You're either with me on this or against me. There is no middle ground. They're stupid - they serve no real purpose other than..........well, they serve no purpose at all, I s'pose. They're for people that think they have to add/change a rule in their fantasy league every freaking year or they get antsy. |

He disagrees with you. The Bears beat the Colts by 20.48 points yesterday. Luckily Cutler scrambled for 5 yards instead of 4 on that play in the 2nd quarter. |

If your players score 14.45 points, 16.40 points, and 17.15 points, then together they would score 48 points. Without the fractions, they would only score 47 points. Also, I don't believe in non-fraction leagues they round up, meaning your team could be leaving 10-12 points on the table every game because of it. |

Pretty hard to tie in fractional point leagues. That is why I like them. |

I concur. I also hate leagues that reward guys with a point for every 10 yards. Why not get a point for taking a dump? |

There's also the rare day where your RB gets 29 yards, your WR gets 109, and your TE gets 88 yds and you lose by a point... but then again, that can happen against you just as often. Maybe once every four years or so. |

I don't see what the problem is considering it's FANTASY FOOTBALL. |

Completely agree with you! they are stupid, look really bad when you look at the scores and they take away from the drama of needing a player to get that one extra yard in order for you to get that point you need. |

He disagrees with you. Not sure if that's true. (the .55 part, not the win) I like 'em. I usually like most things spanky is opposed too, though... |

In that league that doesn't exist, it sure doesn't feel good to get your ass whooped. |

In the league that doesn't exist, I sure would like to play someone other then one of the top two scorers for the week. Cue Spanky saying something about a whambulance or something very clever like that. He's just pissed that his season was pretty much over after his first round draft pick was Chris Johnson. |

I have him in another league too.

Be happy you don't have Chris Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald. I heard someone drafted those two with their first and second round picks. That's just throwing away good money.

I'm finally getting rid of that pesky RGIII character in the league that doesn't exist. |

Right, my season is over because of Johnson, yet I'm ahead of you in the standings. Strange game...... Chris_in_joliet wrote: Be happy you don't have Chris Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald.
