why doesn't he? i mean, all he has to do is put Young into his starting roster. No, he would be substituting young for a another active player, not getting an additional active player. Well there were other players he could have dropped, but what rational person would, absent speculating that there would be some esoteric rule that no one who even played previously new or was clear about? Are you going to at least give him an opportunity to drop someone else for Young? | ||||||
| 275 | Mattinglyinthehall ID: 454491514 Fri, Sep 07, 2007, 15:45 |
I think I'm with Bili and PD now that it's sorted out. As long as you aren't able to start an extra player, I don't see the issue. I suppose there is a slight advantage in being able to give yourself an extra available player after the start of the first game, but if you're only able to move a player who was benched for that first game to begin with, I don't see how it's worth changing the rules after the season has started. | ||||||
| 276 | Perm Dude ID: 1481279 Fri, Sep 07, 2007, 15:46 | He can put him into the starting lineup, but then he has to take someone out of his starting lineup. Bili is right: He doesn't get an extra player, because he only has so many starting positions (and no more). | ||||||

Are you going to at least give him an opportunity to drop someone else for Young? i've said all along that wouldn't be a problem. why would i suddenly swerve on that? I don't see how it's worth changing the rules after the season has started. i don't see it as changing rules. i've never played in a league where you could involve a player who's team already played in a transaction. - to me, allowing that, is changing the rules in mid-stream. i know this is counter to poli-thinking, but fantasy ball is supposed to be fun, every single rule does not need to be spelled out. there are certain accepted norms, and not being able to involve a player who's team has already played in a transaction is one of them. | ||||||
| 278 | Mattinglyinthehall ID: 454491514 Fri, Sep 07, 2007, 16:37 | So input from the rest of the league on the issue is irrelevant to you? | ||||||

I kinda wondered when I made the move last nite if it was legal, since New Orleans had already played.......I went ahead and dropped a diff player, added S Young again.......I tend to agree with Tree on this, it does, in effect, give you an "extra roster spot", not just looking at starters/bench, because I could, if I wanted, still start S Young this week (not gonna, but I could).................True, you only have so many starting positons, but I was dropping a guy whose team had already played, and getting a guy I could theoretically still use this week -- Doesn't give an advantage as far as #'s, but, as MITH explained in post 121: We decided last year to opt out of Yahoo's default system where free agents can be picked up anytime. The major reason I believe was to avoid the situation where RBs 1 and 2 go down on Sunday and a player suddenly becomes valuable and goes to the 1st person to go to the computer. Some people are away many Sundays, some aren't near a computer and some just don't want to have to follow all injuries and rush to the computer when a player suddenly becomes valuable. But, using this example -- Say Seahawks S. Alexander and Maurice Morris both get hurt in the walk-thru practice at the hotel Sat. nite.......I could still pick-up Seahawk rb #3 (whoever that is) up until kickoff, 1:15 pacific, right? Like I said, though, I do agree with you, Tree, that my dropping Meachem after his team had played did, in effect, give me xtra roster spot.......... Clyde | ||||||

So input from the rest of the league on the issue is irrelevant to you? yea, that's it. look - you've had issues with me ever since you and your boy booted me out of a baseball league last year because, from what i gather, you didn't like competitive players. but why are we suddenly changing long established things because a couple people in the league want to? that defies all logic and sense. But, using this example -- Say Seahawks S. Alexander and Maurice Morris both get hurt in the walk-thru practice at the hotel Sat. nite.......I could still pick-up Seahawk rb #3 (whoever that is) up until kickoff, 1:15 pacific, right? absolutely. imho, as long as you're not dropping a guy who's team has already played. | ||||||
