bucks 2 months before the draft. I don’t establish rules
in a vacuum and i don' t have the pleasure of charing fines every time one of you gets in trouble with the law.
Everything is worked with all league members based on a voting basis in an effort to make this reflect the majority’s opinion. The week 1 rule has just been a standing rule in the league for several years.

And let’s be clear - I was asked about the transactions policy, after, not during, not before, but after the draft, so not quite sure how that would that affect your draft strategy. Additionally - Hartley came out of a game on Aug
28 with a hip injury, the draft was Aug 30. But since it
was not reported by WNST.net, i guess it wasn't news.

But to level the playing field – you all now have commissioner rights – feel free to modify the league rules as you see fit –you want week 1 transactions – have at it.

Holy sh*t that is funny. When we gather for my pay league, we talk about changes we would like to see. Its usually pretty chill among friends. But that sounds kinda crazy, especially if you gotta deal with that at work.
