NFT: BBI fantasy football league......

Keith : 7/7/2017 11:32 am
Gentleman and arc, we discussed starting the league back up. I want to get it online, so lets solidify the managers. I'd like to give the active members from the last league the first crack and then fill in the rest with active bbi'ers.

I completely forgot who has confirmed their interest, so lets rehash that as well...

Keith
arc
pj
EricJ

I remember there was a Rangers fan in there and maybe another guy or two. Going back to our last league, I remember Tbone was in it, hopefully he can add a 54th league. Who else?
Thanks Keith...

Jon in NYC
Cromartiekid21
T-Bone's Army
Osi Humanurine
Pete's Players
jlukes
Greg in Li's jorts (I believe this was dep)
pjcas18
kmed
Mike in St. Louis
Big Fred
Arc

in order of standings and Arc was 0 - 13 (had to add that, LOL).
free?  
jlukes : 7/7/2017 11:45 am : link
sure, why not
Ok  
Keith : 7/7/2017 11:48 am : link
A couple of those guys aren't active anymore. I know dep wants in, we can make an exception for him because at least he will bring the drama. Unfortunately he won't be apart of any bbi conversations though. :(

Osi, jlukes, Mike....anyone want in? Once we get an answer from those guys, we will know how many spots to fill.
We don't discuss any funds, fees, or monetary policies  
Keith : 7/7/2017 11:48 am : link

arcarsenal : 7/7/2017 11:49 am : link
I'm in (obviously)

I need to make up for my winless season. Andrew Luck was going to be in the draft the following year, so I tanked on purpose.. was just trying to get a hold of a franchise QB. Jeez.

I'd like to do a small buy in if possible... 25 or something. I feel like if it's free, people will just lose interest which is what happened with our baseball league a few years back.

I think most of us have been around here long enough that we could do that without it being an issue.

Did you draft your kicker and defense first???
It was a rough year for arc.  
Keith : 7/7/2017 11:57 am : link
He tried to corner the "holders" market. It didn't work out too well.
.  
arcarsenal : 7/7/2017 11:58 am : link
Hey, in my defense... Schaub led the league in pass yards a year or two before that. So it sounds way worse in retrospect.

I'm pretty sure I was way ahead of the curve taking a WR first (Andre Johnson) before it got all trendy.. but of course he got hurt that year, so..

I also had the waiver pickup of the year when I nabbed Cruz. But unfortunately it didn't put any W's in the column.
.  
arcarsenal : 7/7/2017 11:59 am : link
I also think I drafted Blount after his impressive rookie campaign in TB and he was fairly disappointing in year two. So that also made matters worse.

T-Bone : 7/7/2017 12:06 pm : link
If I remember correctly (and keep in mind my memory sucks), arc really didn't have a bad looking team at first. He just suffered a lot of injuries and guys not playing up to what was expected of them. Pretty much just had the worst luck I'd ever seen in a league before.

Still... never had seen 0-13 before... and still haven't since... lol

Yup, hoya is the dude you're looking for.

arcarsenal : 7/7/2017 12:25 pm : link
And yeah - my draft really wasn't THAT bad if you consider when it was. James Starks really emerged towards the end of 2010 through the GB SB run and looked like he could be a guy who followed up with a strong soph season, Blount was coming off a solid rookie year, Gore was a good pick at that time, Julio was a bargain, Andre was probably considered the best WR in football at the time.. AND I scooped Cruz in what turned out to be the breakout campaign we all remember.

Injuries and bad luck really killed me more than my own ineptitude.

Still. 0-13 seems nearly impossible and yet, I accomplished it!

you could make it even more of a challenge and spend all of your draft picks on retired kickers... then after the draft drop them all and pickup a roster full of free agents and see if you can win that way.

I can do that  
pjcas18 : 7/7/2017 2:32 pm : link
but that's crazy.

T-Bone is a waiver wire snake. Last year of the league (only year?) T-Bone had 57 moves. 2nd most was Cromartieskid21 with 27 and 3rd was Jon in NYC with 24.

Those three did come in the top 3 spots so maybe they're on to something.

dep and pete had the fewest moves with 7 each.

Pete did sneak into the playoffs, but with only 20 more points for than me and I came in 8th. one of the sometimes good sometimes bad things about h2h, there is a lot of luck in who you play week to week.

it's not just about having the best team since it's record based.

