Sorry I somehow missed being tagged about this.

I can't drop him now.

Whats this about?

@Dante_Lockhartdropped him to pick up another player that shouldnt have been available on waivers, so just trying to reset the subsequent transactions that followed.  Can you still pick up they player you dropped for Cooks?

I think we need @maqrollto drop Cooks but Ingram is in the free agent pool currently.

@maqrollfyi are you able to drop cooks?

Aren't you able to do it as commish?

Yes, but i'd like confirmation from Maqroll rather than just fiddling around with people's rosters.

Released Metcalf and Jonathan Taylor back to the FA wire.

Picked up some tat so fill the gaps. Ingram and Cooks were picked up by someone else so can't get them back.

So having gone through the transactions I believe this is how it should be @kkr:

Brumerican - Laviska Shenault Jr, Keelan Cole, Dalvin Cook, Lamar Jackson, Dallas Goedert, Pittsburgh DEF, Daniel Carlson, DK Metcalf, Diontae Johnson, Jonathan Taylor, Joshua Kelley (All on bench)

@Dante_Lockhart - Mark Ingram (Jonathan Taylor), Brandin Cooks (DK Metcalf)

@rjw63 - Greg Ward (Dalvin Cook)

@maqroll - Jimmy Graham (Brandin Cooks)

I've dropped Pittsburgh DEF & Diontae Johnson. Just need Houston DEF back to me. They're on waivers until Friday, so provided no one puts in a claim or unless KKR changes it before then, I can pick them up again.

The "interesting" one there is J.Graham back to maqroll. He picked up Brandin Cooks, who was dropped by Dante for DK Metcalf. Every other transaction was either not directly related or the player is still available.

 

All but Dk and Diontae back on Brumericans roster.

@Dante_Lockhart 

@maqroll

@rjw63

Can you release the necessary players?

I’m still locked out for making any sort of moves so I’ll just wait here quietly until told otherwise

Sorry, think i locked you rather than Brumerican!  Honest mistake!

I stepped away in week 1 . Only came back tonight to reply to you mentioning me in a post. 

I wish you had spent this much energy and time sorting the league out during the only few days the league even needed you to do the job.

You should have stepped away in August.

Didn't come back the other day to drop your players then?  Or to know that you were receiving trade offers which supposedly prompted you to dump them?

I have some time this evening to reply, i didn't before the draft.  I've explained this in numerous posts.

Say what you want about how i've managed the league, i don't care for your criticism quite frankly and i think everyone has seen tonight what sort of a person you are.

That's Yahoo's problem and after what he has done I don't feel bad about it in the slightest .

There were plenty of polite and respectful messages sent to him by me during a period where he was active yet he ignored every single one until that last one .

He deserves no remorse from me .

You do what you want, getting this twisted over fantasy football and going all keyboard warrior isn't healthy or classy though.

You should have stepped away when you said you were going to.

Did you not see what my team name was for the last 2 weeks.?     No regrets.

Bit strange quiet "Alex" hasn't used his VT account to post this .

I have asked him to post here, so lets see.  Either way, probably best to not be hurling C-bombs and death wishes in peoples DMs.

I think we have different opinions on what being locked out means . 

Remove a team from your Private League

1. From Yahoo Fantasy, mouse over Fantasy | select a sport.
2. Click the Commissioner tab.
3. Click the Manage Other Teams tab.
4. Click Remove Teams.
5. Click Remove next to the team you want deleted. You may need to unlock the team list to remove the team. ...
6. Click Delete Team.

 

 

 

Would have been tough for Ravens Flock to win games in this scenario.

 

 

 

As i previously advised, this option is only available pre-draft.  Screenshot attached for proof.  See my previous messages about not getting to it before the draft.

Something I never intended to do until a certain player changed his name and avatar despite being "locked" out .

I said I would drop out to provide balance on the condition both teams were locked.   Their team is still out there winning games so WTF ?

Commissioner to the league has no control over yahoo profile.  RavensFlock is locked out of trades, add/drop players, roster changes, team name and email league - which might explain why i had no response from my mail to them so i'll unlock that and try again.  The only setting he wasn't locked out of was message boards/posting.

@Dante_Lockhartwhy have you put Metcalf back in?? 

Was going to lose even if you hadn't ....

I presume Dante has missed the drama on here and is just managing his team oblivious to why DK was available in the first place and then not in his lineup before kickoff but i'll let him explain.  I signed on an hour or so before kick off and picked up Cook before it became apparent why he was available, which should have been obvious really!  No way such players get sent to waivers under normal circumstances.

If raising a major concern is "whining" then you probably weren't the guy for the job to be honest . You may want to go back and read posts from the days just BEFORE the draft.  You will see I was actively trying to prevent this.

You did nothing and you need to own that a little bit rather than throw a hissy.

The major concern being that we may have an interloper/cheater?  Yes its an issue and no i don't have time to conduct a full on investigation into who has signed up to a fantasy league on a message board forum!

If i had the time before the draft maybe i could have removed him, but i didn't.  Well done dude, you're a real hero for calling it out and then sabotaging the league further with your actions.  I'm sure everyone will have fun in the league with you next season.

If doing commissioner stuff isn't a priority then why be commissioner ?

