Heyas, guys... Ugh... Forgot to turn over the lineup section last night. (FYI, I need to be reminded about this heading into Tuesdays.) I will get on it a.s.a.p., but that will not be until I get home this evening, for all intents and purposes when most of you wake up in the morning. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

I am going to make a suggestion here in all seriousness... because I know that there are some, at least one, here who could make it happen. I have been organizing leagues for 30 years, running our beloved GBRFL the last 26, the league website for 19 years and then this site for the last 16. Point being, I have the resume. Meanwhile, I have charged the same league fee of $50 for over 20 years now. Most send me more, quite a bit more in some cases, but I really do not make anything off this. There is a little scratch I can keep for myself from year to year. But, make no mistakes... This is a job.
Thing is, I am at critical professional and personal crossroads, of which most of you are more or less in the know, and I do not see its letting up any year soon. I think we are going to get stuck in Hawaii. In fact, Gino and I have decided for me to ease up on the job hunt, which has been debilitating, and take a different tack, at least for the near term. Indeed, adjustments have to be made to accommodate the reality that we are going to be stuck in a place where the cost of living is absolutely crushing.
On the flip side, it just so happens that my line of work and my specific circumstances at this juncture realistically afford me some flexibility. That said, as a full-time adjunct professor in the UH system, I am on pace to teach an ungodly 12 to 13 (3-credit) classes this academic year, and I see no let up in that brutal pace as long as I remain in Hawaii and working as an adjunct.
Meanwhile, would you like results posted and the lineups section religiously turned over on Tuesdays? Would you like lineups revealed immediately upon kickoff on Thursdays and transactions processed promptly thereafter? Would you like to see the plaques get done and go out more promptly? No promises in what follows, but there are possibilities... Would you like to see upgrades to the league website and spreadsheet? While my computer and code-hacking skills, which were at a peak back around 2002 to 2007, are not what they used to be, there are some things that I want to do (and learn how to do) that, as things stand, just cannot get off the far back burner. Would you like to see upgrades here and some life breathed back into "the Gridiron @FantasyFootballer.com"? Get a writing staff again! Bring back the GBRFL2? Bottom line, would you like, at least during the late summer and through the NFL season a FULLY dedicated league commissioner and website administrator?
Is it possible? Yes, if I teach just three classes in the fall, and indeed I can go to the department chairs at Leeward and Windward and tell them to schedule me for only three classes next fall, moreover, at times optimal vis-à-vis doing fantasy-football stuff. In that case I would still be eligible for benefits, and with enrollment down across the board these days and many adjunct professorial mouths to feed, they would to some degree welcome it themselves, and I would absolutely welcome the prospect of a little less time in the classroom (as I am getting gassed with no end in sight). THING IS, not that I do not think my efforts in this realm are worth it (indeed, I think they are), but, that aside, this would not be about paying me based on hours logged or what you think doing this stuff is worth. It would be about making up the difference in what I would be giving up in salary, and I make roughly $7,000 per (3-credit) class. I would be giving up at least one, in all likelihood two, and possibly three classes. Ultimately, I would be willing to split the difference between a loss of one and two classes. THAT would give you all the smoother GBRFL experience many of you are yearning for. Only one thing  -- and relatively not even that much of it -- stands in the way of this reality,... like most great things or, at least, things we would like to see done. I am willing and, moreover, uniquely able given my profession to provide this.

I think that someone should respond to Steg's post. In my opinion, everyone in the league is (and has always been) very appreciative of Steg's efforts in setting up and running the league. The only possible expection is Feder (who is also appreciative and mostly F'ing with the commish from what I can tell).
I assume that everyone would agree with me that getting quicker results would be nice but we also understand that it is a time-consuming process. If someone wants the results immediately, they could process them on their own. I am sure that there are a number of guys who would also be willing/able to pitch in with the site should Steg wants some assistance. That seems to be a better option that giving up classes.

Yes, we are all appreciative and that is why I for one don't complain about not having results. Work and family are the priorities for all of us. We all have issues with work and I for recognize how much work updating all of the rosters, transactions, and results takes.
If I can assist with admin side, I would be happy to.

Good job, Joe! 
Along these lines, I have gone ahead and updated the "Rosters" pages on the GBRFL site! Enjoy...

Well, fellas, except for the lineup submissions section, the GBRFL website, is fully updated for the 2019-2020 season!!! The sections/pages that were updated today are: "Results", "Standings" and even the "History" page as well as a small update on the league home page. On the note of league history, we have some owners hitting some milestones in their FF "careers": Dave Trout is entering his 35th year; Frank Gonzalez, his 30th; Steve Warner and Joe Parsons are both in their 25th years!!!  That is some SERIOUS experience. Altogether, we have got a TOTAL of 268 YEARS of fantasy-football experience!!!

Alright, fellas, lots of important notes here as we head into Week 1...
1) Remember to submit your lineups by the scheduled kickoff of the Thursday night game, which is 8:20 p.m. (ET)!
2) If you want to change the name of your team, the sooner the better, please! With every passing week, it only becomes more work.
3) Until or unless I advise otherwise, do NOT pay your league fee by credit card (which has been my preferred method). I do NOT at present have a credit-card processor (long story, but I went through a nightmare last year, not so much due to the company with which I was working, but with changing laws as regards fantasy football, in general, in Hawaii, specifically -- bottom line, I did not receive ANY of you all's payments that were made by credit card last year until midway through January... ugh)! That said, you may have noticed by visiting the "Site Donors" thread on "the Sidelines" that Joe has already paid his league fee (with a little added -- thank you, Joe). He just sent me a check. If you want to do that, pop me a message requesting my home address, preferably right here on "the Gridiron" via private message. The alternative is to send it through PayPal to theGridiron@FantasyFootballer.com.
4) Last, but definitely not least, the "Lineup Submission" section at the league website is LIVE! You can go ahead and get to submitting your Week 1 lineups at will...

For some reason, the line up submission page is not currently working. And while I will retry later, I sent in a temp line up as well just in case.
I notified Steg and I am sure he will take a look at it when he can. If for some reason this is the only time in the next two days, be sure to send it to Steg via PM, text, etc.
Otherwise, be patient!

Okay... Things had been working. Several of us had successfully input lineups. I just went in to tinker with things "behind the scenes", though, and ran into trouble. And, now, when I went to submit another test lineup, I too am getting the error message. I am guessing we are all going to run into trouble now. So, everybody, just hang in there. I got to get a trouble ticket in to tech support. They may get it rectified overnight (my time), so you are welcome to give it a try. But, if no go, just remain calm for the time being, and wait for the update from me.
