You've got 2 divisions which are super competitive and 2 which are an absolute laugher. A restructure, I feel would balance out the 4 and make them all a good race.
2009 TGG.com FFKL Owners Vote This will be the first of a possible 2 votes since I want a number to some of these and I don't want a bunch of if polls, if it's not necessary. 1)Increase, decrease, or keep the bench the same? The bench is set at 8 players as of now. Pro for increase – Can have a full bench so you don't have to dump a guy to get a kicker. Con – FA pool gets depleted. Pro for decrease – FA pool is better. Con – People will have to make a lot of moves and I know people don't pay attention or have more guys on byes than bench size. 2)Keep the 3 strike rule for inactivity? This rule is to give people a couple of breaks on roster inactivity such as leaving an injured player(goes on IR or has surgery) on the starting roster or leaving a guy on during a bye. It's suppose to keep games competitive since later those games might determine who gets in the playoffs. 3)Increase the # of playoff teams to 8 or decrease to 4 or keep it at 6? 8 teams Pro – No byes and more teams in it. Con – Dilutes the playoffs as half the league would get in, possible under .500 teams could get in. 4 teams Pro – Makes winning the division important. Con – Good 2nd place teams get left out. 4)Drop the playoffs for a BCS type system? This would involve every team playing in a best of 3 series with the team next to them in the overall standings and only the top 2 teams would contend for the title. Pro – A great team will win the title Con – Only 2 teams are allowed in. 5)Increase, decrease, or keep the # of allowed keepers the same? As of now it's 4-6 players with a 7th being allowed if you keep 2 defensive players. 6)Realign the divisions? I have no clue someone just said it but I don't see anything wrong since results change on a yearly basis. In 5 years, 13 out of 16 teams have won a division title. 7)Drop the playoffs for a 15 week season and give the title to the 1st place team? Pro – Everyone will play each other Con – Almost everyone is out of it by week 10. 8) Eliminate the tie? In a tied game the winner would be determined by the QB score then combine RB & WR score. 9)Remove the veto vote on trades? A formality just to get trades processed faster.

1)Increase, decrease, or keep the bench the same? I think its fine where it is 2)Keep the 3 strike rule for inactivity? I like the rule... but I got a warning this year even though I consciously left in a questionable player b/c i didn't feel there was anybody on waivers worth picking up to stick in to cover me on a bye and injury week. 3)Increase the # of playoff teams to 8 or decrease to 4 or keep it at 6? I like the 6 team playoff 4)Drop the playoffs for a BCS type system? I prefer playoffs 5)Increase, decrease, or keep the # of allowed keepers the same? This setting is fine for me. 6)Realign the divisions? I'm fine with the current divisions 7)Drop the playoffs for a 15 week season and give the title to the 1st place team? No, I like the playoffsm 8) Eliminate the tie? Meh, I'd rather keep ties I think. 9)Remove the veto vote on trades? I like the trade veto because it allows us to prevent collusion.

Playoff Update: Rambo up 20 with Maclin & Tynes vs. Steve Smith, Rolle and Goldson for Red Rovers. unless Smith goes nuts I'd say Rambo wins. Oregon is up 40.1 with no one left but MSU has McNabb, Robbins, & Cromartie going so who knows. Will McNabb be good or will he stink it up, that's the question in this match-up The semifinals match-ups if Oregon holds on Mean Machine vs. Rambo/Red Rovers Pimps vs. Wombats if MSU comes back Mean Machine vs. MSU Pimps vs. Rambo/Red Rovers
Red Rovers came back and it looks like MSU falls short So unless Cromartie get an INT it's Mean Machine vs. Red Rovers Pimps vs. Wombats
In case people don't know the draft order: 1. Damage Inc. 2. Tequila 3. Dingleberries 4. nyjunc 5. Avalanche 6. Joe's Gym 7. Blitzers 8. The Boss 9. Hellcats 10. Shadow Knights 11. Evil Monkeys 12. MSU 13. Wombats 14. Red Rovers 15. TBA 16. TBA
haha woops i forgot to put in aaron rodgers. I would have been in the finals already! Now I have to hope for Favre, Rice, and Smith to do well.
Farve and Rice barely got you within 17. Would of been more if I wasn't a retard and put Forte in vs. Balt.
Smith got a touchdown but the Giants are up 24 so the passing game will be very limited the rest of the way.
