SnS Fantasy Football 2011!!!

[Rebel Jew]

I sent email reminders out to all of last year's managers, so you can sign up again if you want to play. I'm probably going to sit this season out, so I'll try to transfer over the commissioner stuff to somebody who wants that (it requires almost zero work).

If you don't want to go again, let us know and somebody else can join in your place. 14 teams again

Sorry, all.  Turns out Yahoo can't handle each league picking their own draft time, so they have limits on when you can do your draft.  There were no Monday night spots left.  Also, unless you draft by tomorrow, your league can't use week one for some reason.  Technology.

I've also set the league to a $30 buy-in, and we'll pay out top 3 places (50%, 30%, 20%) this season.

I need confirmation from everyone that this all (draft and buy-in) works for them.  Please reply or PM me ASAP.  If we have anyone that needs to bail, we still have three others that want to join:

I can tivo the first episode of Ted Nugent: Deerstalker (Season Three) so tomorrow night is fine. The buy-in is fine, too. Is it winner take all or what?

[T. J.]

Fine with me if I get a spot.

[Lurch]

we'll pay out top 3 places (50%, 30%, 20%) from the pot of $420

I CAN'T do tomorrow night. Keep trying for Monday, they'll make it happen eventually.

[Lurch]

Has to be Sunday for Week 1 to count.

Note: Drafts must be completed no later than the Sunday BEFORE the week you wish scoring to begin.

Regardless, only times for Monday are from 8am to 3pm and I'm guessing we'll all be out Labor Day'ing.

You ok with TJ taking your spot?

[Waldo]

I may be a little late to the draft - restaurant reservations at 7:30 - but otherwise I'm good.

EDIT - Moved our reservation up to 7pm, should be good to go.

That's strange, because in another league I run on Yahoo!, there is this message:

Leagues that complete drafts (live, auto, offline) after 11:59pm PT on Wednesday, September 7 will start scoring in week 2. However, the commissioner can adjust the league setting "Start League scoring in" to Week 1.

Yeah I was gonna say. Last year we did the draft the week of the first game as well. I don't recall yahoo limiting the times either. Lurch, you wanna reinstate me as co-commissioner for a day and I can tinker with it?

[Waldo]

Can't we just leave the Sunday draft as-is at this point?

[Duman]

I can't make the draft on Sunday.  But will be fine to let the computer draft for me.

I will not be contributing $30 to the pool. If that is a deal breaker, let someone else have my spot.

Don't worry, I've got Eli.

[Gizzmonic]

I know I'm not in the league but I just wanted to gloat for a minute. I've got the Jets defense and I'm playing against Romo. Room's latest INT just put me over the top.

[Lurch]

utastro has a sick team.  Just broke 100 pts, with a player yet to play, and has another 40 pts sitting on the bench

Says the man with 132 (?!?!) points today.

[austro]

Says the man with 132 (?!?!) points today.

It didn't look nearly so good 90 minutes ago. Sometimes even a blind sow finds an acorn.

[Andyzipp]

Probably a stupid question, but say your starting running back tears his ACL, and is out for the season, and also happens to be on the no-cut list, are you screwed?

[chuck]

Probably a stupid question, but say your starting running back tears his ACL, and is out for the season, and also happens to be on the no-cut list, are you screwed?

That's why you drafted Ben Tate.

Here's another stupid question: if you're averaging triple digits are you supposed to be 0-2?

[Lurch]

Fucking Tony Gonzalez.

[BizidyDizidy]

Fucking Tony Gonzalez.

How about picking up Detroit for the week

[chuck]

How about picking up Detroit for the week

Yeah, yeah. I pick up Cam Newton and Fred Davis and get better than 30 points from them and still get my ass kicked. Fucking Tony Gonzalez. And Peyton Hillis? Are you fucking kidding me?

[T. J.]

Holy shit!  Has anybody ever lost by more than 86 points?

[Waldo]

Holy shit!  Has anybody ever lost by more than 86 points?

I'm sure I came close last year.

[Lurch]

My team was projected to score 94 points.  10 more than any of you assholes.  I got 56.

[chuck]

My team was projected to score 94 points.  10 more than any of you assholes.  I got 56.

And as usual I've smoked most every one of you clowns except the one fucker I'm playing against. If Fred Davis gives me 4.06 points tonight I win. I wonder what winning feels like.

[BizidyDizidy]

Is it just me, or does Chuck do a lot of whining?

Fell asleep thinking I was sunk last night, woke up to Austro's whiney email. Need to put the hex on Tim Hightower.

[chuck]

I need a scoring clarification. If my offensive guy makes a tackle on an interception do I get points? Because that may be all I have going tonight.

[chuck]

I'm going to fucking lose and the Cowboys are going to win. What a fucking nightmare.

[Lurch]

I sat Dez.  For a second TE.

[BizidyDizidy]

And I appreciate it.

[BudGirl]

I sat Dez.  For a second TE.

Dez said last week in an interview that if his qb can play hurt then so can he. I'd rarely to never sit Dez anyway.

