NEW FEATURE (Pregame)
Pregame is a new bare-bones link meant to put everything needed for gameday in one place. It will have the current WTFFL and NFL schedules, WTFFL rosters, and any updated injury, buy, and drop information we can get our hands on before noon on Sunday.

The content is purposefully sparse because it is hoped that you will use this new page to copy/paste your roster into your weekly starters email to commish@whaletime.net. If you cut your rosters down to just the starters before you send your email, it will make for a quicker redistribution to the entire league because it will be in the desired format.

This is the year I'll be looking at inexpensive but decent online solutions to help with league management.

ALL-STAR GAME
U Conference 80, V Conference 57
On the surface, things seemed to be falling pretty well for the V. The U got sorry performances from LJ, TO and Clayton. LTD was done after just one game. The Colts won four playoff games with Manning and Harrison playing for the V while the U had no Colts. Somehow, though, the U never relinquished their early lead. Westbrook did a lot of damage in his two games and Gould put up steady points for his three games. Hindsight substitutions for Lewis and Gates goose eggs could not even bring the V a hypothetical victory. Meanwhile, the U could have really poured it on had various unlikely roster gyrations put Dillon or an Addai/Gonzo/PatriotsD combo or a T-Jones / Bush / Muhammad / Vinitieri / Patriots D combo in the All-Star game. In the final assessment, it appears that the U victory was inevitable and that the V owners were destined to pay for the 2007 draft beer.

U CONFERENCE PLAYOFF PREVIEW
(#1) Oregon vs. (#4) Como Park
The Dirty Dogs have acquired enough WR talent that they are starting to make the wrong calls on gamedays. Holt, Evans, Chambers and Ocho Cinco are all legitimate starters, but veteran running backs Brian Westbrook and Ahman Green are not easily giving up their spots in the starting lineup. Also in the mix is the tough-to-bench rookie dynamo MJD. They'll face a dangerous Como Park squad that are the reigning champs and had eight wins in their final nine games. The Pongos rely on timely scores from their tight ends Shockey and Cooley. Also, the play of MBIII has has solidified the Como Park running game with SA being injured most of the season. A big game from Alexander on Thursday night would help give the Pongos a better chance to pull off the upset. Look for the final result to be decided at the QB position. If Palmer can stay close to Brees, the big game potential up and down the Oregon lineup would seem to favor the Dirty Dogs.

(#2) Texas vs. (#3) Roseville
The Showboats dismantled the Lightning in week 14 (despite yet another 20+ point performance from LTD) and stole the scoring title in the process. It's difficult to say whether that's an indication that this is the Showboat's year or that karma will quickly get its sweet revenge. The Showboats come in a bit banged up with DJax not likely to play at all and some early reports about an injury to LJ. LJ and LTD face each not only in the WTFFL playoffs but also in the NFL as the Chiefs visit the Chargers. If LJ somehow wins that battle, Plaxico or Santana will need a big game for the Lightning to have a chance. With a number of favorable matchups on both sides of the field, this could turn into a real shootout. The Ravens D should feast on the Browns who are coming into Baltimore and Brady should have a good game against the visiting Texans for Roseville. Texas has both Kitna and Driver going in the Lions at Packers game that shouldn't feature much defense and on Mondy night Rudi is going against the Colts who haven't been able to stop any running attack. Actually this smells like a game that will come down to the kickers: Scobee for the Showboats and Wilkins or Vinatieri for the Lightning. As it was in week 14, that call could be critical for Roseville.

