy football league is immature, childish, and bush league. But calling other people "nerds" is distinguished and dignified.

Your refusal to provide specific details (i.e. which QBs were picked up, who was dropped to pick up these 7-8 starting QBs, who is so valuable on your roster that you could not drop them to pick up a backup QB much earlier than Brady's bye week,etc.) has me convinced that this has all been one big :wall: trip. Oh well. Give yourself a pat on the back, you caught a lot of fish.

My first post did actually say to pick one of the dregs left and take your lumps.A second option is to shop Brady VERY openly. Brady doesn't have the easiest schedule coming up but should still command a great value. If he only had 1 QB and there is typically reasonable options on the WW that says to me that QBs are less valuable than those in a league that get 6pts for a passing TD.He said 3 teams did the adds and that one of them plays him. Here is the deal. 1) Pick up a warm body to start at QB ASAP.1A) Get over that it happened2) Post on the league message board that Brady is available for the right offer but that you can work with what you have3) Approach teams 2 and 3 and convince them that team 1 getting an easy win is no good for them4) Share the offers you get with other teams to get them keep upping their offers5) Before clicking Accept on any offer make sure their bye week isn't next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (extra apostrophes for emphasis)Brady is NOT a guaranteed championship. If he is take just your loss this week and laugh all the way to the bank. I am thinking of trading him in leagues where I do have a viable QB this week. I probably won't because I am near the top in scoring anyway but I AM thinking of it.
 
Home Alone could certainly go pick up an Alex Smith or something and survive the week, but that doesn't resolve the bigger problem. He doesn't really have any friends, just a group of guys who take advantage of him every year in their fantasy league. He's resigned to staying Home Alone and sneaking past Mom to the bathroom to get first dibs on the new Maxim.

Come on, admit it, its not about the QB, you're butt hurt your own friends would do you over like that. :wall:Not only should you quit the league, you should quit playing fantasy football all together.

Is he fighting his Uncle Rico for can time as well?
 
If you spent a fraction of the time you have spent making this post and continually replying to roster a 2nd QB for injury concerns or matchup plays like any decent fantasy manager (specially one paying $200 bucks and bragging about having a free roster spot) would do then you wouldn't be here crying. Your friends aren't nice but they're competitive and competition can bring out different sides from people. You continue to state in past years this hasn't happen but as any "game", things change year to year.

For the record your solution should be to pick up Alex Smith and try and win anyways, it should even be more rewarding to you if you pull through. You seem determined to make this about your friends and not about fantasy football yet you posted in a die hard fantasy football forum and not some "how to find good friends" forum.

Good luck rest of season as a $200 league is somewhat serious business and winning makes for some good xmas shopping.

Wow, you're quick. I think I've been saying for the last ...5 pages that it's about friends stooping so low. There are QBs available but that doesn't mean I forgot about what they were trying to pull. The same tactics could have been used by anyone in our league over the years but no one has been lame enough to try. As for the nerd comment, people on here call themselves "fantasy dorks" or "fantasy nerds" all the time.
 
HOME ...

this is by far the dumbest post i have ever read ...

you are seriously crying over a strategy that you werent smart enough to see coming a mile away .... instead of getting a backup .. you felt better to have a " free roster spot " as you said in your original post

there is not rule about # of players at a position teams can roster .. you knew this .. all of you play by the same rule .. what one owner does you can do ...

to be crying over your own oversight is laughable

the fact you came to a fantasy message board looking for some " reassurance " is laughable ..

you are most likely the joke of the office ... LOL ..

As I said, our rosters/benches are so big that flukey IDPs or #4 WRs were probably dropped, very little value...nothing that would enter my starting lineup anytime soon, and nothing that was in theirs.
How big are they that you forgot to draft a 2nd QB? :)
I drafted one, Delhomme, he may even be one of the 2 or whatever that is available, but the point is that the attempt by my friends was still made. Who gets satisfaction from that? Are those 3 going to like it if I don't make bye week subs during weeks 9 and 10 too? If they enjoy easy wins so much maybe they'll get even more entertainment out of a few more teams getting easy Ws in the coming weeks.
You :mellow: have :lmao: deep :lmao: rosters :lmao: and :lmao: you :lmao: roster :lmao: one :lmao: QB :lmao: and :lmao: it's :lmao: DELHOMME!?!?!?!?There are (sorry, WERE) 7 or 8 QBs on the waiver wire, you have an open roster slot, and you don't pick up another QB when it's obvious to your grandmother who wouldn't know a football if it came up and bit her on the buttcheeks that your one QB sucks out loud with headers and glass packs?And then you complain?Gotta be fishing.

