Maverick mentioned this may be looked at as not being fair if I undo what Tom did.

You guys work it out and I will abide by whatever decision you all make.

I had a post typed up yesterday, but decided not to post it. However, after seeing Pistol clearly has an issue with this, I'll post my thoughts - can't make it too long because I'm at work:

Reversing Tom's mistake of dropping Langford is not fair. Simple as that. I understand Tom had no intention of dropping Langford, but he did. There were no extenuating circumstances here. As Pistol pointed out, you even get a confirmation screen to confirm the transaction. The commish is doing a favor for an owner after the owner made a mistake. That type of scenario has the potential to evolve into something ugly especially when there is money involved.

Having said that, Tom's a longtime owner here, he's always been fair, and this is an isolated occurrence. I'm not going to call for Sandman to reverse this, but we need a rule in place for next season to prevent this from happening again.

Look, I'm not trying to get away with anything here. I made a mistake when making a claim, brought it to the commissioner's attention as soon as I realized it, and he corrected the mistake. In my mind, and I've been a league commissioner before both here and elsewhere, this is exactly what a league commissioner is for.

Should we have made Brian pay $89 during the draft?

If a majority of owners disagrees with the move, reverse the correction. I'll live with it.

I'm OK with the reverse as we have corrected mistakes in the past ($89). I would say in general it is a PIA for the commissioner to do this so hopefully it stays minimized.

I actually brought that up to Sandman, but he said they're not the same. I guess I'd agree.

Just be more careful in the future. I expect better of you, Thomas.

I probably won't be making any more waiver claims on my phone at midnight, for what that's worth.

If the $89 had been an error of judgement, the bidder would have to live with it. When it's fat-fingering your keyboard when you're in a rush, that's an honest mistake that can be easily remedied - and should be.

In my case, I fat-fingered my phone.

I wasn't here for the draft so I have no idea about that. I am a little baffled that the roster switch was even considered. In every other league I have been in it's not even a question. Everyone else just laughs and points and hopes their next in line to capitalize from the the screwup.

My opinion should probably matter the least though. If I limp into the playoffs, and cash somehow, my winnings are going to a great charity called Project Healing Waters. Then I am going to step away from FF for a bit.

So since the league is in a charitable mood consider throwing for a good cause...

Oh, you missed a good one during the draft. Bryan inadvertently bid $89 on someone (Todd Gurley?) when the prior bid was $7 or $8. It was pretty obvious he was trying to bid $8 but someone beat him to it. When he tried to bid $9, he ended up bidding $89. It was quite the ordeal while the commish figured out how to pause the draft and correct the bid.

This reminds me of the old Adrian Peterson (RB-CHI) auction trick. Someone would nominate "the other" Adrian Peterson and hope that some fool placed some crazy bid thinking it was the real Adrian Peterson. Made for some very funny mock drafts. People lost their minds. Anyone else remember that?

Don't forget Tom and I have slept together, so there is that to consider.

Honestly I didn't think twice about doing it, but after consideration I guess it could be an issue for some. I'm waiting for 89 to chime in. I'm curious what his thoughts are....

Being the newest, or tied for newest, in this league my opinion means nothing. However, being the idiot I am I will comment on it. From where I stand I don't see this as a big deal. The owner spoke up and the commish took action. It's not like he waited a few days to see what kind of news came out about the players etc. Now, I am a commish in a few leagues and we have all been together for a long time. It would absolutely not happen in those leagues. Like the other owner said; we'd laugh at them. Someone would reap the benefits of someone's mistake etc. etc. etc. However, I think a case can be made due to the sincerity of the mistake and the swiftness of the actions taken by both the owner and commissioner. I would also agree, however, that a rule should be in place that no reversals of add/drops should ever be considered from here on out. I would also say that the only exception would be the 89$ type situation. It's not logical to think that someone would jump from 7 to 8 to 89$ on a bid. If that person speaks up and it can be corrected I think it should if it was as obvious as the 89$ mistake. I don't think add/drop corrections should be considered anymore though. IMHO, FWIW.

I agree that if I had waited any time at all that the legitimacy of my request would suffer dramatically.

I don't see how having a mistake corrected by the commissioner is an issue so long as 1) the owner that makes the mistake notifies the league immediately and 2) it is in fact an honest mistake and not an error of judgement (like some kind of retroactive sit/start decision). I believe this no matter what the mistake might be.

First off your an owner in this league and your opinion counts just as much as anyone else.

And I tend to agree now that this has come up. The 89.00 thing would have all but ruined Bryan's season and we all knew it was a major mistake that could have happened to anyone trying to quickly outbid another owner.

