QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Nov 12, 2012 -> 11:35 AM) Yeah, but when a player is a game time decision I usually have my alternative in ahead of time in case I can't check Sunday before the games for whatever reason. If they are declared active I'll insert them. Which is fine, but if youre in say a 14 team league, you dont have lots of depth, so you really need to know all the information, especially if there is any chance a big time player is going.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 12, 2012 -> 11:29 AM) Anybody who waits until 11:00 on Sunday to set their lineup deserves to lose. Anyone who makes this comment must not be in a very competitive league because teams dont even release who is officially active or inactive until after that time.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Nov 12, 2012 -> 11:07 AM) If you have a 12 team league and we say 1 game were legit affected by the outage you are affecting 5 other games that were fine. In majority of leagues you'd be be screwing over a lot more teams..... I agree there is no good answer. Which is why I think its an interesting discussion.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Nov 12, 2012 -> 11:03 AM) Badger, Why wouldn't you have just emailed your commissioner (or even the entire league)? "Hey, it's 11:00, I want to put in X for Y but I can't since Yahoo is down, can this be documentation that I am making this change? It's in before kickoff, etc." As a commissioner, that would work for me, you would be able to show the league the email and have that be the workaround for Yahoo being down. Not sure why you wouldn't have done this. The only answer is because weve never even discussed what happens in the event of a system wide yahoo failure. The real issue was not being able to access the site at all, so you couldnt do any research, add drop players. I just kept refreshing because I assumed that it was a temporary issue. Either way, I dont really care that much. I just think its an interesting situation.

Its ironic that announcers still say things like "cobwebs" after a player gets hit in the head. If a player is acting that way, they probably shouldnt be in the game. You also knew something was wrong with Cutler because the next play he ran and dove head first, which is not what youd expect from someone who suffered a head trauma the play before. If he wants to last hes going to need to stop putting himself in dangerous situations.

I get that most people are going to argue what benefits them. Its not just about your team, the question is did anyone in your league get screwed. Because 1 game having a different outcome could change the entire league. Whatever happens Im sure yahoo will just say its free, you pay for what you get.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Nov 12, 2012 -> 10:23 AM) I totally get that, but how is fair to Team A who beat Team B fair and square when both teams were unaffected? That's losing a legitimate victory for that team, when they may need it Its troubling no doubt, but there is no "fair" way to do it. You either have people losing due to a website malfunction, people winning due to a malfunction, or no one getting anything due to malfunction. I think scenario 3 is the most fair. If there is something broken with the game, it shouldnt count. It sucks for everyone because it really was yahoos issue. I dont really know what you do with this to be honest.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Nov 12, 2012 -> 10:21 AM) It was down starting around 11am. That's two hours pre-kickoff. I usually set a "just in case" lineup on Wednesdays but there were several key players listed as game time decisions this week. Yahoo went down about the same time as actives/inactives start rolling in Yep and if you happened to have been unlucky enough to actually be moving a player to the bench, you were screwed.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Nov 12, 2012 -> 10:19 AM) It's football, you had an entire week to check lineups, unless you were waiting on a player that was a game time decision I don't feel particularly bad for anyone. I set my line ups and then was changing players around that morning when the website went down... How is that fair? Some games I won, some I lost. DQ is fair because no one gets a benefit from yahoos malfunction.

I sent an email to yahoo saying they need to dq all week 10 results because of their bulls***. Kind of bogus people are winning/losing due to a website malfunction.

its really windy, weather is changing

Im going to be basically out in my league due to Danny Woodhead and Jacoby Jones. Players who arent even good enough to start on a decent team. Such is fantasy.

yahoo server is lagging for me, its fantasy sunday dont do me like this.

I need to talk about the streak now, because this year at Indiana likely is the end.

Yeah good or bad, now is a good time to get him some minutes to see if he can be a sold back up to Rose.

I personally think over-signing should be illegal in the Big 10. And Im not sure my stance is jealousy, Indiana hasnt beat lowly Wisconsin since Jan. 31, 2007.

It would be weak for the SEC to lose their title streak just because they werent in the game. But I guess that would make up for last year where both teams were SEC and thus the streak had to continue.

Yeah strange ending. And if KState, Oregon and ND win, I expect Bama to be 4 in the BCS,

Bama and AM are having themselves a game.

Shabazz ineligible, may be for entire season.

I dont watch it, I was joking.

Thats just bad.

Dont worry Wisconsin will make it interesting by stupid things like running on 3rd and 2, or just calling passes in general when Indiana seemingly cant stop the run at all.

Spoiler alert that s***! (haha jk)

Well here comes an Indiana-Illinois war. Can we all just agree that everyone here wishes they went to Wisconsin?
