first 19 people to go do it are in

[SupermanX24]

[SupermanX24]

[Mike]

[Mike]

[Ian]

[Mike]

yay thats 4, comeon people its FRRRREEEEEEEEE

[Dilley]

count me in

[jims69camaro]

i'm in with my wishlist.

[badzracing]

I'll give it a whirl if you tell me how the hell to get to where I am putting in a name and password....I've never played so gimme a break here...lol

[badzracing]

ok, I figured it out...joined...will lose horrifically...thank you

[DrivenZ28]

I'm always up for another fantasy football league...look for me as the New Jersey Turnpikes

[cdacda13]

I'm in.
Team name already changed:
Romosexual Tendency

[foff667]

I'm in.
Team name already changed:
Romosexual Tendency

:supergay:

That name alone should get you a 50 point deduction right off the bat...

[DrivenZ28]

I'm in.
Team name already changed:
Romosexual Tendency

I GET IT!

I hate Romo also...but I would probably pick him if the timing is right...lol :mrgreen:

[black95maro]

in
:nod:

[firehawk1120]

I'll join sometime this weekend. Be careful with yahoo I think if you say 19 teams and it's not filled by the draft day they make it an open league and then let anyone join.

[jims69camaro]

let anyone join.

ugh. just what we need...

[jims69camaro]

hey, we've got eleven...

[Knipps]

If there's a spot open and the end and you need to fill it i'll take it (most likely won't play)

[LS1Hawk]

I'm in. Never done a fantasy league, so this should be interesting :lol:

[rscamaro73]

I'm in...I usually finish in the top 3 ;)

[Mike]

i can change our max players if interest stalls before the draft, we do need an even number of players though

[firehawk1120]

too many teams for me i'm out

[Mike]

Umm what's wrong with the amount of teams gene

[DrivenZ28]

too many teams for me i'm out


I like a lot of teams!

[JL8Jeff]

I know I won't pay enough attention so I'm dropping out.

-

[firehawk1120]

most leagues have 2 qb, 2 rb, 3 wr, 1 te, 1 k, 1 def, with 20 teams there most certainly is a lack of qb's rb and wr's. I hate playing in leagues with more then 10 teams.

[firehawk1120]

wtf i'm in lets see what happens

[rscamaro73]

Sometimes you get to be the bug....sometimes you get to be the windshield.

You might score on a QB, but get a 1/2 a$$ RB.....or a WR that goes out early in the season.....that's what trades are for....plus there are BYE weeks that help thin out the 'holdings', so to speak....

I auto picked my players for my other league and missed the draft and STILL got a dang gone good team...(but we break down the defense 8-))

[LS1Hawk]

We got 16 now. My brother-in-law was interested so I invited him.

[firehawk1120]

this is gonna be a cluster F.

[jims69camaro]

why are you so down on this? is it because there won't be enough available players? 19 does seem like more teams than is necessary. i'd rather see a qb that didn't get picked than how many teams have to settle for second stringers...

[firehawk1120]

no i just see about 1/3 of the people having dead teams. And they will have like peyton manning, and chad johnson type players. LOL

[Mike]

since yahoo takes 4 teams to the playoffs it would be cool if they devided a 20 team league into 4 divisions and pulled the division leaders....but they dont

[jims69camaro]

so some people are going to have dead teams meaning they will lose all of the time and lose interest in the game and stop playing? yeah, i see that happening, too... but i've seen it happen with a small amount of teams, too, and people just leave because they lost interest in the game.

i used to just log in once a week, but now they've got games on thurs, fri, sat, sunday and of course monday night. i guess i could still do it once a week, but with so many games going on, you have to stay on top of it to see if someone got injured or whatever. so it takes more participation, and i guess you really have to be into it in order to make it to the end.

[TNTramair]

I joined up. Quick question...why is the draft at 4:30pm on a tuesday afternoon??? arent people still workin at that time (like me)???

to get the even number of teams you can just put in a dummy team after all the players have been picked so you dont have any one with a bye week everyweek. just an idea.

[Mike]

if its at 4:30 its a yahoo f-up, it should be 7:30

ill fix it now

yahoo wont even let us draft with an odd number of teams

[Mike]

the clock on your yahoo must be set to pacific time, its set for 7:30pm eastern

[TNTramair]

gotcha....ok.

