League moaning about Colston @ WR

Postby mothaudio » Mon Oct 02, 2006 8:39 am

After the 4th week of the season a few members of our work league start complaining about me starting Colston @ TE. They insist he's a WR and should be started there, not TE, regardless of how Yahoo has him designated; TE / WR. Funny, no one complained about Cooley @ RB last year? I told them THEY had an equal opportunity to claim him off the WW but didn't. Is there any merit to their point or just sour grapes? They want to put it to a league vote.

Yes, I'm the Commish [if that matters].

No, him starting at WR or TE is not an issue.

I can't believe there is an uproar over him starting at WR. That is just stupid.

The eligibility is there for everyone to see. Definitely sour grapes.

yea, it's not like YOU made him WR/TE eligible. If that's how it's slated, then play him at TE or WR. Of course I got him too, but their probably mad that he's producing and need something to whine about.

I feel ya as a fellow commish. As always in FF, if something doesn't go THEIR way, then there is controversy. But if it works out for them, then it's all good.

good luck!

Yeah, but if he did ask them, they would of course say, "Yes, i would start him at wr". it's obviously going to be biased now.

I think there is a legit gripe there, but not with you. It should be with Yahoo. ESPN already corrected the situation, yahoo needs to as well.

I hold my stance. If he plays @WR start him there. If suddenly there was a glich and LT became K eligible and was started there. It would not be everyone else's fault Yahoo, etc. messed up. If you have to use a loophole to win....

This is what matters.

For the record, I'm on your side since Yahoo announces that once a player is designated at a certain position they don't lose that eligibility. But it is up to each league to decide its own rules and norms.