V CONFERENCE PLAYOFF PREVIEW
(#1) Front vs. (#4) Waukesha
The Buzz usually at least make it to their namesake Bowl, so the #1 seed Bunnies won't necessarily be heavily favored against their #4 seeded Time Division rival. McNair has been been an adequate replacement for the injured McNabb and Fred Taylor has done all right despite the emergence of MJD though he may be a little nicked up heading into the post-season. Waukesha will rely on Harrison to provide some veteran leadership, but their destiny will ultimately depend on fielding the right combination of Norwood, Jenkins, Kennison and Coles. The Bunnies also have some tricky lineup decisions to make. Beyond SJax and Deuce the starters are not automatic: Stallworth, Bolden, Bruce, Horn, Maroney, Battle and even LJ Smith are lobbying the coach for playing time. The injury report may make some of the decisions easier. If Hasselbeck can toss a few scores, look for Front to make it to the final four.

(#2) Minneapolis vs. (#3) Nord'east
This is a rematch of last years V Conference Championship game. Payton Manning seems due for a big game at home against the Bengals on Monday night. If he focuses on Reggie Wayne, it may turn out all right for the Screaming Eagles. Willie Parker and Nate Kaeding have been solid for Nord'east, but the rest of the lineup has been erratic. The Screagle QB situation is unsettled at best. Will they go back to Eli at home against the Eagles, or stick with one of the more recent acquisitions (Trent Green atSan Diego or Jason Campbell at New Orleans)? Keyshawn or Jamal will have to step up to top Frank Gore, who has returned to his early season form, and the feisty Robber Baron receiving corps. It seems that every week a different Minneapolis WR has played the hero role: early on it was Reggie Brown then Mike Furrey and most recently Marty Booker. Now Hines Ward is due back from his stint on IR, too. Some Robber Baron fans are already talking smack about the Whale Bowl with it looking like the Colts will have no opportunity to rest starters in the final weeks of the NFL season.

NEW STUFF
1) We've had a couple of scoring changes of note over the past couple weeks. McNabb gained 3 points in Week 10 and Brian Westbrook gained 3 points in Week 11. Oregon and Waukesha have both had their PF adjusted; Roseville and Twin Cities have had their PA adusted.

2) If you've looked at the Standings page, you may have noticed that we already have 2 of 8 playoff slots filled this week. Oregon and Front are both in as obvious front-runners for the Whale Bowl championship. Congrats to both teams.

RETRACTION
TE-Crumpler, Alge-Falcons now plays for the Dale Street Stonecutters. He was drafted in the 4th Round of the 2006 WTFFL draft. Last week's Oregon write-up was totally about Crumpler and his 21 points, and none of us noticed. Either you're not reading or we're all so used to Crumpler playing for the Dirty Dogs that we didn't question it. So, in reality, the Stonecutters are the ones that keep blowing chances at victory by benching Crumpler, including this week. A Crumpler start would have defeated the Bunnies. We'll go ahead and blame the double zeros from Dominic Rhodes for the losses, just to put some healthy doubt into the coach's mind.

TRADE
WR-Mason, Derrick-Ravens traded from Dale Street Stonecutters to White Bear Alley Cats for White Bear's 2007 3rd-round pick.

GAME ON
The NFL season starts tonight. Miami Dolphins vs. Pittsburgh Steelers. Don't forget to submit your starters that are applicable to the game.

THE CEDRIC HUMES RULE
Yes, I know we love reasons to create rules in the WTFFL. I was looking back through the email archives recently, and I giddily read an expletive-laced message from the owner of the old North Mpls. Neandertals (and Job Corps Blissful Ignorants) about how stupid it is that we spend so much time on making rules. He was right about our zealotry, of course, but ever we roll on with misguided attempts at making your fantasy lives more fulfilling.

Without further delay... Cedric Humes was an RB on the active roster of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was recently sent down to the practice squad. Soooo... he's still a Steeler, but he's not really a Steeler. Should the team that drafted him (Loeb Lakers) get to keep him? The answer is yes. As long as the owner is willing to give up one of the 12 existing healthy-player roster spots to maintain his status on the team.

How this might apply to other recent situations...

1) RB-Williams, Ricky-Dolphins. He's technically still a Dolphin. If Front wants to keep him on the Bunnies roster, they may. And so far they have.

