Fantasy Football 2004-5

[EN]

Looking through Yahoo today and ESPN and the fantasy football season looks like it's just about to start again.

Are people up for a league this year?

A couple of ideas I had were that as well as doing a head to head league like we normally do, we could also do a rotis league. To explain, unlike in head to head, in a rotis league points are scored over the season and decided on season totals. So in a 10 team league the person with the most rushing yards gets 10 points and the person with the least gets 1 point, and so on for all the scoring cats. The leagues could be run in parallel. People could do one or the other, or both.

I've been commish for the last couple of years and I'm happy to do it again, but if other people want to be commish instead then that is cool.

Really this topic is to set the ball rolling for ideas about the leagues and to see if there are enough people who want to be involved.

[Doink]

so is this american football? as id be interested to see if people would be up for one for the premiership (soccer/english football)

[The Mask]

We'll probably end up doing the BBC one again, but the scoring system in that leaves a lot to be desired.

what about the sun (newspaper) rules then everyone can keep track via a paper or their website!

[The Mask]

shut up the sun. I'll czech out the daily telegraph one when that starts again. that used to be pretty good.

[Doink]

shut up the sun. I'll czech out the daily telegraph one when that starts again. that used to be pretty good.

ok i dont like the sun either but i was thinking of something that everyone could get access to but the telegraph would do instead.

or we could use the daily sport :shifty:

[EN]

This is for football not soccer. :)

[The Mask]

Same difference.

Unless you're talking about American Football, then you can get out of this thread. I've hijacked it. Glory to Allah.

[KingofOldSchool]

I'll be the Commish in one of the NFL leagues.

[Gonzo]

I am up for some good ol' American football this year. :y:

[Mr. Monday Morning]

We'll probably end up doing the BBC one again, but the scoring system in that leaves a lot to be desired.

I just read in the paper this evening that the Fantasy Football webpage is being deleted permanently from the BBC site sometime soon. So a new one it is :$

[DaveWadding]

I'll be the Commish in one of the NFL leagues.
I'll do it cause I stomped everyone in your league last year

except for CNM :(

[Wengerland]

I just read in the paper this evening that the Fantasy Football webpage is being deleted permanently from the BBC site sometime soon. So a new one it is :$

Curses :mad:

[Boomer]

I played Yahoo last year. Tis good. Even payed the 10 bucks to see the up-to-the-minute stats

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I'll be in everything or anything or whatever.

[Yashamaga]

Yeah I'll do it again. I know more about the NFL now

[MoRcHeEbA]

yup, ill be in the head to head league

[Gonzo]

I'm going to win. :)

[KingofOldSchool]

I'll do it cause I stomped everyone in your league last year

except for CNM :(


But I won the big league so I should be Commish.

And we all know your rep. as Commish in Fantasy Leagues, Dave. :p

[Supreme Olajuwon]

yeah I would prefer if Dave is not a commisioner

[AlphaBean]

I'm in, but I tend to lose interest around halfway into the season. Let's hope that doesn't happen again :shifty:

[FearedSanctity]

I'm in. I finished 4th in a 12 man league last year. Oddly, I had the LOWEST POINT TOTAL out of everyone. But I guess that was good enough to be humiliated in the first round of the playoffs

[road doggy dogg]

If there's room, count me in. I need to make up for last year's second-half collapse. :o Pretty pumped up for football season alreadyyyy

If you're doing more than one league, I'll join a head to head, and a roto league if you're doing that. Maybe I'll get lucky again this year (Ahman Green has much love <3 ), and I swear this year I won't trade TO. Honestly. No really.

[The Outlaw]

I'm in.

[#1-norm-fan]

I'm in again.

Ended last year with a 4 game win streak, didn't make the playoffs. Gotta be one of the early faves.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Yea I gotta get in after last years horrible performance

Missing the draft with 20 people :(

:( VICK :(

[#1-norm-fan]

Yeah, you can draft during pre-season, right? If so, we should probably wait as late as we can to draft to prevent another Vick/Pennington situation.