What's low about out-thinking you? Did you think the waiver wire was your personal roster? Shouldn't you be angry at yourself for not planning ahead or making assumptions? I really hope this is schtick, because if it isn't your friends should have you replaced by Friday afternoon. I'm not sure this hobby is for you.

Just finished reading this entire thread. Not because of its insightful content, but because its been a long time since Ive seen a Shark Pool beat down like this. Anyway while reading it I was reminded of an old fable that my grandfather shared with me a few years before we lost him. I'll pass it along for the OP and hope he remembers it as long as I have.

Once upon a time, there was a little mouse who was outside, freezing in the middle of a horrible snow storm. He finally came acrossed a barn that he was able to sneak into.

Inside the barn, he fealt safe, but was still very, very cold until a horse walked over and s@#t on him. This angered the mouse at first and he screamed and cussed at the horse for making such an awful and smelly mess on him until he began to realise that the horse dung was warm, so warm that he fell fast asleep.

When the mouse woke up, he was cold again and wanted to find new shelter. The problem was that he couldnt move. The warm mess from the horse had hardened around him and he was stuck. He began cussing and sreaming all over again until a cat heard him and came over and licked the mouse clean of the mess and freed him. The mouse thanked the cat over and over until finally the cat ate the mouse.

The moral to the story is simple.

Just because somebody s@#t's on you, doesnt necessarily make them your enemy....and

Just because somebody helps you out of s@#t, doesnt necessarily make them your friend....and

When you are up to your neck in s@#t, keep your big friggin mouth shut.

Not to pick a nit, but one of the reasons I am employed is due to my ability to realize that afternoon is a compound word as opposed to an adjective followed by a noun.To the initial question, my observations of your behavior in the league this year are that you don't seem to be approaching it with the same gusto as you have in years past. Perhaps it is time to quit.

Am I understanding correctly that you have huge rosters, you usually keep one roster spot open, and you don't have a back-up QB on your roster? Sorry, this is on you.The only reason I can figure that you didn't hold another QB is because you were more concerned with hoarding RBs and WRs. How is that any different?
I wouldn't say I'm hoarding at any 1 particular position. I didn't pick a QB up because in the 4 years I've been in the league there are ALWAYS 6-8 available. Sorry I didn't plan for such ##### baggery.
So what you're saying is you have deep rosters, an open spot on the roster and no backup qb? :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :loco:
You are correct. That is what he said. :lmao:
This is pretty cut & dry. You neglected the position... obviously to have an edge at other positions and your league mates decided to make you pay for the strategy. If they conspired... sure that sucks but you asked for it.Like it or not.. you asked for it. You said it with your eyes..Sincerely,Troy Polamulu

this guy is just fishing.

lets put the math into it

32 QBs

-6 on bye

----

26 available

-23 most teams will roster 2 QBs other than numbnuts in a 12 team league (some 3)

----

3 available to be picked up

so i doubt that 9-10 QBs were still available on the WW

(the 7-8 picked up LAST WEEK + the 2 remaining options)

take into consideration that last week 6 QBs were on bye when these transactions took place and that there are at least 5 other teams that have a QB on bye this week (who may have thought a week ahead to pick up their future QB depth)

also the OP posted that he hasnt visited the site, he just has read the email notifications that show transactions. this shows that he really doesnt know the QB situations of the other teams in his league.

opinion

he is uninformed and not a very active owner who has drawn conclusions and exaggerated upon them without any real knowledge of the whole situation in a large money league that he hasnt visited the site by his own admission to even view the WW options available

I didn't read the thread because I want to give my untainted opinion, so forgive me if some of this is covered.

First of all, it isn't collusion.

Secondly, you sound a little bitter even in the way you phrased the second option.

It is your job to make sure you can field a team.

I will add that I don't play in IDP leagues, so I don't know the best way to handle this... roster limits per position or maybe a limit for offensive and defensive players to keep teams honest? But if they are acting within the rules suck it up and learn from it.

I am sorry that I responded to this thread seriously after reading the thread. I would like to say that, much like he does to his league mates, home alone underestimates us. I am NOT a fantasy nerd. I am an actual IT working, unix adminning, monty python watching ACTUAL nerd. And I take offense at his comment!edit: And I only need about 37 seconds with a maxim... maybe 40.

Hey Home Dude,Throwing games to #### up the league will sure show them who is boss. I bet they'll be sorry they ever messed with you, and will probably beg forgiveness and of course, they will definitely want to play with you again next year.OR, you could take the high road like I suggested before. Let it go. It's really your only option if you want anyone's respect.The Bucs just named Freeman as their starter. Go snatch him up before someone else in your league does.And tomorrow the Titans will probably announce Vince Young as their starter.Or you could roll with Seneca Wallace, since Dallas will probably take out Hasselbeck.
 
annoying tactic but legit none-the-less ... You probably should have been a little more proactive in dealing with your byes a few weeks ago ... take this as a lesson learned and if you lose a week you lose a week.

