RBF League 2023 - Gary Barnidge Classic!

[Man Called X]

Ahem...beg to differ. I got about 60 more than you, and am only 4-4. Top QB, Top WRs and Top RB in the league on my roster too (although I did just trade Zeke for Davante). Rolling out Mahomes, DK Metcalf and Derrick Henry (and now Davante Adams) - teams shit their pants when we walk out of the tunnel. 500 record to show for it. Good news - I'm 8 seed as of now in the playoffs. The top seeds are doing all they can to avoid my thoroughbreds.

I get it tho X. I may have stated this before, but my bro and I got in a beef about fantasy football being a skill game. His argument - the same guys always win their league. No taking into account the activity of all 10/12/14 teams, injuries, etc. IMO, fantasy is 90% luck and 10% skill. And the skill comes with being opportunistic with the waiver wire and starting the right mix of players to maximize weekly points. Outside of that - all luck. Zero control from us lowly team managers.

Being fair, it hadn't updated the scores from last week on there. It's whatever, I just wanted to bitch because Jackson got hurt on the 1st play of the game and NE defense shit the bed.

My boys are scrapping their way up the standings. I made the big move with @Amherstcavsfan for a true #1 receiver, who immediately jacked up his ankle. Its my last year with Kamara in a cheap keeper draft slot, so I'm going all in.

That said, we haven't done the Annual Gary Barnidge Classic, so get your pipes warmed up. Whomever volunteers to play continues the heritage and tradition of all things Gary Barnidge. The lowest scoring tight end this week out of participants will record a snippet of Gary's actual favorite karaoke jam Barbie Girl.

I'm in, who else?

As always, I'm in. And I'm more than happy to request a new song from Gary if needed.

Isn't Gary braving a huge televised world tour? If he answers, awesome. I'm up for his latest thoughts on pretty much anything.

I figured that was already done filming but I don't pay attention to TV. I'll shoot him a message on FB and see what kind of response I can get.

In like Jonny Flynn

 

[Jack Brickman]

I'm out. My team has suffered enough. Second time in three weeks I've been given an A or better rating in a loss.

 

[Randolphkeys]

Well fuck. I'm afraid I have to put my commissioner hat on and call out an IR abuse. Last week @Deezus used the IR for Ekeler, who does not have Covid-19. He still has Ekeler in the IR spot.

So as per the agreement we made using the IR spot, he loses his highest scoring player from last week, which is Jamison Crowder and his 10.6 points. He also needs to drop one player from his bench, taking Ekeler off IR ASAP.

I really wish the software created a Covid protocol, but this is what we are stuck with this season.

What happened to the standings?

It says I am 5-2-2 when I am 7-2. It has everyone with two ties.

 

[Randolphkeys]

That's fucking weird... I didn't change anything besides the penalty to Deezus. I'll check later.

 

[Surge]

-50 points to commissioner

Hurl Bruce has been docked one decade of suggestions. This Covid-19 IR idea was elephant dung.

I am looking at it right now, and somehow weeks 4 and 5 have been changed throughout the league to a 0-0 tie. I can tell you it wasn't me.

On the "Commish Updates" section, it shows the scoring changes I made Sept. 7th, Surge being docked points for the IR violation September 15th, and Deezus getting docked today. Pic included.

I expect this was a mistake made by Yahoo that gets corrected.

For what it's worth, the other two Yahoo leagues I am in do not have this issue.

But hey, I'll take two ties.
