I'm in.

[chandler44]

I'd like to join up if a spot comes open.

[DVauthrin]

I'm in and ready to go on my championship defense.

[Froback]

I would like to be back in, after missing last season I am itching to get back into the swing of things.

[T. J.]

If there's an opening, I'm in.

Who finished where last year?

I dominated the waiver wire.  Is that what you're asking?

If there's enough spillover to start a second league, I'd love to do an ESPN auction league.

Wait a second... I did this last year? And I made the playoffs with a losing record? Jesus, I must've been drunk, because I have only the foggiest recollection of that happening.

[Tralfaz]

I'm in, will pm you.

fine by me.   Also, the auction idea sounds pretty cool as well.   Have yet to try it in fantasy football.

ok, so here's the lineup so far:

Joey Trum

That's 12.  I can't tell if JackAstro wants to play, but if he does he's 13.

I'd say Froback gets next dibs because he's been embarrassed by his feeble mental ability played before.  A few others wanted in too, but I don't want to go higher than 14 teams unless somebody has a good idea on how to do it.  I'm going to eliminate one or two roster spots this year also so that we don't have to pick up as many dregs to fill out our teams.

$10 okay with everyone?  winner take all?  $20?  some other prize?

[JackAstro]

That's 12.  I can't tell if JackAstro wants to play, but if he does he's 13.

I'll send links to everyone on where to register.  Let's say $20 to play, unless anyone makes a good case otherwise.  First place gets $280.  Second place gets a plaque in the ladies' restroom.

I'll set up a paypal account and you can just send me your share whenever, or you can mail it if you want my address.  Everybody get it in by week 6 or so, and whoever hasn't paid will have their roster frozen.

I posted on the FFB site, but I will post here for those who are here more often.

Would it be possible to move the draft from 8pm to 9pm?  I have a preset thing on Tuesdays but am home by 9 with no issue, 8 is kindof in the middle of it.

No issue here.  $10 dances and half off all entrees is hard to pass up.

[Limey]

Wait...what?!

[Rebel Jew]

Hey everybody, so we have all 14 teams registered and ready to go for the season.

The draft is Wednesday, September 8th at 8:00 central (6 pacific), which is the day before the season.  I'm about to go out of town and am only going to be checking onto the internet a couple of times from tomorrow until then so if there's a huge problem with that let me know now.  Either way, autodraft can work out pretty well for you, just ask DVauthrin.

I'll put up the paypal thing after the draft.

Later losers,
Joey Trum (Dome Dogz)

[Tralfaz]

Joey, sent you a pm.  I'm on the list of 14, but getting a league full message when registering.  Anyone else get this?

[Rebel Jew]

Joey, sent you a pm.  I'm on the list of 14, but getting a league full message when registering.  Anyone else get this?

Yes, I do know.  I stupidly sent out 15 invites, confusing two of our posters who have similar names.  Anyone want to drop out so that a former champ can get in?

[subnuclear]

I'll drop if I can figure out how to do it.

EDIT: ok, figured it out.  Have fun!

[Tralfaz]

Thanks man, really appreciate it. 

[Rebel Jew]

Just a reminder, draft is tomorrow night at 8 pm central, 6 pm pacific.  They don't tell you the order until 30 minutes before.  If you can't make it or if you're going to miss part of it, you should log in and rank your players or else the computer's going to draft based on the preferences of yahoo's "experts."  I've got Jacoby Jones at the top of my board, so I'm not too concerned either way.  I'm about to go out of town again, so won't be checking any email until right before the draft.

My advice is that for the draft you use the computer with the working J on the keyboard. I don't think Yahoo will recognize Gacoby Gones.

I was the 15th invitee and had signed up but it looks like I got dropped.  No bigee.  Have fun.

Show up tomorrow night if you can.  Joey said he won't be able to check in with us until right before the draft, but I'd bet he'll be able to straighten it out then. 

[utastro]

It looks like I am still in the league.  Very strange.

[JaneDoe]

I was going to drop out so utastro could be in, as long as I got first shot at getting back in next year.  Do you confirm you are in?

I've got my "shit" together, I just didn't realize until tonight that you had changed the draft time to exactly the same time as another league I was running.  Yeah, shame on me for not checking this thread, but I made it work.  I just drafted using two different browsers.

you came on here 30 minutes before the draft trying to find somebody else to play, saying that you "can't make it."  the date & time has been posted on the yahoo site and here for almost a month.  you must admit that's pretty lame.

but i'm glad you found a way around the issue and you're still in, and i look forward to destroying your weak-ass team.

[chandler44]

No, "pretty lame" would have been bailing on the league, leaving you a team down. 

