The lesson, apparently not learned, is that a good commish makes the league that suits the members and not according to their own personal likes or dislikes. There is absolutely no reason that the scoring system and team or IDP defense should not be put to a vote of the members.

Man, Launchies RBs are eating me for breakfast. 131 yards and a TD on 9 carries? And 171 yards on 33 carries? From Ladell Betts and Fred Taylor? Are you kidding me?? Posts: 2054 | Registered: Nov 2005

Despite steam rolling everyone left and right, I've now puked up a pair of losses in the last three or four games and am ready to collapse in the playoffs as per always. God it's frustrating, first place the entire year essentially than flush it the last week of the season.
So where is this choke I keep hearing about? If I beat you in the championship does that mean that you choked?
Incidentally, I felt not so much steam rolled in week 6 as defenceless. Specifically my Ravens/Bears defence was on vacation. I believe it was my only loss.
How about starting Grossman and Clark off waivers for a playoff game?
I might as well boast now because I have NO IDEA who to start this week. Certainly not Rex with the Bears all clinched up...

It's coming tomorrow night. This is my fifth year of playing and I've had a top seed twice, and a top 2 seed 3 times, and made the playoffs all five years. Always choked every single year. Like clockwork. I anticipate it happening again. I'm a glass is half empty kind of guy when it comes to this stuff.

Congratulations! You are going to have to find a new name now. And after suffering so much disappointment, I am glad it was you to beat me. Notice that I didn't claim to have choked as that would just cheapen your victory.
And thanks to everyone for a good year and to Jay for all his efforts.
I will say that yahoo sucks however. On ESPN free leagues can continue from year to year keeping their history. It would be nice to have that sort of stability to the league. Also, scores come up right after the game, no waiting till the next day. And no major screwups like being able to start Colston as a TE.

We could consider it next year. As long as no one else objects I will volunteer to admin this next year. I would suggest keeping the IDP, but using a conventional scoring system.
I wasn't sure about drafting individual defensive players, but I found I liked it a lot.
The scoring still sucked though, as did the system on who made the playoffs. If someone (not just me, but anyone) ties with a player they had beat head-to-head, the player who won that week should advance.

Congrats to The Choking Paradigm, Whipsmarts, and Sopwith's Snipes for their victories. And thanks for letting me join you in this league. I had a lot of fun playing with everybody. Posts: 871 | Registered: Jul 2006

I had three (or four) of the top defenders (at least in interceptions...Woodson, Samuel, Asomugha, and I think I had Mathis as well), plus Alexander, Gates, Rivers, Coles, Bruce, and Rackers AND Stover....and I didn't even make the playoffs.
I also let Driver go, because I though Favre was done.
Very, very weird system.
Of course, Alexander sucked as well....to think, I could have taken LT. Or anyone other than Alexander, really. Posts: 15082 | Registered: Jul 2001

Figures, the year I finally don't choke, is the year everyone wanted to choke the life out of the point scoring system . Congrats on a great season everybody and hopefully lets create a bit of a smoother system next year. I like the idea of IDP's, just think the scoring system should be fixed.

Congrats on the season. I'm mighty surprised to get third place.
I agree with keeping IDPs, but I would like to go back to the standard scoring system.
On a note of the fairness of the scoring system: while it was weird, it did apply evenly to all teams. However, I believe something that convoluted lends itself to exploitation over the long haul. The simplicity of the standard system makes a more level playing field for both the experienced and the neophyte. Some of us just aren't stats people.
