The Way Too Long League Cheater Edition Part Dos

[averagejoe]

@Sam Sportboy
If I can be serious for a minute...
Sam, Ana, Private Idaho Spud... you are one of my oldest and dearest fantasy cyber buddies.... it pains me to see you go through the nonsense that this bogus league puts you through. Money changes people. And if these cheaters already have questionable ethics, a money league isn't gonna make them better.
Get out.
Quit.
End your tour.
Don't look back.
You deserve better.

I didn't tell him I would participate in the league I told him I would help him fix it.................that league will never be right if they all don't sit down and have an actual rules meeting and vote on the issues. You would think peeps would care enough about a league that has been around this long to actually do that.

I appreciate that you tone down your language for me, the board's prude.
Sorry, but I don't do money leagues.
If you pay for me, maybe we can collude on a few trades?
We'll show those white punks on dope.

Yer just mad at me cuz I told you to play all the wrong players this year. Good thing nobody ever listens to me though! Did you end up with the points record in that one league? I ended up with it. 1245-Non PPR BUT we start 2 FLEX.

 

[SteelersPride]

Dude, this league has been in existence for well over 30 years.............and no shit, has 13 rules (not counting scoring or settings). My other league has 3-4 PAGES of rules.............not counting scoring or settings.

3-4 pages , jesus about what

 

[tlance]

Well, the ruling on the field has been reversed. Gurley and Mixon are eligible to be kept fer a 19th round draft pick. Just texted my buddy and told him I will not be part of this league next year. Made a few suggestions too.................I wasn't very nice.

That is pretty clearly against the rules.

This league is not worth playing in if they are going to change rules on the fly. That is awful.

 

[Sam Sportboy]

3-4 pages , jesus about what

A lot of things come up over 35 years ..............lol. If somebody calls me and asks if something is legal, I tell them to read the damn rules. Maybe not that many pages without all of the spacing and trust me, we have had guise try to pull shit in this league too, we just have a rule fer all the shit they tried to pull.

Wait... I thought you were leaving this league and now I come to find out you are running it? Sam, what the hell, man? You remind me of that girl was in an abusive relationship and complaining about it all the time. I gave her a good pep talk and she's all like, "I'm going to finally do it and dump his ass." Then, next time I see her and ask her how it went, she's like,"We got married!"