[austro]

I sat Dez.  For a second TE.

Ouch. Meanwhile, the Bears' D has decided to take the day off against Newton, which is going to hurt me.

Outstanding idea.

Dude, I need at least a 50 point lead going into the late games to have any prayer at all. More like 70 because Rogers is going to light Denver up.

Dude, I need at least a 50 point lead going into the late games to have any prayer at all. More like 70 because Rogers is going to light Denver up.

Nice pick 6 for you there.

At least I won't be sitting there tonight worrying about tenths of a point here and there.

I need about four more.

Wow!  46 pts

[austro]

Wow!  46 pts

Yeah, that's pretty ridiculous. I don't think I've ever seen a higher total.

ETA: Now I need Denver to gash through the GB defense to take a couple of points away from chuck.

[Lurch]

Yeah, that's pretty ridiculous. I don't think I've ever seen a higher total.

I think Vick had a record day last season that was in the 50s

edit: Nope, 49.  Clinton Portis with 54 is the most

[JaneDoe]

Another pick for GB.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

I don't know what you're talking about. I fully expect you to win.

It'll be close.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

It seems like every week, Chuck scores more points and everybody but the guy he's matched against.

[chuck]

It seems like every week, Chuck scores more points and everybody but the guy he's matched against.

I've noticed that, too, but I'm tired of hearing him whine about it all the fucking time.

[chuck]

You know, I was ruminating on this earlier today. My team is like the Denver Nuggets of the early '80s. The Nuggets score 135, the opposing team scores 140. Hence I am Doug Moe.

Next year my team will be the Moes.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Cam Newton = Alex English

[austro]

It seems like every week, Chuck scores more points and everybody but the guy he's matched against.

Not to worry. The Jets D is getting shredded, and chuck's victory is all but assured.

[chuck]

Cam Newton = Alex English

Calvin Johnson = Kiki Vandeweghe

austro is just fucking with me. The Jets will get another return or a pick six (or both) and shatter my meagre hopes.

[Lurch]

Do over!!

(I get to call this as league commish, right?)

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Who is DeMarco Murray and why is he gaining so many yards from scrimmage?

[austro]

Who is DeMarco Murray and why is he gaining so many yards from scrimmage?

And why won't Tony Romo throw to Miles Austin anymore?

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Murray just broke Emmett's Cowboy single game rushing record.

[chuck]

Brandon Lloyd has special magic powers! He's invisible!

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

KC's defense is working on a shutout, while the Raiders have thrown 6 interceptions. That has to be a lot of fantasy point for the Chief's D.

[chuck]

KC's defense is working on a shutout, while the Raiders have thrown 6 interceptions. That has to be a lot of fantasy point for the Chief's D.

I've been watching that game wondering how the fuck the Texans managed to lose to the Raiders.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

35 points for KC Defense. 2 TD, 6 Int, and a shutout. Even better than Foster's 33.60.

[austro]

Thus far I have received the grand total of 4.0 points from Miles Austin, Vincent Jackson, Jimmy Graham, and Mark Ingram. No wonder I'm getting destroyed.

[Lurch]

Brees just saved my ass

[Lurch]

I would just like to point out, on this public forum for all to see...

Sphinx picked up Tim Tebow yesterday.  There are no words

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Sunday morning, I  had a last minute epiphany, and put my faith in Tebow.

Brady had a bye and so did Fitzpatrick, so I had to drop Fitz. I picked up Jay Cutler earlier in the week, and then Sunday morning I swapped out Cutler for Tebow on a hunch Tebow might run for a couple of TDs. I was wrong on that, but he still scored 3X as many fantasy points (22.6) than Cutler (7.58). So tell me, was it a bad move?

[austro]

Sunday morning, I  had a last minute epiphany, and put my faith in Tebow.

Brady had a bye and so did Fitzpatrick, so I had to drop Fitz. I picked up Jay Cutler earlier in the week, and then Sunday morning I swapped out Cutler for Tebow on a hunch Tebow might run for a couple of TDs. I was wrong on that, but he still scored 3X as many fantasy points (22.6) than Cutler (7.58). So tell me, was it a bad move?

And I thank you for Fitz, because Rodgers has a bye coming up this week.

I don't care how well he does, we reserve the right to shame you.  Tim fucking Tebow.

[Lurch]

Alright, lurkers, what say you? Should I start Cowboy RB Murray, or give Chris Johnson yet another chance via Indy?

[austro]

Start Johnson and trade Murray to me.

[chuck]

Start Johnson and trade Murray to me.

I love how you got Stewart but I didn't. "There was another manager with a higher waiver priority requesting the player." Apparently 5-2 trumps 2-5 every time.

[DVauthrin]

What happened is you listed the Giants Defense as the higher waiver priority over Jonathan Stewart.    So as soon as yahoo gives you NYG Defense, you move to the back of the waiver order.  Then, as other owner's claims are processed, you move up a spot with every claim.    That's how he had the better waiver priority and was able to get Stewart.   