2) WR-Brown, Troy-Patriots. Last year the Patriots dropped him but made it clear that they didn't want to and that they hoped to get him back, which they did. Roseville would now be allowed to keep him on the roster through all the drop-and-pickup maneuvers, so long as Brown did not sign with another team.

3) RB-Smith, Onterrio-Vikings. Drugs, alcohol, what have you. If your boy is suspended, you can still keep him, but you can't call him IR. He's still considered healthy...if you want to call substance abuse healthy.

MATERIALS UPDATED
Rosters and Availables sheets have been completely updated (right up to Jeff George and Kerry Collins), and 2006 Draft page now reflects how it all went down.

AVAILABLES
More complete than ever and now the RAS HTML link has further visible depth than the RAS PDF. It's not a matter of format favoritism but rather what's capable of fitting on a printed page vs. an electronic page. So now if you feel like picking up a 6th-string Cardinals receiver, you can!

2006 DRAFT ORDER
Only three trades were made last season that affected the draft order of 2006.

On October 5, 2005, WR-Stallworth, Donté-Saints was traded by Loeb to White Bear for Front's 2006 second-round draft pick acquired in the 2005 draft by White Bear.

Pregame Write-Ups from The Spyglass...

(#1) Como Park vs. (#3) Texas
Both squads escaped the divisional playoffs despite sloppy coaching with mucho points left on the sidelines. The Pongos have been trying to play the underdog role, but nobody's buying it. They are still the reigning champs and as dangerous as ever considering their historical dominance over the Showboats, especially in the postseason. You've got to figure they'll deliver a heavy dose of SA, and Shockey is probably a lock to start, but beyond that there are some question marks. Does Big Ben earn another starting nod with his perfomance last week? Do they opt for a double TE set or a single-back set? Perhaps a free agent is thrust into the line-up as the Pongos do have a history of making shrewd postseason acquisitions. For the Showboats, it's the Johnson & Johnson show. LJ has been a beast since taking over as the starter; and after a slow start, Rudi has turned into a monster. (Who put what into his Wheaties a few weeks ago?) Everything else is an Achilles' heel for the 'Boats right now (Dillon vs. Foster, the kicking game, QB, the WR corps). The Showboats are counting on a solid game from Trent and for DJax to inspire the WRs.

(#1) Edina vs. (#2) Nord'east
Edina cruised through the regular season on the strength of Manning, James, and Stephen Davis. Now Davis is on the shelf and both Manning and James figure to be pulled early against the Seahawks. Delhomme appears to be a reasonable replacement for Manning, but James' spot may be tougher to fill. The fullbacks on the roster have potential but are hit or miss and may not be any better than 3 quarters or even a half for James. Throughout the season, the Robber Barons have shown a knack for starting the right WR at the right time—they'll need more of that magic this week. Nord'east, on the other hand, appeared to be limping into the postseason with Eli at the helm, but Steve Smith re-emerged at just the right time and Ryan Moats breathed life into an RB group that had lost its way. Jamal Lewis had fallen so far out of favor that he wasn't even selected for the reserves list in the first-round playoff game. With his big performance Monday night, RB depth appears to be a strength again and the only question is whether to stick with Wayne or roll the dice with a wild card WR (either on or off roster) to pair up with Smith. In the end, this one may come down to which stud-K has a bigger game: Kaeding or Graham.

SCORING LEADERS
They have been updated and should be the final numbers for the season. We will continue to add playoff points to the chart, but position and player totals are frozen.

The Pipers strangled the #1 draft pick like an 18th century chicken farmer's wife. The Apocalypse dropped below three nonplayoff teams. The Speed rocket up the charts for a weaker draft position. Alexander, Manning (Peyton), Smith (Steve), and Graham sit atop their respective positions scoring lists. The Colts D was vastly improved but couldn't help the Pipers win games. Same for the Gryffindors and their Bears. In fantasy football, defense doesn't win games.

