10th Man...

Who are we gonna get?

You know my feelings, anyone in the league has to make a real effort to play every week. As in check your roster for injuries or bye weeks, every week. No giving games away because of laziness or any other reason. It fucks up the league, in my opinion. If someone signs up, they need to plan on spending 15 minutes a week setting their roster. Every week. For 17 weeks.

Death or deep coma are acceptable excuses. Too busy, loss of interest, vaginal trauma or mild coma: not acceptable.

Also, it would be nice if it was someone most of us are acquainted with.

Daryl and I have a proposal about a 10th team run by committee of the entire league (in case we can't indeed find anyone at all).

Yeah....I don't think I like that. It would seem to be a logistical nightmare, not to mention the problems that would arise from trading, or picking up released players (this is where the waiver wire would come in).

And when that team makes the playoffs...what then?

You're right, but playing with bye weeks is equally lame. This is if, not instead of, a tenth player, or even until we find another person sometime later in the season.

Sator Arepo said...

I agree with Lyrad. It is a contingency plan, not something to hope for. Also, if everyone votes, and with fairness in mind, any biases that occur week-to-week will be eliminated by the rest of the group, no?

Also, I like the "different kinds of comas" tag a lot.

I'm sure I could find someone, but probably not someone anybody else knows. I am deeply opposed to the collective option--surely in a nation of 300 million we can find one to play fantasy football.

I hit up Dave Heatherly on Facebook, haven't heard back yet...

Is there anyone else from that era (late 90's Santa Fe) that might be interested?

Sator Arepo said...

Erik clearly is a fascist.
