Willie, your email starts with 'sph' doesn't it? Need to make sure I'm allocating winnings to the right person.

The email I started using for this forum is w1stroker at yahoo.

But yes, the leaguesafe account may have been set up with an email that begins with those three letters.

No problem

Even as I leave empty-handed for the 2nd straight year, I had a lot of fun. Looking forward to making some changes next season and it being even better.

I sent everyone a closing email fyi - please go to Leaguesafe and vote to approve the payout allocation. Congrats to the winners.

I did. But then again luck has been on my side throughout my life.

By the way, was luck the reason you didn't start a QB?

I didn't realize I had one on my bench.

I was watching the game with some friends and we were all hoping Matt Ryan would stroke out. When there was like 10 mins left in the game I was like, "MF... if only I would have started a qb. Let me just check and see if there's one on my bench. Oh. Hello, Matt Moore who threw for three touchdowns."

I tried to laugh about it but it totally ruined the rest of the night for me. I'm a dumbass who doesn't deserve to win. :(

Thank you league. I could not have achieved such success without the incompetence of each and every one of you. I vote for Yahoo! next year, although I'd understand if you guys didn't want me to play next year.

feel free to friend me on facebook.

I think the league champion should be the commissioner for the next year.

I also think cubbies has a great idea and we should vote some people of the polifantasy island.

Well, seeing as Grif (I don't think) didn't participate all year, that would seem an easy choice.

Unfortunately, TROLA has been starting bye and injured players for several weeks, but we was very active our first year.

Everyone else was pretty active.

CFBR has said he wants back in, so he could replace grif. I like having 14 teams, and I don't think we'll have a problem filling them. But 1 less starting roster spot and 1 less bench spot will make a big difference imo.

Also, I don't want to do divisions this year. We basically only played a team from the other division once or twice the entire season. That was dumb and an oversight on my part. Of course, I blame Yahoo.

I've never had anything but 14-16 until one league this year, so I don't care either way.

That adds 14 players to the wire. You think that is significant enough? And not sure I understand why to drop a starting spot. Can't you just allow a QB or TE in the flex instead of eliminating it entirely?

I'm ok with that.

I'm sure Beam won't care. I declined my turn this year.

If we drop a starting roster spot and a bench spot, then that's 28 players added to the wire.

The reason I would like to go with 4 WR/RB slots, rather than our current 5 is that the weekly decisions of who to start is too easy. No one really has to decide between weekly starters, b/c most people don't have enough viable choices on their roster. That takes some of the fun out of it imo.

We currently have RB, RB, WR, WR, RB/WR

I propose going to RB, WR, RB/WR, RB/WR/TE, with 1 less bench spot (2 less roster spots total per team)

This puts 28 extra players on the wire, and opening up the last flex position to TEs gives even more flexibility.

To me, fantasy football is about rooting for the stars to have big games, not praying the Seahawks' 4th WR is going to catch a TD pass once every 6 games. Just my .02 - obviously this is open to debate.
