wow. a lot of emotion in this thread. come on, theology's on another thread!

I can actually see both sides. I did note that of all the supporters, are all previous Frenzy guys. No problem in that, except the are used to this rule. Those, that I have seen who are concerned about this rule are new to the Frenzy Rules. To stop you before you comment, yes, Mike, I know this is a Frenzy League IDP. I think we are all well aware of that.

I can see that having weekend breaks limits the FA period. Agreed, it should be five days. However, I am curious as to why it can't start on Monday, instead of Tues? If someone is brash enough and impulsive enough to bid on someone before the MNF, then so be it. Their decision. This still gives five days. As per 'not bidding' on Fridays means that you can lose the bid on a player that you feel would add value to your team, so being realistic, that kinda defeats the purpose of bidding on FA. Call me niave, but I don't run fees up. If I want a player, I bid on him. If I don't, I don't.

I agree with Burt on this 100% (and it appears Skippy and Randilover). I spoke my peace back on the Berry thread. Penalties are minor. Personally, so what. The key that kinda got my dander up (yes, I know people don't say that any more) is the spirit. Mike was 100% justified in reminding us of the rules and (trust me I don't want your position) doling out the penalties. He has to as commissioner. However, as Skippy commented in the Berry thread (and I believe later as well in Chester Taylor), it's about the spirit of the game. Legalism kills league.

I am personally here to have a blast. Secondary, is to hopefully crush all of you. But the first reason is to give me a little break from reality and hang with some dudes who have the same interests as I do...football. It's about the fun for me. However, I don't choose to spend my time on line on weekends or evenings. Sure I get on sometimes, but mostly I don't.

I can always PM someone. But, why should I have to? M-F bidding is fine. Every other league I've seen and been in ('xcept Frenzy) is that way. It's just frustrating in that it feels like instead of playing FF, I have to run a small country (and there's a rebelion brewing). I just want to play the game and see if my strategies can beat the other guys (obviously didn't work so well this past weekend!!). I don't want to memorize 18 pages of rules to make sure some small nuance that I missed isn't going to put a damper on playing.

Way to long a reply. Sorry. Most of you probably fell asleep already.