[Knipps]

Let me know if you need a BS team to make an even number (drop me a pm, it'll send me an email)

[LS1Hawk]

Has any time limits been set for the draft? i.e. How long you have to make a pick, or how long the draft is scheduled to run?

[Mike]

no clue, those werent options for me to change

[firehawk1120]

i believe you get 1 min 30 seconds to make your selection otherwise the computer selects the highest ranking player by yahoo for your team.

[Mike]

yea unless you rank your own list

[firehawk1120]

yeah and even then it takes 10 seconds for the program to make the pick LOL like it's thinking about it.

[jims69camaro]

yea unless you rank your own list

i did... i only hope i did it correctly. god, i hope i don't end up with a team full of losers. only hours until the draft. afterwards, if you could send me a PM with your wishlist, i would appreciate it.

[Ian]

I got favre :w00t: :lol:

[cdacda13]

for got it was tonight.

[LS1Hawk]

Everyone happy with their picks?

[Mike]

im happy, ill have to make some moves real quick before week 4, but i only have one week where the bye will mess me up

[firehawk1120]

pretty happy, i got my rookie that I wanted, and some good bench players

[LS1Hawk]

Having the 15th pick kinda sucked...but I think I got a decent team.

[jims69camaro]

well, i can't complain... T.O. and Edgerrin James in the backfield... and NY defense. i still wonder if i did it right. Mark Bulger as QB? i know he wasn't on my wishlist.

[TNTramair]

haha...i have a monster team(atleast on paper). i cant beleive LT slipped to #3...thats silly. housh, ingram, Mcdonald for receivers....Schaub and Campbell at the qb....SD defense...miller as the TE. Killer!! no huge stand outs cept for LT but all great players that produce. goodluck all.

[foff667]

Definitely didn't get the guys I wanted, I think I missed the first 3 picks before I remembered and jumped online...the first 3 or 4 are always key picks unfortunatly. Oh well, hopefully they'll do better than I put them on. BTW I didn't order my guys predraft thinking that I would actually remember to be online for the beginning of the draft otherwise I would've got who I wanted probably :lol:

[LS1Hawk]

In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really matter who you have because things change in football at the drop of a hat. LT can blow his knee out in the 2nd week. However, I still would have snagged him if I had the 1st pick :nod:

hey..easy with the "knee blowing" talk....:lol:....i picked up Sproles (his back up) just in case though.

[firehawk1120]

hey commish and everyone else keep up with the league trades are going on right now and it's not looking good.

[Mike]

THERE IS NOTHING SHOWING UP ON MY SCREEN,

ONLY TRANSACTIONS ARE SOMEONE DROPPING ONE BACKUP RUNNING BACK AND PICKING UP ANOTHER.

[firehawk1120]

it doesn't show up on the front page because it is a PENDING trade. Go to your team page and just above your list of players it says, Trade Pending.

[Mike]

no, it dosent, thanks for logging in as me

[jims69camaro]

it doesn't show up on the front page because it is a PENDING trade. Go to your team page and just above your list of players it says, Trade Pending.

well, since there is only one trade pending, i guess you're talking about me. you can vote it down, right?

[firehawk1120]

has to be voted down by a majority of the league.

CBR what do you mean thanks for logging in as you???

[Mike]

I meant that since you saw what was appearing on my screen you must have been on as me

[firehawk1120]

NO I was telling you where you can see the trade information. It's the same on everyones screen. How the hell would I log in as you??

[Mike]

you wouldnt, i was being sarcastic. like i said it wasnt appearing on my screen, even when i went into commish tools

[jims69camaro]

well, i certainly didn't mean to get everyone riled up. i thought it was a decent trade, as bulger has as much potential to have an outstanding season as anyone else.

no, i am not trying to stack teams. i clearly am the manager for both teams. if this is against the rules, then i apologize, but since we were having trouble coming up with people to play, i though it wouldn't hurt anything to manage two teams... i don't have any more trades at this point but i cannot speak for the future. again, i am not trying to stack teams, i was just looking to get an initial edge i might send them back to their previous teams, who knows, anything can happen (and it probably will).

and, btw, it is just a game. this is only my second year playing, so i have a lot to learn.

p.s. if i was stacking teams then i would have traded more than just the QB.

