Only rule that matters is full lineup, and it was created to stop guys like Hanson and Jimbo from straight up tanking, for example benching their entire roster. Thats literally the only rule that matters. We’ve had 50+ posts about the punishment fitting the crime and that really isn’t the point. Marn bitching and martyring himself for literally zero reason and Jimbo unable to find any ounce of restraint is nauseating, but that’s separate from the issue of outright tanking. Nobody has outright tanked since the rule has been set, which was the entire point. Have they made awful trades and terrible picks which led them to mailing it in? Sure, but they’ve still set a full lineup, AND they have to deal with the fact that their team not only sucks, but they won’t be competitive for years. Maybe Marn has some promise, but Jimbo is toast until maybe retirement.
Combining full lineup rule with changing the draft process to not basically give tanking teams 16 picks before anyone else gets a 2nd round pick has actually worked pretty well from my perspective. Nobody cares if Canada made a mistake, but we had to have a “penalty”… it’s not worth this level of bitching.
What Pete meant to say was “Only rule that matters is full lineup, and it was created to stop guys like Hanson and Jimbo and Carp and Pac Man and Pete while drywalling from straight up tanking…

The Commish job is a spread sheet job, Marn. Easy peasy. And as of today I just found out the Commish shouldn’t have to pay anything for all this spreadsheet work and weekly tracking that takes 10 minutes a week. More than willing to take this over!

No one in this league would ever want to see you back as Commish.

I'm done arguing with you Jimmer. I really don't care enough. I'm with Kyle. If the league wants to punish me, fine. I won't be spending real money or real effort because of it though.
Maybe Sean was always right? He saw this coming? No league fees; playing for pride vs your buddies is a lost art in this league I guess. Not for everyone thank goodness, and call me old school for caring and paying my league fee without complaint, but I didn’t think I would live to see the day in this league where at least one owner doesn’t even care, and admits it! Haha
If it’s such a burden to you Marn, please send me all your draft and Commish stuff. I can take it back over. Apologies it was such a burden for you.

Elite league?? Maybe once upon a time....but elite leagues dont need all these fucking rules to make sure people dont basically cheat and take advantage. Only league I've ever been in where we need this many rules to keep people honest....that's nowhere near elite. There are a ton of good things about the league, just ruined by jackass members. I'll be honest, I look at my lineup and try to make sure everyone is playing, but I'll be the 1st to admit, if a guy ends up not playing after being inactive the night of or the morning of the game.....I'm not losing any sleep over it. I'll take the punishment and you won't see a single post from me. It's just not that important to me. Is it fun, yes! Is it going to interrupt my day, whether it's 5 minutes or 3 hours, no!

As always, I agree with half of your post. I'm 100% with Kyle.
Sorry, I was not verifying all of my players didn't get suspended the morning before game time. I'm not going to in the future either. I don't have Twitter or X or whatever it's called. I don't watch pre game stuff and I don't play attention to Buffalo Bills football.
What Marn does pay attention too though is owners attempting to set an active lineup around the game time deadline! How dare they! Everyone should just set their lineup the night before or hours before the game without any internet notifications and let it ride! Whatever happens, happens, right Marn? What a gambler Marn is!!!
