    Umm, for some reason my lineup was not inputted after I set it this week. WTF???

    I had-

    QB -Rodgers
    WR- Johnson
    RB- McClain
    TE- Owens
    UT- Dunn
    UT- Evans
    UT- Jackson
    K- Folk
    DL- Taylor
    LB- Ulracher
    DB- Cromartie
    DP- Harrison
    DP- Pace

    What the hell happened? I know I have zero chance of winning, but still. I really loath Fanstar!

    Jeez, I had to rush to the friggin waiver wire to get JJ Arrington in for Brandon Jacobs at the last minute and just made it.

    I think I'll just bench Colston for tomorrow and take the win.

    How the hell did I just lose 1 point when Colston hasn't done a damn thing?

    He still has a goose egg, but that shouldn't make me lose a point.

    That 70 yard TD kinda kicked your gripe to the curb.

    At least you had a lineup set that Fanstar agreed with and bowed to your presence. Me, not so much. :rolleyes:

    You should at least have got your last week's lineup as your current if it didn't stick.


    me smells a conflict of interest given who you were playing.

    First, your last weeks line-up does not just rollover, you have to set it each week.......

    Second, it's easy to see if your line-up is actually set, fanstar says lineup set, get a confirmation email, have a green zero next to your name prior to start, and can see the lineup........if not, send it to me and I can set it.......

    Lastly, to say I am not fair is weak, because I will go back and set his line-up only because he is playing me and this is suppose to be fun, he is not asking to play his same line-up from last week, he is replacing with all the good players from this week, after the games are done - however, most of the substitutions look legit and make sense..........so in fairness I am going back to set his line-up..............

    I've had nothing but injury after injury this year. My first round pick, my trade from Moe's, so yeah...sadly that was my lineup. Not really worried though as I know I got rolled again. And no, I do not think any unfairness was going on. I'm going to have to re-check my lineup every day before the game as I usually set my lineup on Tuesday's. I'll take the loss.

    Seriously, I've made trades, free agent pickups, etc. to try to keep my scab team competitive, but it just ain't happening this year. I have one sad bunch.

    No I put your starting line up in there and you actually end up winning this week, if you click the results page it shows it. However, it is not registering it in the standings, so I emailed fanstar to see how I fix that. Will get it fixed, it is the only fair thing to do and your team needs it to get to some type of respectability. :p

    I honestly don't remember what we have done in the past......anyone remember?

    The way I kind of remember is:

    Superbowl bracket - top 6 teams (where division leaders have a bye)
    Week 14 - wildcard games
    Week 15 - division championships
    Week 16 - Superbowl

    Toiletbowl bracket - bottom 4 teams
    Week 14 - playoff games
    Week 15 - Toiletbowl


    Tiebreakers:

    1. Head to head
    2. Division record
    3. Total points
    4. Coin flip

    Is that correct?????????????

    Hey Fanstar definitely has its glitches, but overall it does a good job for these leagues. The good thing is that these are not money leagues and just for fun, and a little bragging rights. :D

    But when issues come up, we just got to come to a fair agreement and move on, thankfully we don't have a lot.

    As far as your issue Sam, the Pittsburgh players should probably not count, the question is how do we do that?

    LH the standings should be adjusted soon, yes you beat me with that weak team and of late, you and Sam have hurt my teams domination........

    I do agree with Moe though, all disputes should be settled "Scrabble" style...... loser must leave town........... :cool:

    Lolz.

    I've actually spelled words like "Sodomy" and "F***ot" before

    Kind of awkward.

    I believe that is in the Scrabble dictionary, so take your points and run........actually I'm impressed anything for me over 1 syllable is rare......
