tkam Posted August 18, 2008 Report Posted August 18, 2008 Any interest in setting up a head-case fantasy football league? I'd likely just create a league through espn's fantasy football unless someone has a better idea.
dweeb Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 Yahoo has a pretty good Fantasy Football system. I have not used ESPNs, but I would be interested in joining a Fantasy Football league.
Salt Peanuts Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 I'd be interested, though I must admit that it's been ages since I've looked into it.
riceboy Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 Yahoo has a pretty good Fantasy Football system. I have not used ESPNs, but I would be interested in joining a Fantasy Football league. X2 on Yahoo's Fantasy football system. I did play NFL.com fantasy football league as well and it was fun too. I would be down for Fantasy football
Salt Peanuts Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 i like fantasy football, in theory, but it seems like too much work, in practice. Well, you and I could be the lazy owners who forget to take out players who are on the bye week.
dweeb Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 The hardest part of Fantasy is getting everyone to agree on a draft date and time, but even that you can line up your picks before hand and let the computer pick for you from your picks. Usually there are 10 people, but we can get by with 6 people and have plenty of good players to draft. It really isn't that much work and Yahoo has a nice analysis system that gives you advice on who to bench and who to play. The default rules are pretty good also.
riceboy Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 I was thinking just having the computer pick the players for you and then just using the default rules. Yahoo is great in that it lets you know if that player has a bye week.
VPI Posted August 6, 2009 Report Posted August 6, 2009 I guess this did not happen last year but I would definitely be interested in participating if we can get one going this year. I have done Yahoo and ESPN and I actually preferred ESPN.
Sherwood Posted August 6, 2009 Report Posted August 6, 2009 I've done ESPN, enjoyed it, and am up for another go as well. Be warned, I suck.
VPI Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 Do you mean live drafting as in everyone gets in a room and does the draft together, while drinking heavily, or do you mean drafting your own players and not letting the computer choose them for you, while drinking heavily. How many people would we need to make this worthwhile, 10? 12?
raffy Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 Count me in, I'd love to do another league this year. I think we need at least 10 to make it work though.
VPI Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 Yeah I think a 10 team unit with active participants is about perfect. Todd, if you are no longer interested in managing the league let me know and I will set one up.
The Monkey Posted August 8, 2009 Report Posted August 8, 2009 Do you mean live drafting as in everyone gets in a room and does the draft together, while drinking heavily, or do you mean drafting your own players and not letting the computer choose them for you, while drinking heavily. Yeah, I prefer for the computer to do it for me while I drink heavily.
VPI Posted August 8, 2009 Report Posted August 8, 2009 I was hoping you would drink heavily during and draft 14 kickers or the whole Detroit Lions squad so I could be guaranteed a freebie week during the season. Looks like we have five confirmed at the moment so we need 5 more to make this happen.
The Monkey Posted August 8, 2009 Report Posted August 8, 2009 I was hoping you would drink heavily during and draft 14 kickers or the whole Detroit Lions squad so I could be guaranteed a freebie week during the season. I'm a Jets fan, so close enough.
Aura Posted August 10, 2009 Report Posted August 10, 2009 I am interested but have never done a fantasy league before, so if you guys are ok with having at least one newb in then I'm game.
VPI Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 No problem with newbies, but if we don't get some more players in the next couple of weeks I don't think it is going to happen.
VPI Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 At the moment we have 6 confirmed team owners. We can start a league with 6 owners but eight or ten would be a lot better. If everyone that wants to play will PM me their preferred e-mail I will set up an 8 Owner league and we will delete the two extra teams if we get no more interest.
The Monkey Posted August 14, 2009 Report Posted August 14, 2009 Are you ready for some football?! All signed up.
Aimless1 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Posted August 14, 2009 I was hoping you would drink heavily during and draft the whole Detroit Lions squad so I could be guaranteed a freebie week during the season. Ouch! The truth sucks 45+ year a Lions fan. Is there a worse franchise in the NFL?
VPI Posted August 14, 2009 Report Posted August 14, 2009 Ouch! The truth sucks 45+ year a Lions fan. Is there a worse franchise in the NFL? Sorry, at least you had Barry Sanders for a while.
VPI Posted August 14, 2009 Report Posted August 14, 2009 Alright, our roster as of today is: Salt Peanuts The Monkey Raffy Sherwood NMaher VPI I am waiting on an e-mail from Aura to send an invite and then if we can coerce one more owner we will be able to field a workable league. Be sure to vote for your preferred live draft date on the league page so we can get that figured out.