IR RULE - SLIGHT LANGUAGE CHANGE
The owner of the Loeb Lakers (and co-commissioner) made a terrific discovery and shared it with the San Francisco home office in an e-mail this morning:

"Ever since I noticed that little-used WRs (like my own Taylor, Jamaar-Giants) may be "hiding" in special teams, I checked the current IR players against the official roster site on NFL.com. It tells you if the player played even if he didn't catch a ball (i.e., special teams)."

This is a great feature of NFL.com. It should help to sort out two of the more troubling aspects of following IR-tagged players: 1) "Questionable" status and 2) No official IR status for players injured in training camp or early in the year but who do not touch the ball enough to register anywhere. Our current rule states:

"In cases in which a player did not run, catch, or throw a football during the prior week, being listed as questionable is also considered enough to be placed on IR. Players listed as questionable who were involved in the offense during the prior week are not eligible for IR, even if they left the game early."

Thanks to NFL.com and their improved tracking of player involvement in a game, whether or not they ran, caught, or threw a football, we can now ammend this WTFFL Rule Book paragraph to read:

"In cases in which a player did not play during the prior week, being listed as questionable is also considered enough to be placed on IR. Players listed as questionable who were involved in the offense during the prior week are not eligible for IR, even if they left the game early."

This will be an immediate adjustment unless the Rules Committee disagrees. It is not anticipated that they will. Better available information equals less guesswork. Like the Lakers owner said, it's often hard to determine the status of guys like Jamaar Taylor until they run into a big glub like Mike Tice. Now we have an NFL-sanctioned tool at our disposal to track down these fellas.

BTW
The Lightning won the first weekly high score award with very little fanfare. This week it was St. Paul. That's the St. Paul Gryffindors, not the St. Paul Lightning. The Lightning are now in Roseville. Where the Confederates used to me before they were the Communists. I think the 4D Division has an identity crisis. But they also have back-to-back weekly scoring titles.

ALL DROPS IN - THANK YOU
Trading may commence as soon as the Super Bowl is over. This year we will be instituting a deadline for all drops prior to Draft Day to avoid the last-minute dump at the event itself. It is felt that these drops are largely lost in the excitement of the event. That deadline will be something reasonable like two days prior to Draft Day. More on that in the summertime.

MEMORY REFRESHERS

  • Upper Arundel is a defunct franchise; they are our Canton Bulldogs.
  • The Loons are today's Robber Barons.
  • The Seahorses are today's Neandertals.
  • The Catfish are today's Alley Cats.
  • The Rastas are today's Vines.
COACHING PEDIGREE
  • David Stodolka, Laszlo Aranyos, William Alfveby, and Martin van Stoppel have all won two championships.
  • Anthony Palermo is the first coach in WTFFL history to win three championships, but the Pongos are not the first franchise with three victories.
  • The Neandertals have four championships under three different coaches.
  • The Neandertals franchise has appeared in the Whale Bowl six times, including five of the last nine Whale Bowls.
  • Laszlo Aranyos has been in the most Whale Bowls, collecting five appearances.
  • Gregory Michael Sax has the next most (if not much success) with four appearances in the Whale Bowl.
  • Johnathan Schmall, Anthony Palermo, David Calkins, and Martin van Stoppel have all been to the Whale Bowl three times.
YOU'LL GET THERE (The Bunnies Hope Award)
Now that Front has finally made it to the Whale Bowl (and is an early favorite for next year), there are only two franchises that have yet to be in the final game of the season: the Centerville Communists and the Highland Park Apocalypse.

The Communists began as the Cottage Grove Flowers in 1992 and changed the team name to the Pooh Bears in their second week of existence. After that first, turbulent season, ownership switched hands to Jannosh "Johnny" Aranyos in 1993, and the franchise was renamed the North End Confederates. There was a short move to Roseville in 1995 followed by four more years in St. Paul's North End under the new name of Communists. The team moved again to Centerville in 1999 and enjoyed their best season ever in 2003.

