  • Reasons are not necessary. Since you requested at an inopportune time, I looked at your reason to see if the situation was so bad that it justified changing the schedule for the rest of the league. It did not.

    You didn't "need" to sign 2 WRs and release 1. You "wanted" to. Even saying that, you should have been fine if you did it right. Unless your offers weren't accepted, you shouldn't have "lost" anyone. And if we had a midweek, they still would've been rejected if that's the case. I'm sorry you feel "screwed", but if you dropped a WR and signed 2 the only thing this would've "screwed" you out of is setting your WR depth chart for 1 preseason game. Hardly a big deal.

    I'm not sure what was frustrating about the PM route. Had you said, "I'm picking up WR1 and WR2. Please put them in my depth chart at WR1 and WR2. Or REX my depth charts. Or whatever." I would have done what you asked.

    Your historical analysis is flawed too. You missed the incident that Dawg pointed out. It also doesn't take into account when the midweeks were requested. If someone needed a 3rd QB or their backfield was a mess, it was because of injuries meaning games were already being played.

    I think that as you play more MP, you'll see this could have been done differently. And that this is very insignificant in the grand scheme. A FA WR before PS was probably not Jerry Rice. And whether it's true or not, feeling screwed over a free simulation league on the Internet isn't really worth it. It'll all be ok.

    • I supposed we are determine to beat a dead horse here.

      This was the PM I received

      I do not know what he was looking at, but I exported a file with only 3 receivers a a bunch of warnings. The latest file would have four receivers, because prior to exporting I had 4 receivers. Out of frustration, I imported again, and it was exactly what it was before I made the transactions. At this point, I was mad since I already spent way too much time the first time. I won't repeat what I did again from the last post.

      As I said, it is a slippery slope when you "decide" which is valid reasons which are not. perhaps with more experience, I can anticipate these problems.

      @ Hooper: I said my peace.

      • You're the one that decided to bring this up a week later and do a historical analysis. So I assume you mean "I" not "we".

        That PM was in response to yours that said you didn't have enough WRs. I looked in the game and saw that you did. What you failed to mention and I had no way of knowing until AFTER I import the files that owners submit, is that you dropped a WR putting you below the minimum. So my PM was perfectly valid. I can't read your mind. Had you said, "I dropped a WR and signed 2. Please put the in my depth chart." my response would've been "Ok".

        There's no slippery slope. Most other owners know how to handle this. You will too. You're making it into a WAY bigger deal than it is. Once again, sorry it's upsetting you so much. Nobody is out to get you. There is no conspiracy here.

        • It was only a chance discovery and I never thought it was personal. My concern was the decision. My apologies if you felt accused of such.
          It would also be more accurate to say I was frustrated, not "upset." Despite what you may think, I wasn't making an "emotional" argument.

          • Pike,

            i don't want to re-hash all that is said, but as a longtime member and former commish of this league, Hooper is 100% correct in all of his actions dealing with your request. You will most likely not find 1 person in this league that would go against what hooper has done. No other league really even does midweek files anymore. The midweek file was used in prior versions of the game when roster minimums were different and often times you could find yourself short AFTER a game.

              • Hey Pike I also asked for a mid week during the pre season and Hooper told me to go fly a kite.

                The reality is we're talking about fringe roster talent and these transaction really don't have much of any impact on the season.
