Title: Fantasy Football?
Post by: Spacey on August 31, 2007, 12:05:47 am
Anyone interested in getting a quick fantasy league going? Not sure if there is any interest but we could get it going by Monday and be ready for the season.

Just throwing it at the wall to see if it sticks.

well bro, I threaded at a dead hour and then I was walled by the Over Exposure threads and The Chase threads. I can\'t help it if I am getting "Barry Bonded" over this.

if there is enough interest I would be down.

Football just ain\'t the same without a fantasy team.

Title: Fantasy Football?
Post by: Spacey on August 31, 2007, 07:40:57 pm
we are at 5/6 right now. 10 would be ideal but at least 8 I would say. Any preference on yahoo or ESPN?
Title: Fantasy Football?
Post by: Rujah on August 31, 2007, 08:20:15 pm
i prefer yahoo. definitely a live draft.
Title: Fantasy Football?
Post by: Spacey on August 31, 2007, 08:24:05 pm
most of the fantasy seasons I have done have been on yahoo.

live draft is essential.

we should start one.

8 or 10 teams? or just settle on 6?
Title: Fantasy Football?
Post by: antbach on August 31, 2007, 08:29:37 pm
i\'ll add another league to the 4 i have already, why not. send me a link, probably won\'t be around for a live draft, so i\'ll let the computer pick for me.
Title: Fantasy Football?
Post by: Rujah on August 31, 2007, 08:47:31 pm
yeah. im sure my bros will join. someone basically just needs to set up one. and soon.
Title: Fantasy Football?
Post by: Spacey on August 31, 2007, 09:37:17 pm
Does somebody want to set up a Yahoo league? I have never done so, if someone knows how to that would be great.

The draft is going to be tough but it would have to be sometime between Sunday and Wednesday.

Head to Head? Points?

anyone?
Title: Fantasy Football?
Post by: Rujah on August 31, 2007, 09:54:43 pm
i guess i can set one up. i\'m a fan of head to head.

sounds good to me. thats fair enough.

let me know if you guys would like anything changed. right now the live draft is set for wednesday at 4 15. i wanted to set it up for monday since i figured most of you workalcoholics would have the day off but the latest time was 10 am. so I opted for a later time.
Title: Fantasy Football?
Post by: Spacey on August 31, 2007, 10:31:02 pm
looks good. now we just need the rest of the people to sign up.

there wasn\'t a way to make the draft later than 4pm?
Title: Fantasy Football?
Post by: antbach on August 31, 2007, 10:31:07 pm
draft is actually set for TUESDAY at 4:15, which is fine by me
Title: Fantasy Football?
Post by: Spacey on August 31, 2007, 10:35:26 pm
I\'ll be at work. I am going to check tomorrow to see if I can draft from there. If not I\'ll just pre rank and that will be it.
Title: Fantasy Football?

if Yahoo! isn\'t blocked you shouldn\'t have a problem (unless they block all pop ups and java stuff, I believe the online draft thing is java based)

Ran the "test your system" option this morning, the test failed. I guess Java isn\'t on this browser or its blocked and I can\'t view it.

We have 4 teams right now. Need a few more. Lets get this done, brosephs.
Title: Fantasy Football?
Post by: zuke583 on September 01, 2007, 12:21:40 pm
okay i\'m in

a couple things:

the league is set to start in Week 2...is there any way we can change that to week 1?

it\'s not a huge deal, since it\'s not a money league, but i would like to draft if at all possible and there\'s 0 chance i can draft tuesday at 4:15.  if it\'s all the same to everybody else (and it may not be - i don\'t know what your schedules are like) i\'d prefer a draft at 10 on monday.  again, it\'s not a big deal if we can\'t do that (and i\'m not even going to guarantee that I would wake up in time for it), but if everybody\'s on autodraft anyway then we might as well set it for a time where we may be able to make actual picks
Title: Fantasy Football?
Post by: Spacey on September 01, 2007, 12:58:01 pm
Scoring should start at Week 1, agreed.

Monday would work for me as well.
Title: Fantasy Football?
Post by: Rujah on September 01, 2007, 01:01:26 pm
monday is fine by me. i will change it later tonight. as far as week 1, yeah it definitely needs to start week 1. I will have to take a look at things. I am not sure why it isnt starting then
Title: Fantasy Football?
Post by: Rujah on September 02, 2007, 06:18:04 pm
well i changed it so scoring begins week one. so far we only have 6 teams, i would like to have 8 at least and 10 would be ideal. i have chosen to keep the draft at 4 15pm on Tuesday just in case we can draw some more people to the league.