I already said that it was my fault for not seeing that you changed the draft time - which, by the way, you changed on August 27th on the league page, so that's hardly "almost a month".  But, regardless of when I saw the message, I didn't think I was capable of making the draft, so I was seeing if anyone wanted to take my spot, someone that could make the draft.  No one stepped up in the brief window of time available, so I figured out how to make both drafts, and everyone's happy.  How is that "pretty lame"?

Oh, and the week you "destroy" my weak-ass team, are you going to be borrowing someone else's?  I went and took a look at your team and...yeah...not scared.

[EasTexAstro]

Take it to the fantasy sports forum, people. We are trying to mourn the end of a season of baseball here.

[Ty in Tampa]

It's imaginary football playoff time everybody!  Time to separate the men from the boys from Chuck.

Me & Junior Raup (who somehow dominated the league with a shit team) have byes.  Utastro and Tralfaz in one quarterfinal.  Defending champ DVauthrin and Lurch (who 'lurched' his way into the playoffs despite being 10th in overall points) in the other.  Sorry about not getting around to making this a money league, but the shame you'll all feel when I embarrass you in the final two rounds will be more than enough reward for me.

That was back when Antonio Gates was healthy and goober Manning wasn't an interception machine.  Things would be different if we played again.  I think DVauthrin's gonna take the whole thing again if I had to bet on somebody.

[Tralfaz]

Some how my '10 Oilers snuck in the back door of this party.  Bum luck I guess, because I get out projected every week.   

[Waldo]

My team sucked from start to finish.

[austro]

I had no idea there is a consolation bracket, and I'm in it. It's a good thing I have a bye this week, because I still have Dez Bryant as one of my active WRs, and the only WRs on the bench play(ed) for Indy (last night). If I were playing this week, I'd be taking an automatic zero for him. Of course, that isn't much different from what I got from him the last two weeks.

[Duman]

Missed the first round of the draft due to spending quality time with my kids.  The computer drafted Shonn Green for me.  It was down hill after that.  Peyton Hillis made the season interesting but could never get solid help for him.  Congrats to those who made to playoffs.

[Lurch]

I had no idea there is a consolation bracket, and I'm in it.

i tried to pick up jackson in both my leagues for this week but he was already taken in both.  without gates, my team has threatened to topple for a while anyway, so this will probably be the week.  still got mcfadden though.

I drafted him, patiently held on to him on my bench, and started him when he shit the bed two weeks ago.  I wasn't going to make that mistake again.  Woops.

[Waldo]

Fucking Waldo had Rivers against the "we don't give a shit anymore" 49ers, so I'm in a pretty big hole.

Ehh.  Our seasons basically ended two weeks ago anyway.

I'm #7! I'm #7! I'm #7!

It sucks pretty bad when you need two giant foam hands to proclaim your standing.

[chuck]

Who's the idiot that I beat? Whoever that idiot is I propose that next year you call your team the Sharon Pratt Kellys. She's the woman that former and soon to be future Washington, DC, mayor Marion Berry beat in a mayoral race after his crack cocaine conviction.

That or the John Kerrys.

i tried to pick up jackson in both my leagues for this week but he was already taken in both.  without gates, my team has threatened to topple for a while anyway, so this will probably be the week.  still got mcfadden though.

I heard that Gates was definitely out for this week on Wed so I decided to see if I could pick up McMichael.  And low and behold Jackson is also still available so why not.  Who else is Rivers going to throw it to.  I wasn't even going to use him but I did not like Santonio Holmes vs Pittsburgh.  What a stroke of luck.  Jackson basically put me in the championship game.  Now of course I'm going to lose because I drafted Matt Ryan and held onto him until this week just to keep him from falling into the hands of the enemy.  And of course Jr. Raup picked him up and is going to use him to beat me to a bloody pulp in the championship game.

I'm just barely hanging on against Waldo in the consolation bracket. I've got about a 6 1/2 point lead, all my players are done, and he's still got the Chicago D to go tonight (against Minnesota on the frozen tundra). I'm hoping for a 45-44 game where both defenses spend the entire game falling down. Unluckily for me, it looks like Peterson may not play.

Ironically, in my other league I have a 1.1 point lead, all my players are done, and all my opponent has left is the Chicago D.  Only difference is I'm in the actual playoffs and not the consolation bracket, so I'm hoping Da Bears eat a huge shitburger tonight.  Seems hopeless though.

Do you resent ending the season at number 7 and having to play the #12 team to re-earn 7th place?

Like I said before, I was looking to pick up Jackson too so that add essentially won you the week.

I don't think ending the season at number 7 earns me the right to resent anything but my own stinky performance.

2.  Larger, mild-mannered Raup
3.  Some dipshit loudmouth from Gayville

Thanks everybody for playing!
