I have the Calvinball!

I am late today because my Mom made me eat broccoli and broccoli is gross! I got grounded because I wouldn't eat it and couldn't use the internet!

Because of my hatred for this vegetable, no one can play any player that has Green on their logos!

So I guess I'm telling on myself?

Anyway, I blanked on the rules/roster setting portion of the week (searching for new jobs is time-consuming) and ended up starting Kai Forbath. Even though he's been released, he still comes up as being on Washington. Do I get dinged for playing someone that didn't play a snap even though he's not on a roster, or do we just roll with the zero and use my other kicker slot?

You will either get a zero or negative points depending on if any of the currently rostered kickers score negative points.

It won't end up mattering and I will probably forego doing the math depending on how close the game is since projected scores are 15-25K this week and the most negative kicker only has -340 on the season.

Honestly I wasn't even going to tattle unless you beat me by some ungodly tiny margin. He's already a 0, so it wouldn't even help unless a kicker managed to score enough negative points this week to save me.

All the 3rd year managers are doing poorly while the 2nd year managers have winning records (except gardenald who had 2nd highest points but ran into top score). New players are doing good or very very bad.
