I didn't know how to gauge how many people would be interested in playing in this league so I put a limit to 12 players.
i'm not sure if people want to put a little wager down or anything (giftcards etc)..
this is a Point System league.. meaning for the 17 weeks of regular season games you will be tallied points based on who you start. At week 17 the person with the most points wins. Playoffs are not counted.
There will be a LIVE draft also conducted on August 31 Sunday at 4:30pm for all members registered by that time.
because this is a yahoo league you need to sign up if you dont already have one (it only takes 5 minutes)
if you wish to play please join the league in the link below

I will post the scoring point system later or you can find it in your League Homepage.
Regular Season starts September 4th.
Let's get it on!

Edit 9/15/08
so it seems there was some confusion and I am STILL really not certain as to who is really playing in this league (as i thought walter [dub81] was playing)
for the sake of not being able (and not knowing who) to collect money from and also for the fact that we also have an out of state player.. this will be a "play for fun" game..
have fun!
thanks!
luktang 08-10-2008, 05:47 PM it's on baby.
bpang1 08-10-2008, 07:55 PM I'm in "BANG1" will win! OK have no idea if I will win...don't even know the draft order but I hope to win.
lostUNCERTAIN 08-11-2008, 12:00 AM who's dumb enough to draft a quarterback first due to team bias..
i am i am!
dub81 08-11-2008, 12:10 AM Oh shiz, sorry Peter!!! I totally forgot to Post this bad boy up!! Thanks for posting!! You are officialy the Fantasy Football thread moderator. :peace:
bpang1 08-11-2008, 02:16 PM In one of my other leagues a dude traded LT to me for Larry Johnson and Greg Jennings. Had to laugh about that one as I clicked accept.
lostUNCERTAIN 08-11-2008, 04:40 PM need suggestions on if we should have a small prize..
example: everybody chips in 5 dollars for a giftcard (walmart/Macys/gamestop etc)
T-shirt? Clothing?
leaving it as a friendly fun game of FFootball is also an option it's no big deal.. chime in
luktang 08-11-2008, 05:06 PM $5 is do-able.
we should do a live draft... hahahaha... bbq, beer and such. I dun think Blake can attend tho. ;)
lostUNCERTAIN 08-12-2008, 03:26 AM ^^it's okay we can pick for him... i remember him saying he wants Chad Pennington as his first pick ;-)
live draft sounds stellar! lets do it.. what do you guys think?
bpang1 08-12-2008, 10:04 AM Son of a...why would I want that scrub Pennington when I can have Rex Grossman or Michael Vick?!
luktang 08-12-2008, 03:24 PM Tim Biabatuka FTW~
nokturnal13itch 08-12-2008, 05:03 PM I dread football season.:hang:
bpang1 08-12-2008, 06:19 PM Tim Biabatuka FTW~
Biakabatuka was a stud on Madden one year...I just remember one of my stupid friends in College getting like 20 catches a game with him.
Oh and living in a city that has a NFL team is not so great when that team chooses to underperform and/or go around commiting crimes.
lostUNCERTAIN 08-12-2008, 06:37 PM i dunno blake.. i saw an interview with Marvin Lewis on sportscenter where he said the Bengals were gonna be spectacular this year and that Chad Johnson is a dream to work with this season.. he pulled a total 180..
at least i TRIED to believe it..
Chris Henry wouldnt be straying too far away from his team colors wearing an Orange suit though huh
bpang1 08-12-2008, 06:39 PM Slight OT...if anyone likes fantasy sports...try this http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Main/
I play it and I really like it...hell I don't even like baseball. Basic understanding is that you are the GM of the team and control everything worth controlling. Check it out ya'll because the first season is free which is what I took advantage of.
bpang1 08-12-2008, 06:41 PM i dunno blake.. i saw an interview with Marvin Lewis on sportscenter where he said the Bengals were gonna be spectacular this year and that Chad Johnson is a dream to work with this season.. he pulled a total 180..