This thread does have 237 views, why don\'t some of you other NFL fans join?

i won\'t be around for the draft today. you guys said something about auto draft or something like that
Title: Fantasy Football?
Post by: Spacey on September 04, 2007, 01:05:47 pm
once you get your team picked, I will walk you through the rest. its easy.

I can\'t draft at work, I put all my faith into the yahoo computer draft, regardless, we should all have decent players.
Title: Fantasy Football?
Post by: Rujah on September 04, 2007, 03:48:36 pm

you had the last pick, you should be able to view your team now. everyone has a good team, and there is still a shitload of talent out there in the free agent pool. my preseason pick for league champion is probably the polish guy from the ocean state.

my league doesn\'t even have the draft scheduled yet! :lol:

its an entry-level league. about half of the six or seven guys have never played before (myself included). at first my buddy (who tried to start a league for our friends, but all of our friends apparently now have football hating wives) and i were just gonna keep it at a two person league and then have the most ridiculous ff scores of all time. but since he\'s a big fantasy guy he just couldn\'t take being in such a useless league! if anyone wants in our joke of a league (drafts tomorrow night around ten, maybe???) there\'s at least two spots left. if not, please provide me with draft strategies, please! :lol:

the last three years that he\'s been healthy, henry has averaged 1300 yards and 10 TDs.  now he\'s on a team whose RBs get 1000 yards without even trying...i\'d say it\'s a pretty good pick.  (and at the very least, he\'ll lead the league in illegitimate children)

and while last year was a bust for cadillace, i\'ll take him in the 8th round any day.  he\'s TB\'s featured back with nobody challenging him for the spot

Post by: Drew_Kingsley on September 05, 2007, 01:26:28 pm
In an eight team league, every team looks good before injuries/surprises/busts set in.  But having said that, I\'m going with bush league bums as my pre-season pick.  Peyton, Jones-Drew, Shaun Alexander (sans Madden Curse this year), and Ocho Cinco on one squad.

The team I like the least is actually my own (Rodney Roid Rage).  But if Frank Gore blows up like I think he will, I\'ve definitely got a chance.
Title: Fantasy Football?
Post by: Spacey on September 05, 2007, 02:40:04 pm
I think you will be happy with Frank Gore this year.

Should be interesting once the season gets started tomorrow evening.

Drew Bennett, StL WR  Bench   
Michael Bennett, KC RB Bench   
Correll Buckhalter, Phi RB Bench

i need at least one more, good rb. i think. it was late (i stopped at 1am, but the draft ended around 2:30 - we started at 10!!!) and i started drinking early and i was reading the info for deangelo williams, then took deshaun foster instead. big oops right there!! that, and i was looking at the wrong list of teams (ie, not the draft order) when i was planning my picks. i was so confused why i wasn\'t getting the picks i thought i should, so this whole team was basically off the cuff...

How many teams were in this league? Ya did real well for QB (get rid of Favre though, even though he is a bye week fill in for ya, he\'s a turnover machine these days), first RB, WRs, and DEF. Depending on the amount of teams in your league, you coulda probably done alot better for a second RB, and even a little better than Colston as your number two WR. Betts and Foster are both good guys to have, but not as every week starters, they both split carries (Betts has more upside though with Portis\' yearly injury bound to happen sooner or later). Overall, 5.5/10.

ant~ its a twelve team league and i completely screwed up my planning by having the draft order wrong. i had to pick on the fly based on what was actually available vs. who i had intended to grab. it turned out ok. i\'m at #4 spot this week and won my head to head. but yeah, i need to see if i can trade out colston for some stud rb. i picked up antwan randle el as an extra reciever (got rid of terry glenn, obviously), since i have a feeling he\'s going to have a better overall year than moss. of course, too many skins on one team is never a good thing...

and yeah, i\'m rooting for portis\' injury this year. is that wrong fr a lifelong skins fan to do???

I am trading him away.

Title: Fantasy Football?
Post by: Spacey on October 23, 2007, 02:27:54 pm
It never crossed my mind about the DL until now and what made it worse was he is a no-cut player.

If we can change it, that\'d be super but we probably will not be able to.

My team name is MoonBrah