[#1-norm-fan]

Also, I'll set up another Pick'em league this year :y:

[EN]

Nicely timed.

Stima when did you last check your baseball teams?

I've set up a Points league and a head to head league.

I've set the head to head league to be 16 people but the points league to 20.

The details for the points league are:

league number 7928

Password: people

For the head to head:

league number: 7976

Password: tpww

http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1

All suggestions for scoring, cats, waiver time, number of players etc welcome.

Can people check out the scoring for the points league because Yahoo has some funny ideas, so i think it needs changing.

[Boomer]

Hey just to see whos in, say if you sign up and which league. I played head to head Yahoo last year with very few change in the points system.

[Gonzo]

I joined the head to head system and am ranking my players in case I can't make the draft. After that, I'll join the points league, but if anyone wants a spot I'll drop the points league.

[Boomer]

Meh I don't know how points goes so I joined head-to-head

[road doggy dogg]

Okay I'm going to sign up right now. I didn't look at the settings or anything yet, but I have a few suggestions.

For the points, last year's wasn't too bad, but there were a few things that screwed it up a bit. IMO QBs shouldn't get points for completions, that makes their totals too high. And while I don't dislike the way we did this last year, I think it would probably be better to have players select a team defense, rather than individual players. I only say this because I know we have a lot of newer players, and most people generally don't know who the best cornerbacks and linebackers etc are in the league. So I guess it evens the playing field out a bit. I wouldn't really be angry if it stayed like it was last year though, so no biggy.

I think other than that, the points should be fine. Maybe make it more like the default Yahoo one (6 pts for a TD, 25 yards / pt for receiving, 10 yards / pt for rushing, 50 yards / pt for throwing), but that is just being nitpicky. Whatever you wanna do, that's fine. These are just suggestions.

[road doggy dogg]

Oh and for the record, I signed up to both leagues. If that's a problem to anyone, I'll drop out if you need room or anything.

[DaveWadding]

I'll be in everything or anything or whatever.

[Boomer]

While picking defense people is harder, I still enjoyed doing it. Again just another opinion.

And I'll sign up for both. Why not.

[KingofOldSchool]

At the request of EN, I've set up a 20 team league. Details of it in a minute..

[KingofOldSchool]

NOTE: The scoring system is just a rough draft of sorts and if the majority wants a change to something let me know. I'm flexible and willing to negotiate. That includes the day and time of the draft.

The positions, I like only having 1 starting RB, since there are only a few quality RB's, same with TE's.

[DaveWadding]

I'm gonna create another league myself...

12 teams, head-to-head.

if you're interested, hit me up.

[DaveWadding]

Scot, there shouldnt be team defense and individual defense guys..pick one or the other :-p

[Boomer]

How many leagues do we need?!?!

[DaveWadding]

quite a few, some of us like playing Fantasy.

[KingofOldSchool]

I did that it one of my leagues I commished last season and the people there liked that, but if enough people who sign up for the league wants one or the other, I'll do so.

[DaveWadding]

BTW, I only have my league because I like getting drunk on the power I have.

[BlackRavyyn]

<font color=lightgreen>I see RDD's made a return to the boards which is nice to see his return. Too bad it's to see his sorry ass get kicked around in football :p

EN, if you need a commish for the rotis league - let me know if you want me to take it over... :D I have signed up for both of those two.

I didn't even realize they were setting up. What's next, hockey? :cool:</font>

[Y2Ant]

I'll be in if there's room :wave:

[MoRcHeEbA]

I did that it one of my leagues I commished last season and the people there liked that, but if enough people who sign up for the league wants one or the other, I'll do so.

just do the individuals

[#1-norm-fan]

Yeah, just individuals. Keep everything even.

[#1-norm-fan]

I'm in the head to head league by the way

[Crimson]

I'll join a couple. Preferebly where i can draft defense.

[The Outlaw]

Joined a few.

[EN]

Well the 16 team league has 2 places left.

Plenty of places in the points league.

Could a couple of people ID themselves because I don't know who they are.