| 281 | biliruben ID: 17502215 Fri, Sep 07, 2007, 16:56 |
Dang. c_lide. Doing the research. Glad I invited you, man. | ||||||
| 282 | c_lide ID: 5770274 Fri, Sep 07, 2007, 16:59 | I'm just embarrased that I don't know who Seahawk rb #3 is..........what kinda Hawk fan am I??? :) | ||||||
| 283 | Mattinglyinthehall ID: 454491514 Fri, Sep 07, 2007, 17:04 |
why are we suddenly changing long established things because a couple people in the league want to? You're the one changing rules. You wrote: "i've never played in a league where you could involve a player who's team already played in a transaction". I don't know anything about your personal experience but an awful lot of people play in free Yahoo leagues and I'm quite sure the vast majority don't incorporate elaborate external regulations like we do here. So while allowing something that does not break any established regulations might be "changing the rules in mid-stream" to you, as you put it, to some of us it might not be. | ||||||

There's no question that Clyde should be disqualified this week. The fact that he's playing my team has no bearing on my position. (Do I really need a smiley face?) | ||||||
| 285 | c_lide ID: 5770274 Sat, Sep 08, 2007, 07:56 | I know you're afraid of that 1-0 lead I've got on ya...........oh, wait, this aint hockey--nevermind.......... | ||||||
| 286 | biliruben ID: 4911361723 Sun, Sep 09, 2007, 16:27 |
ack. That's what a Bill's fan gets for playing Elam. | ||||||
| 287 | biliruben ID: 4911361723 Tue, Sep 11, 2007, 10:20 |
So we are sending the waiver claims to you, MITH, before 6 pm pacific tonight? What email should we use? | ||||||
| 288 | Mattinglyinthehall ID: 454491514 Tue, Sep 11, 2007, 10:47 |
My email is linked in post 226. Gotta love scoring a win with the third-lowest point total for the week. | ||||||
| 289 | biliruben ID: 17502215 Tue, Sep 11, 2007, 16:52 | Claims Sent. | ||||||
| 290 | Mattinglyinthehall Leader ID: 01629107 Tue, Sep 11, 2007, 21:27 |
The first waiver claims of 2007 have been processed and posted. I received claims from 6 managers, including myself. We have until tomorrow night at 10pm EST to claim our new property. At that time the claims become void and the free agent market is a normal free-for-all until the start of Week 2 games. | ||||||
| 291 | Taxman SuperDude ID: 029463114 Wed, Sep 12, 2007, 01:08 |
I have jumped the gun..picked up Archuleta. Do I need to drop him? He wasn't claimed thru the waiver process. | ||||||
| 292 | Tree ID: 3533298 Wed, Sep 12, 2007, 12:28 | fixed... | ||||||
| 293 | biliruben ID: 17502215 Wed, Sep 12, 2007, 13:48 |
Thanks for orchestrating the waivers, maestro MITH. MBJ - I gots you in my sights week 6. Fortunately for you, my team is having a group retreat. 11 players on bye. Brilliant drafting! | ||||||
| 294 | Punk42AE Donor ID: 036635522 Wed, Sep 12, 2007, 17:15 | I like how you put that Bili. | ||||||
| 295 | Punk42AE Donor ID: 036635522 Sun, Sep 16, 2007, 18:49 |
Wow big TD day. Palmer 6 TD, Rudi 1 TD, Smith 3 TD, Galloway 2 TD, Williams 1 TD | ||||||
| 296 | biliruben ID: 4911361723 Sun, Sep 16, 2007, 22:28 |
Nice! All I got was Chad. | ||||||
| 297 | biliruben ID: 4911361723 Sun, Sep 16, 2007, 22:44 | I told my wife that story, and she started to cry. | ||||||
| 298 | Pancho Villa ID: 47161721 Mon, Sep 17, 2007, 08:47 |
Poor Clyde. He scores over 200 points but has the bad luck to face Punk's juggernaut. He's probably thinking the game is rigged. As for MITH and the Mentors, all that separates you and defeat is a catch and a tackle tonight. | ||||||
| 299 | Mattinglyinthehall ID: 454491514 Mon, Sep 17, 2007, 09:06 | Yeah most of the day we were thinking we were going to take it. | ||||||
| 300 | Perm Dude ID: 43825178 Mon, Sep 17, 2007, 09:34 | Need a good night from Moss to squeeze out a W tonight. Brees didn't do as sucky as I thought he would. | ||||||
| 301 | biliruben ID: 17502215 Mon, Sep 17, 2007, 13:06 | re: 297 - that was supposed to be in the "ton o bricks" thread. Chad's performance did make me cry, however. | ||||||
