Thanks! Before the week, I would have guessed that TBW would have won, but I didn't have a chance to complete all of my "voting." I just compared your calls for each match-up to see if I agreed and noticed that the Isolans weren't completely out of it. It also looks like having a DEF on the line for the Monday night game is a good things since they may try harder (or less likely to make mistakes) for a national broadcast.

Another comment to the Week 10 games, Mysti's Marvels may be in trouble this week since Tom Brady and the Pats have their bye week and so does the Marvel's backup QB! Can she still pull out a win with no QB?

I also noticed that we have five teams at 4-5, and fighting for the last couple of play off spots. But four of those teams have absent managers and it's amazing that they've done as well as they did without adjusting for byes and injured players!

I have a question, there is a noticed that trading ends on November 16. Is that just between managers or also trading fro FAs or Waivers? Could that be changed? With managers who aren't "playing" that in effect "locks" 14 players per team from ever being available and with another manager being a "spoiler" things could get even more difficult to adjust for injuries in the remaining part of the season. It may make sense to not allow trading once the playoffs start, but why stop it before that?

As a rule we stop all trading with the playoff just to make sure a team that has no chance to do anything doesn't trade his best player to a “friend” so that friend has a better chance to win the super bowl. If you all want to put it to a vote, and if 75% of the peeps want to do away with that rule I would consider changing it. Another thought would be starting a new league for just the teams that made it to the playoffs, have a new draft and have two FF games going? Does that sound interesting to anyone?

OK. I understand stopping trading for the playoffs, but the trading deadline date posted on the settings page is November 16. That was what I was questioning...
If the trading was to stop for "our" playoffs" I would have expected a trading deadline of December 3 (the last game for Week 13...)

A second league could be interesting, but I'm not sure that I'm quite ready for two at once. ;\) Besides there is still the possibility that one of our "non-playing" managers may make the playoffs. ;\)

I see what you are getting at, but it is still there for the reasons I stated. Around the 16th there still are a lot of teams that could make it to the playoffs so they will not want to take the risk. After the 18th there probably be fewer and that is when some trades might look better, as the teams out for sure will have nothing to lose to give up there good players for players that don't score anything. It's just there to make it fair. I've seen friends trade to great players cuz they were out of the playoff for two players that scored half the points they gave up.

But again, the league owners want to drop this rule, I will consider it. \:\)

What do you think junoir? Think I have a chance?

I figure this to be my last horrah.
The fact that two teams tied leaves me no playoff spot.

And if Adrian Peterson is out for any considerable amount of time then I see daddy getting picked off early in the playoffs and either Isolans or Eye's Exterminator's sneaking in the backdoor and winning the whole thing.

kittenangel, you amy want to look at the Game Day Decsion tabl and the Fantasy Matchup otpion. There is often advice on each player and how well they will do for fantasy points. I haven't yet compared how well the advise lives up to my final choices, but since I don't follow all of the football drtails it's been helping me.
