First, I didn't go off on your lack of competitiveness until your reply was to the effect of me being the bad guy for pointing out that you were throwing games. I'm not really sure what "respect" you expect me to give to you. Throwing games to get the number on pick is cheating in my eyes, and to me that doesn't deserve any "respect."

Even when the owner of the team has said otherwise.
Obviously your issues are far less clear that Joel's were. If you weren't tanking, you weren't tanking. You're not going to admit it if you were, and I can't prove it. What I think happened doesn't matter in the big picture. I have not, and will not suggest penalties. Also, I don't think any changes we decide on can be implemented for the 2008 draft. So no matter what you did, or what we do, nothing would change for 2008.

I would not be against going back to 6 teams in the playoffs if we can find away from getting away from a week 17 championship. Also, I'm not totally against double headers, but I cringe at having only one week as a double header (or any limited number of set weeks). So much of what happens with the standings comes down to the schedule, and when you play who. To double up on that in one week would just extrapolate that. It's an idea worth exploring though.
