On my end it shows that he only has a 1 year contract. Maybe refresh the page.

Meh. VY was spyed when he skated all over me in similar fashion. Sometimes the Spy is slower then the one being spied
DCX
QB Spy? Stop playing man coverage. do you want me not to run with 25+ yards of open field?

So at one point he obviously had a three year deal. Then it's determined people have fucked with signing people and it's discovered he is supposedly unsigned, and now he has a one year deal.
Yup, this all checks out.

We all play a flawed game to start. Some people know exactly how to attack this flawed game within the rules we set. Twins not withstanding. lol
Sometimes Cbs run across the field to switch matchups presnap, LBS covering 99 spd wrs, suction blocks etc. it's all subjective forms of bending not breaking rules.
What you did broke a rule, but most importantly, the spirit of what this league represents. In reality, it has no impact. The dude didn't set records in the game he played in or anything but still. It is worse the "bending" gameplay rules.

L running with Turn is impossible. It bends the time space continuum. I'm am pretty sure anyone i played against will tell you i fall forward with Turner 99% of time. Good try.

Ugh, why must you be such a pain in the ass. The player had a preset three year contract hold. Its hard to explain but when you see that there is a placeholder for a three year contract. I edited your contract first.
Luke then told me to just sign them to one year deals. So i went back and assigned him to a one year deal. You must have had LM open since this all started which is why you still saw 3 years. /Cabal

what is L running?
So that thing where you ran to the sideline and then broke upfield on every run play and beat my LBers and DEs all game wasn't an exploit? Okay.
I guess you're just mad that I took a team with half the talent of what you started with and built them into a fringe playoff contender. Its cool, we can't all be GM of the year.

Wait what? First off, if i L ran every SINGLE play like you said why did you mention it. Why do you feel now is the time to attempt this master troll?
Ask everyone but you how i run and you will get " dive, off tackle, draw, counter " 99% of the time.
I'm not mad at all friend, but lets not pretend here you are being wronged at all. You had 180 yards to your TE and you want to preach about exploits...stand down boy.

Yea, some douche who used to play in our league did this all the time. Kickoff returns, running plays etc. Despite what our resident Martha Stewart says, i do not do.
Actually against Dm i think i almost did it. I ran a sweep or a screen to Vereen and i saw him coming to hitstick me into yesterday and i just outran his hitstick and ran up field for like a gain of 3 yards lol
You would need a a really fast Rb to pull it off one would think High spd and acl. Which Turner is neither. lol

Challenge Accepted. (I play him again in two weeks. Our first matchup was close)

what the F is going on here!
guys, just get under the cap and please don't try to circumvent the system. if you can't afford a free agent then you can't afford him. this is an imperfect system but it's the system we are all playing under. this shouldn't be hard to follow and although i agree its lame that there are 30-something guys who have been sitting there for weeks that's what we have to work with (believe me, i could use the help at spots but i have no money to do it!)
in other news, albatross if you see this get at me!

GG Smokey.
Good to have Ben back.
Also, I agree with no penalty for these dudes next season, no one even brought it up until week 11, chances are none of them even knew.
good game brother!

Crow-Bro, when is the earliest you can play? I'm headed home in about a half hour.

No way dude, I've been a master race member for years I just never really took advantage of steam the way I should have. I really started with it last christmas sale. All of my gaming time has gone to Skyrim tho so I don't know if anything else will be worth a buy friend!
(It started today? SWEET)
$7.49 for Portal 2 is ridiculous. Holy fuck.

gg tross. just one of those games where everything was working for me. got away with a couple passes that probably should have been picked (the one in the endzone to crabtree). i started off being very cautious with fitz but you didn't really test him deep so i started gambling with some blitzes which got there
back in first place alone again!

I don't see anything worth buying today that I don't already own. Get Orcs Must Die everyone!
Also, I can't drop Aaron Rodgers because Troy Smith has apparently been Raptured. Would the league consider it tanking if Tim Masthay played QB for the rest of the year? Would the punishment for tanking exceed the punishment I'm to receive for letting DCX sign my players?

you're fine bro, calm down!
i think the only thing i'm buying today is portal 2. $7.49 seems like a pretty good deal for that amount
I come out of DOTA hibernation sickness and look at what's happening!
Is it possible there was a backend correction done to salaries on Derek's side and Smokey/Ferny/Eznark and whoever else was over didn't in fact add players but rather a server side salary update pushed them over the cap?
If that's the case, I don't think anyone should get "punished." If it's not, I think the only punishment would be eating the cap hit on the player they end up cutting, since there's not even a great way of penalizing and tracking dropped players on the admin end (thanks, hobbyist).
M.M.K. getting a face full of Madden drama in his first week, close your eyes brother, it stings a little bit
Steam is making a mockery of the PSN and XBL holiday sales. Not only sales, but with extras added to go back to games for the holiday season. MS and Sony are doomed when it comes to digital distribution. Enjoy that Kinect gravy train now MS because it is going to be a hard crash once people get sick of it. We'll see if Sony steps up to the plate in the digital arena with Vita.
Orcs Must Die is a steal at $3.74. DLC at 75 percent off is worth getting too.

Maybe. All I know was there was a few players without contract info. Just place holders for three year deals.

I signed them all to one year deals. The fact that not everyone was afflicted could lead me to believe these things :
1) not wanted
2) owners were waiting for it to auto correct itself
3) they were signed at one point and the patch or upgrade or voodoo Derek does when he feels like it messed it up.
I do know first hand knowledge that Smokey wasn't aware fully that he had an unsigned player but did say he was going to cut him. So I think he expected since he didn't sign him ( he was a drafted player ) he would be cut anyways since we hit that release 0 year players button.
I think we hit it before the rookies were taken cared of. So I can see were that assumption can be made.
We did have situations with unsigned players actually playing in games so I can't assume if they are not signed to just cut them either.
It is what it is. Lesson is manage your team. See something weird just report it so we can fix it. Cabal can't do and see it all.

Seahawks without LBer Clark Haggans for first half of Rams game.
The league has penalized the Seahawks for improper contract negotiations with the veteran line backer and has determined that he will be required to sit for the first half of the Seahawks next game. Coach Pete Carroll has yet to announce who will take Haggans spot in the starting line up.

Yea I did his contract first. It was empty. It had a place holder for a three year deal. Three years were highlighted but no money was entered.
So when I got the green light to enter the info I did it for three years then I got the word from Luke to just make it one. When you asked me who was your guy that was the issue I saw he was at 3 years and changed it.
Your case is perfect to use because you used him and even scored a TD with him last game. If I went just cutting players there would have been backlash as well.
On a weird note. I gave Smokeys unsigned guy a contract last night. Saw he was under the cap assumed he cut him only to see this morning his contract is empty and hr didn't cut anyone. So something is up.
DCX
Not from me there wouldn't have been. I have no idea how I can have a guy on my roster who doesn't have a contract. I certainly didn't magic him onto my team. He didn't belong there and should have been cut.
You know the best way to handle it though? How bout letting someone know about it before doing it? "Hey dude, you've got an obscure roster issue and we think we should handle it this way. Since we're only 4 games into this week, we have plenty of time to figure it out so lets figure it out"
4 PM's and this is a non-issue. As it is, I'll just cut Morley, since that's what should have logically happened in the first place.
