I'm good with it
Stoolblasters at Jun 14, 2023 4:08 PM -
Hey there everyone. I claimed the team but am not necessarily committed yet. I see that the previous owner did not participate in arbitration. I wanted to reach out and see if I could participate in arbitration now at this late date? I know it’s late, but we still have over a month before cuts. When I’ve taken over teams in the past, I’ve usually been able to complete arbitration without any issues, so I just wanted to see everyone’s thoughts on the issue. Thanks.

Welcome to the league Playbook!
Sin Fransicko Forty Nightmares at Mar 18, 2023 1:50 PM -
Hi all - I picked up the team formerly known as No Punt Intended. Looking forward to competing this season.
Bring Your Playbook at Mar 18, 2023 10:01 AM -
Hey everyone, I hope the off-season is going well! Just a reminder that arbitration is open and must be completed by 3/31. Don’t forget you need to assign at least $1 per team or none of your activity will count.
Sin Fransicko Forty Nightmares at Mar 9, 2023 9:49 AM -
I mentioned this previously - but just confirming that I won't be returning for 2023 season either. Thanks all

I will not be back for the 2023 season
Teenage Mutant Njigba Turtles at Feb 12, 2023 10:55 AM -
Hi all,
As a Bills fan - this week has been difficult for sure. My current thoughts are as far from Fantasy Football as they've ever been, and while it seems as though the Ottoneu leadership has a plan forward I wanted to make it known that I have no interest in debating the outcome of the championship regardless of the result of the Bills/Bengals game and I'm happy to concede to Stoolblasters although any other outcome was highly unlikely as it is.
It has been an excellent season and I've enjoyed building this discarded franchise back up, but in light of the events on Monday night I'm stepping away from Fantasy Football for a while. It hit a little too close to home and made me question the ways I express my fandom and engage with the NFL. I say all of this now so that you can get an owner in place prior to any offseason transactions and so that this league can move on as quickly as possible.
Thanks for understanding - and I hope you'll join me in sending thoughts/prayers to all those directly and indirectly affected and especially to Damar Hamlin for continued progress towards a full recovery.
Best,
Jack - No Punt Intended

Hated seeing you lose Taylor before our heated rematch Round Mound - it ain’t over just yet, but valiant effort either way. Jefferson/Saquan trade the rare case of trades working out for both sides? The trade could carry me to the finals, but I’ll be regretting it in the offseason for sure!

Sheesh No Punt Intended…stop, stop, I’m already dead.

Looking to make win-now moves, I have lots of young players I would be willing to move

Hi everyone! We still have quite a few teams that need to fill out their availability. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KjsLedvMXTzdQarEcp0rw56H_AYuTVDmNkKdApFUujU/edit#gid=0
Sin Fransicko Forty Nightmares at Aug 8, 2022 3:07 PM -
Alpha’s team has been abandoned and we have a new owner. The new owner will get one round of penalty free cuts to get them under the cap.
Sin Fransicko Forty Nightmares at Aug 6, 2022 5:01 PM -
Hey everyone! We should get the ball rolling on scheduling the draft. Please use this link to fill out your availability:

I agree to all your suggestions
Neanderthal at Jun 30, 2022 2:01 AM -
Hey everyone, I hope the offseason is going well for you all! I wanted to reach out and get the group's thoughts on a couple of potential changes I've been thinking about:
1) changing to 2 divisions (allowing two wild cards)
2) expanding to 6 playoff teams (allowing four wild cards)
3) adjusting to 1 PPR
Obviously I won't make changes if the response isn't positive, so please respond with 3 Y/N answers to these questions when you get some time. Thanks!

The Round Mound of Ground Game's trade block has been updated!
Sin Fransicko Forty Nightmares at Apr 11, 2022 2:21 AM -
Normally that's true, but per Niv's post that didn't happen correctly this year. I think it's fine to leave things alone, but wanted everyone to be aware.
Columbus Panhandles at Apr 6, 2022 12:56 PM -
It looks like our arbitration was counted correctly. If you don't apply at least $1 to each team, none of your allocations count.

Teenage Mutant Njigba Turtles at Mar 4, 2022 3:27 PM -
Hello All! Just a reminder that arbitration has started for Ottoneu Football (deadline is March 31st). I figured now was a good time to check in and see if everyone is wanting to play again next year. If we have any vacancies, I'd like to get them filled. Thanks!

