Also, with everybody wanting to up the league buy in I am honestly really confused....is this for fun or is this for money and a trophy here? Maybe I just play with what would be $200 a little different out of my pocket investment wise. Just saying that if we are going to up the ante let's at least stop calling it "fun"...it's a competition for money at the end of the day guys. Not against it or some other things put forth, but let's start calling it what it is please. It's a bunch of friends gambling in order to try and win money and a trophy. And we can't put things up for vote with less than 48 hours to go. We gotta do that in the offseason not on or right before draft day. Thanks and enjoy the season everybody.
Good luck out there!

So since you put it here and seem to think I am the one wrong here. Where did I personally insult you exactly? All I did was call out the time stamps and point out that some of us are way busier than you are and yet we still got this right. But I am wrong for pointing out that a vote was done, past a very clear deadline and your being GIVEN back a player you should have been made to redraft under the league rules. And that is me attacking you personally how exactly? Honestly, this is backwards here…all I did was point out the facts and then vote no. If anybody is being attacked personally here it's me, but yeah let's go on you guys facts it's all good. On to the season already. Thanks all.
I get that mistakes happen. I made one as well with my cuts and almost called to correct it. It just wasnt as bad to make it a thing but I would have asked and I think it would have been alright. We should raise the buy in, change the kicking stuff, if people want to change pay out % put it up for vote. This is for fun and we need not take everything so seriously. Life is too short. I appreciate all players, owners and my friends in this league.
Stacy, I am not quite sure what's going on with you as of late but honestly, your tone/attitude isn't appreciated. This is supposed to be a fun league between old friends. I'm here to have a good time and keep in touch with a group of guys that I've been playing against for decades in the hopes of having the Ninjas name appear again on the Hammer trophy. I'm all for some good banter but personal insults are not cool.
In regards to the rookie and IR FA protection - Robbie had brought it up and I had agreed - we should be able to remove the FA protection from Rookie and IR players on our own team if we don't want them protected from FA. For instance, I had Jamaal Williams on IR and come FA I didn't want to protect him and then ended up cutting him from my roster. In addition, I cut several rookies from my roster on my 20 man cut. So if we plan to cut the player or have no interest in protecting them, they should be a part of the FA cuts. Currently, if a protected player is picked in FA, then another number is pulled until an unprotected player is picked to be dropped as a FA. Robbie's suggestion would just allow us to unprotect players (Rookies or IR) we don't want on our rosters and open them up to being a FA pull.
I think its a good suggestion and I would like to bring it for a vote prior to the draft if its not too late.
In addition, I would also like to vote on a new scoring system for Kickers if its not too late.
I am assuming that the league buy in is too late to vote on but would like to propose it for the next time we can vote on it.

“Un protect rookie and IR players before FA”….doesn’t even make sense. Why don’t we just go back to rookie and franchise players if rookies aren’t protected after their rookie season….kinda defeats the purpose of protection doesn’t it?
All good here to play.. Thanks all.
Did these ever go to a vote? I wanted to bring back the ability to unprotect rookies and IR players also - before FA ... Are we voting on new things or do we now have to wait?

Proposal 1: Increase league fee -- we've had the same fee for 20 years. Let's make it more interesting!
Increase fee to $200 ($2000 total) with following payouts:
Winner = $800
2nd = $400
3rd = $200 (gives semifinal losers another game)
Division winner = $200 (x2 = $400)
Wild card winner = $100 (x2 = $200)
Plus the $10 per person website / admin fee...
Proposal 2: Kicker Scoring -- we give way too many points to the most random position.
Current scoring:

I have fixed honest miscuts in offseason for team owners since league was founded. This was legit. And have always posted them to league with full transparency. This affects very little of anything for league, draft, and competitive fairness.
Co Commish agrees and majority of league.
Dell is back on Ninjas and intended cut of Brandon Stephen's DB Bal has been processed.
Please pay attention to avoid this in future.
