Fantasy Football - Sign Up!

[Agent Proto]

I need a good receiver. ;_; I have none at all. Well, maybe Bennet, but that's it.

[Del Murder]

You also need a RB for week 3. With McAllister hurt you should take a look at his backup.

[The Captain]

Figures, when Pollard goes to the bench, he finally gets into the action. Still, let's see what Smith can do.

Great week everyone.

Take care all.

[Del Murder]

Indy TEs are a gamble because you never know which one will have the big day. I have Freddy Jones and he's a good option. Which week is Miami's bye? That's likely the only one I'll play him in. You can have him afterwards if you want.

[escobert]

is it too late to join?

[Del Murder]

Heh, yeah, sorry.

What are these fantasy sports that everyone speaks of around here?

[Del Murder]

In fantasy sports a bunch of people get together and draft teams of real players from that sport. Then they get points based on how those players do in the games. You can trade and pick up/drop players as well. It's really fun if you are a fan of the sport.

[The Captain]

LJ Smith appears to finally be coming into his own as he has a TD in the first two games thus far so I think my TE situation is settled. Thanks for the offer though Del. Always looking out for others, what a guy!

Take care all.

[Del Murder]

Yeah, and just my luck after I recommend Stecker to Proto I find out I have two injured RBs.

[The Captain]

Well sir, don't lose heart yet. If football season can teach you one thing, it's to expect the unexpected. Some RB will burst out of nowhere and have a solid year, the key is all in finding him. You've more than succeeded in doing that in baseball, so I have little to no doubt you'll find a way.

The real challenges are coming, as bye weeks wreck havoc on our rosters.

Take care all.

[Del Murder]

Yeah, I have the Dallas-Minnesota bye coming up soon and I'm not sure I can carry most of my current roster and still be competitive against Spuuky. But I can't think about that right now. Maybe I can trade for a backup someone has stashed away. James likely won't miss more than a week.

I think it's been proven that I'll always find a way.

I am anticipating your match with Stider next week as much as I am anticipating my own. Hopefully it will be a slugfest.

[eestlinc]

Hopefully my team will have hit its stride before I meet you guys down the road.

[Strider]

Goodness. What a week so far.

Factoid: Last year I was second in total points and first in opponents' total points.

I found the old spreadsheet. Here are the stats from last year.

Total Points:
the Bruckners - 1602
Oakland Enforcers - 1485
The Burning Legion - 1391
Banana Peppers - 1382
Team Discovery Chan. - 1372
Rainbow Warriors - 1351
The Captains Crew 2 - 1335
Livingston Gizzards - 1309
Dancing Moogles - 1304
The Blood Elfs - 1206
Feargus - 1194
Flying Mullets - 1141

Total opponenets points:
Oakland Enforcers - 1547
Team Discovery Chan. - 1544
Dancing Moogles - 1449
The Captains Crew 2 - 1400
Banana Peppers - 1334
The Blood Elfs - 1321
Flying Mullets - 1286
Feargus - 1282
the Bruckners - 1274
Rainbow Warriors - 1242
Livingston Gizzards - 1222
The Burning Legion - 1171

So I actually had a winning record though my opponenets scored more than I did. After me and Spiff, no one's schedule came even close to that difficulty. The point I'm trying to make here is that it is happening all over again. On Tuesday I will give you the updated stats from this year.
