I'm here to do the commissioner's job

 

Here at the Weenie Hut Jr Post Gazette Times New Roman we do more than just be the official

 news providers of the league. We also basically do the commissioner’s job. Which is why we are agai

n doing our potential rules changes breakdown and telling you exactly how to vote.

Witzo Bowl Playoff Revamp

After 3 years of enduring the dumbest part of our league, we need to revamp the Witzo (RIP) Bowl Playoffs

 presented by Pampers Diapers. The first week only mattering to set the matchups for the semifinals is 

meaningless at best, and at worst is strife for causing thrown games. It ruins the integrity of the league and 

absolutely needs to change. The only question is how? A 3 game round robin tournament between the 4 teams

 may be the fairest, or doing one 2 week matchup whether for the semifinals or finals. Any of those options are

 way better than the current situation, so vote with your heart on that one

Verdict: Get rid of the current System

Kicker Points

This fella isn’t the biggest ticket item out there, but it’s more of a logical change. Missed field goals are worth

 -1 point. Missed XPs, which are often times much easier, are worth 0. This is quite illogical. The only argument 

against this lost point for missed XPs is the fact that a made XP is only worth 1 whereas a field goal is worth a

 minimum of 3, so I suppose there’s an argument to not punish XPs as much if there’s less reward. I still think

 it makes no sense but I suppose there could be a counter argument.

Verdict: Punish those moron kickers

More Kicker Points

Exact points over 3 and 1 pt per yard for record setting kicks. The exact points one is totally fine and will

 make kickers ever so slightly more valuable. It does get rid of those funny moments where your opponent’s

 kicker hits a 49 yarder and he starts screaming about how this has ruined his week despite being down 30 with

 only Chubba Hubbard left to play, but at the same time I think I was that guy most weeks so this probably

 helps me the most. The record setting kick one is very interesting because whoever gets Justin Tucker has the

 outside chance of auto winning at any point in the season. The exact one I think 

is a nice one to add, not sold for the record setting one but not opposed (do we trust the commissioner to

 actually change the scores in a timely manner and get the math right?).

Verdict: Eh why not

Brian’s Kicker Rule

Brian hates kickers and wants to get rid of him. Brian also hates having fun and kicks puppies

Verdict: Brian Sucks

More Brian Rules

PPR. The future of fantasy football to many. Sacrilege to Phil. Will we ever switch to it? Well now that

 Phil is in a PPR league he’ll finally get to experience it so once it doesn’t kill him it may be on the table

. However until that point Phil has my family locked in a basement and if I back the vote I may never see 

them again.

Verdict: Phil please let them go they’re innocent

The Q Memorial Playoff Spot

Named after the league manager who has managed to accomplish

 this one time, the 6th playoff spot would go to the highest scoring team

 in the bottom 5, so that way no one gets mega screwed by a bad schedule while scoring a ton. This is interesting

 because then we may wanna switch up how the playoff seeding is done, because in a way this could screw 

the 3rd seed in the first round. I feel like the 5th seed is often worse than the highest scoring from the bottom 

5 more often than not, so this may actually benefit the 4th seed the most. Not only would they likely get the

 better first round matchup, but that would then line them up to face the 2nd seed instead of the 1st in the semis

 if they win. Maybe let the higher seed decide their matchup between the 5th and 6th seed instead?

Verdict: I would’ve made the playoffs this past season with this so no because next year I’ll get left out 

because of it

Revisit the Trade Deadline

Don’t remember why I wrote this but sure.

D/ST Scoring

Brian’s list wants more negative points for defenses, which I don’t quite understand.

 If you think about this with video game logic, we would be taking one of the lowest power positions,

 and nerfing it? At this point I’m beginning to think Bill Belichik played hide the nickel in the bedsheets

 with 6 year old Brian and he hates special teams as a result.

Verdict: Brian get a life

Matchup Tie Breaker

Another one from the list Brian sent. I’m assuming this means use season matchups to determine the

 standings tiebreakers? It is definitely a chaos move which I’m not opposed to. Points for is a standard 

tiebreaker and rewards teams for longer sustained success, which is nice. The biggest downsides to this rule

would be making it really tough to figure out end of season possibilities if 3 or more teams are still in the mix

, and also if I miss the playoffs due to a rough bye week, I’m going to cut someone’s brakes.

Verdict: Nah

Pay for Journalism

Please give me money

Verdict: Yes

Keepers

Keep up to 3 people but it costs you a draft pick 1-3 rounds higher than where you

 took the person (so potentially people picked in the first 1-3 rounds are unkeepable). This is an interesting

 to give a little more continuity to your team year-to-year, but it does make it a little tougher for the bad teams

 to recover from the year prior. I prefer the full on 

redraft model we’ve been going with because any year could be anybody’s year

 (except Darrian) and that hope is the only thing that is keeping me alive.

Verdict: Nope
