Fantasy Football Cheating..
 

So, I have a Sportsline Fantasy Football League, and this morning I noticed our commish decided to pick up a certain WR that was denoted as "HOT" off the ADD / DROP before anyone else was allowed to even try to ADD him.

He claims it just let him do it and he didn't have to use any special commissioner's / admin privileges to add him. I"m calling BS. Can anyone that has Sportsline confirm that it would flag or alert you that you have to over ride the normal ADD in order to do this?

Additionally, what do people think a fair punishment should be? It's a 12 team league, so week 1 pickups can be huge, and I'd say he's probably looking at one of the top 3 teams- which means he could be looking at a nice $$$$ payout should he win or place in the top 3.

When the commish uses thier powers to add/drop it highlights the words add and drop in the transaction red.

At a minimum, waterboarding by CIA professionals.

an hour with Nobama listening to him talk of HOPE/CHANGE.

I am kommish of our cbssportsline league and the key is whether or not waivers are set up to run or not. You can have an option for first come first served and it usually starts at 8am Tuesday morning for FA pick-ups.

Yeah,

and he picked the WR up at 7:57am. I picked up my player right at 8am and know I wasn't allowed to do so before then b/c I tried clicking on it and it said I had to wait till 8am

just one of the perks for being the commish

you may need a life transplant! :Poke:

Is he a pats fan? :x

WW times, etc should be clearly stated in the rules... if not, you've learned an important life lesson. If he did use his privs to get the player... I'd raise hell if it's a $ league. If it's a free league, I'd never log back into that league.

So what are you going to do now that he is busted for cheating

so who is the WR? toss a tip my way :clap:

Well, for one, I would say that the league has to change to waivers starting next week.

Two, I would say he has to make that player available to the team that finished in last place after week 1 and if they don't want him then work the way up the standings from worst to first offering the player.

If he fails to do either of the above I would be gone. No fun playing with cheaters.

Is this a money league? I'm assuming it is since cbssportsline is not free.

He just picked up Clayton, b/c he's a Bronco fan- I shit you not, and had already drafted Marshall and Cutler, so he didn't pick up Royal - who I did, and would have raise hell then for sure if that was the case.

He was forced to drop the player. He's feigning innocence, and I just made the info available to everyone and let them decide. My draft wasn't so hot in this one, but this all once again leads back to my suspicion that he says he set the draft order "randomly" but I think he set it up as he thought would best give himself the chance to win and placed people he thought would do well as he pleased. I got 8th- which I think sucks, and we've played in this league for a number of years. I took the last 2 years off, but prior to that have never finished lower than 3rd.

After the waivers today here's my 2 different lineups: 1 has a W/T flex player (2nd list)
