Are You Ready for Some Football - Week 5

[walruskkkch]

29 points. I think my best individual performance to date. The ship is righted. Of course, now I have to wait another frickin' hour to make sure of the win. :

I know how you feel... I had an eight point lead after the evening ended... but they hadn't added in the points for tackles yet... and since he didn't have anybody playing last night, I should have won by a decent margin... but who knows with sandbox... have to wait for the final results... sigh...

The sad thing is, Chris... I don't see the Bucs getting respect even if we do get to the Holy Grail and win it...

[Ming]

They would probably get as little respect as New England did last year. Up until they started winning some games this year, they still didn't get any respect.
After their early victories, they got some respect.
But with the loss to Miami, they lost a bunch. Go figure

The pay scheme hurt me two weeks ago. I only found out that Cleland wasn't going to be active for the Pats game during the morning shows. If I had access I would have switched him out. Wouldn't have mattered given the final score but it makes me mad to think what would have happened if the score was close. No more Sandbox for future leagues!

[Ming]

I have to agree... I ran into a similar situation this week... a day to day player didn't play. I found out right before game time. I don't really mind the prime time rule... but they really should allow changes starting an hour before the first game to be fair. Other changes I can always make during non prime time, but final decision on injured players don't occur to right before noon.

[walruskkkch]

Those last minute coaches decisions, late injury updates. You can get screwed badly. Obviously there should be a free period for at lest two hours before the final rosters can be set.

Yes, but the difference is you can laugh in their faces because winning is ALL that matters in football.

Told ya walrus, I benched the wrong guys.

I also got burned by the pay thing, Seau sat out the game, I missed points from a replacement.

[walruskkkch]

Probably wouldn't have made a difference, but it would be nice if you could field a full team.

[Ming]

Man... I've been hitting the waiver wire, and it takes like 10 attempts per change to make it work... at least I finally got the players I wanted... it took forever. 45 minutes to pick up 4 players... UNBELIEVABLE!

[walruskkkch]

I wonder if the people what pay get better service?

[Ming]

They better... And I think they are doing it on purpose to get us to sign up... NEVER!

[walruskkkch]

I suppose since no one paid before then whoever they can retain for future leagues that are willing to pay will mean somekind of profit even if they lose a large percentage of people fed up with the nonsense that is going on now.

[SlowwHand]

Well, well. Who's in first?
I won't mention any names, but his initials are SLOWWHAND.

It doesn't get any closer than a 1 point victory.

[walruskkkch]

Only in first by virtue of total points my friend.
