I really have no idea why I am even submitting a line up this week. After last weeks shenanigans it has become abundantly clear that our commissioner is corrupt, or at least jaded enough to tip the scales far enough in his favor to not make it look blatant.
I get it, Chocolate Thunder isn't really participating and is letting some good players rot in anonymity. I for one would be fine with helping him along, but to reshuffle the line up, not charge a penalty for failure to submit a lineup, and to do it against the team that to date appears to be your biggest threat, is just total bullshit. I could understand it if you use his current group of players, or shuffle the line up and apply the penalty for not submitting it on time, or asking the group as a whole if it is ok to step in, but to just take over without consequence is crap.
I play in this league because it seems that if you know your stuff and stick it out you have a chance to win it. But if that isn't the case (which recent actions seem to suggest) then fuck it I will ask for my money back and spend it elsewhere.
My roster submittal was one minute late, I fully expect a penalty. If I do get a penalty then I expect that penalty to be reciprocated for previous weeks, such as last week. If I don't get a penalty that makes sense as rules don't seem to matter much in this league.
Maybe I should have just not submitted a line up and let the commissioner do it for me, could of got me some new players too.
Oh give me a break... You're acting like I picked up a bunch of globetrotters for Chocolate Thunder and stole a win right out from under you. None of the guys I picked up even scored 20+ points. You would've lost to 9 of of other 11 teams in the league last week, so maybe you should look in the mirror instead of pointing fingers.
And while you may think my actions as commissioner are unfair, I would've done the same thing regardless of Chocolate Thunder's opponent. When I make executive decisions, any impact on The Phoggy Doggs has nothing to do with it. To me, it would be unfair for some teams to win by default and others have to actually compete against a team.
So get over yourself, make the playoffs and quit making excuses. And don't threaten to quit, you sound like a Mizzou fan threatening to go to the Big Ten. One embarrassing loss isn't going to make a difference in the grand scheme of things.