I like to take the common sense approach and if there is any doubt, even a little, then the owner is stuck with his dumb ass mistake. But again I'll do whatever the consensus thinks...

I completely disagree with that. Mistakes are part of the game, and I don't think free passes should be handed out..... Leaves way too many doors open for people to blur the lines.

I don't think it is an honest mistake if you don't read the confirmation screens you are given before clicking the button twice. It is a stupid mistake that you should be penalized for. That's part of what makes it fun.... Not all this patty cake, taksies backsies shit.

Thanks. I'm not throwing a tantrum here and wouldn't even if the majority of GMs disagreed with your decision to correct my error.

None of the players involved have played a game yet so I guess there's still time for more GMs to chime in.

Your handling of the situation is pretty much exactly how I would have handled it were our roles reversed.

That is not what caused you to drop the player though. You had an opportunity to correct the mistake had you bothered to look at what you were doing. Then the waiver claim sat there at the top of your team page giving you another chance to see the error.

That is what the two step verification is for. Saying you dropped the player because of a click error is 100% false. You VERIFIED the click error.

You are correct, though I did this late Tuesday night and the "sat there at the top of your team page" was for a couple of hours while I was asleep.

I created three claims:

1. DROP v. Davis ADD J. Thomas

2. DROP Jordan Matthews (er, Jeremy Langford) ADD D. Inman

3. DROP Jordan Matthews ADD K. Aiken

Note that Jeremy and Jordan are both 6 letters, start with J and have an R as the third character.

Also that Matthews and Langford are also both 8 characters.

Tiny phone screen. Late at night.

I'm sorry this is bothering you so much. It was an honest mistake, I brought it to the attention of the league immediately, and the commissioner gracefully accepted my explanation and corrected the error. A few other GMs have raised some eyebrows, but none seem as bothered by it as you. I don't know what else to say at this point.

You are correct, though I did this late Tuesday night and the "sat there at the top of your team page" was for a couple of hours while I was asleep.

I created three claims:
1. DROP v. Davis ADD J. Thomas
2. DROP Jordan Matthews (er, Jeremy Langford) ADD D. Inman
3. DROP Jordan Matthews ADD K. Aiken

Note that Jeremy and Jordan are both 6 letters, start with J and have an R as the third character.
Also that Matthews and Langford are also both 8 characters.
Tiny phone screen. Late at night.

That is not what caused you to drop the player though. You had an opportunity to correct the mistake had you bothered to look at what you were doing. Then the waiver claim sat there at the top of your team page giving you another chance to see the error.

That is what the two step verification is for. Saying you dropped the player because of a click error is 100% false. You VERIFIED the click error.

You trying to explain it away as something it is not is what is bothering me.

Either it was intentional and I'm asking out of regret, or it was unintentional and therefore a mistake.

I guess we just differ on what "it" is.

On a lighter note, it appears as though I'm going to get my ass handed to me this week by H.U.D.S.

Did I just win 6 games in a row and go from last to first? I blacked out, what happened?

I think that might be exactly what happened.

From last place to first round bye. I'll take it.

Wow. That's quite the run. GL to everyone in the playoffs.

I'm in the classic league playoffs. My hope for cash money prize lies there!

Well that was an interesting finish to week 14.

Week 15 is looking like:

Championship Bracket

HUDS vs. $89
Dophins vs. Tards
Dingleberries vs. Touchdown

Unless I read that wrong.

That looks right to me. Everybody is done - no MNF players on any of the teams playing each other this week.

Good luck to all this week.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours.

It's looking like our top two playoff seeds are going to face off for the championship while Captain $89 and I square off to see which of us can earn our entry fee.

In my other league my day started off horribly - started Amendola over D-Jax and Golden Tate. Amendola puts up -1.7 and leaves the game. But the day ended nicely with A. Brown & Osweiler going crazy and earning me a spot in the title game.

Only one more weekend...

Yep... Unless Prater puts up 11.59 points, and Tate throws up a goose-egg. It looks like it'll be Ghostfly's Dolphins vs. me for the Championship.

Like you said, one more week. This has been a really fast season.

It's not impossible - I did get almost -2 from Amendola yesterday in my other league. But it seems highly unlikely that I will get a win here this week.

Any way to grab and post standings for the last 3 or 4 years? I think it would be interesting to reflect on the outcome.

True but really I meant that you were a good owner who managed each week, didn't do anything stupid like leave a position vacant due to a bye, etc..and actually was competitive.

Inappreciate it. Look forward to doing this again next year. I already have my keepers picked out, and a strategy for next year.

Has the payout for 1st been established? I'm not sure what "MO fees" are, but that was mentioned in the beginning.
