Sturphy Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 My rules: Never, under any circumstances, trade a player before the end of week 3. (itchy trigger finger) Always check lineups three times on Sunday morning. (@#%@#%!!!) Do not second guess lineup decisions, barring injury. (wicked smawt) And for the love of all that's holy, do not make trades for the sake of making trades. (also known as the "this league is boring, and no one will trade with me" dilemma) I know I have more, but I guess I'll just keep making those mistakes instead of writing em down with these. Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Do not propose trades at 3am pissed out of your mind on Saturday night. I've had a few accepted that way(not my plan). I guess they can home drunk 1-2 days after the offer and accepted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Beatings Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Stay on top of proposed trades. Dont leave owners in limbo wondering wether or not they even saw the offer. ALWAYS ANSWER THE OFFERS!!! On the flip side, if you haven't heard back from an owner on a trade that you have proposed, don't leave it hanging there for the owner to accept 5 minutes before kickoff, leaving you with an illegal lineup. If they can't get back to you in a timely manner, you have to retract the trade proposal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delicious_bass Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 1. Only draft one kicker and do it with last possible pick. 2. Only draft one defense and do it with second to last possible pick. 3. Do NOT leave the draft without at least 3 RBs that start(or at least project to start) for their teams. 4. Leave the QBs alone til about the midway point in the draft(unless, of course, an elite QB slides in which case an exception may be made) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystykoekaki Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Don't do multiple player trades in the other teams favor just because you want to make room to pickup that one player from the WW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtdickens Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Never draft Lee Evans. My old sig used to say "I will never trust Lee Evans again" Piece of crap cost me three games last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepinmofo Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Never draft Lee Evans. My old sig used to say "I will never trust Lee Evans again" Piece of crap cost me three games last year Sounds to me lke it was more of an issue of you guys just drafting him too early. So shouldnt the rule be, "never draft certain guys too early"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystykoekaki Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Don't pick around better players just because two or more players falls into the same bye week. Always get the best player available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturphy Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 And have never drafted Evans. But you hit me up for him earlier this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepinmofo Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 But you hit me up for him earlier this year... Ahh but see, that isnt drafting him. Besides, I have Moss already at WR, so Evans would be my WR2a WR2b (Berrian being the other). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtdickens Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Sounds to me lke it was more of an issue of you guys just drafting him too early. So shouldnt the rule be, "never draft certain guys too early"? drafted him around ten Perfest example of being Evansed is late last year coming off a huge game he then played against the worst pass defense and gave me 2. The following week on the bench 3 catches two TDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanCT Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 If you ever look at your roster and see that somehow Santana Moss ended up on it, DO NOT, under any circumstances...including bye week fill in's or an open flex position, insert him into your starting lineup.EVER!

jaxfactor Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Always pay your fees on time. And on the flip side of that, NEVER EVER SPEND LEAGUE FUNDS no matter how much of a hole you are in. It is not your money to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
