I am going to stick with it for another year, but damn I hate the NFL.
JTP at May 17, 2016 1:15 PM -
If anyone knows someone who may want to join the league and take over Bacon's team, please check on it and let us know.
Gently's Agency at May 17, 2016 1:09 PM -
Bacon - sorry to see you go, but thanks for pulling out at a good time of year. I will remove you as an owner. Good luck in baseball, where you are having a great year!
Gently's Agency at May 17, 2016 1:07 PM -
Guys - I think I'm going to quit the league. I just never got interested in it very much. Please feel free to kick me out and recruit someone else for my spot.

Given the finances of our teams, missing arbitration won't cause many issues. We already have half of our teams way over the $400 cap, so aggressive cuts and trades are on the way regardless.
Gently's Agency at Mar 7, 2016 12:26 PM -
I got a response from Niv about arbitration. We are beyond the arbitration period and he couldn't find an easy solution. He suggests we just skip arbitration this first year and keep going with the current period - trades and keeper selections. All teams have until July 1 to cut or trade players. No cap penalties will apply until July 1. We can schedule our draft after that.
Gently's Agency at Mar 7, 2016 12:24 PM -
I think we blew right past the arbitration - possibly it was our mistake, but I think the site wasn't showing those settings. I just emailed Niv to see if he can set us up with an arbitration period.
Gently's Agency at Mar 4, 2016 12:35 PM -
what's the deal with this league? when's arbitration? it's already passed in my last league.

