WildTurkey Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Excuse me, that should read "didn't want to chance negative points" in the subject. We had our first round playoffs in a longstanding Yahoo (yeah I know) league I play in. #4 and #5 seeds played. After Sunday night, the #4 seed was up by a fraction of a point. #5 team had no players left, #4 team had Seattle D going on Monday night. They sat Seattle D "just in case" of negative points (y'know, just in case the Rams were to go off and run up the score and Seattle D gets negative for allowing +30 points or something like that). Yahoo comes and adjusts stats at 1:00 AM this morning, and negates Victor Cruz 1 catch and 9 yards. Nicks actually caught that pass, so they corrected the error (a full day later). Thus, come this morning, #4 team loses by .45 points since he had Cruz in his starting lineup. Gotta love Yahoo's timeliness. P.S. Seed #4 was a real Brooklyn Decker smack talker all season and won pretty much every week by virtue of having Brady and Gronk combo. Guy's been silent and may have jumped off a cliff today. Karma, it's a bitch. good luck to all huddlers if you're still in it to win it. Edited December 14, 2011 by WildTurkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrTed46 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 that was just plain dumb. I can understand if he had a bad defense like the Colts v packers or something like that...but still I wouldnt bench them. he deserves to lose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MnLefty Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 This thread should be pinned or archived somewhere for reference when the question comes up about the ethics of sitting a player to avoid scoring negative points. I believe there was one this week that actually involved the SEA D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelsosi Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Yahoo comes and adjusts stats at 1:00 AM this morning, and negates Victor Cruz 1 catch and 9 yards. Nicks actually caught that pass, so they corrected the error (a full day later). This wasn't an unexpected change either. I saw it talked about in multiple places (including here I believe) on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Grits: You don't allow do-overs in your league? :Grits Damn right! Clearly the team acted on bad/false information when he benched Seattle. Had he known that Cruz's score would be adjusted he would NOT have benched Seattle. What a moran ... prevent defense just prevents you from winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is exactly the same situation as the last time, so that was exactly what I thought of. I just knew you'd appreciate it and had to give you a shout out on it.
