Man, I drove to Rockford on Sunday morning to visit my Dad in the hospital. I got home at like 11:55am and went straight to the pc to see if I could salvage something given I had Arian Foster. I went to add Lorenzo Taliaferro, but he was already locked. Of course, he goes off and is the #1 waiver claim. I hate fantasy football.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 10:57 AM) Yeah, Steve, you're right. I never logged in to ESPN to accept the trade. It was still sitting out there open. I guess I could have done it from my phone, but I was just waiting until we got home. Technically, there is a 2-day veto period. So trades don't go through for 48 hours. In our league, however, we just ask the commish to push it through without having to wait so that people can make wavier claims, other trades, etc. Like you said, you should never mention a trade to anyone else until it's officially accepted. I know that. But as I mentioned, the only reason I even told him was because I needed his help pushing it through so that I could make waiver claims last night and add a new TE. I certainly would never tell anyone else in our league. There it is. Sure, the commish was a dick, but he undercut a deal that was not yet agreed-to on the league page. It was s***ty, but in the end it's your fault.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 10:41 AM) I'm pretty sure the trade was proposed and accepted on the site, the commish just had to approve. So it was technically agreed to and completed and then the commissioner decided to abuse his power. Oh, then I'd personally quit the league yesterday.

I just discovered this awesome show on Netflix called "The X-Files", I believe. Some weird show about unexplainable phenomena. They must be trying to rip off Fringe or something. It was filmed in 4x3 (weird), but it still looks good! Anyway, if you get a chance to check it out, you really should. I can't believe I've never given it a shot before this morning! /green

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 12:19 AM) Alright, I have to pose this scenario and y'all tell me if I have a right to be mad or not. Currently, I'm pretty pissed... My roommate is also my league commissioner for a league with all of our old college buddies. We were out at dinner when I got a trade offer I had worked all day on getting. Our league doesn't do official veto's, so the commish just accepts all trades as soon as the 2 parties agree. So I ask him "Hey, when we get home, will you go ahead and approve a trade I just made?" He says sure, then he asks who I traded for. I tell him because I didn't think it was a big deal. Apparently while we were eating, he texts our buddy who I made the trade with and tells him he'll up the offer and to cancel the one he made to me. That's f***ed up, right? I would never tell anyone else in my fantasy league about a potential trade. But because he's our commish and I need his approval to push it through, I thought it would be fine. He's completely in the wrong, right? If he wasn't the commish, I'd have never even mentioned the trade. He abused his power, correct? I know it's just fantasy football, so I feel a little stupid being mad over this. But I can't help it. While it was a dick move, it sounds like you never completed the trade. You should hate accepted before telling anyone else. In my league, trades just go through. The commish shouldn't have any extra power.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 03:05 PM) Is Barbara Gordon the daughter of Jim? Because that's what she is supposed to be, and given that Jim is supposed to be relatively young in the series, it doesn't make sense that he would have a kid older than Bruce Wayne Edit: after reading Gordon's wiki, his wife (Barbara kean gordon)and daughter are both Barbara. His daughter becomes Batgirl. So far they are staying cannon Now when does the Joker shoot Barbara Gordon, rape her, and leave her crippled? Yes, DC Comics can be dark, btw!

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 22, 2014 -> 05:00 PM) Is it too late to b**** about Madden? I've enjoyed it. That said, NHL 15 and Destiny have kinda taken over. I swear, the first games of Madden are enjoyable, and then suddenly it always becomes impossible to do anything but slant routes without getting intercepted.

I don't know why I bother. Week 1 - Eddie Lacy goes out in the 2nd quarter. Foster plays ok Week 2 - Trade Eddie Lacy and Emmanuel Sanders for Jamaal Charles. Charles leaves in the 1st quarter. Week 3 - Trade for Knile Davis, he goes off, but Arian Foster is injured. Handcuff to start the year is no longer handcuff (Grimes) and Blue was picked up last week. Add to this I have Alshon Jeffery who is injured so far for every game, and you can get where I'm at. Bring on fantasy basketball!

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 18, 2014 -> 08:25 AM) So, Eddie Lacy has been a no-brainer, but he has nagging injuries, is coming off of a concussion, and has underperformed points-wise this season. In PPR, should I use him, Lamar Miller, Cordarelle Patterson, Stevan Ridley or TY Hilton in my FLEX? He was your first round pick and we're in week three of the season. You play Eddie Lacy. That said, given the players you're choosing from for FLEX, it sounds like it's an 8 or 10 teamer, which means YAWN.