The Apocalypse began as the Madison Baldcats in 1991, moved to Arlington Heights in 1992 where the team name was changed to the Cranky Rottweilers. In 1993, the franchise name went to Little Canada with a new coach, Christine Rein, but she put a new stamp on the team in 1994 as the Highland Park Apocalypse. Times have been tough since, but Highland Park has one thing Centerville does not: a final-four appearance.

SCORING TITLE
The Como Park Pongos win their second ever scoring title on the strength of an incredible evening of Drew Bennett highlights. For old time's sake, I hope the Pongos owner is seen wearing an Andre Rison jersey this week. Starting last year, we allowed that the winner get to name their wish-list players (as many as you want or say "no preference"). There's no guarantee anyone will listen but the list will be taken into consideration. Still, one is every bit as likely to get Aaron Stecker as Shaun Alexander. Amos Zereoue will have to be weighed equally with T.O. Could it be Culpepper or Kenny Watson?

RIVALRY WEEK
Don't know if you noticed yet, but this week is a big one for just about everyone in the league as we all match up against division rivals. This is how the schedule is supposed to work.

ON IR
RB-Hollings, Tony-Texans (Neandertals)
RB-Holmes, Priest-Chiefs (Neandertals)

The Chiefs have placed Priest Holmes on the injured list as DOUBTFUL, but they're also being coy about his playing status. He is officially allowed to be on the WTFFL IR for now, so don't anybody flip out if his status suddenly changes on gameday and Grog puts him in the line-up. If Hamline can try to start three injured guys, then Maple Grove should be allowed one.

BID AMENDMENT
A no-brainer rule amendment I would like to establish that I don't think the rule book currently covers is that no bids can be made when you are over the legal limit of 12 healthy players. If you have a problem with this, speak up, but I'm pretty sure you'll all agree on this one.

FOR FUTURE DISCUSSION
I think we may want to raise our fines next year as has been suggested in the past. We'll talk about fines at the next draft and come to some sort of agreement. There will be no fine changes this year.

Let's look at a Lions example: Kevin Jones is IR, Roy Williams is not, even though they are both on the Q. Jones didn't play, Williams did. Our IR lists would be that much bulkier if we allowed all Questionable players to be IR. We created the "week before" clause to reduce our IR numbers and to better reflect the actual playing status of many Questionable players. It all comes back to Steve McNair.

If it's any consolation, the term "touches the ball" is worth paying careful attention to. A guy can play in a game and not get a catch, run, or throw and be considered IR the following week from the Questionable list. This is supposed to account for guys that suit up and get in on the first series or so and find that they can't really do it.

Probable players are always NOT eligible for IR. Out and Doubtful players ARE always eligible for IR.

If you have further questions, contact a league officer. The IR rules shouldn't be a surprise to anyone at this point. We've been going like this with some amount of success for more than a year now. It's working well to keep our rosters trim and IR reporting abuses (whether by NFL or WTFFL coaches) to a near impossibility. Some situations will seem unfair, but more often than not, it works out.

If you believe that a guy is a true IR case despite his paltry Questionable listing, send a story that proves your player will not be playing or simply take the fine. As long as you don't make too much of a habit of taking fines, it is a reasonable tactic for some scenarios (e.g., Highland Park's extended kicker tryout).

OFF IR
RB-McAllister, Deuce-Saints (Bunnies) - This one doesn't seem right, but the Saints have listed him as only questionable and he did play last week. This will probably be a game time decision.

