DaDanimal 2 Posted November 12, 2012 yeah...unfortunately I've somehow managed to go 8-1 until this week and sit at 1st alone. The teams below me have lost too so I'm safe for another week...but the team with the most points is primed to come back and win it tomorrow night and jump to 2nd and face me in Week 11. Stressful.

vash1012 19 Posted November 12, 2012 What time was the website down today? Does anyone know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 2,257 Posted November 12, 2012 It actually saved me. I had Reece in my lineup and then right before kickoff I was going to switch to Jones. 15 point swing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IAMWood 6 Posted November 12, 2012 Were those guys game time decisions? I look at my lineups at least once a day, I don't wait til 11:45 am to make a decision, power could be out, website down....etc.. I make my decisions based I what I know each day. Knowing I may not be able to switch people out at the last minute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are seriously awesome if you never have a last minute change of heart or let anything get in the way, like life, of having your roster 100% set at all times of the week.

jgilkey513 6 Posted November 12, 2012 Why not just email the commish and let him know what you were trying to switch out? As long as the email is time-stamped before 1:00pm I don't see why this is such a big deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike FF Today 723 Posted November 12, 2012 Received this about 4:00 AM Central this morning... Dear Yahoo! Fantasy Users, I want to sincerely apologize to all of you about today's Yahoo! Sports Fantasy outage. As the head of Yahoo! Sports and as a Yahoo! Sports fantasy player myself, I am disappointed that we failed all of our fans today. Our first priority is having the best experience for our users, and today we fell short. The outage started around Noon ET (awful timing we know) and while our team was on it immediately we are still working on various pieces. Our team is continuing to work on identifying and resolving the root cause. We have restored full functionality on the website, and we're working for a final fix for our mobile apps. Currently data and scores can be viewed but for now you cannot make transactions or change line-ups from the apps. We will also use today as an opportunity to improve our set-up so that we hopefully never have an outage like this again. Our fantasy commissioners and players are our biggest priority - we pride ourselves in being able to offer our users with the best fantasy sports experience possible and we take our job to deliver that to you very seriously. Rest assured we will work hard to make sure we continue to deliver on that commitment. Thanks for playing with us and your patience today, Ken Fuchs Head of Yahoo! Sports Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ralphster 274 Posted November 12, 2012 Dear Kevin, Fuchs you. You really fuchsed everything up yesterday and followed it up with a contemptible fuchsing email that does nothing to erase the taste of loss after I couldn't switch out Hernandez after I saw he was out at 11am yesterday morning. I wish you and the fuchshead hapless dunce hat donning clown shoe wearing brigade of worthless pukes you call engineers could fly in reverse around the earth like Superman to rewind time and undo the damage your EPIC FAIL caused. Barring that, I'd be happy with the your home address so that I could initiate you into one of the more beloved rituals around here at FFToday; house/face/punch/wife/kids. Sincerely, Ralphster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's called common sense; get some! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ralphster 274 Posted November 12, 2012 Fantasy Football was played prior to all these websites. You're absolutely correct Otto. Back in the days of calling in your lineups by midnight, picking the Monday paper for the box scores, etc etc. Then Al Gore invented the interwebs and shortly thereafter yahoo started fantasy football. Progress is sometimes a thing of beauty and sometimes a thing of maddening happenstance. I started this thread to rail at the maddening happenstance. Thanks for bringing me back to old times though.