[austro]

He's probably the cream of my RB crop. That should tell you something.

[austro]

Well, that was certainly a nice twist. I had been keeping Vincent Jackson on the bench because he's been so worthless, so last week he goes off for 24 points while sitting on my bench. Miles "China Doll" Austin hurt himself again last week, and I can't cut his sorry ass, so I moved him to the bench and brought Jackson back. My reward? One catch for 22 yards, yielding 1.47 points. Woo hoo!

And I decided to try a new strategy with defense. Since Oakland had sucked so mightily the last two weeks, I decided to go with whomever they were playing, San Diego in this case. Naturally, after thowing about 27 interceptions last week, Palmer threw one last night, and the mighty San Diego defense racked up 5 whole points for my fantasy team.

It seems pretty clear that "Four of us wolves..." will be standing alone in first place next week.

Your team has really been coming on strong.

My bench is going to outscore my starters this week.

[Gizzmonic]

urgh. Left at least 20 pts  on the bench when I started Tebow over Sanch. At least I didn't need to win to get in

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

I'm going for the record of greatest margin of defeat today.

[HudsonHawk]

urgh. Left at least 20 pts  on the bench when I started Tebow over Sanch. At least I didn't need to win to get in

Either God really is rooting for Tebow, or Marion Barber is the stupidest football player in the history of the world.  All he has to do is fall down and they can run the clock out.  He can't even do that.  Tebow drives the last 40 seconds to tie the game.

[HudsonHawk]

And now, in field goal range in OT, Barber fumbles.

[HudsonHawk]

It's official...God hates Marion Barber.

[austro]

I don't know who runs The Primadonnas, but they're kicking my ass. How many 120 point games have we seen this year?

I kindof like him today. One of the most awesome meltdowns I have ever seen.

He is the Cowboys second biggest problem, behind Jones.  But by all means, keep on with the Romo love.

Jones is the biggest problem, yes, but that team would suck shit if not for Romo.

Back on topic here...

In order to make the Monday game watchable, I'm hoping for a big night from Brandon Lloyd so that Chuck can have both the highest scoring team in the league, and have the most points scored against him.  22 points from Lloyd gives him a perfect 1149 points for and points against.

That still won't make the game watchable, I realize, but it's worth noting.

Not inexplicable, it's not like we have Brady, Brees or Rogers to turn to.  He is the best we have right now, and far better than what he is given credit for (stats prove this).  Wins will come when Jerry stops building the team like a fantasy team.  There are about 20-25 teams that would love to have the Romo "issue".

How else do you want to measure him?  He is top five in just about every category over his carreer.  W/L's, rating, yards, TD's...

[MusicMan]

If Romo's a top-5 in W/L, then what's wrong with how Jerry's building the team?

When he has been out they suck.  Your Texans do not have that problem because they are built more solidly in the trenches.

I do.    My team for the most part has played well the last month.   FWIW, we get a rematch next week.

You destroyed me last week, and I suspect it will happen again this week. As I suspected, they're starting rest Rogers some now, so he's not going to put up the points that I've grown accustomed to. Add to that the will-he-show-up-or-won't-he-show-up performances of people like Vincent Jackson, and there's simply no predicting how my team will do from week to week.

Apparently I was wrong, as we don't meet.   I thought you had the points lead on utastro, and you outscored him in week 14.  yahoo has me playing him instead.

I'm just happy to make the playoffs my first year in the league. I expect I'll be hurtin' for certain after this weeks match up.

No way, you've got some great matchups this weekend. Brady (@Den), Nelson (@KC), Foster (Car), and Cruz (Was) all have real potential to go off. I've got Rodgers @ KC, but I'll bet he sits the 4th quarter again (or more), just like last week.

[Waldo]

Just let me know where to send my dues when the time comes.  Early on in the season I kept forgetting to check my roster and players (in both my leagues), racked up some losses, and figured I was out of the running for any prizes, so I figured I'd be fair to everybody and give everyone a free win for the rest of the season.

6th - BizidyDizidy - Decided Advantage
7th - Chuck - The Rues
8th - T.J. - Burning Sensations
9th - Lurch - Lurchs Short Bus
Participation Award - Andy - Vinegar Strokes

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Having Brady, Foster, San Fran D, and Nelson, helped me out. And I transacted my ass off. But I was mostly lucky. It feels good. Thanks to all.

[austro]

It came down to the wire for utastro and me in last night's NO game: we were separated by 3 points. On the last NO drive, if Brees throws that touchdown to Graham, I take 3rd place; if he throws it to anybody else (but especially Sproles), utastro takes 3rd.

Congrats to Sphinx on 1st place!

[Bench]

[Gizzmonic]

Not that anyone cares, but I lost my league Super Bowl thanks to the f***king Buffalo defense scoring 30 points!  ARGGGH

I got the Sacco.  I deserved the Sacco.  From drafting Deangelo Williams to every other poor move (dropping Gronkowski during a bye week) and season ending injury/suspension that followed.
