Why is it any different than what has happened in several leagues this year where teams that had no chance of cashing, continue to use their FAAB to block others who are bidding on players in Week 26.
I was thinking the same thing.
Happened in my satellite league this past week where someone spent their remaining $$$ on two pitchers (Narveson and can't remember the other). They spent over $200 on each!
Problem is they are in 10th or 11th place and in NO WAY in contention. I didn't dig deep like Gekko to see why, but logic would say there is SOME motive there.
The NFBC/NFFC shouldn't be in the business of worrying how people manage their rosters (they have enough to do).
I have been screwed by "incompetence" (and I don't think it was intentional) where someone decided not to field a full lineup in football, and was playing an opponent who I was in a tight race with giving them a "free" win.
**** happens. It sucks, but it isn't breaking rules. I'm good friends with you Mark, and I know you don't like my opinion here, but that is just the way I see it.
Like I said before, the best advice moving forward is DON'T MAKE ENEMIES!
[/QUOTE]and before i forget, this post adds nothing to the discussion. i'm not talking about teams remaining competitive and making pickups. you say they are blocking, why couldn't they just be making pickups to stay competitive??? in any event, when they are picking up players, they aren't blocking one individual owner, like fandango has singled me out. EVERYONE is affected. neither of your examples fit and just cloud the real issue. poor examples billy. good job piling on. that's what friends are for i guess :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]Mark,I'm not sure what you want here.
The fact is (so we think) is that ONE owner is screwing you over, and you are pissed.
Should you be??? ABSOLUTELY
Is it morally "wrong" that he is doing this?? YES
Do we know FOR SURE that Fandango hasn't had some important reason (illness, personal issues, etc.) that have kept him from being active until now?? NO
Is that likely? OF COURSE NOT
Does it VIOLATE THE RULES for someone to be dormant for months and THEN make a move?? NO
The point is Mark, I think EVERYONE (with the exception of maybe you) has ruled out the "C" word. So it comes down to a guy being a dick to you. While it may corrupt the integrity of fantasy baseball, it IS NOT illegal to do!
I gotta ask this (and I know you won't answer), but if Fandango was enemies with the guy you are in contention with and Fandango did the same move to benefit YOU, would you post anything???
I won't continue with that until you have a chance to answer.
As for us being friends, I must of missed school the day they went over the part where if you don't agree with friends views that you should pretend you do anyhow. :rolleyes:
As opinionated as you are Mark, I thought you could handle someone not agreeing with you. I'm just trying to poke some holes in those blinders that you have on right now, and make you see the "whole picture".
I feel for ya, but again, I'm not sure what you are looking for here?
