How bad is this? - Commish changes a teams lineup

Recommended Posts

Ok, I am treasurer.

 

One team never paid and Commish never really did anything about it. Before the season I insisted that the 3rd place game be for money. After the team that never paid was out of the playoffs, I offered to pay that players $30 buy in so the payouts would remain the same. Only one player said thanks.

 

The Commish is in the 3rd place game. 3rd place game is supposed to be for $30.

 

So I said, "Since I never got a buy in for team X, it would be nice if we could just cancel the payout for the 3rd place game. That way I only have to send out one check (since I am in the championship). However, if the winner of the third place game really wants a check, I will send one." figuring I know both of those guys, one is the commish ... who never did shiat about the non-payer.

 

No response from commish. Then Thursday .... DURING THE GAME, my lineup changes. Steve Smith gets put in. Stewart gets benched. I asked the commish, "Did you change my lineup?" and commish sends out a league wide message TODAY: "You are damn right I changed your lineup! I know if you were in the third place game, you would demand to be paid." and then kinda sets it back to how it was, but now Stewart is still on the bench and I can't plug him back in.

 

WWYD?

I'm considering recalling my offer to pay the extra buy in, and offering 10% of the total prize pool to that game. I woulda just paid them the buy in back if they asked, but this sh!t has really pissed me off.

I'm freaking confused. Anyone understand what happened here? Someone didn't pay and played all season?!?

:thumbsdown:

:wacko:

 

Yes. Commish never really did shiat about it. Actually the player was always late in setting his lineup and last week of the regular season had 2 players in that were not playing. AGAINST THE COMMISH. He woulda won either way, but the commish refused to put in players from his bench for that game.

 

And then thursday, DURING THE GAME .... the commish goes and focks with my lineup, just because I was saying the 3rd place payout should be canceled.

 

So fock 'em. I'm not paying the extra buy in. It will go 3rd place 10%, most points: 10%, first: 50% and second 30% of total pool.

He is very hard to understand when he talks to him self. Here this video of 'giantsfan' singing will hopefully explain to you what his problem is.

There have been so many other issues. One guy called another guys daughter a "little biach" but not spelled that way. Another guy accused me and another team (we almost made the superbowl against each other) of collusion and NEVER shut the f up about it. Another team told me to STFU and threatened to have me banned from all major venues in Vegas because I "talked too much".

 

All over a $30 buy in league, where only 9 out of 12 teams paid at all. (2 said from the start they were not buying in). $270 total pool.

 

It's been the most bush league .... league .... I've ever played in.

Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

You are the treasurer. Screw everybody. Be fair, go with the lineup you originally had. If it would have won, pay yourself 1st place money, send second place his money and screw the commish and 3nd place. Tell him to go get the $30 from the non-payer.

 

Grow a pair. He who has the most money has the power.

But what if the other guy wins? He deserves to be paid. What's funny is these are the only 2 guys in the league I know in real life and they are DEMANDING I pay them. So fock 'em. They get 10%.

 

I also said, "Screw you, everyone know's who I started, I can do my own math."

I'll obviously be in the minority here but in your original post you state, "I offered to pay that players $30 buy in so the payouts would remain the same"

 

Now you're welshing on what you said.

Douche move by you and another by your commissioner.

 

Why anyone would play in a league where some are playing for $ and others aren't is beyond me though. You don't think from jump that is setting the entire league up for failure?

Brilliance all around.

It was not my idea. I would have preferred to just have a 10 team league. But one player just failed to pay. He was supposed to pay, but never did and I am no longer accepting checks.

 

Your right, it is a welch to say I would pay $60 when everyone else paid $30, but this move .... changing my lineup .... changed my mind.Really it was the commish's job to enforce that as paid, and for him to want $30, when I paid double .... it's just absurd.

Quit wasting our time with this....tell your mother to switch back your lineup and make your sister pay her league fees!

You're the treasurer. Keep all the money until everyone pays the original buy-in. Tell the Commish to get his deadbeat leaguers to pay ahead of time next year while you're at it.

It's obviously not about the money when 2 people that didn't pay were fighting over the 5th place game. One guy called the other guys wife a "little b" ... his daughter .... a "little b" .... it was a :popcorn: moment.

 

But this is just the last straw. The Commish refuses to instigate any kind of anti-tank rules and then changes MY LINEUP in the CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!?

 

Unheard of level of doushbaggery.

 

I've told the league what the payouts will be. End of story.

 

Call me a welcher, it's clear to me that nobody else would just forfeit an extra buy in to the prize pool. Why should I do it for them? I could place second and win $12 that way.

I'm sure there will be more drama. This whole year has been whiney biatches. I really want to place first and validate my Vick plus the KC running game concept. I plan to take it home.

 

But I will payout what is fair. I mean if I hafta send a check to the Commish for $30 if he wins third, and I make $12 for runner up .... that's just stupid on my part.

Sorry Giants Fan is a giant Poosay. If the worst that happens in your league is calling someones daughter a giant douche, then that ain't a REAL LEAGUE.

 

I tell guys in my league I'm gonna eat their girlfriends unborn children in a "matchup" smack talk format. I hold NOTHING back. I am the KING.

 

Aces over king all day. Come get some son.

 

One time, it was kings over aces, it was awesome. I was thinking of sipping on one of those Sipps iced tea drinks from the 80's, but they only had hi-c boxes at the casino. I'm not sure why they had them, but i decided it was time to go retro. Epic fail. They tasted like they were from the 90's stuffed in a storage locker. Just plain awful. Oh well, the guy serving them had a bald head with little red hairs coming out. It was crazy. Like the guy from the original Dune, but not flying around. Anyways, it was pretty epic.

I know huh?

 

It was all cold the other day, and I couldn't find my leather jacket. It's weird because it was just at the foot of the bed. But I couldn't find it so I threw on my old NYC winter coat. Showed up in the poker room and it sucked. I looked like a flasher. Walked in and said, "Put me on the list for 1/2" and they said, "I hope you got clothes on under that."

 

Totally didn't think about it .... wearing shorts ...... with a winter coat. That's Arizona.

 

Full length coat. Put on the back of my chair and people were stepping on it. Not a good coat to wear to an Arizona casino.

So you insisted that 3rd place be paid. Then decided to pay the fees of a guy not in the playoffs. Then all of a sudden change your mind and tell the league you think 3rd place shouldn't be paid. :dunno: :doh:

 

YOU insisted and volunteered, then abused your treasury power.

COMMISH Showed you he can abuse power and decipher who gets paid as well. :lol:

Okay, so I had a night to think about this (because I was quite enamored with your story :rolleyes: and :sleep:) and this is what I have come up with...

You are the Dude (followers of Dudeism, please forgive me...) an Mr. Lebowski is the Commissioner. I guess the other guy (there is another idiot, right?) is Brandt.

 

I would sarcastically 'thank you' for wasting our time with this pathetic story, but I think it's good that we all see this- so we realize during this holiday season how unfortunate some are. :shocking:

If I were in your shoes, I would spend the offseason trying to cultivate a better class of friends. Although I realize that's probably a stretch.
