bucks 2 months before the draft. I don’t establish rules
in a vacuum and i don' t have the pleasure of charing fines every time one of you gets in trouble with the law.
Everything is worked with all league members based on a voting basis in an effort to make this reflect the majority’s opinion. The week 1 rule has just been a standing rule in the league for several years.

And let’s be clear - I was asked about the transactions policy, after, not during, not before, but after the draft, so not quite sure how that would that affect your draft strategy. Additionally - Hartley came out of a game on Aug
28 with a hip injury, the draft was Aug 30. But since it
was not reported by WNST.net, i guess it wasn't news.

But to level the playing field – you all now have commissioner rights – feel free to modify the league rules as you see fit –you want week 1 transactions – have at it.

Holy sh*t that is funny. When we gather for my pay league, we talk about changes we would like to see. Its usually pretty chill among friends. But that sounds kinda crazy, especially if you gotta deal with that at work.

Can't say I blame him.

Oh I agree but he did give everyone comish abilities so I changed the league name, waiting for the backlash. =)

In the league I run, I have two brothers that are the typical pain in the ass fantasy players. Calling everyone a cheater, vetoing fair trades, complaining about all the rules, making trade offers that are 10x worse than the trades they veto, etc. I definitely see where he's coming from lol.

As a Commish myself I can tell you that it is a thankless job. I pay for all the materials used for the draft, cook, organize and everything. Gathering the players to set a draft date, getting blamed for anyone who is late, people expecting everything to be done in a matter of seconds, and not to mention everyone talking about how someone else could do a better job than you.

My best friend is in the league with me and he calls me to complain about the scoring whenever he loses. One time I had to sit on the phone with him and literally compare NFL stats with ESPN's stats all the while calculating the points with him for him to get mad at me because it didn't work out for him. Needless to say I was EFFING PISSED that day.

But who else can or will do it ?

[sdskinsfan2001]

There has been 1 game played and I am already down two starters. Got screwed by the whole Manning thing, then Colston broke his collarbone. This is my first time playing, beginning to see why I never wanted to play before. Now Kolb is my starting QB.

[SirClintonPortis]

I've got a new team.
Rodgers
Nicks
M. Williams(Tampa)
Garcon
D. McFadden
Steven Jackson
Vernon Davis
Sidney Rice
Jacoby Ford
Sproles
Helu(spite pick)
A. Hernandez
Brandon Pettigrew
Marshawn Lynch
Sebastian Janikowski

Earlier,I mentioned the sucky WRs I have on one of my teams. I started Nelson, he panned out, the other guy is Collie. Do you all think I should stick with Collie over Armstrong, Malcom Floyd and Eddie Royal (note I'm starting Gates which is why I'm staying away from Floyd). BTW FYI the rest of my Starters are, QB Rivers, RBs Foster, Gore, Flex Fred Jackson, Gates, Gano and the Skins.

[nonniey]

Well this is how my superflex draft turned out. Comments? (Starters in bold)

Brees, Drew QB NOS 1.3
Fitzpatrick, Ryan QB BUF 9.3
Grossman, Rex QB WAS 13.3
Jones-Drew, Maurice RB JAX 2.10
Gore, Frank RB SFO 3.3
Mathews, Ryan RB SDC 5.3
Jackson, Fred RB BUF 7.3
Helu, Roy RB WAS 14.10
Jackson, DeSean WR PHI 4.10
Manningham, Mario WR NYG 6.10
Meachem, Robert WR NOS 8.10
Edwards, Braylon WR SFO 10.10
Garcon, Pierre WR IND 11.3
Armstrong, Anthony WR WAS 15.3
Cooley, Chris TE WAS 12.10
Moore, Evan TE CLE 18.10
Rackers, Neil K HOU 17.3
SD Chargers D SDC 16.10

I am regretting not drafting Skins D with my last pick.
Also Armstrong and Gaffney are free agents in most leagues. Who is the better pick up?

Well Gaffney will be the starter and will get more looks and touches. But AA is always capable of pulling down a couple of big ones in one game.

I own Brady & Welker in my warpath league... world domination

Should I drop Johnny knox or Chad Ochocinco or antonio brown or none of them so I could pick up Randall Cobb

I don't necessarily know where Cobb is going to get his catches in that offense, but I think he's got a ton more upside than Ochocinco.

You're going to have to wait out Knox and Brown because neither are starters at this point. But both are better than starters on their rosters. It's going to take some time.

[Mechanix544]

i still think ochocinco will have a 6+ TD year and over 900 yards.