The Gathering

The Deacon Batista's

The points league is pretty simple to follow. Instead of your points being weekly they are based on season totals. So in head to head you might lose 28-31 and be pegged with a loss whilst someone else might win 10-7. In the points league your placing is decided by how many points you get rather than how many games you win.

I'll use the same scoring for both leagues and the same cats. You can only have 15 scoring cats and a maximum roster size of 25.

Point taken about the completions. last year we awarded .25 per completion.

Trades and whatnot, I reckon that we are all adults and if you make a stupid trade then its your own fault.

[road doggy dogg]

Deacon Batistas is Ant. I think he's using the same name in both leagues, but I'm not totally sure.


And about the trades... yeah it's annoying how every year it happens. I guess we'll just have to hope everyone's matured a bit and we'll all try and keep things even.

[Y2Ant]

Yeah i'm the Deacon Batistas, I don't recognize half the people in the leagues though, anyone wanna tell me who is who? :$

[road doggy dogg]

Jacox's Supastaz in tha house dawg

[Gonzo]

I'm in the head to head and points league run by EN, with working now I'd much rather concentrate on just a couple teams instead of trying to run four. Maybe I'll join Wadding's group since it is only 12 teams.

[The Outlaw]

Holy Snikeys/RoyalAnus representin'

Pine Riders = Moi

[Boomer]

If you can't figure me out, I'm sorry

[Gonzo]

Have it. Your fancy names will do nothing against my superior knowledge and prowess.

[Ferocious]

American Football is Rugby for pansies. Proper football however is a great game.

[road doggy dogg]

Yeah and if you continue being a retard and using that age old argument any longer in this thread you won't be able to brag about your stupid sport anywhere on this forum, if you catch my meaning.

[Gonzo]

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[MoRcHeEbA]

American football is just rugby for pussies :n:

[MoRcHeEbA]

CANADIAN FOOTBALL IS WHERE ITS AT.


sssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[Gonzo]

Oh hush, I played rugby at school. I'll have none of your crapola. I've played football too. You get hit you feel it either way.

[YOUR Hero]

Also, I'll set up another Pick'em league this year :y:
This is what I'm interested in. The others types are too confusing for me and my low football knowledge.

[YOUR Hero]

IS ONE ALREADY SET UPPPPPP????? I MUSt KNOW THIS

[FearedSanctity]

Thought I posted, I would be The Gathering

[Y2Ant]

IS ONE ALREADY SET UPPPPPP????? I MUSt KNOW THIS
Yeah, join the two that EN posted :rant:

[The Outlaw]

American football is just rugby for pussies :n:

ok psycho :roll:

[Gonzo]

By the way, don't get me started about that hockey shit.

[YOUR Hero]

Yeah, join the two that EN posted :rant:
Hey you. I'm talking about the Pick'em type league. Not these head to head or rotissiery type.

Now you may re-answer the question.

[Gonzo]

I don't think EN set one up yet. :y:

[#1-norm-fan]

IS ONE ALREADY SET UPPPPPP????? I MUSt KNOW THIS

Yahoo doesn't have it up yet I guess. Should be up any day though.

I'll also make a Survival league. Basically, that's where you start at week one by picking ONE team that will win their game that week. If you're right, you move on. However, once you pick a team to win their game, you can't pick the same team again for the rest of the year.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I can't join :mad: Not working

Oh yea Baseball.....MY BAD...Football is different

I never stop checking football teams last year even tho mine sucked :(

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Nevermind......IM in the head to head :cool:

[MoRcHeEbA]

don't forget the draft Dre Bly

That sounds really fun, heard of those.

[Seyda]

I tried to join wwf fan's thing but I got:

• This group has already begun the season. You are unable to join this group at this time. (Error #134)

so i dunno

[Supreme Olajuwon]

oh yeah I joined the two fantasy leagues a loonnnnnnnnnnng time ago too but I didnt post and inform you all so here I am informing you of me joining the two leagues ok bye

[#1-norm-fan]

Two other people are already in on the Survival thing. I don't know why Ant & Supreme are having problems.

