Ursa Majoris Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Emmitt Smith should have lived by this philosophy instead of being chumped for the last few years of his career. So much for your 2007 membership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 We will move new owners to the back of the draft making the return owners slightly happier. So you are punishing a new owner for no reason? Really sounds like a great league.... what's your sell line.. come join our league where we will treat you unfairly if you want to join?

muck Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 This whole "penalize the new guy" seems a bit disingenuous to me. Maybe that's one reason I don't have anything but auction leauges left in my queue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pope Flick Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 We will move new owners to the back of the draft making the return owners slightly happier. Since you asked, I have two suggestions: lighten up over the champ who left - it's only a game. And 2, punishing new owners leads me to believe there's more to the story than we're being told as to why the other guy left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our league is made up of friends so there's no absolute rules dictated and everyone has a say. I think he left for personal reasons and I didn't feel necessary to ask him for specifics. I agree in not punishing the new owners, but for the previous owners that are staying that thought they were getting a prime draft spot what's fair for them since they thought they were in this keeper league and having a high draft spot? I would love to hear of other options, its one of the reason's why I started this discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won the league last year and as a result he has a "bad" draft slot. He has chosen to leave the league, giving plenty of notice. That means the new owner will get the "bad" draft slot but will also get to keep LT. I suspect that many in your league would happily trade their draft spot and one of their keepers to get LT.

Players drafted in the 1st two rounds can't be keepers, so LT goes back on the board. Any player from rounds 3 and up can be kept and they lose that round -2. So keeping a 3rd rounder costs their 1st this year if they really want him that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muck Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Is the draft order serpentine or "true NFL style" top to bottom (1-32) each round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitpdub Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 Is the draft order serpentine or "true NFL style" top to bottom (1-32) each round? We've always done it serpentine. This is the first year we're trying this keeper variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 New owner coming in simply takes over old team. He chooses his keeper from said roster, gets said draft spot. I am really failing to see the issue here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay so he can't keep LT and will have a "bad" draft slot ... but surely there are 2 good keepers from a championship team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isleseeya Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I think Fantasy Football leagues should be like the Mafia. Once you join, you can never get out. At least not alive... Mafia does not exist ...well at least it does not any longer now that soprano's are done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