I only agreed to step aside on the basis Ravens Flocked was locked out so the numbers were even . That STILL hasn't happened or they wouldn't have 3 wins would they ?  They are clearly still active and on the wind up judging by the latest avatar change on Yahoo.

Maybe I am ticked off but that's because you have literally done nothing in almost 3 months . Like I said we could have used this concern from you a while back when I brought it up BEFORE the draft ?  

Being an absent commissioner has made things far worse than anything I have done dude.

 

Being a commissioner to a fantasy football league on villatalk isnt a priority in my life right now, sorry to not meet your standards here.  I've already said i'm stepping away at the end of the season so you can go ahead and set up your own league, that should cheer you up.

I have been commissioner since the start nearly 10 years ago and have retained that position as it is usually very light touch to the extent that a free to play league amoung footie fans pretty much runs itself due to the lack of drama and nonsense and no one has raised any concerns during that time. 

Ravensflock has been locked out of roster additions/changes since you whined about him adding a QB after the draft.

I've enjoyed running the league until this season and that's the result of an interloper and a saboteur, so i'll happily move on and not participate next season.

1 minute ago, Brumerican said:

I already have.

8 weeks after I asked you to ... You realise Ravens Flock has 3 wins right ? 

Where was your concern 9 weeks ago ?

You said you were stepping away to focus on other issues, so why are you still manipulating your roster in week 8?  How do you know you are getting trade offers if you were supposed to be stepping away?  If you are getting trade offers, why did you feel compelled to release them as opposed to doing nothing at all?

What does locking your team have to do with RavensFlock win rate?  They have been locked since whoever it was (most likely yourself) had a fit about them making roster moves to add a QB etc that they didnt draft.  As a member of Villatalk I took you on your word that you were stepping away from the league, so obviously that was a mistake on my part.

I don't know who Ravens flock is or why he has interloped into the league and not responded to any attempts at contact.  If its a second account then shame on whoever it is tarnishing things this season, but at the end of the day its a **** fantasy football league with no money on the line.  Its supposed to be a laugh.  I wouldn't get so worked up about it.  Deal with the bullshit and move on.

I have a life so sorry pal, getting to the bottom of who Ravens flock is because its got you so wound up, just isn't anywhere near my priority list.  Thanks for doing all you can to make things worse at every opportunity though.  Classy.

@Dante_Lockhart I have benched Dk Metcalf for the WR on your bench and benched Jonathan Taylor so you will need to pick another up for your match this week.

I'll re-sign all of Brumericans dropped players to his roster once possible and lock him out also.

1 hour ago, LancsVillan said:

Easiest thing would be for him to re-sign them all and bench them like he did

I thought he was stepping away to deal with other issues.  If that's the case why is he still messing around with his roster?  Care to explain @Brumerican?

I haven't put in for any of them. Watch somebody take one or two though.

We should probably list them here so we can keep track over the coming weeks.

 

EDIT: I've gone through it and, if we're leaving them, these are the non-selectable players:

 

QB - Lamar Jackson
RB - Dalvin Cook
RB - Jonathan Taylor
RB - Joshua Kelley
WR - Keelan Cole
WR - Laviksa Shenault
WR - Diontae Johnson
WR - DK Metcalf
TE - Dallas Goedert
K - Daniel Carlson
DEF - Pittsburgh
 

I just snapped up Cook wondering why he was on waivers, ill drop him now!

No

@kkr locked his team meaning he can't change it or sign FA's or waivers. Apparently you can't boot a team once the season starts as per yahoo rules.

Teams can be replaced or rather ownership transferred, but not removed once the league has drafted.

Giants signed Devonta Freeman @rjw63 Not that they can run the ball or do much good though!

@Xela i was going to play out the tie rather than profit from someone leaving, but it looks like players have now been selected by my opponent so i will reluctantly field a team.

I definitely have and won't be back sorry. I can only apologise but I'm struggling just to make it through the day most of the time . Fantasy used to be a fun escape but it's become a chore for me and I need to use the little time I have left more wisely.

I don't know what your personal circumstances are dude, but it sounds like you have more important things to focus on which i completely understand and wish you the best with.

The door remains open if you have a change of heart.

Why does the league need to be retired? If the commish role can be transferred then we can carry on, you can choose to be in it or not, just like anyone else.

I also think that the yahoo platform works well enough so quite happy to stick with it.

If people are happy enough with Yahoo then it can carry on.  I thought there was more of a desire to change the structure of the league with divisions, promotion/relegation etc and clearly there is no valid option to do that on Yahoo.

Looks like i could transfer ownership of a team if anyone is interested in taking over from RavensFlock and Brumerican?  Seems to work as per the below so i believe the original owner would no longer have access to the league, but not sure on that to be honest.

No response from Ravens Flock to my message yet either.

I'll be commish if nobody else has an interest

It seems i cant set anyone with a hidden email as commish/co-commish for some reason.  If you can change this i'll set you up.

I'll retire the league at the end of the season though as it has ran its course.  There was plenty of discussion about scoring, rosters and divisions the past few offseasons so it will probably be a good opportunity for a fresh start with a new commissioner who may want to consider other fantasy platforms once there is some agreement among participants around the rules they want to play under.
