The screen I am looking at shows 7 over 2 as well, but I guess that wasn't the updated score.

Kid, I'll say 2 things. one, every single rule change I have suggested is EXACTLY how we do it in every other league I am in. 3, every single rule change won't change the fact I am out of the playoffs, and out of the money, since none of the rule changes will be applied to this year. So unless you are suggesting we are all going to have the same teams that perform the exact same way a year from now, why the fuck would you accuse me of acting only in my self interest? It can't possibly help me this year. I have just as much chance of finishing in 7th place next year and not making the playoffs as I do of winning. I have just as much chance of winning the Super Bowl next year and not making as much money as I could have due to rule changes as anyone else does.
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->These rules were posted 4 or 5 months ago, and I don't recall your complaining. You joked about losing in the first round, but never said anything even then. It's only now that your team has gone out in the first round that you've raised it as a problem.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yeah, except when I said before Thanksgiving that while I understood we can't change it for this year, the format sucks. Or had my team already lost in the first round on November 20? I find this whole thing fairly offensive. If you want to start throwing around accusations about this, if you are going to accuse me of doing anything other than offering my two cents like everyone else, at least get your facts straight. Everything I have said I would say if I was in last place, because AGAIN, that is how I've done it in every league I've played in. And that is exactly where I could be if and when these changes go through NEXT year. I'm not saying that is how we have to do it, but I should be allowed to offer my opinion, regardless of where I finished or regardless of how my team did in the playoffs.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
