I just renewed the fantasy football league for another year. Similar to the site fantasy baseball league, for those that want to play for money, the buy in is $30, but you are also welcome to play for free if you want. As for draft dates, I'm looking at Monday August 28 at 7:30 central, or Wednesday August 30 at the same tome.
Please respond here if you want to play.

Hammond Eggs is in.

I'm still in. The Monday works better for me.

Since everyone else seems to be alright with either day, we'll draft Monday Aug 28 at 7:30 central.

I just realized I never responded here. I'm in.

Four of us wolves is in. Although I'll probably change names. The Hangover is no longer relevant

Made a couple of minor league changes:
1) Reduced time for trade protests and waiver time to 1 day to better accomodate Thursday night games and trades made late in the week.
2) Eliminated the Yahoo can't cut list
3) Set waivers up for every player to lock at their game time. That way if you are waiting on a questionable guy in a late game, you can replace them in your lineup.

Are we moving the draft? My guess is that some will not be able to make it.

They're not easy to move. I'm afraid it will be auto-draft for a lot of folks.

I'm going to reschedule the draft. There's only the three of us in the draft room due to Harvey. I'll let everyone know the updated date.
Just set your teams to autopick once the draft resumes, and I'll delete the results after the draft.

Thanks

Draft has been rescheduled for next Tuesday, Sept 5 at 7:45 pm central. Everyone be safe.

Well, boys, I have to attend to important matters tonight so autodraft it is. That should result in a three or four game upward swing for me this year. Or I guess I could end up with Andrew Luck, Ezekiel Elliott and Will Fuller. Hell, I might still get that upward swing.

I'll miss your obligatory snarky comment about one or more of my picks.

I might not take Andrew Luck with my first pick this year.

I'm traveling. I look forward to finding out who my robot drafted when I return.

Oh shit, I forgot this was tonight... guess I got too caught up in verlander night. My team is probably better off anyway

Bingo. Ezekiel Elliott. When he returns in week 14 you motherfuckers better watch out. We'll be after your asses with a vengeance.
Good news is I got Jimmy Graham. Fucking Hapless was too distracted to pick him in one of his first seven selections. HAHAHA.
Put it on the board. Championship.

I've got Brian fucking Hoyer on my team so is there really any reason to play this season out? Just give me the title already

The Rues Hasn't Quite Figured Out This Whole "Draft a Good Team" Thing
Righty-o, Marissa.
-
Chuckles, I was on auto-draft, and ended up with the highest ranked draft grade in the league at B+. That makes sense, since I'm worse than aversage at drafting.
-
Yeah, but I was NOT autodrafting and had the highest point total out of the draft. Of course that means exactly squat in the season.
-
Doesn't matter, Brian. We're one and oh, Brian.

I've lost a lot of matchups over the years but never to a team that scored only 62.13 points.

Try losing to 56.14, which especially hurts because it was to AndyZipp.

Yeah, that was a shit sandwich of a matchup.
On the other hand, LSU will beat A&M by 90 million points in November (what else is new), so you have that going for you.

Meanwhile I managed to score 77 and lose by 17 points. Going against Kareem hunt isn't fun

Somehow my robo-pick lineup managed to win by 0.2 points (yes, two-tenths of a point). Naturally, my #1 receiver (Allen Robinson) lasted three plays into the season before suffering a season-ending knee injury. Of course, if Allen Robinson is your #1 receiver, your problems run a lot deeper than his injury.

I do like my robo picked lineup. Thank you robo for gracing me with Hunt.

Robo picked me two kickers. Two. For week one.

I was in fact going to mention that neither was Franks or whoever the hell the Bucs have kicking for them after they ditched the Xavier Sua-Filo of kickers. But I usually like to keep my posts nice and concise, nice and tidy, free of clutter and extraneous information.

My robo picked roster looks like a real solid bottom quadrant contender.

The Robo awarded itself a B+, which was the highest grade in the league, for my robo pick. Charlatans!

Wasn't much of a fight. My team laid a turd.

I'm a winner! I took the Baltimore defense against JAX, and they gave me a -6.00 point headstart on the day. Wheee!!!

Don’t worry. My team is determined to not score at all.

Just heading for 3-0, don't mind me.

Holy shit, Andy, you and I are in a battle for the worst performance ever.

Well, my so-called best draft in the league hasn't panned out. I'm 0-3, in last place and haven't scored 55 points yet in any matchup. Now, with my boycott of the NFL, I'm torn whether I ought to just leave this too. I realize that folks are counting on me to be competitive, so I'll probably stick with it, but only with stats and no live viewing.

