Guy in my league is 3-5 and desperate to turn his team around, and needs more consistency with RB. He sent me a text saying he wants CMC, but theres not really anyone on his team I want (I am currently 7-1 so I dont need to make any changes really).

He said I could bang his wife one time if I accept the trade and it goes through. Honestly, its pretty tempting since she has huge tits and Ive always fantasized about her.

Is it worth throwing my chances to win the ship out the window for a chance to bang his wife?

Like the title says, I won our championship for the first time this season. I’m owed $1,200 for the win.

I asked about payment a week after the championship and was called “poor”.

Commish won’t respond to texts and his buddies have defended him.

We are going on three weeks since our championship and still no payout. I also found out this dude is broke and has basically been living this rich real estate guy bullshit in Chicago while actually having to borrow money from friends.

Anything I can do? Should I send him a box of shit as a gift?

One guy has been inactive the whole season in our league, is 2-11. We already told him we're kicking him next season. Today he spent his $100 FAAB on Guerendo, fucking over many playoff-seeking teams in the process.

Dick move but honestly kind of hilarious

I had an 11-2 team. Was #1 seed and scored most points in my league by like 100. I was up 40 points in the first round of playoffs going into this week and then..

Tyreek didn’t play so I had to play my backup.

Pittman got hurt in the first half, did not return.

Bijan scored .4.

And now I lost to a 7-6 team that squeaked their way into the playoff the last week of the reg season, after they scored 150 this week and came back to win by 3 points.

I hate fantasy.

12 team league, I’ve been a member for 9 years. The league’s mostly made up of my buddy’s high school friends—I don’t know them well, but outside of the usual shit talking during the season we tend to keep things pretty cordial. This year, the quiet guy in the league stepped into the role of the commissioner (old commish had a baby, didn’t want to keep babysitting us), and things took a real nosedive. Constant message spamming, vetoing any trades that didn’t help him, you name it. Despite the mess, managed to eke out a win with Gibb’s performance on Monday (over the nightmare commish, no less).

Unfortunately, when I texted him to collect, I learned that he kidnapped my wife and kids, stole my identity, and fled the country. Now—our league has no EXPLICIT rules against kidnapping family members, but in the almost decade I’ve been playing it’s always been understood. I’ve texted the rest of the group, but they’re split 50-50 on whether he violated league rules. Feel like I can’t really press the issue as the odd man out in the group, but I lack the particular set of skills required to get them back on my own.

Threatening to drop out if I don’t get my family back. It’s a keeper league though, so if I do stay I need to decide: Worthy, AJB, Bucky, or Nabers?

This is a wonderful league rule of my own devising, and wanted to share it now given the numerous posts regarding jackasses that have yet to pay their league dues.

It’s as simple as this. You must have your dues paid by kickoff week 1, or I will force bench your QB and start Kaepernick in their place.

I added this rule after a horrible year of harassing friends for money, and it worked like a charm. The following year, one player got Kaepernicked. Since then, not a single person has even bothered to push it close.

With that being said, look out for the integrity of your league and add the Kaepernick rule with your commish powers. Pay your dues or get Kaepernicked.

edit: for everyone saying just require them before draft, this is just a silly rule in my league that never gets enforced because dues have always been paid on time. In the end, I get the cash and that’s all that matters

What gives?

This dude is going to destroy teams for 18 weeks and be getting 40 points on the regular.

I don’t care how broken your team is. These are your two best receivers. How are they not even being looked at? Especially in a game they could actually win. What the fuck is going on in Miami man.

Absolute horseshit. Nothing matters. All luck. Could have the best fucking team in the league but lost to a squad of scrubs week 1. Waste of fucking time. Every goddamn year.

F

Edit: some of you guys are taking this post way too seriously lol

For the second round of the playoffs I was paired up against a team that had Ja’marr Chase and Keenan Allen. I felt pretty good about my chances until I found out that the commissioner had traded Stefon Diggs and Joe Mixon to that team for almost nothing. What makes it worse is that that team is managed by his girlfriend. A couple weeks ago I asked the commissioner to extend the deadline but he said no and that teams were finalized. 2 weeks later he does this what should I do?

UPDATE:

Trade got reversed and the league has decided that the commissioner and his gf have to each do a 20 minute standup set at an open mic night

I dropped Pitts and now he’s going off I hate you all

It’ll be fun they said

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Maybe for the last time. With the commercials and always missing the ending of the last 4 o'clock game, the "last game standing", it's worth looking into other options. We missed and great endings this year

So I have had a horrible season, still looking for my first win and could get it here, week 13. I picked up Zach Moss off the waivers for $80. One manager, in first place with $91 left, bid with $75, accounting for I guess, the very active members only and not accounting for my budget of $80, I have also been very active every week making pickups so its not like I saw Moss and I was like, let me be a douche and get the hottest guy on the waivers. There are a few managers in the playoff race with their full $100 budget, including my brother is in second place, there just not that active on the waivers so he took his chances by not accounting for their budget.