IR DENIALS
Unless you can find a report to prove otherwise, the following requests for IR status cannot be issued due to the following reasons:

RB-Morris, Sammy-Dolphins (Neandertals) - listed as PROBABLE

WR-Williams, Reggie-Jaguars (Robber Barons) - listed as PROBABLE

WR-Pinkston, Todd-Eagles (Speed) - listed as PROBABLE

WR-Lloyd, Brandon-49ers (Dirty Dogs) - listed as QUESTIONABLE; played last week; but no fine to Oregon for holding on to one extra player; this one is understandable (and he may end up on IR at game time)

COMMISH@WHALETIME.NET
For bids and starters, DO NOT use bids@whaletime.net, b@whaletime.net, or starters@whaletime.net anymore. We are trying one main address called commish@whaletime.net this year. Commit it to memory or, better yet, save it to your e-mailer "Contacts" folder

Nearly as important: Label your Subject line so your business is known right away as either a Bid or your Starters. It helps.

I'll be doing my best to keep up with daily NFL drops as we lead into the regular season. If you catch something that I miss, let me know. But give me a couple of days first.

Sunday, August 29, 2004

 
DRAFT DAY
Great draft, everybody. Emmitt's skipping stones at Loeb Lake again, Keyshawn's back to making an ass of himself at the Roseville TGI Friday's, and apparently former MVP Rich Gannon is so washed up that he wasn't worth going in the first 100 picks of a keeper league!

It should all make for great drama in another spectacular season. Look for full WTFFL and NFL schedules in the coming days.

Friday, August 27, 2004

 
DROPS
If you are dropping anymore players before the draft, please be ready to share your drops right away so the Availables can be updated.

Thursday, August 26, 2004

 
TRADE
QB-Plummer, Jake-Broncos (Alley Cats), WR-Lelie, Ashley-Broncos (Alley Cats) and 2004 2nd-Round Pick (#18 overall) from White Bear to San Francisco for 2004 1st-Round Pick (#6 overall).

RB-Forsey, Brock-Bears (Alley Cats)
WR-Booker, Marty-Bears (Screagles; traded from Bears to Dolphins)
WR-Gilmore, Bryan-Cardinals (Communists; now with Dolphins)
WR-Morris, Sylvester-Chiefs (Communists; now with Buccaneers)

QB-Tuiasosopo, Marques-Raiders (Speed)
RB-Fuamatu-Ma'afala, Chris-Jaguars (Buzz)
RB-Shipp, Marcel-Cardinals (Speed)
RB-Gordon, Lamar-Rams (Showboats)

DROPPINGS & INJURIES
The league will happily take your planned drops before Draft Day. Waiting until the day of the draft to clean house often leads to delays, so if you're ready to dump, please do so now.

IR is back. Injuries will be taken into account to help the poor Pongos fill their roster. But we'll also be watching to see if Mr. Shockey or Mr. Morton return to the lineup before the regular season begins. Jureviscius is a guaranteed loss into the season.

MISTAKES: DON'T BE SHY
If you see something wrong, please say something and we'll remedy the situation as soon as possible. Even little things like name spellings and format oddities. Like on the fullbacks page, I noticed some misalignment within the tables. I'll fix that for the next update (which will be before the draft, don't you worry).

Playoff Teams: Please don't forget to include three reserves (in order and NOT including a kicker) with your starters.

TRADE DEADLINE
The trade deadline has passed. No more trading until after the Whale Bowl.

ALL-STAR GAME
After the Whale Bowl, we're still not quite done with competition, as the U and V play each other in the annual all-star game. One guy or defense from each WTFFL team chosen based on how many points the coach expects them to score throughout the NFL playoffs. It's a tough task and beer money for next year's draft depends on it.

Tricky thing is, I can never remember who the coach is. I think it's the Whale Bowl reps, but I'm also starting to think that going to the Whale Bowl might be honor enough. For now, that's still the call, but John suggested maybe we go with the U and V runner-ups like they do in the NFL Pro Bowl.

Further, we could go with a random roll of the 8-sided dice. The D&D geek in me kinda likes that option. I'm looking for any outstanding opinions, and I'm not into change for the sake of change. I'm just into spreading the wealth whenever possible.

