Does anyone like their team? Mines pretty blah too. A lot of my sleepers were nabbed a few rounds in advance. It's really annoying drafting against people that aren't idiots, I'm not used to that.

I'm really glad I gambled on David Johnson at #3 overall in the draft. He has been everything I hoped for. Please never die.

Why in the gently caress is Purple Grank playing the Browns defense against me? I feel like I'm supposed to be insulted by that, like when Brady punts on 3rd down

It's called hubris. Like how the Browns actually field a football team instead of just forfeiting.

I was stuck at minus 3 points for so long and was sure I was going to lose by that count. I had 3 full on duds this week and pulled off the win thanks to a miracle OT TD by Carr and so many penalties the Raiders needed a million yards to compensate. I regret nothing.

America's Game, the way it's meant to be played.
I had the writeups this week but I was too lazy for pictures so you get a wall of text:

Touchdown There vs. Personal Breesus
22.2 vs 146.6

Breesus had the luxury of a BYE week facing our missing in action commissioner TDT, aka the Browns of fantasy. To his credit his team did well with his namesake Drew Brees scoring 19.4 against CAR and throwing to Michael Thomas who scored 11.8. Breesus could have benched the rest of his lineup and still won.

Mods Knew vs. Bang Bang
98.9 vs 114.8

Bang Bang extended his record to 8 wins defeating Mods Knew fairly handily. Bang is now in 1 game back in 3rd place and in the hunt for a potential bye. Roethlisberger had a disappointing week capturing only 8.7 points despite playing the Browns, however Bang's WR unit (Evans, Landry, Moncrief) was solid with 16.5, 13.8, and 13.7 points respectively and the team was buoyed by Riddick (16.3) and Ebron's (16.1) performances against Jacksonville. Mods team was carried by Tom Brady (36.4) but he wasn't enough to overcome the rest of the team not scoring more than 13.6 points (Gurley) and 2 straight up duds (Kerley and the Chiefs D). Sorry Mods but quarterbacks aren't always the best.

Dab Nation vs. Fitz Out for Harambe
119.3 vs. 114.8

The closest matchups of the week are always fun to look at. It looks like the defenses were the deciding factor in this one with Dab's Raiders scoring 5 points and Fitz' Eagles having 0 against the Seahawks. Probably not a great idea to start any defense against the Seahawks at this point unless you have the Rams. Dab's best player was Mariota (26.5) who lucked out against Indy... aka the TDT of defenses. Ted Ginn JR also exceeded expectations scoring 14.9 and Dab got enough out of Prosise (16.1) before his injury. Fitz started Stafford who gave a Fitzpatrick-like performance (11.1), Brown who was respectable (15.6) as usual and Latavius Murray (14.2) who scored just enough to leave both teams sweating out Monday Night's game.

Purple Grank vs. Genie in a Bortles
81.7 vs. 146.1

A blowout for Genie who had 3 wide receivers above 20 points (Rishard Matthews, Steve Smith Sr, Julian Edelman) which is ridiculous. Genie also had Elliott who actually had a down week only scoring 16.4, which tied what Bortles put up against Detroit. Grank's decision to start Alex Smith due to Rivers' bye week actually paid off for 21.4 points, but his team suffered from RB Ryan Matthews suffering injury early and only putting up 3 points and 3 duds with Jesse James (1.5), Crabtree (3.5) and the Ravens defense (-2). Even if Grank had started Sharpe (16.8) who rode his bench over Crabs, Genie's team put the score out of reach.

Blue Squares vs. RG Three Dicks
150.1 vs. 174

Blue Squares must have horrible luck because he handed in the 2nd highest score of the week and just happened to go against the highest score. Sorry bro you would have won against literally any other team but instead you took a pounding from RG3's dicks. Squares had no player under 8.7 points (Witten) and only him and Boldin (9.7) were under 10. Aaron Rodgers lead the way with 35.3 pts Sunday night against the Redskins and he rounded out his team with the Vikings Defense and Special teams which both scored a TD aginst Arizona on the way to 22. Meanwhile Three Dicks also had a great defensive week (Lions 20 pts) and had 3 other players above 20 points (Wilson, Bell, Baldwin) before rounding it out with good performances from Beasley, Graham and Tyler Boyd, the latter of which was no doubt helped by AJ Green's injury. I have no idea how Three dicks only had three wins coming into the week considering he also had Freeman on his bench with a bye.

Russell Wilsons Libido vs. My Doctor Prescribed Weed
134.3 vs 97.7

Weed might want to refill his prescription to ease his suffering as he lost by 36 points to fall to 4-7. Weed's best player was Amari Cooper (15.7), while Beckham Jr only had 9.6 points and joined 3 other players (Lockett, Julius Thomas, Michael Floyd) under 10 points on the week. Newton (14.4) and the Seahawks defense (7) were also somewha disappointing and underperformed expectations albeit the latter losing points during garbage time against the Eagles. Meanwhile, Libido (my dumb team) cried when AJ Green went down with injury making the team's WR core absolute junk outside of Dez Bryant (26) who had been spotty all year but scored 2 TDs against Baltimore. Martellus Bennett can go gently caress himself after only having 1 catch for 2 points despite Gronk's absence and can join Bortles who is so horrible at this point that Hurns (1.9 pts) is going to be riding my bench moving forward. Fat Rob Kelley (31.7) was my saving grace along with Carr who had another great week (27.6) to ensure the win.

Well, Davante Adams let my trip to the finals drop through his hands twice, but I can't be mad. Two months ago I was 2-7, so coming within a drop of the finals is better than I could've dreamed.

I was watching the GB game and cheering at each of those drops. JJ Nelson also dropped a gimme 50 yd TD so I figured that was karma on my part. I remember doing the write-ups a few weeks back and thinking your team was pretty stacked so congrats on turning it around.

I have a friend that lost because of the Crowder fumble at the end of the game. Looks like Breesus pulled it out by .4 - saved by PPR.

I already got a response. Looks like we have an option to vote on a new commissioner. That sounds like the best solution. We need 7 people to participate in this.

Hi Valarie,

LeagueSafe is not responsible for resolving disputes between a league commissioner and league members, and we always encourage such disputes to be settled by league members. In this particular case, however, you do have a couple of options:

1) The worst-case scenario is that the money would be returned to individual accounts in the same amount that was paid in. This won't happen until 60 days after the funds were available for allocation, and must be requested by a league member at that time.

2) There is a process that can expedite things, however, if you're willing to do a bit of legwork. It involves getting the league to approve a change in commissioner (to you, perhaps). Once the commissioner change process has been completed, the new commish would be able to allocate funds as they see fit, and the allocation would be subject to a Majority Vote before they would be released.

Please note: this process won't become available to your league until 30 days after the funds were available for allocation, and must be requested by a league member at that time.

If you want to begin the process of a commissioner change, this is how you'd do it:

A 51% nomination/approval of one existing league member who has made a payment into the league must be made in order for the change to take place. League members have 48 hours to approve the new commish and must obtain at least 51% or the vote will not carry (for example, in a league of 10, 6 “change” votes will be required). Votes MUST be cast on the message board of your league's LeagueSafe home page. Votes can be cast by members who log in to the league and post the following text to the message board: "I authorize (name) to be the new commissioner."

If the vote does carry, it is the league members’ responsibility to contact LeagueSafe to administer the change in commissioner. During that 48 hour period, no allocations will be allowed to be made. Please notify LeagueSafe if you are attempting to start this process (as you have 48 hours to complete it).

We know it's not a perfect process, but we hope it results in action to properly allocate your winnings and bring a conclusion to your season.

Thanks for using LeagueSafe.