[jims69camaro]

speaking of knee blowing... i logged on to see this one this morning:
Tom Brady (NE - QB) IR knee
don't know when it happened, must've been recently, but man that could spell the end for a team right quick. i've been trying to keep up with the Bye weeks, and it sucks trying to fill a hole with a waiver right before the weekend. and both my teams are lucky to win 2 games all season? i guess i don't really know what i am doing, or don't have the players i thought i had. i guess it's like they've always said, one person can't carry a team.

tom brady blew his knee up in the first half of week 1

1st game....and yes, I had him.....talk about trying to figure out how to pick up the pieces.....

1-3 here
2-2 on my other yahoo league
0-4 on my nfl league

this is my worst yer EVAR !!!

[LS1Hawk]

Yeah, my team bites right now, 1-3.

[cdacda13]

Undefeated.

Rookies.

[badzracing]

Undefeated.

Rookies.

I'm a 4-0 rookie....that is all, over.

[Ian]

0-4 here. :w00t:

[jims69camaro]

dismal...

[jims69camaro]

plexico turned himself in... weapons charges, no less...

[cdacda13]

plexico turned himself in... weapons charges, no less...

How do you like that beat down I gave you this week?

[badzracing]

How do you like that beat down I gave you this week?

i gave someone a far worse beating...I'm The Bleeding.

[Ian]

wasnt me, I actually won last week :shock:

[Mike]

what a come back from my 1-4 start

[jims69camaro]

How do you like that beat down I gave you this week?

just like every week - no change.

you'd think i'd be able to win more than a few games with the point-earners i have. i'd be better off with a bunch of mid-scoring punks. stick the 'household names' where the sun don't shine. and terrell can blow me. what a waste of time he is. oh, he makes his one or two receptions and his one TD per week. outside of that he ain't worth the money or the time.

[LS1Hawk]

So how does this work now...4 teams make the playoffs and the remaining teams' seasons end after week 14?

[badzracing]

Really?...that would suck

[jims69camaro]

Really?...that would suck

that would be why it's called post-season.

[badzracing]

that would be why it's called post-season.

week 18 starts the post-season in the NFL, if most Fantasy teams are done in week 14, that would still be the regular season

[Mike]

yeah. they do that because if the playoffs run with the real playoffs, and half the players you have are on teams that didnt make the real playoffs, your not s.o.l.

[LS1Hawk]

I thought they might let the other teams continue to play each other after week 14 just for bragging rights.

[LS1Hawk]

Does yahoo do free fantasy leagues for baseball? Maybe we can get one going in the spring.

[Mike]

they do, but if you think its rough with people not paying attention to their team in football, wait until they have to check it every day

[LS1Hawk]

they do, but if you think its rough with people not paying attention to their team in football, wait until they have to check it every day

True. But maybe we just make that clear from the start, only people serious about winning can join. I'd even be up for doing a pay one. Nothing big, like $20 bucks up front just to make it so people that aren't interested in winning won't join.

[badzracing]

they do, but if you think its rough with people not paying attention to their team in football, wait until they have to check it every day

It seems like most people were interested in their football team/s this year. I'm glad I joined in, it's been fun.

[LS1Hawk]

Looks like the top 8 get to continue for week 15.

[cdacda13]

The final 4 is almost over. One game left to decide the two who will play in the championship.

[LS1Hawk]

Congrats to the winner. I lost my last game by 2 points and finished in 6th place. We should definitely continue this next year. It was a lot of fun.

[cdacda13]

CHAMPION!

[foff667]

I'll take tied for 5th for the crappy team I pieced together including one guy on an 0-15 team :lol:

Congrats to Homo opps I mean Romosexual tendency :D

[LS1Hawk]

I still think we should get a baseball league going.

[Mike]

CHAMPION!

yeah i got screwed when i woke up sunday morning and found out chad johnson was inactive and marshawn lynch would be playing "sparingly"

although, had andre johnson not **** the bed with his 2 catches for 14 yards, i still would have had a chance.

[cdacda13]

It was close for a while. But, yes, Andre Johnson shat the bed at the worst time for you. I was hoping that he wouldn't go off for another 200+ yds and 15 catches.

[foff667]

Yeah I had a few weeks like that where I played people that weren't even playing, whether it was due to me not having internet access for the week or just poor monitoring of status :(

I easily could've been 10-4 rather than 8-6

[jims69camaro]

Rothelisberger took a mean hit today. they say he was wiggling his fingers and toes, so maybe it was that hard of a hit, just shook him up. getting taken out by stretcher has to be the worst feeling...