LeagueSafe payouts today to (1) Team Pwn, (2) Gently's Agency, and (3) Cleveland Sucks. Shooting Ropes didn't contribute to the pot, so it doesn't matter who won the consolation game. Congratulations to our winners, and thanks for a great first year.
Gently's Agency at Jan 5, 2016 7:58 PM -
Cleveland Sucks
Gravyboat Surprise at Jan 5, 2016 7:23 PM -
Any idea who Shooting Ropes played in the consolation (third place) game?
Gently's Agency at Jan 5, 2016 6:11 PM -
I was in the third place game but I have no idea who won
Mr. Meeseeks at Jan 4, 2016 9:20 PM -
Considering this was the first year of Ottoneu Fantasy Football, I believe things went quite well. Looking forward to next year.
Gravyboat Surprise at Jan 4, 2016 1:29 PM -
Once I get confirmation about who placed third, I'll distribute the LeagueSafe money. I've also asked Niv to put the final week results back on the site. I'm hoping he keeps working on the football version of ottoneu, as there is much to improve. If the baseball version is any indication, I would expect the football version to get much better.
Gently's Agency at Jan 4, 2016 1:27 PM -
We had four players who did not contribute, eight who did. So, our total pot is $160. Split 60/30/10, the payouts are $96, $48, and $16.
Gently's Agency at Jan 4, 2016 1:25 PM -
I'm pretty sure it was Shooting Ropes, but pretty sure doesn't count. All I have to say is I'm changing my team name to the Same Ole Sorry Ass LA Rams next year after the Rams move back to Los Angeles. Yesterday's loss to the 49ers pretty much summed up the Rams stay in St. Louis. They could have won, but got a 48 yard FG attempt blocked in OT. Except for the Greatest Show on Turf years with Warner, Bruce, Holt, etc, the Rams totally sucked in STL. Better luck back in LA.
Gravyboat Surprise at Jan 4, 2016 1:15 PM -
I'm getting ready to distribute winnings, but the ottoneu page no longer shows the results of our championship week. I know our championship game was Team Pwn against Gently's Agency, but who won the consolation game for third place?
Gently's Agency at Jan 4, 2016 12:25 PM -
Congratulations Team Pwn! Do you also play in the St. Louis Metropolitan Fantasy Baseball league?
Gravyboat Surprise at Jan 1, 2016 2:32 PM -
Congrats Team Pwn!
ChicagoButkus at Dec 31, 2015 11:14 AM -
Team Pwn pwns!
Shep at Dec 30, 2015 2:04 AM -
I will distribute prize winnings next week when I get back to my office.
Gently's Agency at Dec 29, 2015 9:27 PM -
Congratulations to our winner Team Pwn!
Gently's Agency at Dec 29, 2015 9:25 PM -
Are messages going through?
Gently's Agency at Dec 29, 2015 9:25 PM -
I'm shopping Luck. High salary, but he is the top ranked dynasty QB on every list. No value this year, but he will have a long and productive future. I am looking for a low-salary QB and/or RB prospect.
Gently's Agency at Nov 11, 2015 1:58 PM -
In that vein - I lost another running back, anyone have a trade to propose for one?
Witch Doctors at Nov 3, 2015 6:39 PM -
Washington Michaelsams is having a pleasant week. In just a few days, Kaepernick benched, Randle cut, Steve Smith career over, and now Keenan Allen done for the year.
Gently's Agency at Nov 3, 2015 4:01 PM -
Niv's response: Teams can always set their lineups for the next week by clicking the right arrow on the lineup page. There was a bug last week that caused people to get moved to the bench, but that bug has been fixed and shouldn't be a problem going forward.
Gently's Agency at Sep 27, 2015 2:51 PM -
Also, there appear to be 17 or 18 leagues in this Fantasy Football system. Do we get T-Shirts or something for being beta testers? Ask Riv.
Witch Doctors at Sep 26, 2015 7:07 PM -
I am definitely logged in, and I also cannot cut anyone and need room to make a waiver claim. Can commissioner please cut Mychal Rivera from my team? Also, where is the link for the waivers list if I didn't already know of a player I wanted?
Witch Doctors at Sep 26, 2015 7:05 PM -
Wait, not strange. I think I meant stupid.
Witch Doctors at Sep 26, 2015 6:53 PM -
Sigh. That's a very strange "feature." Thanks for the heads up, Black Swans. Repeated sigh.
Witch Doctors at Sep 26, 2015 6:52 PM -
Sometimes you can see your team but not do anything because it has logged you out
Gently's Agency at Sep 26, 2015 2:08 PM -
Manziel is now cut
Gently's Agency at Sep 26, 2015 2:07 PM -
Commish, could ymaybeou maybe you could cut manziel from my team?
The Infamous El Guapo at Sep 26, 2015 1:04 PM -
I can't cut players from phone or iPad. I've tried it 100 times. I just press the cut button and nothing happens. And I can't adjust my lineup without cutting a player. What should I do? Come Mitch, maybe you could cut Johnny football for me and then I can adjust my lineup.
The Infamous El Guapo at Sep 26, 2015 1:02 PM -
Ah, OK, so I am missing something--another thing I should have known already. I figured it would have just carried over my lineup from Week 2, so I never set my Week 3 lineup.
ChicagoButkus at Sep 25, 2015 2:00 PM -
When did you set your lineup? When I checked Tuesday everyone was on your bench and they were on your bench still yesterday. I believe once the new week starts you will have to set your lineup every week. Everyone was on my bench Tuesday and had to set it.
Mr. Meeseeks at Sep 25, 2015 1:57 PM -
It looks like there are a lot of teams with empty starter slots--more than I would guess were intentional.
ChicagoButkus at Sep 25, 2015 1:56 PM -
I can make lineup changes, but I can't put anyone who played last night back in the starting lineup. I had both Beckham and (unfortunately) Matt Jones starting.
ChicagoButkus at Sep 25, 2015 1:53 PM -
Is it letting you correct it and reset your lineup?
Gently's Agency at Sep 25, 2015 12:21 PM -
Anyone else have all their starters moved to their bench? This must be a glitch, right? Am I missing something?

i have extra WRs, looking for another RB

Was that Josh Gordon auction real? I almost made my team name "Josh Gordon will be a star!" Isn't he selling cars now?
Gently's Agency at Sep 22, 2015 7:13 PM -
This might be the only time in my life that I want the Cowboys to succeed. Or at least succeed offensively.
JTP at Sep 15, 2015 11:17 AM -
I have money to spend. Someone send me an offer.
JTP at Sep 15, 2015 11:08 AM -
That's a good idea. My problem in this case is I just didn't know the rules.
ChicagoButkus at Sep 14, 2015 1:21 PM -
One trick (you may already know) is to keep your iffy player as a Flex, so your late swap can be any type of replacement. Football is harder than baseball to be perfect about rosters, because so many NFL teams lie about injuries and starters.
Gently's Agency at Sep 14, 2015 12:55 PM -
Oh, now I see. It says "players lock about 5 minutes before the game starts" in fairly big letters right on top of the lineups page. My bad.