You did go to Survival football and not Fantasy football, right?

[#1-norm-fan]

Yeah, I just tried joining again. It worked fine. Make sure you are on Survival Football.

[Gonzo]

Signed in for the survival league, never tried before, but it is an easy concept.

[YOUR Hero]

:?:

:mad:

[Gonzo]

What is your beef about?

[Gertner]

I want in.

Pick 'Em league......................................

Pick 'Em league......................................

Yahoo STILL doesn't have Pick 'em set up for some reason. :mad:

You should get in on Survival though for the time being. It requires basically the same football knowledge as Pick 'em.

[YOUR Hero]

No, because if you pick one wrong, you are out. So you have to play safe. Pick 'Em you can take chances and still have a shot at winning.

[JPR]

count me in for the points league

[Y2Ant]

d'oh

I was on Fantasy Football. :o

Can someone briefly explain Pro Pick 'em and Survival :o?

[EN]

Survival Football is up.

http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/survival

How long till the Hockey starts? :)

[YOUR Hero]

Someone link me to pick 'em.

[KingofOldSchool]

I still need 7 more people for my league.

Come on and sign up. :mad:

[OssMan]

I joines KoOS league. I am the gangsters :cool:

[#1-norm-fan]

Only like... 7 people in the Survival league so far. Has everyone gotten in who has tried?

Pick'em still not ready :nono:

[Y2Ant]

joined the Survival one :o

Is a pick 'em league just picking the winners each week? :$

I'll see if I can get a couple more people to join the Survival one, it looks pretty fun.

[#1-norm-fan]

Yeah. Pick'em is just where you pick the winners every week and the person with the most games right at the end of the year wins.

[Y2Ant]

nice

[KingofOldSchool]

I need at least two more people to join my league.

The draft is tommorrow. :mad:

[#1-norm-fan]

Only 6 teams in Survival. Not looking good.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I joined KoOS' league as the Freedonia Fighters</font>

[Y2Ant]

I'll see if I can get DrA to join :o

[Supreme Olajuwon]

woooo two drafts this weekend and I cant make either one

[EN]

The draft for KooS league is later today.

There are an uneven number of teams and it says we can't draft. So we'll have to wait and see.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

i can actaully make it tomorrow :cool:

[KingofOldSchool]

The draft for KooS league is later today.

There are an uneven number of teams and it says we can't draft. So we'll have to wait and see.

If someone doesn't sign up within the next hour, I'm gonna make a default team. Then if anyone wants to join after the draft, I'll give them that team.

[#1-norm-fan]

This is BADDDDD.

That uneven team rule doesn't make sense though.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. That ended abruptly. Right after the last pick... done.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I'd say that draft worked out well for me. My defense rules and I've got 2 top-quality RBs (Portis and Tiki).</font>

[KingofOldSchool]

You can thank me for the defense help. ;)

[Evil Vito]

You can thank me for the defense help. ;)

<font color=goldenrod>You are the man.</font> :D

[#1-norm-fan]

My defense is great as well. I can thank Yahoo's shitty defensive rankings for that. Also Fred Taylor and Rudi Johnson WILL RULE ALL RB TANDEMS!

[DaveWadding]

no? Davis/James > Taylor/Johnson

[Guest #1]

I'll match my D against any one. Y! was really wacky in their Def ranking. But luckily the draft was long enough to research.

[BlackRavyyn]

;ldfkjakfjfj :foc:

I forgot the draft was today and it shows...

[road doggy dogg]

I had one draft today. I'm pretty happy with my RB tandem.... Edgerrin James and Corey Dillon :yes:

[MoRcHeEbA]

if there's still room in the league that's drafting tomorrow, someone PM me the details.

[Y2Ant]

I'm gonna have to take some notes before I draft tonight :o

[#1-norm-fan]

James is good but a tad overrated. Taylor and Johnson will prove themselves this year though. The fantasy points will be coming fast and furious for me!

Also, I've got Pennington and Leftwich as my QBs. I haven't taken a good look at the other QB tandems in the league but I was suprised to have gotten the chance to get both of them.

