I, Erogenous Zone, am Zack Moss. I acknowledge it appears odd that I just now put a claim in for myself, but I was irrelevant earlier this year. So much so even my pet gerbil Randy would violently puke at the mere sight of me.
Achilles Heel at Dec 22, 2022 2:03 PM -
I mean, Zack Moss was available to everyone three days ago...
To recap, I started that auction on Sunday while I was still alive in the playoffs. I didn't survive, I was over the limit, so I just cut Moss.
Really the issue here is that Huskies didn't trade me a QB when I needed one, otherwise I would still be alive in the playoffs and none of this would have happened...
Los Angeles Dons at Dec 22, 2022 2:01 PM -
I gotcha.
Ludicrous Speed at Dec 22, 2022 1:52 PM -
Yeah, I’m not going to accuse anyone of anything. Mostly I’m upset that I didn’t get the claim haha.
Team To Be Named Later at Dec 22, 2022 1:51 PM -
And let me clarify that I do not think cutting Mike White or Zack Moss is actually "egregious." Both are justifiable cuts as likely non-factors for contending teams.
Ludicrous Speed at Dec 22, 2022 1:51 PM -
I can tell you with 100% certainty that there's no smoke here... these two people have never met in real life, and I can verify I know them both and I am the only common link. LA Dons invited me to the league; I invited EZ the following year.
Not to speak for LA Dons, but Zack Moss probably got dropped because:
A) he sucks...his best case scenario is a committee back on a bad team, and his best game of the year was last week where he scored 8 fantasy points in a game where his team scored 36 points;
and
B) LA Dons probably wants to do their annual splurge on NFL draft-eligible guys now that they've been eliminated from the playoffs, but it won't let you do that when your team is over the limit (which it was, and that cut put him at 21/21 so he can do his thing). Cutting anyone else on his roster for the same purpose would have been just as egregious; even cutting Mike White is potentially handing someone a useful starting QB during the championship week.
Lastly, in all likelihood this is a non-issue as Zack Moss shouldn't sniff EZ's starting lineup unless there's a series of unfortunate events that befall 12 random football players that are all better than Zack Moss, akin to the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant Softball Team.
Don't read anything into it more than it is.
Ludicrous Speed at Dec 22, 2022 1:48 PM -
How does Zack Moss get dropped in the playoffs? ?
Team To Be Named Later at Dec 22, 2022 1:21 PM -
Just being silly of course guys ;) The randomness that is fantasy football just means the best laid strategies are guaranteed to fail. But at least There is always next year
HU6KIES at Dec 17, 2022 5:36 PM -
So sorry Dons that I hurt your feelings by not accepting your trade. Please let the other ladies you work with at the flower shop know that I apologize for offending your delicate sensibilities.
HU6KIES at Dec 17, 2022 4:54 PM -
Better than chicken wire and duct tape, you could have had Keenan Allen, Huskies! Probably would have earned yourself a playoff berth at my expense. Holding onto three good quarterbacks in a one-quarterback league is a strategy, but maybe not one to get you in the playoffs!
Los Angeles Dons at Dec 17, 2022 3:08 PM -
Hahahahaha that's superb
Ludicrous Speed at Dec 12, 2022 2:35 PM -
Not my joke by the way…hope it does not offend ;)
HU6KIES at Dec 12, 2022 12:57 PM -
Ludicrous… no worries. I think most of us feel like we are with you just and trying to keep our rosters someways together using chicken wire and duct tape…which reminds me of a little joke
An old man is sitting on his front porch one morning, enjoying the weather and having a cup of coffee.
Suddenly he sees a young boy walking down the road carrying several rolls of duct tape. This obviously makes him curious so he calls out, "hey son, what are you doing with all that duct tape?" The little boy replies, "I'm going to catch some ducks sir!" The old man chuckles and calls out, "son don't be silly. You can't catch ducks with duct tape!" The little boy just smiles and yells "well I'm gonna try."
Several hours pass and the old man is out in his yard when the little boy walks past him dragging a whole bunch of ducks. The old man just scratches his head and go's about his business.
The next morning the old man is having his morning coffee on the porch as usual and the little boy comes walking down the road. As he gets closer the old man notices he is carrying a bunch of chicken wire. He wonders what the lad is up to so he calls out "excuse me young man! What's all that chicken wire for?" The little boy calls out "I'm going to catch me some chickens!" The old man scoffs and says "son that's not what chicken wire is for! You're not gonna get any chickens with that!" The young boy happily crys out "well I'm gonna try!"
Later that day the old man notices the boy walking down the road dragging several chickens. He shakes his head and says, "well I'll be damned".
A few days later the old man is on his porch, having his morning coffee when the same little boy comes running down the road carrying a bundle of sticks. The old man wonders what this is all about so he calls out "hey son! What do you got there?" The little boy yells back, "pussy willows sir!" The old man stands up and says "wait up, let me grab my hat".
HU6KIES at Dec 12, 2022 12:52 PM -
Apologies for claiming and then immediately cutting the two Pats WRs. It was my intent to start one of them since Kadarius Toney was ruled out. Then I forgot to bench Toney, so he's in my lineup with a zero spot. Wasn't trying to pull any chicanery there.
Almost made a nice rally to make the playoffs but fell short, including this week's ass beating. Good luck to all in the playoffs!
Ludicrous Speed at Dec 12, 2022 11:50 AM -
Well, this has certainly not turned out to be the year of Ludicrous Speed.