 
Friends or not, when that kind of money is on the line, tactics like that, while maybe a tad underhanded, are pretty much accepted. You should have planned better. It is always better to have someone sitting on my bench rather than your starting lineup. Not saying I would do what they did (I wouldn't in at least one of the leagues I am in), but you can't be surprised when others do it, considering how much money is on the line.

Your skillz in analogy must rival your foresight. You are the sucker here, and that's not colluding, it's frankly hilarious. Quit being such a whiny little ####. You are the one who had to stash a player over that backup qb.Now take your medicine and trade for a qb. Target your opponent this weeks division mates, as they clearly won't want you to lose to him.

 
You made a mistake. What is different about this and the NFL when the Chargers grabbed Michael Bennett even thought hey didn't need him, just to prevent another team from gettting him. (Broncos I think).You should have planned ahead.The collusion part is a little suspicious though. Now if one did it and then another said, good idea, that's one thing but if they got together and planned it, they are sissys.
So, fantasy football leagues with friends are suddenly comparable to the NFL where billions of dollars are at stake? :confused: Is your next response going to be "What would Bill bill Belichick do?"
Odds are that 1000 dollars or so matters to you about as much as the millions of dollars matter to jerry jones.
 
Op, if you know for a fact that 3 owners conspired against you, then i would call them out. If they admit to this, then I would quit the league and not pay. I actually would quit the league and not pay. If they have a problem with this, then tell them to drop the players in question.

OP, if you want to have a "friendly" league with friends, don't play for $200. Otherwise, you snooze you lose pal. You also fail miserably at analogies and defending your position.

P.S. I made this post at work and got paid for the minute it took to type it out. LOLZ
I actually plucked my analogies and defenses from this thread: http://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index...p;#entry9271827 Some of the other responses that I agreed with:"I can think of a reason why I would not do it. It's because I'm not a complete jackoff loser who would do this to my friend."

-----

"It's a total Bush-league move.

Add a transaction fee to stop this and various other kinds of transaction silliness."

-----

"If you were playing against someone who didn't care enough to replace players on a bye, it wouldn't be any fun. Why would actively preventing him from replacing those players be considered good strategy?"

-----

"It's a childish & an ####### thing to do.

Thankfully, no one in my league does that ####."

** waits for the responses that tell me churning isn't hoarding... :confused: **
churning is totally different from this. And in no way is this "collusion" as it's no "secret agreement". They have publicly and openly (perhaps collectively, but not collusively) exploited a weakness in your decision to roster a non qb instead of rostering a backup.

I'm in this league & one of the hoarders. Home, just because you donate $$ to me every year does not make me your friend. To stoop to the level of whining about this on a fantasy football board to total strangers is amazing. You take this fantasy football too seriously.Thanks for the easy $$$ sucker.

So, what you are saying is that you are ill prepared for battle due to your own lack of foresight? I'm sure all positions (but kicker) are hoarded. Which position were you hoarding instead of picking up a QB?
In every league I have ever been in, there is a certain amount of hoarding of skill players. specifically QB and RB. (most notably QB as there are only so many starters to go around)I have 3 QB's on my roster in one league. Farve, Manning and Rodgers. I probably only need 2, but I Really dont wanna drop Farve and find that someone can use him to beat me one week.so I keep him. If I get a good trade offer, then I may unload him... but I'm not planning to unload him anytime soon.while I do find it to be strange that 3 guys pickup over 5 or 6 QB's on waivers in one week, it's not unheard of. If they are really doing this to screw you, then you can look at it two ways:1) this is not a fair league and I"m gonna quit.2) My team is so good these guys feel they have to cheat to beat me.I prefer to go with #2. I'd brag about it on the boards and make these guys feel like heels.otherwise, I'd do nothing else.whining just makes you look bad. at least the other way you come off as a bit arrogant, but you dont look like a whiner.just my two cents worth.
 
If I'm your opponent the week of Brady's bye, you have no backup QB and I have roster space you're damn right I'm grabbing every viable qb I can off waivers.

I still think this guy is probably fishing as 1. No one can be stupid enough to not roster a solid backup in a competitive $$ league with big rosters and 2. He refuses to post the site or answer the ? of who's available/rosters etc.

But the comments about Mom's bathroom and the constant whining/booshdaggery make me think there is a real chance this guy is legit. Tough call at this point :thumbup:
