On the other hand his starters were all reasonable picks who played and earned points, so he may have simply been satisfied to leave it as is.

I have a winning record for the first time in nineteen weeks

Good job!

I fully expected to go 0-3 or maybe 1-2 waiting for Bell to come off suspension. 3-0 is pretty unexpected.

Interesting to look at the Points For. Team McLean is the other 3-0 team and he and I are separated in total Points For by exactly one point, 442.25 to 443.25.

Poor Ash Ketchum is right behind that, at 442.18, but has the misfortune of having been hit with the league's highest Points Against, so is understandably at 1-2. Whereas I've had the easiest time of it - I'm comboing league-highest Points For with league-lowest Points Against.

I started the season with five starting running backs. I now have one and a half depending on Chris Ivory's status. FML.

To add to this I wish to take Jordan Howard off of Hawk Hunters' practice squad to start this week.

Start the clock!

Jordan Howard plays for the Chicago Bears, who are scheduled to play on Sunday. This is more than 72 hours from now, so this is a valid claim.
Note that "You attempt to steal a player by posting in this thread, as well as sending messages via the MFL interface to both the owner of the player, and all three commissioners." So please send messages to myself, Hixalot, and Spermy Smurf (the three commisioners). Hixalot owns the Hawk Hunters so that will satisfy the requirement.

Hixalot, you have 48 hours to respond, either by accepting the steal, or by committing to start Jordan Howard this Sunday.

Here's the taxi squad stealing rules. I keep forgetting to do it so I'm going to add those rules to our rules document right now.

And I've added them to our official rules doc: see rules 9.5 through 9.10. I made minor edits for clarity but did not change any of the rules.

The explicit rule is that you send those messages via MFL, both to allow owners without PMs to send messages, and because users can receive emails from MFL but you can't be push-notified that you got a SA PM without third-party software.

e. "email to entire league" is also fine and probably more convenient.

Cool.

You guys tell me if that rule is too obnoxious and us commissioners can debate it or whatever. I just imagined a situation where someone was a bit checked out for the week and I'd hate them to just not know their dude was getting stole.

Hixalot posted:

Right on.

Just a reminder although everyone should understand this by now: if a rookie gets started, at all, they are no longer eligible for anyone's practice squad forevermore.

I couldn't blind waiver for Wednesday (inexplicably), I can't submit partial lineups, I can't start a player on bye, and I don't want to drop someone to start a fill in taxi squad defensive player until Saturday waivers are cleared. So I can't set a lineup before tonight's game.

Spermy Smurf
Jul 2, 2004
The only guy you have on the bench that could play is Jeremy Hill.

Do you want to start him?

If not, just snag someone saturday and fill your starting lineup right?

Leperflesh
May 17, 2007

I'm still stuck in jury duty... I post during breaks but I don't want to try and fix issues on mfl using a kindle. I should be home by about half an hour before tonight's game but if another commissioner can figure out what's up before then, that'd be best.

Leperflesh
May 17, 2007

One thought: there's probably a setting somewhere prohibiting partial lineups, which we could relax. We don't have a league rule prohibiting that.

So that should fix it I think.

Spermy Smurf
Jul 2, 2004
Also: ALLOW PARTIAL LINEUPS was already set to YES so that shouldn't be the issue.

He doesn't have anyone on IR that isn't injured, so that isn't causing the problem...

Any errors Bloody?

"I know what Jury Nullification is."

Over and out.

Leperflesh
May 17, 2007

My goal is not necessarily to be dismissed: I get paid in full during jury duty and I think I'd be a good juror. I just want the tedious hell of jury selection to end.

The judge is now bringing in another group of jurors because it looks likely we're going to run out... And that is delaying us another day and a half.

Also jury nullification doesn't work if everyone who knows about it blabs and then gets dismissed. I won't lie, but I'm not going to bring it up, either.

I sincerely doubt this trial would wind up tempting me to try nullification anyway, just due to the nature of the trial.

holy poo poo my RBs and WRs are thin once the bye weeks start happening

WR is mostly due to injury (K. Allen, Moncrief and Kevin White all down for at least half the year), but my RBs are just awful...I think I have too many defensive players.

Leperflesh
May 17, 2007

I was all "oh five isn't that bad" and then I realized you have five defensive backs. And two linebackers and two defensive linemen.

Yeah. That's way too many, buddy! Nine guys to fill four positions. Oh make that ten, you have a rookie cornerback, too!

e. Also clearly I wildly underbid on my waiver grabs this week :argh:

Four teams with nonzero scores end the night within a quarter point of one another.