[MoRcHeEbA]

McNabb,Harrington,Bledsoe :cool:

[VonErich Lives]

<font color=goldenrod>I'd say that draft worked out well for me. My defense rules and I've got 2 top-quality RBs (Portis and Tiki).</font>

How did you guys post your rosters, when i tried copying/pasting mine it gave all the stats and shit

Did you guy just clean it up yourself or is there an easier way?

Offer me something Stima, I'm interested in Stallworth :rant:

Nah I cleaned it all up myself, took like 5 minutes :rant:

I want Winslow and Jammer i'll give you Stallworth and I DUNNO..who are you intrested in?

My team from saturday is good. I have Lewis/Henry at rb, and a bunch of rookies, Winslow,Fitz,ReggieWilliams.

However todays my computer decided not to work and my team sucks. AND I HAD THE 1ST FREAKIN PICK.

[road doggy dogg]

You should trade said pick for my offer :shifty:

[MoRcHeEbA]

*breaks penningtons wrist*

[road doggy dogg]

:rant:

Nobody's doing anything with my offers :(

[Y2Ant]

*turns offer sideways*

*shoves it up your candy ass*

:shifty:

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I sent you an offer back

[#1-norm-fan]

McNabb,Harrington,Bledsoe :cool:

... Damn you. I have alot of faith in Bledsoe this year so that DOES actually sound good. Pennington and Leftwich though. C'mon. :cool:

Plus you've got Dunn and Thomas @ RB. I dunno.

Who was your first pick anyways? McNabb I'm assuming.

[#1-norm-fan]

QB: Chad Pennington (NYJ - QB)
WR: Koren Robinson (Sea - WR)
WR: Keyshawn Johnson (Dal - WR)
WR: Johnny Morton (KC - WR)
RB: Fred Taylor (Jax - RB)
RB: Rudi Johnson (Cin -RB)
TE: Erron Kinney (Ten - TE)
WR/TE: Kevin Dyson (SD - WR)
WR/RB: William Green (Clv - RB)
BN: Byron Leftwich (Jax - QB)
BN: Darnarian McCants (Was - WR)
BN: Stephen Alexander (Det - TE)
BN: Kevin Faulk (NE - RB)

I was searching like crazy during the draft for defense. Found alot of those guys near the bottom of the list.

yes Mcnabb was first, and did you see my WR's? I didn't take running backs till about the 7th round, I took awesome recievers since they usually do better then RB's :p. Not to Mention all my QB's this year have good wide outs to throw to so they'll be getting good numbers.

[#1-norm-fan]

RBs will get you more points especially in a league like this where TDs aren't everything. Only problem being RBs get injured more than WRs so taking them with a high pick is a bit more risky.

I had to basically give a LITTLE @ the WR position to help out my QB and RB positions. All 4 top WRs on their team though. Pretty solid.

Recievers and RB's have the same point system though :wtf: 10 yards per point, 6 for a touchdown. so it really makes no difference.

[#1-norm-fan]

RBs tend to get more yards though. Also, recievers don't run the ball often but RBs can rack up alot of yards both rushing and recieving. Usually RBs score more TDs as well.

[MoRcHeEbA]

we'll have to wait till week 9 to find out I guess which one wins :)

[#1-norm-fan]

Fred Taylor, Byron Leftwich and 3 of my defensive guys have byes that week. :'(

[MoRcHeEbA]

im in vegas that week before, I better get a chance to set my rosters :mad:

[#1-norm-fan]

Go ahead and, before you leave for Vegas, pick up a couple free agent WRs to replace Holt and Price because I'm pretty sure they both have byes that week. :shifty:

Can I suggest Dez White and Wayne Chrebet?

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

1st trade of the season is complete :cool:

[MoRcHeEbA]

Price,Dunn, and Longwell all have byes.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Stallworth, Rogers, and Springs for Winslow, Spikes and Jammer

What do you guys think?

[#1-norm-fan]

I think whoever got Stallworth, Rogers and Springs got the better of the deal.

