re: Please explain to me how this is not collusion

What time did he text? That's all that matters.

This is one of the clearest situations of collusion I've heard of.
This (or something like this) is probably what happened:

1. Dad had Hightower and thought he was basically useless so he decides to drop him for the Denver handcuff. Maybe not the smartest move ever, but considering Hightower had 9 TOTAL POINTS prior to this week, it's not an unreasonable move.

2. Saints game starts, Ingram debacle happens, and Hightower starts to have a good game.

3. Dad either texts son (commish) or son texts Dad about regretting dropping Hightower now that it looks like he has an expanded role in the offense.

4. Dad and son decide to just put Hightower back on Dad's roster and hope no one notices.

5. People notice and they come up with this accident story.


I know the commish has been posting on here, so please tell me how I'm wrong and explain what happened. Show us text screenshots from before the Saints game. Give an actual explanation.

The bottom line is that, yes, people accidentally drop the wrong player sometimes, but when that player then goes off there is going to be a lot of scrutiny. If this wasn't collusion, the commish would have notified the entire league as soon as possible, explained the situation, recognized that it is suspicious timing, and told them of his decision or brought it to a vote. The mere fact that this was done without notifying the rest of the league is a clear indication that the two people knew it was wrong. Hightower should go back on the waiver wire and this league should get a new commissioner for the future.

Honestly if he can't understand why people are skeptical/want proof then he shouldn't be commish

ETA: I just checked my leagues GroupMe and at 12:31pm there is a post that says "Ingram benched... sucks."

So commish posted the time I looks like the text came out at 12:35 during the game.

He said 12:40 was when they finally figured how to put him back on a roster

He said it was "about an hour" from 11:07 to when he was texted from the 50 year old? Is it really his dad?

Yea no way that should allowed

texts say? It is also possible that he looked at his bench after Hightower started getting carries to see how he was doing and noticed. I think a lot can be determined by the text conversation that was had, to see if the commissioner tried coverin

That doesn't matter. You can't differentiate at that point. It's unfair to the league. You just don't know the intentions and it's better to leave it alone .

Sound to me like the Commish is a vagina unfit for running a league.

New information definitely looks bad for commish. I think it should be reversed, and commish may need to be removed from his position. Keep us updated.
