Hey guys,
Did we pick a date for this year's draft last year? If so, let me know ASAP.

Any other team name changes, fellas? This would be the time to get them in to me... I especially ask because, as I am continuing to update the league web site, I am noticing some defunct team names like, say, "The Brady Bunch", which is now Bradyless.  Anyway, let me know...

Also, I have a little extra time this weekend and finally, after over a decade, am willing to change those "funky" passwords you all have for the lineups submission section to whatever you want. So, if you want your lineups submission password changed, preferably just pop me a private message right here on "the Gridiron" with what you want as your new password. Thank you!

EVERYTHING IS A GO, FELLAZ!!! The league site is all updated for the new 2011 season! "Standings" and "Results" pages have been reset, and the "Lineups" section is ready to roll for Week 1. I even made a couple small improvements/fixes.  If you put in for password changes, they have been made. Test to make sure, though. Don't leave things to the last minute, please. Alright,... ENJOY!!! Here we go...

Guys, I just realized something today, and I have been fretting over how to communicate it without inappropriately divulging information. But, as commish, I feel obliged to express it, and I will do my level-best to be as generic about my explanation as possible...
Remember that in the GBRFL (as with CBSSportsline, who is our stats provider) players are rostered according to the position at which they are officially listed, even though they may be listed on their team's depth chart at different positions and, perhaps, even higher (and more likely to play at) those other positions than their officially listed position! It is just one of those slip-through-the-cracks-type situations, but it is not new. We have dealt with this before.
Comprende? Please, for the sake of avoiding inappropriate divulging of free-agent information, do not respond to this with any specifics here. Thank you!

We are going into Saturday, the last day I receive snail mail before kickoff Sunday, and there remain a few pending league fees. The league fee is $50.00 (+ gratuity). 
Unless it arrives with tomorrow's mail, you will have to pay via the site donations link, http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/donate.htm, if you want to avoid penalty. Remember the penalty for not getting your league fee in on time is not all too stiff: you just cannot pick up free-agents until your payment has arrived. You can, however, make lineup changes (and I even allow you to make trades as long as your trading partner is someone who has made his payment).
I unfortunately cannot make exceptions to this. Again, the due date is always a known; fair warning is given; multiple and immediate options of payment are available, and the penalty is not that bad. I have enforced this strictly in the past, and it would not be fair to make exceptions. If you have already sent a check and it does not arrive tomorrow, you can pay by PayPal or credit/debit card via the donations link and I will, of course, tear up your check when I receive it. I have done this before.
Alright, Over and Out,
Steg

This is a note to all, but especially Dr. Danny's Week 4 opponents (Mark and Joe)... Note Danny's qualifying comment about his Week 4 lineup from the "Comments" section of his lineup submission: "Line up one is for Parsons and lineup 2 is for Hahn". As the rest of you know, THIS IS BASS-ACKWARDS! Per the "Schedule" page, Danny's "first game" this week is against Mark and his second "bonus game" is against Joe, and that is how it is supposed to line up vis-a-vis the twofold lineups submission form. Leave it to "Dr." Danny to be the first person not to get this right in the umpteen years of this set-up.  Anyway, that having been said, his "elucidation" is duly acknowledged and will/should be honored.

Again, "Dr." Danny, resident "chiroquackter", has screwed this up. In the comments section, he specifies which lineup is supposed to be used against whom and in so doing has got it bass-ackwards. Of course, like the existence of handicapped parking spots, ramps to building entrances, audible crosswalk signals and such, Danny's "deficiencies" will be accommodated. Mind you, the venerable doctor is the ONLY ONE of us who cannot figure this out. I am going to try to type this slowly now... The TOP lineup that you input is for the game listed as your FIRST game of the week per the "Schedule" page (for you, Danny, that would be 2 vs. 10, your game against me) and the BOTTOM lineup is the for the game listed as your SECOND game of the week, your BONUS game (for you, Danny, that would be 4 vs. 10, your game against Mark). For your convenience this is color-coded on the "Schedule" page and thoroughly explained on the lineup submission form web page. ...  Oops... I meant RIF...  And, by that, "Dr." Danny, I did not mean Reading Is Fucked!

Unsolicited opinion......the comments should not override the 'rules'. Top line up is first game and bottom is the second game. One warning should be enough. |

I do have to say - and, in all sincerity, this is why I love him and he has been my good friend for 22 years - Danny does step up to the plate, take his lumps and readily admit his errors, and all in good nature mind you. That last part is, indeed, something I myself could use some work on.
In terms of the "rules", Danny's intent is revealed in the "Comments" section and clearly so. I find that there is no good reason not to honor the clearly stated intention of his "comments" other than spite and/or an inability to use good judgment and employing rules in a hard-and-fast way or, should I say, as a hard-and-fast way to avoid making (the) judgment calls (life is full of). I digress,  but our immediately deferential disposition to the Law in America has retarded our ethical sense, our sense of being ethical decision-makers and our sense to know where the (admittedly) fine line is that should not be crossed (that fine line is simply the "gray" that we have all been indoctrinated into believing the acceptance of which will lead us to the promised land beyond "black and white thinking", except our education in it has been situated in, instead of a framework of self-reflection and interpersonal attention, a retarding setting of moral relativism fueled by the "culture of ME" so that we do not even know what the hell we are talking about when we talk about the problems of "black and white thinking" beyond some cockamamie slogan about "the gray"). Alright, I will step down off my soap box...
