I have never understood this person.
Clearly, they never had any intention of actually participating in the league. Christ, in one league I’m actively participating in, one dude still has GLEN COFFEE on his roster. Glen Coffee retired BEFORE THE PRESEASON STARTED to move on to the life that all football players with incredibly short careers strive for…preaching to youth about stuff before getting busted with guns.
These people destroy a league. Their line ups become a cluster fuck, with player after player not actually playing due to injury or being on a Bye week, but they’re still in Capt. Dicklick’s starting line up! And they inevitably end up hoarding numerous players at one position…one dude in one of the other leagues I’m in has 5 goddamn starting calibre running backs on his roster. His best quarterback option is Chad Henne. That’s like having a hockey pool where you have 6 of the best wingers around, but your best center is Kris Draper. But nobody can make a fucking trade with him BECAUSE HE ISN’T THERE. So all of that talent sits in limbo, and Chad Henne starts for his team every week. There is a word for that, friends…and that word is abuse! Or you could call it the Miami Dolphins…I’m pretty sure it’s the same thing, though.
What is the point of this? Why bother? It doesn’t annoy me when someone gets busy with something away from fantasy sports and has to deal with that…that’s cool, and they usually tell the league commissioner so that something can be set up to keep the team active. But these motherfuckers who just eat up a league spot with what is essentially nothingness…fuck you. Just don’t sign up in the first place. Were you coerced in to doing so by some weird consortium of heavily armed Eastern European men with Ivan Drago haircuts bent on destroying the game of fantasy football so that fantasy soccer can take over the world, with everyone desperately competing for the coveted first pick in the draft to take Sven Umlaut and totally own the rest of the league in the all important statistical category of sissy dives? If you were, fuck Europe. If you weren’t, fuck you…and Europe…just because.
