I agree with Jabronie 100%. It was NOT cheating. There is no rule that he is breaking. He is helping himself get a better spot. Anyone with that opportunity should have taken it.

I'm not sure if this was addressed in the chat... but I also don't believe that this leads to dropping players for other teams to pick-up. This example is unethical. It helps other teams win with no benefit to the original owner. This is constantly addressed by yahoo.

This is definitely unethical and can/is considered cheating in many real life sporting events not to mention illegal when it involves money. As to the arguments that NFL teams do it every year, you are right. NFL teams often mask it as resting their starters for the playoffs, but on several occasions where attempting to fix the playoffs was obvious, there has been outrage over the ordeal. In these situations the team got away with it because they did start players and these players did play to atleast an acceptable level.

If you want a list of real life events involving throwing games, look up match fixing on wikipedia. Players have been suspended, fined, expelled from the league, or in some extreme cases served jail time for throwing games.

I almost did the same thing to avoid playing AR in the first round but didn't and am kicking myself now. That's one strategy that is not cheating imo!!!

its not cheating---its actually smart for him to set himself up for an easier matchup----sucks that someone missed out on a playoff spot becaus of it but thats life.

stop crying about it and just beat him in the playoffs and it wont matter

i see nothing wrong with this. it's a smart move, just like NFL teams benching their QB's to rest them for the post-season. you can't force someone to play players if they don't want to. it's a strategy to improve your chances, just like picking up players on the waiver wire is a strategy to improve chances. dont get mad cuz he paid attention to the details

What you are doing, is CHEATING. You are purposely removing projected, and earned player points (in the middle of weeks' play) to gain an UN-fair advantage in the playoffs. The Fantasy Football point system is in place for a reason. That reason being, PLAY TO WIN. Not play to win, then sandbag the last regular season game to make your playoff match-up's easier. That's not management, its Bill Beilchick spying on the fucking Jets w/ Google Earth!! Just because it's not in the rule book yet, doesn't mean it's not CHEATING. You EARNED the playoff match-up that you would get according to your record(providing you would win tonight, which you would). You aren't supposed to want to play your opponents in the playoffs! That would be ridiculous! It would be one thing if, in all your infinite wisdom, you saw this coming last week and didn't play your best players and just put some bullshit ones in instead. But you aren't playing anyone at all! What you are doing there IS SHADY PLAY! If this only effected you alone it would be one thing. But, it doesn't, it effects other managers who earned there way to the playoffs by playing correctly(filling ALL roster positions w/ players) all year. I'm sorry, but I would rather play w/ 15 other idiots who take DEF's in rounds' 4 and 6, then play with the knowledge that you, or anyone else in this league, would try to "unintentionally" fuck someone else's playoff hopes, for their own personal gain.

BTW, No team in the "NFL" would show up to a game and say "We want to play, but we're not going to play our RB and WR positions, AT ALL!" They would be either disqualified from the days' game, or forced to forfeit. Food for thought.

Blah blah blah......is that shit coming out of your mouth? I have locked in my playoff spot already and if the teams that had this last spot up for grabs would have WON and not lost this wouldn't be an issue. This happens in the NFL all the time. Yeah they play with backups so they lose but it is no different. I cant manage my team and everyone else in the league. There are people in the league that didn't start people in place of people on bye weeks or even people that didn't play and weren't supposed to play. If i go and pick up 2 bums that don't even see the field and insert them into my line up it will still be the same outcome.

I don't see how this is cheating at all. Actually its not cheating that's probably why I don't see it. Oh and this all is coming from someone who has played what 2 yrs of fantasy football. I have been playing for 10+ years and this is not the first time I have seen this. The name of the game is to win a championship and manage your team to do so. If that means sitting 2 players to have a better playoff match up I and everyone in my position has a right to manage there team accordingly. Just like the NFL teams starting 2nd and 3rd stringers to lose games. Look back to just last year and your shitty LOL packers. There playoff hopes were in the hands of another team that didn't start there starters. GB gets in because they lose and GB wins. Same shit but the person that gets booted from the playoffs didn't win.

Oh and I forgot to add that your trade was BS and it went through didnt it. A Concussed Sidney Rice that always has a headache for a top 8 Defense. So under your rules that was a fair trade and hurt player for a starting one. Also don't forget at that time your season was over already and you had no playoff chances. Its called Karma.....and it might end up to bite me in the ass to.

Really? You would "lock his roster"? Wow, what gives you the right to have a say in his roster? Now THAT IS CHEATING! And I doubt that he would care to play in your league next season anyway. Jeesh,,,,,,,,