For instance, Marty Booker qualifies as IR because he did not catch a pass last week and he is listed as questionable. Unless somebody saw him in on a play, we assume no touch equals no play.

McCARDELL DISCUSSION - DEFENSIVE SCORE?
In case any of you were wondering, we do not treat fumble returns by offensive players as defensive points. Here's why...

The offensive unit is still on the field and should be treated as such until the play is over. If you have happen to have Keenan McCardell and the Bucs D, you could get 12 points for the same touchdown. Our rules have been written to avoid this for special teams play and for guys like Deion Sanders. It creates a dangerous precedent (well, not dangerous, really, but daunting at least). We don't ever want the same score to go to two places, no matter how rare the occurrence.

The closest statement we have in the Rule Book is the one that says a defensive score shall be awarded to the D and not to an individual player. If we applied this to the McCardell play, McCardell would not get the points. The players are the blood of our league, so we try to encourage scores being applied to them over team defense.

This was not an unprecedented incident. We have had guys score on offensive fumble returns. A running back will drop the ball, some defensive guy will pick it up, he'll drop the ball, and someone else on the offensive squad will pick it up and run it in. The NFL boxscore will indicate a fumble return. We have traditionally treated this as an offensive TD. Marty recalled an incident a few weeks back involving the Ravens. My state recalled a governor.

For further information, please consult the Rule Book.

NEED TO DROP
Lakers, Pongos, Apocalypse: 1 defense each
Lakers: 2 offensive players (as in ripe with stink)

RULE CHANGES AND AMENDMENTS
It is now mandatory to drop down to 12 healthy players by Thursday midnight. We have finally eliminated the "in a timely manner" wishy wash. You DO NOT have to drop guys on the Sunday of the week of your new pickups. You get to try them out and see how they do. You have until Thursday to get within the 12-man boundary again of face fines. It has been determined that this tryout period doesn't hurt any of the other league members, because all the excess will be back in the bidding pool before Friday, giving everyone at least two full days to assess anything thrown back in the mix.

Being over the limit gets a $2/player fine with fines doubling in each successive week (e.g., if you are two players over the limit, on the second week, your fines are $8 for that week for a total of $12 over two weeks).

If you still do not understand rules regarding Injured Reserve, please let me or Laci know. So far this season, I would say that everything has been done according to existing rules. You are telling me when you want to put a guy on IR, and in just about every case, it has made perfect sense by our IR standards. For very obvious IR news, I don't bother to wait for you to tell me you want to put a guy on IR. These cases include guys like Marshall Faulk, Joe Jurevicius, and Chad Pennington. I can imagine that there may still be questions about "questionable," but it's as simple as this: If your guy is listed as questionable, you can only put him on IR after he has sat out a complete game. I'm tempted to call this the Steve McNair Rule, because he's a guy that practically lives on the questionable list but still manages to put up Pro Bowl numbers.

There seems to be one nagging question about IR and that is whether or not you can start guys that are listed on the Rosters PDF sheet as "(IR)." Yes, you can under what we're calling the Bulger Amendment.

Bulger Amendment:
If you start a player designated with an IR tag when you have at least 13 players (including both healthy and IR) on your roster, you MUST immediately remove the IR designation and drop to the proper number of players to assure a maximum of 12 healthy players.

Our strict IR eligibility requirements should be enough to help keep these instances to a minimum. "Doubtful" guys are rarely upgraded to game-time decisions between Thursday's NFL injury report and Sunday's kickoff. But I believe we must leave room for this to happen. Let's say Culpepper is listed as doubtful (i.e., eligible for IR) on Thursday and is upgraded on Saturday to eligible for play and at noon on Sunday to starter. I don't want a scenario where he can't be used in the game because of some label from three days earlier. He should be allowed to play. The Bulger Amendment will be the answer to this occasional quandary.

