    Except it was my call to make, as commissioner.   
    And make it, I did, in what I felt was the best call.
    I would have made the same decision were I in the finals or not. 

    Good luck this week.

    I’ve been playing fantasy sports for over 20 years and I have been a commissioner for several long standing leagues. Here is my objective opinion on this.

    Ultimately, mistakes are on the owner who made them. I’ve made similar mistakes myself and it is an awful feeling. The best you can hope for is mercy from your league mates. You cannot expect it though. 

    From my experience, the waiver process almost always makes it impossible for the owner to get the accidental drop back. Years ago, I left a league because a guy accidentally dropped a player, didn’t say anything. I used the #1 waiver pick. Then later complained and the commish gave him player back and I lost my waiver that I saved all year. Also, consider 100% of league must be in agreement, because otherwise I am using my waiver pick to prevent someone else from getting better. It goes on and on. Again, this is unfortunate. It’s not commishes fault though that he is also in the finals now, that is just an unfortunate coincidence. 

    We can’t get 10/12 guys to all pay before seasons end (self own), I don’t even think it’s possible to put this issue to a vote within 24 hours. It is what it is.

    good luck in the championship to both of you.

    Thank you, appreciate the thoughts and rationale behind them.  Makes sense.

    It wasn't happening and this is also based on nearly 30 years of doing this stuff.  It has nothing to do with my team but lots to do with my opinion on how a league is run and especially what happens during playoffs.  I do value the opinions of league members but some items are not voting items. 

    Playoff adjustments like this would be one of them. 

    An error is made and that is unfortunate...but that player (or those players in this instance) are open to anyone.  

    As you stated, everyone who plays a lot likely drops the wrong players or does something stupid at some point.  Certainly have been there.

    Mookie, appreciate your comments. I too have been playing fantasy sports for nearly 30 years. It’s all over and done with now, but there certainly was time to call a vote. Whether we would have had enough feedback within the 48 hours before waivers processed is a question that can never be answered. The fact that Brett refused to do so (particularly when in conflict of interest) is inexcusable in my view.

    As I said in my initial post, I have never made a mistake like this before (but I have, as commish, fixed errors for others who have made innocent errors). Most recent example was in a FF Auction Draft this year, one owner bid $111 (of a $200 budget) on Michael Pittman. He immediately notified me of the error, I paused the draft, took a poll of owners, and then returned the $ and player before resuming. That’s obviously easier as we had most guys available and online.

    Anyways, to the rest of you, it’s been an experience, all the best.

    If you were the commish you could have done what you liked.  I don't need an excuse from you.

    Not accepting it, I guess.

    Those who were in the league when we started will recall the trade veto debates.  Scott and his buddy were so mad at Ani and I.  We had some fun with that.  There is rarely going to be agreement on everything, just the way it goes.

    Funniest part, though, is Beebs got his shit pushed in when he threw for you.  :lol:
