[quote name='bvharris']The very first item in the league rules is about running up the score. It's not just about stats, it's about having some respect for your opponent, that's why it's under the heading "don't be a dick."
If you need to be told specifically that being respectful to your opponents applies to every single game in the league, including preseason, that's kind of a sad commentary, but fine: You've now been told specifically. I don't care whether it was "about running up the score" or not, that's exactly what it was.[/QUOTE]
So.....because my 1st or 2nd team offense/defense flew out to a huge lead, I don't get to work on anything with my 6th round rookie qb? Then whats the point of doing preseason at all?
I am one of the classiest members of this league, especially when it comes to matters of the score. I've on more than one occasion kneeled at the 1 yard line of my opponent, punted the ball back when someone clearly hit the "A" button more than one time by mistake and threw a pick, run the clock out from the beginning of the second half and so on.
But to not be able to use my backups, especially my rookies (WR and QB) specifically because my lead is already too large in a preseason game makes the whole idea of playing the preseason sort of ridiculous.