So basically, there mad saying I have no reason to pick him up since I am out of contention, in which I said, I am playing to shift the playoff seeding (facing someone 6-6 right now) and also want my first win so I don't finish the season with a donut. It was also brought up that I'm colluding with my brother since he has good RB's already and he wouldn't need Moss since I suggested, why not tell my brother to bid $92 and get Moss if I wanted to collude with my brother? He has CMAC, Mostert, and Pacheco, I countered the good RB's point with he has Joshua Dobbs and Tyler Higbee on his bench which he could've easily dropped for Moss and have him for depth if anything and he could choose to flex Lockett/Godwin/Moss. Honestly I should've told him to pick him up tbh cuz im heated just writing this. They literally told me that I am in a stage where I should just set and forget but like wtf lol, why can't I play and go for a win. If this was done during playoffs then yea for sure, I have no reason to make this move, but it's still the regular season and it's crazy too because now they're saying "LOL $80 as an 0-12 tryna win one game GL" but I would get roasted if I finished the season with a donut so like idk.I guess the only thing I could see from the 1st place manager's POV is that he didn't account for my budget as in our league, you often can't trade with someone way out of playoff contention so he assumed I wouldn't go for Moss.

This is a $200 league with the bottom 2 seeds paying an extra $50. I have no chance to get out of the bottom 2 so my reasoning is I don't want a donut and I want to have fun and play and still try affecting the standings. The funny thing is, the $50 extra fee is so the bottom teams don't quit playing and now there mad at me for playing 🤣

I was also told its the "principal" making it seem like I cheated someone out on something, but like if it wasn't me picking him up, I would've told my brother to bid $92 and get him anyways lol there reasoning just doesn't make sense to me. Just adding more onto to this post at this point cuz I'm just getting more and more heated typing this out.

My psychic (Elrose) has been soliciting me fantasy football tips and ever since my team has been unstoppable. For context, it’s a 10 man league and my team has yet to drop less than 145 points. Just last week Elrose advised me to start RB Gus Edwards after my RB1 went down with an injury. I fear that Elrose’s advice might be an unfair advantage but I am too scared of my leaguemates disqualifying me.

I’m in a pretty big $ league, 600$. It’s been going on 6 years now but this year, commish added the first guy in league history, that doesn’t know everyone else. He only knows the commish. Or so we thought. So as the season goes on, commish and the new guy, up til now, have made 23 trades between the two. None of them are egregious but recently due to todays event, we started taking a deep dive into the trades.

They look like trades you would make to not appear like collusion, but every single trade, we all thought to ourselves; I would rather receive the players the commish is receiving. And toooons of the trades are like the commish giving away a player that is doing bad, then as soon as they start doing good, some trades happen and the player ends up back on commishs team. An example is AJB. Commish “traded” AJB to the “new guy” week 2 and today, he got AJB back for Raheem Mostert… who conveniently will regress hard due to achane coming back v soon. It’s always trades like this. Like it’s not egregious but clearly benefits commish.

So this trade finally stirred up an uproar in the group chat and we wanted to talk to the new guy. He talks now and then in our WhatsApp group chat but we searched him up on Facebook and can’t find him, or instagram. Commish tells us he’s not on social media. We then pressure him into showing us screenshots of his negotiations with the guy. He declined hard and says that’s a breech of their privacy.

I then make a pretty serious accusation. I ask him if the “new guy” is even a real person or is it just him again, playing two teams and colluding. He gets really mad and just says “this is fkin ridiculous, I’m not going to entertain this” and hasn’t said anything since then 6 hours ago while the entire league has been talking in it for like 500 messages. I have suspicions he’s crafting fake negotiations during this time and going to magically want to show us screenshots tomorrow.

Thoughts? Oh, obviously the new guy hasn’t made a single trade with anyone else and just ignores all trade requests and messages. And this is small detail I remembered today, during draft night, everyone was in a zoom call, all 11 of us but he “couldn’t join cause he was with family” (new guy)

I’m worried that because he cowardly just refused to engage today, he can easily get a friend or cousin to pretend to be the guy and coach him on what to say. And he can craft fake negotiations, but this is where I think we can catch him. The dates have to be on point and the times, lining up to each trade.

Commish is 7-1 New guy is 2-6

Update: I’ve never done this before so idk how to add an update:

I told commish that the number of the new guy we got, came up as a robo scam number when I googled it. He brushed it off, didn’t even reply to this at all and said that he will go to this “guys” house today and zoom us today after work.

