    background: we're in a fantasy pool on yahoo where we pick defensive players instead of a team defense. 3 dl (on yahoo linebackers and lineman are dl), 3 dbs, and 3 utility defense. we start all defensive players and generally dont have a sub because we only have 2 subs for each team (i already feel this is retarded because you have to drop/add every week to keep a full starting lineup and having anyone good injured for less then the season screws your team up)

    rules question: if i have 2 rbs on bye can i drop a defensive player and use that roster spot for a free agent running back because running backs average 10-20 pts a game and defensive players average 5-10? (yahoo will let you do this but is it a rules violation?)

    ethics: is it extremely poor ethics that this incident took place in a game against one of two league "commisioners" and that they took it upon themselves to decide that the rb points should be removed without consulting the league? i thought it should of gone to vote and at no point thought it was "cheating" like the two commishes did.

    apparently one of your commishes is pissed cause you are smarter than he is. why is that against the rules? it's good strategy. I'd raise holy hell if it wasn't explicitly stated that you couldn't do that.

    it wasnt me that did it. i thought it was fucked up when it happened but didnt want to cause a stir because the commish is a good friend and i didnt know the other guy. i told the commish i didnt consider it cheating to pick up a rb but he didnt care. this week after reviewing the standings i find that i'm greatly effected because the commish has a game on 4 of us who are battling for a playoff spot, as it stands i'd be in and playing the best team in the playoffs, without the commishes win i'd be playing the guy he screwed who has a terrible team. there's 3 weeks left and someone is gonna get screwed out of the playoffs because of this.

    How this issue was not addressed before the season is beyond me. Obviously the TWO commissioners have no freaking clue how to organize a league. If it is not clearly against the rules set forth at inception, i dont see how they can take it upon themselves to do this. Total BS.

    seems like it should be fine to do this,

    how many offensive players do u play? having this many players on a roster and only 2 bench spots seems silly