Our existing Rulebook currently states something to the effect of "If the FF team puts a player on IR they CANNOT start him." It's true that the Rulebook wording could be interpreted in this erroneous way, so it will be made easier to understand. I share with you what our founding Rulebook author had in mind when he created the IR language a decade ago:

JOHN (as stated on 12-18-02): "I always intended the IR language to mean that you'd better drop somebody if the 'IR' guy you are starting puts your roster at 13+.

John added some comments last week that forced the Rules Committee to add further polish to our understanding of the Rulebook and forced me to think of a couple of scenarios to share with you here because I'm psycho-crazy about building a full understanding of our cool-ass system.

JOHN (as stated last week):
"...leave the door open for someone to be able to make an early Sunday drop in order to start a Questionable player who was on IR on Thursday but the "game-time decision" indicated he would play."

This one's interesting, because there are actually two ways this could go in terms of drops:

SCENARIO ONE:
You win bids on two healthy, eligible players and now your roster is at 13 healthy and 1 IR at noon on Sunday. You learn that your IR guy is going to start for his NFL team; you start him for your WTFFL team. You need not drop anyone because you were at 11 healthy players before the news your IR guy was playing. The two new purchases are still in "tryout" mode and don't need to be dropped until Thursday at midnight.

SCENARIO TWO:
You make no bids, you have 12 healthy players and 1 IR. You learn 15 minutes before kickoff that the IR guy is going to start. You choose to start him, which means you MUST drop a guy on the spot since you're now carrying 13 healthy, veteran players.

FINES ISSUED
Lightning - for 2 players over roster for second week; Pipers - for 1 player over roster. Come on, now. Let's get things square.

CORRECTION
RB-Cason, Aveion-Cowboys and RB-Gary, Olandis-Lions were erroneously added to the wrong teams. Cason is a Piper; Gary is a Pongo.

REALIGNMENT
You may recall that there was some discussion of realignment at the draft. The move would involve Oregon and Napa Valley moving to the Cetacean Division and White Bear and Highland Park moving up to the 4D. There were several interesting reasons to do this, but after all is said and done, I think we're better off just leaving things the way they are. We would be breaking up some interesting, evolving rivalries, and I'm not real into toying with what seems to be working.

There was some concern over a Hamline/Highland Park final or a Napa Valley/San Francisco final putting all the marbles in one household, but I honestly don't think this should be a worry. Think of it like Giants/Jets, Yankees/Mets, White Sox/Cubs, Giants/A's, Angels/Dodgers...

NEED TO DROP
Lightning - 2 Players; Pipers - 1 Player.

FINES ISSUED
Lightning - for 2 players over roster; Pipers - for 3 players over roster. We're all friends, but fines are a necessary evil to keep us in touch. We have to keep things fair. We can't all wait until our kicker gets dropped to make our decision easier.

VERNACULAR
From the Chicago WTFFL Financial Center: I think that it's time to formally incorporate the verb "parmelee" into the common WTFFL lingo meaning getting beat or beating an opponent on Monday night with an overachieving (2+TD) career performance by some nobody.

DEBT
Message From the Treasurer: Just a quick reminder that your debt is due to me before Super Bowl Sunday. If you owe $10 or more, a 10% penalty will be applied if you don't pay by the due date. Make checks payable to "John Schmall" and send to:

John Schmall
4950 N Marine Dr #1507
Chicago IL 60640

DRAFT HOSTING
So far Nord'east is the only team that has stepped forward as a possible host. An exploratory committee has been set up to determine the feasibility of the champ hosting his own coming out party.

OFFSEASON LIMIT
Our season is over, so the IR slate is now wiped clean. We all must be down to 12 players (no exceptions) by the Pro Bowl (extended while harassment of the last couple of owners who have not yet complied continues; they better hope no free-agent moves go down while I'm waiting). The penalty is severe for infractions, and we will give you every opportunity not to be penalized. You will lose your first-round draft pick! There has been a lot of talk of roster fairness as we approach the draft. This should take care of arguments for a bit. Thank John for the rule change. He's crazier than I am.
