Re: marinarul10.

Just a quick note. The GM you're referring to has punt blocking capabilities. He flash bombed me in a league once (right at the start of a game on a 3 and out) with a CB #1 type and I wrote a note to protect myself from it. That goes awhile back nearly 2 months; in and around.

My punt blocking is de-activated. When I go to prepare for a new game and I see someone like 'oh, he may be bringing it'. If I see heat coming, I'll match it otherwise PB = De-activated.

He's also here. lol I will say the blow back on punt blocking in insane right now. In 7 of my 13 leagues if I hit one ( no matter how I do so) I'll be out *snaps fingers* like that.

There was way more to that than "just having fun". It was deliberate & unsportsmanlike. He deserved to be removed from the league.

I agree with androwski, In my111 seasons I have found Jcruz to be a fair and upstanding guy. I'm thinking he would not let something unjust happen. I feel like It would have to be an obvious thumbing of the nose to warrant removal. I would think a warning would be issued first. Just play your game marinarul and win, that's the best way to fix it!..................................................................MM

I have been contacted by a number of GMs who have expressed their dissatisfaction with the direction in which the league is going as it relates to players playing out of position. I happen to agree with them.

Despite what has been said about its lack of unsportsman-like behavior, I am now aware of two GMs who are using WRs as DBs. Sorry, but this tactic (among others) is totally unacceptable.

I remind everyone that although the majority of GMs agreed that players should be limited in terms of positions on the filed, there was slight disagreement about the timing of adopting the new rule. Nevertheless, at the risk of losing one or more GMs, beginning with upcoming Game 4, Paydirt will have a ZERO TOLERANCE for violations of any of the following rules during the regular and post season:

1. CBs may only include players whose primary position is CB or S. (If a GM wants to employ a WR at either of these positions during a game, he may do so only if he changes the WR's primary position to CB or S prior to that game.)

2. Defensive line players may only include players whose primary position is defensive lineman or LB. (With the same freedom/limitation described above to change a player's primary position prior to a game.)

3. LBs may only include players whose primary position is LB or S. (With the same freedom/limitation described above to change a player's primary position prior to a game.)

4. Special team rushers against punts shall exclude players whose primary positions are CB, FS, SS or WR.

Any GM who is shown to violate any of the above will be immediately removed from the league and such GM's team will be offered to the first person who asks to take it over.

I encourage all GMs to assist in enforcing this mandate. As the next game is not played until Sunday night (three days from now), each GM now has the weekend to examine his depth chart to avoid being penalized. Please take advantage of this opportunity.

I also ask each GM to be ready to recruit new players if we lose one or more GMs after we implement the new rules. A primary goal should be to always have a full roster of GMs rather then to have the AI take over a tem.

Is this the perfect way to deal with the issue? Possibly not. But we shouldn't allow our pursuit of perfection impede our quest for something better than what we have.

As always, please also do not hesitate to give me feedback. Thanks.

P.S. I will post this announcement on several threads. Please bear with the redundancy.
