Now I am looking down at a 0-4. Sucks big time. Freaking Rotoworld need to do a better job in explaining pitch count and a warning not to start, Nah not really buddy. Do your research for your self. That’s why you’re 0-4. Just blindly looking at rotoworld one paragraph analysis from a guy who came in fourth in his office league one time in 2011 and somehow got this volunteer job 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Let me get this straight, you're not happy because he made a trade that made his team better? What's the point in trading then - there is often a winner and loser - and as someone said, who are you to really make that judgment 25% of the way through a season? It may look lopsided to you right now, but ultimately the real determination happens near the end of the season. I also don't believe that trade is a garbage trade at all. Not even close. Vetoes should be used to prevent collusion, and certainly not to drum up support via private emails to block a trade. If you're using vetoes to protect "guys who aren't really sure what they are doing", perhaps this how they will gain experience and learn. And if not, then maybe they shouldn't be playing fantasy football. Your vision is very short sighted, which makes me question what kind of manager/leader you are in the "office."

I actually see his side. The optimal league setting is to either not have vetos, commissioner only vetos only in the case of collusion, or have league vote vetos with rules stating you can only veto if you suspect foul play. However, under this system there are no rules in place regarding vetos and thus I get if someone wants to wield their vote in the way they think is most advantageous to their team. Would i I do it? No. Would I want someone in my league who does it? No. But I don’t really blame someone for taking advantage of the rules (or lack thereof). 2 Link to post Share on other sites

If you really really want to win, then put in a lot of time researching players before the draft, wake up at 4AM to add players from the waiver, religiously watch the games to make better judgement calls on match-ups during the season. Don't meddle in a perfectly fair trade between two other teams just because "I'm playing to win" Both of these guys are taking fantasy football too seriously ,especially for a a work league, but I don't see the side the boss's side at all of "just doing what I gotta do to win"..it just sounds childish and pathetic.

CooL 3,281 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) Lesson of the day: If you're going to vent on RW forums about your boss who also reads these forums, maybe at least change the players involved a little so it's not obvious to him. Good gosh, what are the chances? That annual performance review is going to be quite awkward. Back to fantasy football... How is it that every single player in the game who stepped foot on the field score buckets of points, but not the one stupid guy *cough cough* that I happen to own? If Dalvin Cook is trash, then my season is pretty much over. I'm regretting not bidding higher for James Conner. Edited September 28, 2018 by CooL Link to post Share on other sites

I can tell just by the way you play fantasy football that you're a s---y boss and don't deserve authority. As a person in authority, you should hold yourself to a higher standard to set an example for those that work under you. I would not be surprised if you ran your company into the ground.

Cousins and Goff were both benched by their owners. Cousins I sorta get (on the road, TNF, good defense), but Goff should be starting every single week. Unless you have Mahomes and Rodgers or something. The Rams pretty clearly have the best offense in the NFL. Keep him in your starting lineup. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
