Change the Yahoo settings to lock bench players

Explanation & Pitch: As it is currently structured in our rules, Yahoo allows managers to drop bench players even if they have already played their game for the week. Most other platforms have done away with this as a default setting, mainly because it allows managers to pick up someone for a Thursday Night Game as a "lottery ticket." If the player blows up/goes off, the manager will likely keep them. If the player doesn't, the manager can drop them immediately and rinse/repeat with the subsequent Sunday and Monday timeslots. If managers cannot pick up a player who has already played that week, why would they be allowed to drop them? Commit to your pickups for the week, and stop letting the few who exploit this rule get an even bigger upper hand.

If the league-loser punishment video requirement is removed, I propose we replace it with a new punishment. 

Explanation & Pitch: The league-loser will need to sit in McDonald's for 24 hours, with the opportunity to eat their way out of staying the full duration. Please view the image containing menu items with corresponding time reductions. For each menu item you eat, you reduce the time of your stay by the corresponding value. This rule defines a "league-loser" as the person who loses the regular season (this is different than the previous definition of league-loser). We will follow Yahoo's tiebreakers in the scenario of multiple managers with the same last-place record.