[MoRcHeEbA]

I DUNNO, you're gonna be fucked if Winslow doesnt sign... He already turned down a contract that was huge for a rookie TE...

Stallworth, Springs and Rogers > Spikes and Jammer

if he doesn't sign for awhile :o

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Yea, I got Winslow. I needed some help on D..only guys I had was Ty Law and Arrington. Shoulda tried doing the deal without throwing in Springs :shifty:

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. That probably would have worked. I bet RDD really wanted Rogers.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

We'll see how it works out both Rogers and Stallworth where hurt last year and I kinda had that in the back of my mind

Really wish I tried that trade without Springs now tho lol

[road doggy dogg]

I wanted Stallworth more than Rogers :rant:

There's a lot of risks with the trade... Stallworth has a history with that hamstring of his, and Rogers himself wasn't Mr. Durable last season. Even if he does play 16 games, there's no guarantee he'll put up more than 600-700 yards and 6 TDs or something. Sure he's good, but Detroit's offense as a whole isn't.

And to be honest, I had 3 TEs, so I could risk letting one go (even as high of a calibre player as Winslow), and I needed the WRs more than the D anyways, so I'm not too upset with the trade. Of course, Springs didn't hurt matters any. :shifty:

[Y2Ant]

Hmmm since I don't really know who to use out of my 2 D guys in their bench spots, I might trade a couple of them for a decent WR if anyone's interested :o

Don't scam me though :$

[road doggy dogg]

Czech out that trade and tell me what U think ;)

[Y2Ant]

:cool:

[Crimson]

I dunno if i should trade LT or try and build my team around him . If RDD gets him he'll have LT and Priest :o.


Sean Taylor is the man , str8 up for Colvin stima?

[road doggy dogg]

LT aside, are you interested in either of the guys I offered? Maybe we can work out something else, 'cause you're gonna be hurting at RB because of the Ricky thing

[#1-norm-fan]

Who wants to trade me?!

I could use a good WR. I'm a little iffy in that area.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

[road doggy dogg]

Finally got myself a good QB... overpaid for him a bit, but QBs are more dominant in this league than most so I'd say it was worth it :mad:

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I woulda traded you Grossman for Dillon

:shifty:

RDD I woulda stuck with Pennington if I was you

[The Outlaw]

Yeah Ant got lucky :mad:

ALso how does survival work

[Y2Ant]

Drafting too much D paid off :cool:

Basically in Survival you pick one match winner per week, if you get it wrong you are out, so you have to pick wisely. Also you can only pick each team once, so you have to be pretty strategic with it :o

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I already picked the Patriots :y:

[Y2Ant]

brb gonna go pick Indy :shifty:

[BlackRavyyn]

<font color=lightgreen>A little tweaking, some trading and the teams appear to be better but meh, we'll have to see. I should've kept Culpepper but RDD wanted him and the offer was too sweet :cool:

Now Dave, or shall I say Mr.Commish - you only have five teams in your league and the draft is the weekend after this one. Think you may want to get some teams in that league perhaps? :rant:</font>

[MoRcHeEbA]

PM me the details dave-o and Russ I gotta wait till friday before I decide on that trade.

lol. What's this "Salary Cap Football" thing. Survival, Fantasy, Pick 'em, and now this? DQDFUIWEFH. Yahoo is great. I've set one of these up to now. I don't exactly know what it's all about but everyone join!

I've seen one of those salary cap type leagues before, they're pretty cool. You add/drop players based on their "value" type thing, so you essentially can have Manning/Moss/Holmes/Holt/etc all on your team at once, but for a price

[road doggy dogg]

Signed up for stima's pick 'em league btw

[road doggy dogg]

K I joined that salary cap league too :o


Damn, going nuts with fantasy this year. 4 football leagues, 2 survival, one pick 'em, and this salary cap one. Things are gonna get real hairy once hockey starts up :o

Don't burn yourself out mang. I basically did. Last year.


I'm much better now :)

[road doggy dogg]

Well the pick 'em/survival are easy enough, just check them once a week type thing.