The rebuild begins. Send me some offers.
Ludicrous Speed at Oct 11, 2022 9:58 AM -
Welcome, we’re glad to have you. Please message me your cuts and I can edit your roster without penalty.
Team To Be Named Later at Aug 25, 2022 5:22 PM -
Hey guys, I took over for "some wins maybe" its not the best roster but ill make it work. The draft time works fine for me. Any way I can make some cuts before the draft?
Fairhaven Bulldogs at Aug 25, 2022 4:27 PM -
some wins maybe and Buffalow Expectations abandoned their teams. If anyone has a friend that wants to join this league and claim one of those teams, let us know.
Los Angeles Dons at Aug 17, 2022 4:16 PM -
Based on the draft availability chart, the draft has been set for Tuesday, August 30 at 5:30pm PT / 8:30pm ET.
Los Angeles Dons at Aug 11, 2022 7:44 PM -
Looks like it. I sent reminders to the three teams that haven't responded to the availability sheet, and I'll give them one more day to have their say.
Los Angeles Dons at Aug 10, 2022 11:42 AM -
So based on the availability spreadsheet it looks like 8/30 is the likely choice for a draft?
HU6KIES at Aug 9, 2022 9:57 PM -
I heard these message boards support HTML. Let’s see if I know what I’m doing. Here is the link to the draft availability sheet. Fill it out if you haven’t.
Los Angeles Dons at Aug 7, 2022 8:03 PM -
What's up with Shoopy and Who Throws A Shoe? Let's get those cuts in fellas! Two pillars of the WFFL community! (Also Shoopy is $91 over the cap with only 13 players on roster! Are you Steve Cohen?)
Ludicrous Speed at Aug 1, 2022 9:10 AM -
Here is a google doc to enter your draft availability:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EqEVnn_3aI1fHDMPWML4Al2QjiIXNt-6XeDVmglBEBs/edit?usp=sharing
To get an idea of where everyone is located, I included a space to enter your time zone. Otherwise, just declare your availability with a green (available), yellow (available but not ideal) or red (not available).
Los Angeles Dons at Jul 29, 2022 1:28 PM -
I’m buried at work right now, I’d appreciate you setting that up! Will make you co-commish if you want!
Team To Be Named Later at Jul 29, 2022 12:47 PM -
Can we set a draft date and time? Maybe a Google doc to capture everyone’s availability? I can set one up if that’s what the commissioner would like to do.
Los Angeles Dons at Jul 29, 2022 11:51 AM -
I see that EZ and Luda satisfied each other with an alternative deal, but for the record, I think their back-up plan/solution was fine and neither would have gained an advantage over the rest of the league. Interested to hear if anyone can poke holes in it, though. Would be nice if the site just allowed for the trading of cap space before the season started.
Los Angeles Dons at Jul 25, 2022 5:18 PM -
It's a change of ownership.
Team To Be Named Later at Jul 25, 2022 5:13 PM -
Personally I'm trying to figure out if the change from Valley Heat to Bout That Action Boss is a rebranding or a change in ownership!?
Ludicrous Speed at Jul 25, 2022 4:46 PM -
Cool. Go to see the active engagement by teams. Is everyone back for the new season?
HU6KIES at Jul 25, 2022 4:18 PM -
Dearest leaguemates -- EZ and I reached an alternative solution, so you can disregard the request.
Ludicrous Speed at Jul 25, 2022 4:06 PM -
Greetings, dearest leaguemates!
The Erogenous Zone and I have agreed on a trade with a caveat that the league doesn't appear to allow. Wanted to post it to you all so we are above board and not ruffle any feathers.
After weeks of extremely tense negotiations, the agreed-upon trade is myself receiving DJ Moore ($32) and EZ receiving David Montgomery ($47) AND $5 of cap space. Unfortunately, Otto doesn't allow trading cap space until the season starts. I'm not sure why, considering the $400 used in the draft is the same $400 used throughout the season.
Anyway, EZ have come up with a backup plan:
1) We will execute the Moore-Montgomery trade now, with only the players included.
2) During the draft, we will draft each other's kickers or other $1 guys of equal value.
3) We will trade kickers or other $1 guys post-draft. At that time, I will send him the $5 in cap room.
Does anyone object to this plan? If so, that's fine, we will come up with something else. But we thought this was the easiest and most honorable option!
Ludicrous Speed at Jul 25, 2022 1:10 PM -
I like the trade but if you want reverse it I’m good
MyAnalyticsAreBetter at Jul 19, 2022 11:04 PM -
I support vetoing the Burks/Cooks trade. It’s clear from the note that came with the trade that SWM meant to decline. I don’t think this is a team vote for veto league right? I didn’t see a way to review pending trades and vote.
Ludicrous Speed at Jul 19, 2022 5:21 PM -
Just updated my trading block. It's mostly guys I am going to cut, but I added a few keeper worthy that I will otherwise hang onto. Highlights include Metcalf, Ekeler, Mahomes and Waller.
Los Angeles Dons at Jul 19, 2022 5:13 PM -
Hello to the league I hit the wrong button on the trade that sent Trelon Burks to MyAnalytics I would like it to be vetoed for it was a complete mistake

If we are set on finding a new owner, I'd suggest doing so sooner rather than later. They may want a hand in the arbitration process and seeing how that works -- this will be my first go through too. But they may also want to start looking over their inherited roster and strategizing.
