Exactly. It is cheating. Now if he had only picked up say the 1 best avail QB option then it would not be so obvious and one could say it was insurance in case his QB gets hurt. But what he did was obvious and a violation of rules and would not be invited to play in my league next year. BTW is his last name Belichick?

Beat him fairly if you can....if you can't, tough sh*t.

By his own admission Anthony made it pretty clear he did what he did to prevent the team he is up against from getting a good replacement for an injured player . He has admitted to breaking rule 4 . The sole purpose of Anthony's move was in fact to hamper his opponent play.
All that aside I find this to be rather interesting social commentary. Fair play and ethics verses a win is a win and I don't care how I get it mentality . Which from what I have read thus far is about a 50 / 50 split .
Personally I think it's a chickens&#t move . It's weak , and I have to wonder what Anthony's team roster and win / loss looks like . Must not be that good if it's a win go to the playoff's , loose and ride the pine . I look at the player he cut to pull his quote / unquote brilliant strategic move . Jones / Crayton / Gage , while good solid players , not the cream of the crop ! It would serve him right if the other teams in the league cut there worst players and plucked these guys off the waver wire and gave Anthony a dose of his own medicine . After all what goes around comes around .

This is fantasy football. The rules may state that but we are also not little kids that have to be babied. The other individual should have been on top of his game and taken care of his team. I believe everyone had the opportunity to pick up those QBs so why did the whiner pick them up when Harrington was ruled out? Oh because he wasn't on top of his shit. NOT CHEATING if you are playing with men.

Isn't EVERY roster move you make in some way related to "hampering" the play of other owners? So technically, i wasn't playing fair because i had adrian peterson (chi) on my bench of the past month just in case something happened to benson, which it did. Even if i have a solid starting lineup, i'm going to pick up players off the waiver wire and put them on my bench SOLELY so the other teams, my opposition, cannot have them. It may not be very classy, but from a purely fantasy standpoint, that is a great defensive move.

That's the dumbest rule I've ever heard. I guess you can't even draft a player, it might hamper the play of other owners . Oh, and I better make sure nobody else drafts players, because it might hamper my play. Why don't we just say we are all champs and not even play fantasy football! The sole purpose of playing fantasy football is to win, thus hampering the other owners of their play!

Cheating = NO Bush league = YES
That is a elementary aged move. Have confidence in your team and go head to head. Weak move by a scared punk!

Well, technically, any waiver move is to the hamper the play of others by improving your own, It's in the system, it's legal

According to section8 article 318471274, what ever dude! He didn't have enough since to add a QB in time, I'd say good lookin out! It would suck if you did that too me, I'd probrably bitch about it too! Of course if you did that, I'd counter it by getting someone whose out of it to drop a QB so I could add it. It does kinda start a dirty chain of events!

The rule #4 is referring to adding and dropping players. If you keep them on your roster for that week, then your sole purpose was not to hinder the other team, regardless of if you even play one of those five QB's. If you added and then dropped them so that they could not be picked up, that would be cheating.

it's not cheating but any good commisioner would freeze your team for pulling a bush league move. its doesn't show that your good at fantasy foorball, just shows that your good and bending some rules. don't be suprised if you don't get a phone call from the league for next years draft.

Not at all...I was f'n brilliant. Chances are though, that you will win and have no backups going into the playoffs and loose your first game. That would be poetic justice.

No, it's not cheating. Each league can limit the number of qb's, rb's, wr's, etc. To prevent this, so if your league has no limiton how many qb's you can have on your roster, then you're good to go. It sucks to be your opponent.

See yahoo rule # 4...It is cheating. The example of grabbing all of the QB's stands in direct conflict with rule # 4 which basically says that you are not to make roster moves whos purpose is to hamper another persons ability to manage their team. So good for you for "winning". I'm sure you havn't won any friends.

You've gotta do what you've gotta do to win.