Like, we’re gonna grill the fk out of them, but what worries me is the 6 hours he had yesterday just not responding at all. He could’ve coached someone or done anything during this time. And WhatsApp let’s you know if you swipe right on a message, whose seen it. During those 6 hours of inactivity, he would every 20 min or so, be reading our messages (while we were gathering evidence and noticing new inconsistencies)

Aaaaaand he’s not responding again

As of this post, the commishs team is Josh Allen, Breece Hall, Alvin Kamara, Saquon, AJB, Kirk, Laporta. Take wild guess on what week he acquired Kamara

“New guy” team Lamar Jackson, Raheem Mostert, D Henderson, Gibbs, Ridley, Tutu, D Adams, Everett

UPDATE 2: I have some pics but dunno how to upload here. Does this one work?

https://ibb.co/dpstdK2

PS. I know for 100% fact, commish is reading this thread so you can say hi. He is HUGE into this sub and the main one. This morning he actually subconsciously (I think), referenced a comment I saw on here, in conversation. During the 10 min he actually engaged with us

UPDATE 3: after HOURS of not saying anything and just lurking, reading our messages and very likely reading this thread; he sends one message “btw, there are no negotiation messages because he’s been my temporary gym buddy, we often just make trades while we’re lifting”

Some trades were at 2-3 AM… hes still hopefully going to this “gym buddies” house today and zooming us

UPDATE 4: Okay a development: he just messaged the group chat “I made a mistake. It’s not what you guys think. Give me some time to find the words to explain”

I knew the whole I’ll go to his house and zoom thing was a stall tactic. This is fked up. I’m really pissed now

I don’t know what to even fkin say…

Random updates: https://ibb.co/8sgZBVv

I’m not as brazen but this is my other league mates convo. Crossed out our location. He sent us that long explanation individually to come off as more personal.

I think I’ll end the updates there unless there’s a big one. But one more thing, the money sucks ofc but what’s also shitty, is us not having fantasy to enjoy for rest of season (at least the league we cared most about). Are there any suggestions to how to continue without the two teams? Here are the issues with some of the popular suggestions:

Icing their teams and having their players untouchable: some teams have already lost to the “super team” and some have beat the “easy” team so records are not fair

Redrafting from here and starting midway: the better teams/records lose out on their good season and the bad teams get a free restart

First time since this went down that he initiated a conversation with me; I thought he was going to apologize or talk about repayment… https://ibb.co/GdTngJQ

More random sht cuz it makes me feel better outting him here:

https://ibb.co/rMjFqWG

Interesting twist… I messaged his sister on ig. And she would take a long ass time to respond even tho she was shown as online. I’m 99% sure he got her to lie for him, but she didn’t expect the Venmo question to be important, so she didn’t double check with the commish, so fkin blatantly lying. I thought his sister was better than this. If you’ve been looking at the pics, you’d know why the Venmo q was impt. It was already obvious but this solidifies that he has zero intention of paying us back and has probably already lost it on a night of blackjack or baccarat

Genuinely what was I thinking lol

Every week I've started him hes a dud when on the bench he gets 100 yds a td on 12 targets. Hes the bane of my existence and has 0 value to trade.

I've been playing FF since 2001. In 22 years I have three playoff wins. And those three wins all came in the same season. Came in 2nd because Carr took a knee on three straight plays but that's another story.

In 22 years I have three playoff wins! Never won a league. I usually play in two leagues. So 40+ teams. Three playoff wins. No titles.

Never seems to matter how good my team is. I get bounced in the first round.

I've played almost every type of format -- redraft, keeper, dynasty, auction, IDP. Even played in a league that drafted a punter and a head coach.

I stink at all of them.

Got eliminated from the playoffs in both leagues this weekend. There's no way anyone sucks at this more than I do.

There's always next year! Right?

Made it to the final round without CMC, Tyreek Hill, Sun God, Jefferson, Gibbs, Kyren Williams.

Not sure how I scrapped by, but now I have to face the team with three of them. One being CMC.

This guy had Jamaar Chase and Joe Burrow almost put up 100 points... I just benched my team to give them rest and we'll try again next week. 😂

Just as the title says. I went into Monday night winning by 13 points. The person I’m playing against had Deebo Samuels started with Ricky Pearsall on the bench, when the game started I know Deebo was starting but when I checked in the 4th quarter Ricky Pearsall was starting and Deebo was on the bench, I had no players lefts so I ended up losing by 14ish points. To preface I’ve been in this league for 8 years and I’ve known these people for a very long time.

When I confronted the league commish about it, I was told “for integrity reasons” he was asked to change the players around. I contested this obviously and now half the league is undecided about it.

Am I wrong for withholding payment for the league until I’m declared the winner of the league? By withholding payment, I mean I'm the league treasurer and I have all the league dues in my account.