And with my fantasy teams, already I'm pretty happy with both the teams I have now, so I won't have to put toooo much work into them. My one public league I'm pretty confident I can win it all without making any roster changes, so yeah. Not as much maintenance required as in past years :cool:

[DaveWadding]

the salary cap ones are a breeze.

I'm doing one through Best Buy this year, so if anyone wants to join that...

[el fregadero]

I joined that Pick'Em and the Salary Cap one.

[Gonzo]

4 Fantasy Football teams, two with local friends, two with TPWW.

2 survival football teams with TPWW.

1 college football pick em from another board.

1 pro football pickem tpww leage.

now the tpww salary cap league.

I pimp the Yahoo! fantasy scene. :cool:

[Y2Ant]

4 Fantasy leagues (1 points, 3 head to head)
1 Salary cap league
1 Pro pick'em league
1 Survival league (since all of us are in one, and the other one only has a few in)

[The Outlaw]

Oh look at me, I'm Y2Ant

[Y2Ant]

Nah, you are a nob :foc:

[BlackRavyyn]

Dave's league is now up to seven teams so that means at minimum, he needs another team to make it even and five would make it sweet so either get working on joining or I'm going to have two teams and trade between them :shifty:

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. This is gonna be the greatest season ever with all these yahoo games adding rooting interest to the bad games.

So someone explain to me the Salary Cap thing. Is it as simple as just putting whoever you want on your team all year long as long as you don't pass $100 mil? Or does it work like a stock market type deal where the player's cost will rise or fall depending on how well they do weekly, and then you buy and sell?

The second one

[Gonzo]

I liked my draft in the points league. Pretty strong overall, no real weaknesses. How about everyone else?

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Why would somebody drop Corey Dillon :|

ALSO Why would you take Springs just to drop him later on :mad:

[Gonzo]

Stupidity, plain and simple. :-\

[#1-norm-fan]

Just completed this trade in one of my other fantasy leagues...

GIVING: Jamal Lewis and Quincy Morgan

RECIEVING: Thomas Jones and Andre Johnson

Beautiful :cool:

Also, who is La Raza in our league? I've proposed a trade to them.

[road doggy dogg]

LOL what, that is awful

Chicago's still gonna suck, so their running game won't happen because they'll always be playing catch-up, therefore Thomas Jones is meh. Andre Johnson is good, granted, but LOL @ giving up Lewis for him

[#1-norm-fan]

Thomas Jones will be an animal this year and Chicago will be improved.

Also, Brian Billick said Jamal Lewis will not be playing after week 8 (When his trial starts). Therefore, I'm giving him up now while people are still willing to give alot for him.

[road doggy dogg]

I dunno, I wouldn't put a whole lot of faith into Jones. I'm not saying he's gonna be bad at all, but I don't think he's gonna be a top 15 back or anything like that is all.

Even if he doesn't play after week 8, 8 weeks is a large chunk of the fantasy season, and you bet he's gonna put up huge numbers while he's there. I guess it's just personal preference, but I would've stuck with Jamal.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Lewis could come back after week 8 though, depending how long it takes. He just said he wouldn't play during the trail. I am not sure how long this type of trial would take tho

[Gonzo]

In the league I play with my friends from school some kid tried trading me Jamal Lewis cause I have shit for RB's. He wanted Tom Brady or something, but I'm running game with Favre and Brady because we start two QB's. They are my money in that league and I'll be dammed if I trade for a guy who I know is already going to miss some games.

[#1-norm-fan]

I do have a feeling about Jones that he could be a top 10 back. Maybe even 1,400 yds or so. He looked great late last year w/ Tampa.

Granted it's still a bit of a risk to trade him for Jamal but getting Andre Johnson with him and only having to give up Quincy Morgan (Who I would have dropped anyway) makes it alot easier.

[#1-norm-fan]

Lewis could come back after week 8 though, depending how long it takes. He just said he wouldn't play during the trail. I am not sure how long this type of trial would take tho

I can't imagine a trial like this taking less than 9 weeks.