| 303 | c_lide ID: 5770274 Mon, Sep 17, 2007, 16:38 | OK, Bili, I guess I gotta forgive ya for drafting Bob Sanders...........Turns out he's my best defensive player :) Now, if I'd just drafted me some RB's, I just might be a little more competitive.........Also doesn't help that I am relying on the NY Giants Offense way too much :( | ||||||
| 304 | biliruben ID: 17502215 Mon, Sep 17, 2007, 17:06 | Heck of a turn, this week. The two highest performances yet this year, and they end up banging into eachother. | ||||||
| 305 | Punk42AE Donor ID: 036635522 Tue, Sep 18, 2007, 00:00 | Good match C_lide! | ||||||
| 306 | Perm Dude ID: 43825178 Tue, Sep 18, 2007, 00:02 | That last quarter was very tough to watch. Moss was wide open for a huge TD and gets overthrown. In another leage my opponent has McNabb, who picked away and picked away and almost threw and INT in the end. Argh. Lost that game by about 1 point. | ||||||
| 307 | Boldwin ID: 225162520 Wed, Jun 27, 2012, 06:06 |
BUTT Saving this from the Langoliers on page 16.  When should we start the Football Draft and the discussion? Training camp schedules start to be released | ||||||
| 308 | PuNk42AE Donor ID: 036635522 Fri, Aug 03, 2012, 21:28 | Continuing this season? | ||||||
| 313 | Boldwin ID: 18643169 Sun, Aug 05, 2012, 18:26 |
It was just an active thread, the furthest back poliboard football thread. I thot it would be good to save it. See langoliere comment #307 | ||||||
| 316 | Boldwin ID: 18643169 Mon, Aug 06, 2012, 04:17 | I'll run it if no one else will, but someone else will have to start the appropriate threads. Draft discussion thread, draft thread, keepers thread. | ||||||
| 317 | Boldwin ID: 18643169 Mon, Aug 06, 2012, 04:43 | Maybe a few easily buffaloed non-commitals left around for sport. | ||||||
| 318 | Pancho Villa ID: 59645318 Wed, Aug 22, 2012, 09:30 | If we're going to continue to have a Poli football league, we need to get going. | ||||||
| 319 | Building 7 Leader ID: 171572711 Wed, Aug 22, 2012, 10:07 | I emailed astade Monday, and have not heard anything. He may be in another league here. Not sure we can count on him. | ||||||
| 320 | Tree ID: 17039238 Wed, Aug 22, 2012, 10:17 |
If we're going to continue to have a Poli football league, we need to get going. PV - did you not get the invite - along with Astade and Bili, and you're one of the 3 who hasn't signed up yet. | ||||||
| 321 | boikin ID: 532592112 Wed, Aug 22, 2012, 10:28 | can someone refresh me on the keeper rules? | ||||||
| 322 | Building 7 Leader ID: 171572711 Wed, Aug 22, 2012, 11:45 |
Keep 4 offensive and 2 defensive players. Then you can go into yahoo and enter them. | ||||||
| 323 | Boldwin ID: 57242212 Wed, Aug 22, 2012, 13:25 | Does ANYONE have Astade's contact information? He is all that is holding up our Football league. Not faulting him as it was next to impossible to catch up with league action the last two weeks. | ||||||
| 324 | Pancho Villa ID: 59645318 Wed, Aug 22, 2012, 15:10 | I never got an invite. | ||||||
| 325 | Boldwin ID: 57242212 Wed, Aug 22, 2012, 15:26 | It's got to be in your e-mail. Check the right e-mail account. | ||||||
| 326 | Pancho Villa ID: 59645318 Wed, Aug 22, 2012, 15:32 | What right e-mail account? I never got one. I get everything from the baseball league, so there should be no mystery. | ||||||
| 327 | Tree ID: 397412215 Wed, Aug 22, 2012, 16:44 |
i'll re-send this evening. it auto-sent to everyone who played last season. maybe it ended up in your spam filter? | ||||||
| 328 | astade ID: 517342216 Wed, Aug 22, 2012, 17:46 | Yeah. It was in my SPAM folder. Thanks to everyone that sent me a gentle reminder. I'm enrolled in the league and I have set my keepers! Looking forward to 2012 :) | ||||||
| 329 | Boldwin ID: 57242212 Wed, Aug 22, 2012, 22:41 |
Astade's in. It looks to me like PV and bili are our late-comers. Tree. Can you sent league password and ID number to them in case they can't find the e-mail signup? My addy is there if anyone wants to give me their contact info to facilitate this. | ||||||
| 330 | Tree ID: 17039238 Wed, Aug 22, 2012, 23:28 | invites re-sent. not sure if bili's was correct.... | ||||||
