Anybody else get screwed by the Gore non TD?

[KCFaninSEA]

Last night Frank Gore picks up a fumble and runs it in for a TD. Everyone in my league says I should get credit for that but the commish didn't check the box to allow. I lose by 1 point and am in a game for third or fourth instead of the championship game. What do you think?

So you can see no rushing yards, yet the RUSHING TD isn't debatable?
Prison Bitch reminds me of a twist I often put on an old saying just for situations such as this:

You can lead a horse to water but sometimes you're better off just shooting the damned thing.

or as Ron White says; You can't fix stupid

I agree, so it was pretty pointless of me trying to convince you of your error.

How would you have changed your lineup? What did you have?

I took out turner last minute and put in Gordon, so that move cost me nearly 10 pts.

In the first one you mentioned it's also cut and dried, and should count if your league says ALL TDs. What many here are saying though is that it should count as a RUSHING TD and that's simply not the case.

I'm going to make an assumption here that most of the leagues we're talking of are using ESPN (I haven't used Yahoo or CBS for some time so I can't speak to those). As Hootie pointed out earlier there ARE scoring settings that do allow for fumble TDs. If a league is set up to allow those the points would be awarded.
What many of you are advocating is changing scoring settings that were set prior to the season.

This. Changing them going into the Championship game nonetheless.

Doesn't matter much i guess. I'm sure they'll be an asterisk next to this season now anyways. Although if it's decided to change the stats for this game, i hope we go back and change every outcome from every matchup from this season. All sacks should take points away, etc.. since that's how other leagues do it and all.

Weird rules, but it is what it is. I agree with Sofa King, even though I can't believe the miscellaneous scoring wasn't set up

It wasn't set up because I didn't realize ESPN would be so stupid as to not award a TD to the player who scored it.

Negative scoring for fumbles lost and INT's were part of the scoring this year, and we set up to be part of the scoring this year - but since people missed the draft time, we reset the draft, and when that happened, everything reverted to standard scoring. I never would have thought that the custom settings would have changed just due to resetting the draft time.

FWIW, I can't think of one other time this has happened this year, so I can't see how it would make any difference to go back and look at each matchup.

A TD is a TD is a TD. Simple as that.

Since people want to bitch and moan about something that's complete common sense, I'll stay out of it and let ESPN decide.

And then you can have these arguments with Sofa next year, because I'm ****ing done with it. My spot can go to someone else. Too much ****ing drama over a goddamn free league.

[Hootie]

it happened a few times...with Julian Edelman and Josh Morgan off the top of my head...and someone else when Griffin fumbled again on the 1 into the end zone way earlier in the season.

ESPN standard has miscellaneous scores for returns and fumble recoveries so I'm not sure how that was left out of the scoring but I'm certainly not bitching, I was 2-10 for god's sake!

[Sofa King]

Come on OTWP. I don't care either way. I just wanted to screw around with Flopnuts. Put it to a vote. I'd be good with that. Not gonna make any difference to me either way, really.

I could not care any less. Really. I assumed he knew I was ****ing with him when I called him a doucher in this thread, as much as I knew he was ****ing with me when he called me a mod abuser. ESPN has done their stat recalculations, and I'm good with it. No big deal. It was a free league, and I had fun. Good luck in the title game, loser!

I went out and picked up Dallas Clark, and Golden Tate for that matchup with you and used them both. Had I used Heath Miller, who I already had, that would've done it alone. Let alone T.Y Hilton at WR, or Cecil Shorts. That would've gotten me combined, and extra 15+ points.

Yeah that probably would have done it. But if you had started them, they wouldn't have produced. So double edged sword.