Why are you boycotting the NFL?

A league-wide problem with respect for country. The real scoundrels here are the owners, who chose to appease a few miscreants rather than stand up for what is right. There is no First Amendment right to freedom of speech in a business context. The owners could fire any player who disregarded their instructions.

And I'll tell you who else pisses me off, it's that goddamn Rosa Parks. Who the hell does she think she is?

That's hilarious. Lack of respect for the country? Because the owners didn't think the government should be dictating their personnel decisions? What the fuck are you talking about?

If there was a movie you really wanted to see but the lead actor was an outspoken liberal activist, like Sean Penn, would you not go to the movie? Anyway, if you think they're miscreants, it shouldn't bother you. Why should you care what they do? They're miscreants and wont change because you stop watching a game. They don't see the inked cloth banner and the song the same way as you and most others do. They see it as something that can be used to gain attention to make a point about fairness and justice and quotas and cops killing more people than hurricanes and how people of different ethnic backgrounds aren't all treated the same. Don't allow their attention seeking to make you miss out on something you enjoy.
I seriously think the sports leagues should do what they suggested on South Park last year and just make an announcement before the playing telling people to: "please stand, sit, or kneel, for our National Anthem." Bingo, problem solved!
There is no endgame to these protests and sadly, nothing much changes for long as the cycle repeats itself.
Personally, I'm less inclined to watch the pro game because they seem to employee a large number of Neanderthallic abusers of women, not to mention the rampant homophobia.

You have got to be kidding me. Suppose, just for kicks, that somebody tells you that a fantasy matchup of kickers involves Robbie Gould and Stepnen Gostkowski, and one of them scores 7 points and the other 24. Which way would you bet?
-
A couple of outstanding first round playoff games.

Also, fuck T. Gurley and his 4 touchdowns.

Well, I kept telling Atlanta to throw the ball to Hooper last night, but they wouldn't do it. Fuckers.
I think this is the strongest evidence we have that there are time-travelers among us, and that Chuck is one of them. Seriously, why else would somebody sit the SEA defense against the Raiders and replace them with DET against CHI, for a net benefit of 14 points? Or know to put Gould in to harvest his 24 points?
I'd also like to thank the Texans for making Bortles look like Brady.

The same guy that knew to start Jimmy Graham, Jonathan Stewart, Alfred Morris, Lamar Miller and Golden Tate for a grand total of 10.80 points.
While we're at it, let's have a moment of silence for
Brandon Marshall
Odell Beckham Jr
Deshaun Watson
Carson Wentz
Hell, I'll even throw Bruce Ellington in there, why not?
And a special thank you to Ezekiel Elliott for being an outSTANding citizen.

You're a smart guy; you knew you had to cover your tracks a bit.
Frankly, my money was on Sphinx to win the whole thing, but he got ambushed yesterday too. You get Elliott back for next week in a Dallas must-win game against a suddenly impotent SEA defense, but if Tennessee rolls over for the Rams and Gurley goes wild again it may not matter.
-
Gurley will go wild. You can take that to the bank. I just hope Buffalo can hold Brady to three or four touchdowns. Then if Gould kicks five or six 70 yard field goals I could find myself right in the thing.
-

Don't forget the outSTANDing citizenship of the pregnant girlfriend beating, Tyreek Hill.

I did okay after a 2-5 start. Scored 108.31 points in the semis and lost. It is the highest losing score in the league this season. Todd "Fuckin'" Gurley.

The two teams with the highest regular season totals are squaring off in the finals. The scales of justice balanced out, even if tough to get an L with a really nice score.
I started to worry a bit that I might actually lose despite my wide margin heading into SNF when everything broke exactly your way: Gronk gets a ton of YDs but no TD from Brady and Lewis snipes a TD.
The real injustice was that somehow the Jags defense was so stifling the Texans didn’t have ample opportunity to turn the ball over.
I look forward to seeing which Jedi roster moves Chuck pulls this week. Zeke’s hunger for football porridge might be enough to carry the day.

My guys did everything I could have hoped for (well, except AJ Green) but couldn't overcome the 7 touchdowns and a mile of yardage from Gurley and McCoy. That of course was the most production from a running back tandem in any game all year.

Gurley may outscore my entire team.

Ha! He only got 30.40 points.

I don't understand the scoring in this league how I can completely get screwed over with the players I pick.
Yes, that's a complaint though I will attempt to figure it out again next year.
