should be worth 6 points

any commish that didn't set that up...wow

that sucks

How do you figure? There was not a rushing attempt, therefore it wasn't a rushing TD. It was a fumble recovery.

Even ESPN standard leagues grant 6 points to any player who returns a fumble for a TD...

Happens a lot...one time Robert Meachem stripped someone who intercepted brees and he ran it back for a TD...

Every standard league on ESPN and Yahoo is defaulted that way

Most of the time fumbles for tds are made by defenders and unless you're playing IDP it only counts for defense.

But yeah, go read the standard rules on ESPN...it's filed under miscellaneous points

On that point you're correct. IF a league is set up to award points for fumble recovery touchdowns on offense (most are not though the standard leagues are) Gore would get the points. Most people claiming he should get it are saying he should get the points as a rushing TD.

that should have said most custom leagues aren't set up to award fumble recovery TDs on offense

that's a pretty broad statement

I know all standard leagues award fumble recoveries as TD's to any player who scores them, offense or defense.

and every custom league I've ever been in does the same, whether I'm setting it up or someone else

I don't understand why, if you start Frank Gore, and he scores a TD whether it is rushing, receiving, recovering a fumble, blocking a punt or returning a kick...why he shouldn't get those 6 points?

That truly would make no sense.

A TD is a TD. You should be getting the 6 points.

Well, I know in the CP league we don't get points for ST TD's. I had T.Y Hilton in a game and he returned a punt for a TD and I didn't get shit for it. I was mildly irritated. If my RB gets receiving yards, I get credit for that. A TD is a TD is a TD is a TD. It should be 6 points.

Yeah, well Sofa is the commish. You know that doucher isn't going to do shit about it. :fire:

Money league... Gore counted against me - ended up losing 97-92 - now playing for 3/4 in a money league where winner takes $500...

Ridley... on the 1 yd line - and not getting on on that 3rd down screwed me... and the fact that he scored 0 pts for the whole game.

This rule that it is not a "rush" TD but a fumble recovery could end up costing me about $750. Again, the intent of our league was that a TD is a TD is a TD except that a kick returner doesn't get points only a defense/special team gets points on a return. But, in this case there were no points given on the Gore TD. That is what is messed up.

Hey may not.

But I will.

BOOM!

I'll wait to see if there's a scoring change on Thursday, but IMO, you should have been awarded those points.
