I've been starting Michael Turner for the past 5-6 weeks, and I'm trying to win a championship this year. Does anyone feel that I'm cheating? Personally, I think some of you guys are trying to impose your own management opinions on other owners - and owners that have a strong history of good competition, at that. I don't believe we need an anti-tanking rule in the Frenzy. Seems to me that isn't really addressing the problem - really serving only as a band-aid, and a band-aid that will also have a negative affect on the competitive balance in the league (regardless of how much it is minimized). The Frenzy is about highly competitive owners. I really believe we can trust the group of guys we have to get out if they've lost the desire for competition.

Not turning in a lineup is one thing. Turning in a lineup of non-starters or low impact players because your trying to benefit your team next year is completely another.

That being said, I finish between 4th and 7th almost every year, so I'm not likely to make too much of a fuss if you guys want to give me a chance at a top RB.
