Does accepting defensive pass interference eliminate a reception?

Yes this is a fantasy football question.

The NFL has ruled that this was a reception by Hakeem Nicks. This obviously changes the scoring for Nicks in a FF league and it has reversed the outcome of a game. Now I've got the owner of the (now) losing team complaining that this wasn't a catch because the Giants accepted the penalty.

Should I overturn the stat adjustment and keep the score the way it originally was? Or the does the NFL ruling trump all?

Absolutely.

ayup

Yes.

Also what does that video have to do with Nicks?

I embedded the wrong video. It's corrected.

So the question is....do you change the stat correction back to where it was and leave the outcome of the game how it was in the beginning?

You leave it alone, sadly...doesnt count as a reception or yardage for the receiver

edit: you could if you had the right software / website give some amount of points to a receiver who draws a PI penalty, but this would need to be done before draft day preferably or before week 1 for sure...too late to add this now, but something to consider next year if your league wants it. But you wouldnt add yards or a reception IMO, you would add like 'drawn PI penalty = x amount of points ' or similar....You could make it dependant on the yardage, but you still would NEVER add the yards back...or the reception.

The question is why the **** did the Giants accept the penalty if it was a catch?

I agree, Pest.

So everyone thinks that I should change it back to the original outcome?

If it is on a site like Yahoo or ESPN or NFL, it shouldve changed back automatically...What site are you using?

www.rtsports.com

Changed back automatically? They all update statistics based off of the stat changes from the NFL. Normally this shit doesn't matter....but it changed the outcome of a game.

Now I have one guy who is all butt hurt and claiming that he wants his money back.

Well, his official stats are 4 receptions, 38 yards, One TD, 0 rushing yards....I don't see how he*could argue his position unless the RT stats are different from that.