Kieran's Raiders's trade block has been updated!
Brandon Clay All Stars at Feb 12, 2022 11:16 AM -
Alpha: The issue is not why or how you didn't have a kicker, the point is the selective complaining. I guarantee you if Neanderthal had played Higgins against Columbus and won that match up there would not have been a whiff of any of this. By the way, I'm not defending not fielding the best team you can until the very end, but when you're busy and no longer in contention, things slip away. I expect Doomsday will voice up at some point as La Grange played Mayfield and Cook last weekend and that likely did affect the playoff race in that division. No matter, voices have been heard.
The RedZone Fumbles at Dec 7, 2021 8:00 PM -
You know I sent this question to the otto community and the answers I have been getting is that that is why they have stopped playing in H2H leagues and have gone to points leagues so I am not the only one who sees this as a problem. It is not a question of whether there were no moves that could have been made to change the outcome. You did not know what the outcome was going to be but you acted like you were going to be a loser and you were . This is just like your previous message where you love name calling. Does that make you feel better or more superior to other people? The fact that I may have put up the wrong people has nothing to do whether you are competing evenly in this league. By the way in my message I did not mention the team I was talking about but I guess if the shoe fits
As to other teams not complaining maybe they don't care or already have positions locked up or have better things to do with their lives
Neanderthal at Dec 7, 2021 7:41 PM -
Nate’s Gridiron: This is Alpha and I’m whining. I have the same record as Neanderthal and agree with him. I always compete even if I’ve been eliminated from the playoffs. BTW, that was a total oversight not playing a Kicker vs Neanderthal. In fact, I’d just picked up a kicker that week because Gano had a bye coming up so I actually had 2 kickers on my roster.

Neanderthal at Dec 7, 2021 6:50 PM -
As I said before, you find another team that has a problem and I can easily walk away. Columbus pointed out that there were no moves to be made that would have changed the outcomes of the games. That big said, the hypocrisy here is simply ridiculous. Didn't really hear much out of you in Week 9 when I played YOU with players out, or nothing in Week 11 when Alpha beat you without a kicker or even this past weekend when You were up against Doomsday, who started Kamara and Collins, both out. It's not about fielding full teams or competing, it's about scapegoating someone else for your failures. How about try to figure out when to play Higgins and Ertz and maybe you're not in this situation. We don't hear Kieran's or Alpha whining and they are both in the same position as you.
The RedZone Fumbles at Dec 7, 2021 5:22 PM -
While I agree that teams should be setting full lineups, neither this week or last week's outcomes would have changed if Nate's had swapped out that player on bye or Phillip Lindsay, so I don't quite understand the comment that they allowed a team to win fairly easily. Valley Heat was going to win those two matchups regardless.
Columbus Panhandles at Dec 7, 2021 4:18 PM -
So we are dealing with team who is out of payoffs but doesn't play with a full team 2 weeks in a row(once a player was on a bye and in a second week another player was doubtful and did not play) and essentially allows a team to win fairly easily twice. It turns out I am competing with this team for a playoff spot. If teams are not going to compete fairly then what is point of having a league and playoffs. So I am thinking about whether I want to stay in this league or is this an endemic problem with Otto. I have not found this is my baseball leagues
Neanderthal at Dec 7, 2021 3:09 PM -
How hard was it for you to pick up another rb to play? Sounds like you need a little help . Accordingly I find your apology vacuous although I assume the teams you are playing the remainder of the year might not and of course why would they want to kick you out of the league since they are playing a team that cannot even find a second running back to play. You still have time to find one. And the best you can do is hit on my team name .Wow Really brilliantly done.
Neanderthal at Nov 27, 2021 8:15 AM -
Aw is Neanderthal trying to find a scapegoat for failing to succeed. Grow up. Who is "us all"? and which of my 2 trades all year was so bad? I tell you what you find one other team that has a complaint and I'm gone. Make sure they check out my roster because genius I don't have another Rb to start. I had the same situation several weeks ago but of course that was fine by you then. Maybe ask 1 of your co-workers down at the DMV what sarcasm is too, you certainly can't recognize it. I'll give you this, of all the team names, yours is 100% the most suited.

The RedZone Fumbles at Nov 26, 2021 8:50 PM -
I am competing against a team you are playing 2 weeks in a row and you are essentially throwing those 2 games plus other games so your “friendly” message as far as I am concerned is bullshit and I am not going to stay in a league where some teams do not compete fairly . Yes I communicated with you but your ask was for 2 young players in exchange for someone who was not going to play in next 2 games because he was injured and then had a bye
Come on man why just not drop from this league because you have screwed us all. Your current lineup has someone not even playing this week
