It's that time again, folks. I've just restarted the league, so all previous members should have gotten an email. But feel free to try even if you weren't part of this last year; if there's enough interest, I'll create a second league, and I'm people from the first league will join up as well to make any additional leagues competitive as well.

Post in here if you need the password or have any questions.
First off, can someone sticky this?
Secondly, I posted this in the Yahoo League, but in case you guys don't check that often after signing up, I need everyone's draft availability, at least for those who can't make certain dates (you can post that here if you want). Also, I brought up something that was discussed last year: the possibility of a 6-team playoff.
Football already?
"Already?" The wait has been too long!
I'm in the midst of futbol fever right now but I'll sign up soon.
Take care all.
LET. ME. IN.
EDIT. JUNE?! You started this in JUNE?! What the hell. I hate you.
Haha, Spiff, I just thought about trying to dig up your email address. We have space for you! I'm PMing you the details now.
:-*
Well there's a guarnateed loss for my team.
And now we have our 14 members! Now that we have our league roster all set, over the next week or so I'll randomly determine draft positions by my usual tradition of having my sister pull team names out of a hat.
Everyone, please remember to post here or on the league forum about what draft times you will be available the last weeks of August.
dammit. too late as usual.
Aw man, fantasy football is blocked by my work's gaming filter, yet fantasy baseball isn't. That's so weird!
I'm up for this no doubt. Even though I've never been in one before, I've always been a HUGE fan of football. And the Colts.
Unfortunately the league is filled. If there's enough interest I can create a second league, but that might be doubtful at this point. Unless spuuky creates his joke league again, which was fun.
Draft Results! Here is the official draft order for this year.
1. Retired #4's
2. Metal Bubble Slimes
3. Before Destruction
4. Carpieburgh Steelers
5. KansasCity Shufflers
6. Oakland Enforcers
7. Vuvuzela Destroyers
8. Yukichan's Papa
9. Los Banditos
10. edczxcvbnm's Angels
11. The Brees Knees
12. Gotta Catch 'Em All
13. One Man Wolfpack
14. Fighting Combatants
I would say tough luck for Fighting Combatants to get a bottom-two pick for the second year in a row, but he won last year.
Also, everyone else who has gotten in touch with me says the current draft time is good for them, and because I have no alternatives given to me that will work with such a majority, the current draft time stays. Sorry, eesty.
Good luck, everyone!
Who is the 6th best player? Is Tomlinson still good?
I think I took Tomlinson there last year. :(
Wait... are you mocking me? :mad2:
I am now. :)
Yahoo says Frank Gore is the 6th best player. I guess he's good.
Just a reminder that our draft is this Saturday at 3 PM EST.
I picked up gore 6th overall in the league I joined. Hopefully he'll do well. I think I got Larry Fitzgerald in the 3rd round or something.
My first instinct was to say your co-managers are retarded, but not every league is a 14-team giant like ours.Quote:

Fitzgerald could have a blindfolded lineman throwing behind his back as a QB and Fitzgerald would still put up 1,000 and 10. If Randy Moss can put up good numbers with Matt Cassel at the helm, I'm not particularly worried about Fitzgerald busting.
Well it looks like I have Fitzgerald so I hope you're right. I think I did pretty good this draft, though I have some injury risk players. I don't know if Williams was the right pick at number 7 (I feel like he's a pretty big dropoff from Gore who was pick 6), but I had only thought it through the first 6 players because I thought I picked 6th! My fault for not checking the official draft order.
I at least kept true to my current philosophy that getting 3 reliable WR in the draft is more important than getting 2 reliable RB. Great RB values always pop during the season but WRs rarely do, and you need to start more of them. I do think my WR set (Fitzgerald, Colston, Driver, with Santonio Holmes after his suspension) is among the best in the league, if not the best.
The one posted here was the "official" draft order, so that's entirely my fault. I must have messed up with the drag-and-drop process of setting up the Yahoo draft order.
I don't think Williams was a bad pick at 7th. I certainly agree more with that pick than taking Matthews or Greene instead. Maybe Andre Johnson or Mendenhall.
Yeah the way Yahoo sets up ordering the draft is dumb. I've messed it up a couple times in baseball, too. No worries.
The Onion's guide to the NFL, with a breakdown of every team. It's pretty amusing.
Sarcasm or not, it's pretty accurate in most places.
Good stuff. Seasons starts this thursday! *hyped*
lulz god job cowgirls :D
I am amused by their 0-2 start.
I'm amused that the Chiefs lead the AFC West.
And undefeated!
Denver did much better this week, too. Eddie Royal seems like he'll prove to be a good pick for a 4th WR.
EDIT: Even better, the Patriots will lose to the Jets!
Surprisingly, I'm more interested in the Rockies than the Broncos right now. I'm glad the Broncos won, but I don't see them winning many more games. I predict they'll go 6-10 or 7-9 at best, if they do anymore I will be surprised.
Pretty much nothing has changed in the AFC West this week. Chiefs are 2-0, Chargers/Broncos/Raiders are 1-1. Woo!
Fell short this year, thanks to my arch rival. That was probably the most epic battle we've ever had! Too bad I was on the losing end.