LOL...this is true.
Yeah they pretty much make me so sad that I can hardly watch them play because I know somehow they're gonna choke. The funny thing is that the fans here are super hardcore about the team even when they had that decade of sucking. We also have Ohio State over here too so you can tell how crazy it gets when football season starts.
touge-n00b 08-12-2008, 07:37 PM Wooo, it's on now! :biggrin1:
lostUNCERTAIN 08-27-2008, 09:08 PM bump it up!
live online draft is in 3 days!
bump bump bump!
substitude 08-27-2008, 11:16 PM Hmmm.... thinking about joining. Not sure if I can make it to the live draft though...that means potentially being at the mercy of the auto-drafter (i.e. getting multiple kickers, tight ends or defenses).
EDIT: I just joined. Team name = Playmakers
Is draft order going to be random or will we know our draft position before Sunday?
lostUNCERTAIN 08-28-2008, 12:36 PM its randomized ON sunday i believe
bpang1 08-28-2008, 03:10 PM I'll be on the live draft most likely. But I think I might have to work at one of our shelters for Hurrican evacuees.
If not, the autopicker hasn't let me down yet. The only time it really screws you is if someone is still on the board that is rated highly but you have all those position spots filled so it signs a kicker or TE. But that's rare for me.
Oh and some dude just traded me LT for Larry Johnson and Clinton Portis....I pressed yes. I love having LT.
lostUNCERTAIN 08-28-2008, 07:19 PM great.. Patriots just went 0-4 in the preseason..
either my team has taken a HUGE step back and is having the superbowl hangover or it's just the "calm before the storm" deal and a beast is about to awaken..
substitude 08-28-2008, 08:17 PM ^ I don't think I'd be too concerned, especially with today's results. The box score looks like rosters for the CFL or NFL Europe. The only disheartening thing is that David Carr was the opposing QB today & he had himself a nice game.
bpang1 08-29-2008, 08:32 AM Yeah I wouldn't be too concerned either...if anything Tom can just get Giselle to flash the team really quick to motivate them.
If anything they are just resting all the old guys they have on the team and when those old guys are on the field they're probably only putting out about 50% and just getting their timing and formations correct.
I wouldn't be worried...those frickin Pats are too good to just all of a sudden suck.
substitude 08-30-2008, 01:32 PM C'mon guys... it's football season! Surely there are more than 7 of us who play FFB. You're gonna throw me off... I've never developed a draft strategy for a 7-man league.
luktang 08-30-2008, 01:56 PM Chad Johnson is officially Chad Javon Ocho Cinco...
touge-n00b 08-30-2008, 02:16 PM So 4:30 is our draft time tommorow? Sweet! I'll be ready.:biggrin1:
I dread football season.:hang:

i wanted to learn... but naaaaaahhhhhhh :lol:
substitude 08-30-2008, 04:34 PM Chad Johnson is officially Chad Javon Ocho Cinco...
I can't wait to see that on his jersey. Again.
What an interseting team them Bengels. I see they parted ways with Rudi Johnson today.
*note to self: remove Rudi from list so the auto-drafter doesn't pick him!*
Hopefully I'll make it for the live draft though.
Good thing I got Chris Perry late in my other draft!
substitude 08-30-2008, 04:36 PM So 4:30 is our draft time tommorow? Hope I finish AutoX in time.
4:30 it is.
I'll be at auto-x for only the 2nd time... 1st time was back in October.
Fortunately I'm in heat 2.
Unfortunately I can't stick around after to watch all the seasoned Suby drivers do their thing!

feedback anybody?
substitude 08-31-2008, 11:52 PM i missed the live draft.. but i ended up with a pretty decent team..
feedback anybody?
Chucky & I were the only ones drafting live. I love my WR's, but RB depth is a problem (hate to rely on rookies, but that's the route I went).
BTW, is that your sheltie in your avatar? Reminds me of when my dog was a little pup. We tried to taper his ears too, but he hated the tape.
luktang 09-01-2008, 06:04 PM When teams are picking kickers and def in the middle rounds, you know it's auto pick.
Umm... I'm willing to trade for another WR. Overall, I'm happy with my team. Sometimes picking at the end has its advantages.
touge-n00b 09-01-2008, 06:12 PM Argh, my stupid comp f**d up so I missed the live draft.
That being said, I'm stoked with my team. Got my QB and one of my RBs. :D

I just have too many teams at this point plus I play this hardball dynasty baseball game.
substitude 09-04-2008, 01:57 PM Don't forget, season starts today... like in a few hours. Giants vs. Redskins.
If anyone needs a QB, better pick Colt off waivers now & start him! :joker:
lostUNCERTAIN 09-04-2008, 01:59 PM lmao colt isnt starting is he?
substitude 09-04-2008, 02:47 PM ^ Nope. Just trying to get any edge I can get. :laugh:
Is Brady going to play on Sunday? He has some kind of foot injury.
That's the only thing I hate about drafing players from NE. I hate how Belichick reports injuries to the NFL. Seems like many of their key players are routinely "probable" for the next game. You know they're going to start Brady & Moss when they're "probable"... but never know when it comes to other players.
I'm sure most of you have seen this one already:

I like his definitions of probable, questionable & doubtful.

if everybody agrees i'll collect at the meets throughout the season (youll have until week 17 to throw in the pot)

substitude 09-04-2008, 10:07 PM I'm down with $10 too.
I'd go with either Cotchery or Johnson if it were me. The Eagles have a good secondary & can shut down an aging Holt. Of the remaining two, Johnson has a tougher match up... although they'll most likely be playing catch up which means more looks. Tough call. Seems like Fav-reh will spread the ball around & Cotchery should get his touches. I know that's not much help... but at least I trimmed the list (if it were my decision to make).
lostUNCERTAIN 09-05-2008, 02:53 AM thats perfect because i have three WR slots and brandon marshall im gonna keep against OAK
substitude 09-05-2008, 12:02 PM ^ I don't think he's playing against OAK due to his 1 game suspension.

luktang 09-05-2008, 07:57 PM Pete, how many WRs you have to start?
Andre Johnson and Torry Holt are proven guys... but you're right about the Eagles... However, L. Coles is hurt and questionable so I think Cotchery will have more look from Favre. Brandon Marshal is suspended for one game so you're going to get a big fat 0 if you start him.
luktang 09-05-2008, 07:57 PM I'm down with the $10 pot as well.
