Yahoo cheating

[kentx12]

What are you doing in a public league?

Got bored and found one with the same number of owners and settings as my main draft that is in 2 weeks. It was the last time for me though.

There is confusion in terminology here. Public leagues have no commissioner. Since this league has a commissioner, it is likely a private league that published openly for members to join.

Wow...this doesn't even make any logical sense....everybody in the league knows what he did....his eventual "victory" in September will mean absolutely nothing to any league mates....and how is he going to get any satisfaction out of it??


It's like he's just trying to boost his yahoo profile ranking...pretty sad..sorry to hear that man

[JTWood]

Man, that's some crazy stuff. Don't know I've ever heard of anything so blatant.

That's what I was going to say.

I joined a live draft a couple of days ago and check in today and see that the commish has locked every team from doing anything and has dropped all the top players from everyones rosters. Is there anything that can be done to drop the league or would there be a point in e-mailing yahoo about this? Is there anything they can do about it?

Hmmm...sounds very similar to an experience I had last season in a Yahoo league. Wonder if it the same crooked commish? Is his Yahoo name "Jean F" with an email addy of jeanfrederique@aol.com? He ruined the entire season from day one.

But...no...Yahoo will not interfere in private league matters. Maybe there should be a stipulation in the Yahoo rules that if that commissioner publishes his league (making it available for anyone to join)...then it technically becomes a public league...and they can step in. But...I guess that would make too much sense.

trust me - it happens WAY more often than you'd hope/think. they'd have to hire a whole new team just to deal with those cases if that were to become policy, so it at least doesn't make fiscal sense

kent, take a look at the commissioner's fantasy profile. what's his track record look like?

1st place 2003, 1st place 2004, 1st place 2005, 1st place 2006, 1st place 2007, 1st place 2008....

Why not just use a mock draft to practice?
