Well, we’ve got a Super Bowl that will break the division tie for second place in a Montana/Namath extravaganza! Congratulations to Pain of Mind and Thom and the Heads!

Very close matchup in the Super Bowl. I wonder if not playing the Packers D will be the difference.

Obviously, we have to see what happens with the Bills/Bengals game (as of now they're not playing it this week) as Pain of Mind is playing Joe Burrow as his QB. I know there are more important things, but we will see what happens.

I have sent a championship resolution proposal to both Pain of Mind and Thom and the Heads for the Super Bowl. But I do think we need an official rule in place for next year (voting for it of course). We thought it would happen more in the COVID year, but anything is possible. My thought is that we have a rule that says if a game is unexpectedly cancelled and is NOT replayed, the final fantasy scores stand as is. It obviously sucks for those who have players in those games, but barring some sort of substitution rule (for example, your highest bench player that qualifies for the position gets the points), it's probably the fairest way to go. But obviously, I'd love to hear what you all think.

I've spoken to both Pain of Mind and Thom and the Heads and while the situation is really weird and odd, I'm proud to announce that BOTH teams are co-champions for Season 14 of the 20 Team league! Congratulations to both of them! Please let me know if you want the 20 team championship gang tag, and if so, I will ask. I'm not sure if I can set it up that way for ESPN but in the official hall of records, I'll make the adjustments.

But obviously, I'd love to hear what you all think. Trying to avoid a situation where someone just gets blown out if they have 4 players in a cancelled game - What if the win projection is anywhere between 5-95% (or whatever people decide) it is a draw, while if it is outside of that the favored team wins? Figure a p=value of 0.05 or lower (essentially a 5% or less chance at the event happening randomly) is generally what is seen as significant scientifically, so why not just apply that here. Alternatively, you could always replace the projection with the players average/median games or whatever if we don't trust ESPNs projection calculations. Figure it is such an unlikely event odds are it will not come up again, so it is not like we are going to need to be cranking away in the math mines every year (plus it would take literally 30 seconds in the slim chance it happens). If that is the case and the game is stopped mid-progress, you might as well pro-rate any projected points that were scored. I see that ESPN wiped the points from the game since it was cancelled, if I had Boyd and was down by 1 it would be kind of annoying to have gone from literally won during the game as it was played to lost by the points just getting deleted afterwards.

Congrats 20-team winners! Kinda makes sense for a league double the size to have twice as many champions anyway right?

I like stuff like this. Using the concept of the p-value and … parametric statistics. The way this fantasy year ended should cause a mass exodus of fantasy players. But, we all know it won’t. I sure won’t be gone. I’m a sucker. Congrats to the winners. Namath UP!!!!!

I was ready to quit fantasy football (outside of this league) because of the money league I was in with the attached team, but the commissioner went with a split in my team's favor from the projections rather than the final points  CeeDee Lamb is my loving hero, him going off last week helped squeak out a win against the #1 seed

Did we used to use GroupMe for our communications? I had to download it recently for kids soccer team communications and in my contacts were a bunch of old school people from this league. I do not remember using it.

Aaron Rodgers has been a top 5 fantasy QB for a while now. But does anyone really trust the output of the QB of the New York Jets?

Going to bump this in anticipation of starting a new Season 15 thread at the end of June. If anyone not in this league wants to get on the waitlist, let us know as it's always a blast. If anyone has a good season 15 thread title, please feel free to suggest one. For season 15, here are the proposals.  Don't vote on them now, we will vote in next year's thread. - PROPOSALS FOR SEASON 15 (simple majority wins) 1. Remove the TE slot and replace it with a flex position (yes/no) 2. Trades will need (2 days/8 veto votes, 1 day/8 veto votes, instant/no veto votes) to process. 3. Remove the punter position (yes/no) 4. Revert to standard ESPN defense scoring (example here) (yes/no) 5. Remove DST and add one IDP position in its place. (yes/no) 6. If a game is unexpectedly cancelled and is NOT replayed, the final fantasy scores stand as is. (yes/no) 7. If #4 passes, eliminate negative points in the D/ST position (but keep all other standard scoring). (yes/no) 8. Remove DST, add nothing to replace it (yes/no) If you have a legit proposal that you want to have us vote on in next year's thread, please add it below with Vote Proposal: I propose we.... I'll probably start a new thread at the end of June like this one was, so there's no rush, but just wanted to give all of you a heads up. See you all soon!

And here I was going to suggest we add a flex DST spot so we can start a second kicker / punter / DST (a total of 4 with 1 of each) I'm not sure if I'm joking or not
