Random FF Thoughts

The Real Answer
I worked for a Fortune 500 company. So yes, you were expected to work regardless of the situation. In fact, the running joke at work was that a death certificate was not an excuse to miss a day of work.

The Funny Answer
If that was the way he would have died, the department he worked in would have found a way to save on a toner cartridge if his blood was available.

The Deeper Answer
I am not trying to be cold or hard-hearted. And i admit there probably is no solution where the NFL does not take some criticism. At least for me, they more or less trampled on all of the working stiffs who shell out big money to go to NFL games and in the process showed "compassion" for the millionaires who would have had to work. I applaud the sentiment and the effort but they catered more to the "priviledged" players imo.

I think my company would take a day off. Small company though.

I hear you on shafting the football consumer at expense of the privileged millionaires. I was watching the Sixers, and was excited to watch the rest of the Burrow and Allen matchup. I'll just say that I was not, however, shafted to near death.

From the NFL's perspective it would be the continuation of the Week 17 game, I believe. It would not be a new Week 19 game. FF leagues should always use official NFL stats unless it's impossible.

IMO this is an easy call unless you're in a league where Week 17 games decide what happens in later weeks (like @Sam Sportboy's Way Too Long league).

Dude, if it ends the way MFL has it now, there will be at least 1 team that will probably miss the playoffs because of this. He had JoeB going against Mixon down 10 going into the game.

The team on the left is now a lock to get into the playoffs


The team on the right here is now in an ugly 5 way tie fer the last spot in a must win this week.

Fortunately in my other money league the 2 owners came to an agreement to go with the final score depending on what the NFL does. So as it looks right now the team that was up 10 with McPherson going against Mixon is the winner.

@averagejoe - I'm moving a dynasty league over to Sleeper, smooth transition? anything you wished you would've done differently before/during/after the migration?

@TREFF - I already miss your previous avatar. .... as for the new one, I had to google who is is. Found this;
"Mark M Davis is an American businessman and sports franchise owner. He is the controlling owner and managing general partner of the Las Vegas Raiders of the National Football League and the owner of the Las Vegas Aces of the Women's National Basketball Association."

So have to ask - - any chance he got the two sports inter-mixed ?

Don't bet against Monkey, lesson learned.

And I think Mark Davis is very easy confused, so very possible

Not really.
We didn't "migrate" our dynasty to Sleeper, we started it there from the get-go.
We also run our auction league on Sleeper.
So sorry, I can't tell you if the transition of data will go smoothly.

Just a word that if the other owners are not familiar with navigating Sleeper, expect some complaints as they fumble through the navigation process.
All our owners love it now.

You should also encourage them to use their phones for Sleeper.
Some old-school owners try doing Sleeper on their computer. Even I admit that the computer version is awkward.
But the phone version (which its designed for) is awesome.

yeah, I've been telling everyone to get the app
ran some best ball leagues thru sleeper so some of the dynasty guys will already have some basic familiarity.

I brought it up 2-3yrs ago and no one had heard of Sleeper, this year 2 guys brought it up to switch so it is gaining a lot of traction

I hate Sleeper with a passion, but I don't use my phone for anything fantasy wise. I'm in two dynasty leagues on Sleeper and there are just some things I'm used to having access to that Sleeper doesn't offer like a history of all the trade offers in the league whether accepted or not like you can get in Fantrax. For somebody that trades as often as I do that's a pretty important thing and it drives me crazy that I don't have access to it. Also hate that they don't have a league rules section that is handy at all times like they do in every other fantasy site.

I know this will go nowhere since you hate Sleeper but whatever rules cannot be captured in the league settings, you can actually add them in the league history section. And they stay there forever.

Um I'm not the commissioner. That shit isn't my job.

Point is, the commish can add them and everyone has access to see them in the league history page.

Can only do that on mobile though. I always did most of my FF on a PC and now that I'm retired it's close to 100% because a PC is just more functional for me than using a phone with a tiny weeny screen and trying not to fat finger it. I do have a sleeper league but I prefer a site that doesn't hinder using a PC.

Actually, if you want to see all of the trades you were a part of, whether declined or accepted for the whole season, all of that is in your team's transaction icon.

Right there with you. I work from home so why the hell would I look at stuff on a 6" screen when I can look at it on a 27" screen. Just doesn't make sense.

Once again, that's only on the mobile version, there is no team transactions link anywhere in the desktop version. And when you go to league transactions and sort it by team it only shows accepted trades.

I get that. I like my 'puter too.
But since i still work (not in an office), i would say 95% of my fantasy activity (including posting here) is done on my phone.

On the desktop version, go to your team tab and click on the waiver icon to see the list of trades.
