I'd be pissed too. I cover the Eagles for RotoWire and just went back to look and see when I made the post about this and it shows November 15, meaning it was announced on Wednesday. Not sure if that changes anything for you; the fact it was before the next weeks games should be enough anyway. Yeah, you definitely got shafted. I’d be pissed too.

This is a group of friends that I am in the league with but the fact is that I would be one game out of the playoffs if I was given a win instead of the loss. Sportsline arbitrarily set their date at Wednesday so didnt automatically change the scores. Someone emailed in (Im guessing thousands did) and in the email part of the week the idiot that couldnt pick his nose correctly that CBS has calling fantasy posted that in his league he didnt count it b/c it wouldnt be fair since the nfl ruled it on Thursday. Huh? It happened before the next game...should be automatic. But not in CBS so people like me get forked and then guys that are getting paid to supply bad information to hundreds of thousands of people while sites like this go unnoticed by the masses despite the wealth of information here post remarks that are about the dumbest things i have ever heard.

Hopefully, this was the start of something big for Maroney. LT is an animal. Right, not only a 55-yard TD pass, but also an extra 30 yards passing.

Getting a 55-yard scoring pass in the middle of the week is a nice bonus! I love fretting about my starting lineups all week, analyzing trends, matchups, shamelessly soliciting as many other opinions as possible...only to watch LT make all my decisions completely moot. In a way though, it's almost better than falling just short knowing you could have changed the outcome by finally playing Maroney this week...

I changed it in the league I run, and always have when these things come up (it’s the third time a mid-week scoring change changed a games outcome in the past few years for this league)…..If you want a good argument, I heard Yahoo did this automatically. The commish had no say in it. And it changed winners/losers….I mean, if it’s official, you should get credit, regardless of when it was ruled it. TV – Your commish should change it, in my eyes.

They are 1 game out of first place! Frank Gore is a bad man. But obviously I expected more out of Alexander also…Yeah I’ve been waiting for Evans to break out all year, but that was pretty ridiculous. The best quarter by a WR in NFL history will work…Good for Tatum to rest, Mike looked so-so…It’s all about my new waiver pick up D. Nash…. I agree w/ Keith, the 49ers are longer bottom 5 doormats.

Losing both Jordan and McNabb just make it that much worse. Hopefully Alexander feels better next week, at least MoMo didn’t take many carries away from him at all. That whole game went against Seattle, so it was tough to tell just how out of shape Alexander was. TV – ya man, tough blow w/ CJ going off right after you dealt him.

Today I was on another site and saw a post about McNabb getting credit for an additional 55 yards passing a td last week. That is 11.5 points in my league. Last week I lost by 5.7... Needless to say I am hoping that my commissioner changes the outcome but I dont know if he will. This has never come up. I will be pretty upset if he doesnt but after today I dont know that it will matter. 30 points and likely the lowest points scored ever in my league (3 years) by about 25 points lol.

I'm having a hard time typicng, as I think I dislocated my shoulder from spending all day patting myself on the back after trading for Lee Evans. There's hope that Caddy and Edge might not be done afterall...and at least Tatum is inactive (now go out and stink up the joint, Mike!)

I had CJ for 9 weeks. He got 1 or 2 tds total. I trade him he gets over 40 points in consecutive weeks. I finally get SA back and look to be full strength going into the final month with a remote but still possible chance to make the playoffs. Jordan who was part of that trade for Johnson gets injured in the first quarter and is done for the season when Oakland finally looks like an nfl team. Then my best player, McNabb, tears his ACL and is also done for the year. I trade Dillon and Caldwell for Jennings and Tatum Bell figuring I make out like a bandit. Caldwell has another great game and Favre leaves the game and Green Bay gets shut out by a team that looked awful against the Jets last week and who gets shut out this week by the Bears. To make this an official woe is me post the guy Im playing this week who has averaged 70something points this year is already over 100 before the second half even starts with 2 players yet to play. I have an amazing 25. I guess I am paying for having such a terrific team the last 2 years but really what more could go wrong? Oh wait...Alexander could finally play and look like absolute shite against one of the 5 worst teams in the league. Yes! I dont know what else to do but laugh. I had CJ for 9 weeks.

Either way, he did look decent for once. Yikes is right. Duckett may get some goal line work, but it's clear the guy can't play. Good thing Washington gave up those draft picks for him. Betts is def. the man there. Maybe the fact they spelled Edge more so last game kept him fresher? Either way, he did look decent for once.

One owner spent $55 of his $100 on TJ Duckett this week though...yikes.

I'll probably just start Edge since I know I'll be most ticked if he finally does something and I leave him on my bench. He actually looked decent against the Cowboys last week, and they're a much better D.

I was really hoping to pick up Betts, but the guy right before me (priority-wise) got him...argh. I'm still thinking about using J. Jones, as it is a yardage-heavy league, and the matchup is nice...but if carries get split evenly like I'm worried they might, then I don't know what he'll do. I didn't trade the A-Train in this league, so I have him as a solid option too, and I'm not touching Tatum, Caddy or Maroney until they do something...which is looking less likely with each passing week. Oh, and Shanny, please sit Tatum and let him get healthy!!! God help me…I think I might use Edge this week.