I tend to make a ton of moves as well

I've used excel/minitab to randomly select the draft order for new leagues in the past and it worked out well.
I'm not sure why the system keeps signing multiple teams  
Keith : 7/8/2017 8:38 am : link
under the same manager. T-Bone, still waiting on you.

I believe Yahoo allows for a random draft order selection.
You can also use fftoolbox  
YAJ2112 : 7/8/2017 8:58 am : link
Just put in everyone's email in that and it autogenerates a draft order and emails it to the whole league.
I haven't used yahoo in years  
bigbluehoya : 7/8/2017 9:02 am : link
But I thought if you relied on the system to generate a random draft order, it didn't do it until a few minutes prior to the draft.

I can go with the flow, but I always think it's fun to know your draft spot a few weeks ahead to start thinking about how things could play out for you.
Ive used fftoolbox in the past. If Yahoo doesn't do it  
Keith : 7/8/2017 9:18 am : link
asap, we will use them. I def want to do the order sooner rather than later. Once we all agree on the rules and stuff, we will do the order.
Cool, should be fun.  
bigbluehoya : 7/8/2017 9:27 am : link
I was a little jammed up at work yesterday and didn't read the whole thread, but I thought I saw some mention of putting some friendship points on the line.

arcarsenal : 7/8/2017 12:01 pm : link
You can randomize the order in Yahoo well before the draft - I've done it a bunch of times. You just need all of the teams signed up and the league "finalized" first, and then it will let you do it.

Yes, or Keith can randomly select somehow and then he can SET the draft order himself.

So is there an existing set of  
bigbluehoya : 7/10/2017 8:39 am : link
Scoring/roster settings that is being carried over from the previous iterations of this league, or are those yet to be discussed?
Yeah,  
Keith : 7/10/2017 8:41 am : link
I put in the same system(I lowered the points for kickers a little). However, everything is open for discussion.
Couple of thoughts on the settings  
YAJ2112 : 7/10/2017 8:57 am : link
Can we make the Playoff Tiebreaker total points and not head to head? Total points is more indicative of who has the better team than who won a random matchup.

I think the missed kick points are way too punitive. Kickers are already annoying enough without having to worry about losing a game because your idiot kicker got liquored up and shanked an XP. Something like -1 for misses under 40/XPs should be more than sufficient.
YAJ  
Keith : 7/10/2017 9:19 am : link
The settings are for playoff tie breakers. Not getting to the playoffs(we can't control this), but ties in the playoffs. The 2 options are "Higher seed wins" or "Head to Head".

Regarding kickers, we can certainly discuss that once we get the draft and other small details squared away. Still waiting on a few guys to respond regarding the draft.
ah... in that case  
YAJ2112 : 7/10/2017 10:27 am : link
can we make it Higher Seed and not H2H?
Possibly.  
Keith : 7/10/2017 10:34 am : link
Personally, I'd rather H2H, but we can vote on that later on. Lets get these other schlubs to confirm the draft first.
I am in whenever for a draft.

Sorry fellas! Been a pretty busy day today and to be honest, I kind of forgot about this post. My bad.

As far as the draft, I'm good with any date (I believe) but if it's going to be during the week if we could make it any time after 8 (7:30 at the earliest) because I'm usually traveling home between 5:30-7:30ish. But if that doesn't work for any one else I'll be ok and will adjust.

You're in there T-Bone though you haven't renamed your team to T-Bone's army yet. Someone else left, jlukes?

And Mike in STL doesn't want to be in another $$ league.

So I guess we need another team (or jlukes to rejoin) and to figure out if Mike in STL is in and it's free or we get a replacement.

I'm cool with whatever the majority decide decide, but prefer a money league, even if it's just $25.
We aren't playing for money.

Attention and effort are going to be substantially better across the board with even a nominal amount of friendship points at risk.

Well as long as you are entertained... that is all that matters.

This actually reminded me about a BBI league that I was in a few years ago. Someone with the ID "Aaron Ross 31" (or something like that) was the commish. He was proposing trades and when nobody was accepting them, he used his commish override to switch the players on the teams. Never saw anything like it before. Eventually everyone just dropped every player on their rosters except for him and he actually picked up those top players, added them to his lineup and played against ghost teams all the way to the championship.
I vaguely remember that story.

There was a guy that would rip people off on bbi too. He'd start a league like this, he'd collect and then he'd go MIA. I forget his name. I think it was Eric something. Last name started with a J. Wait.....

I got your back. I told him that it was uncalled for and asked him to retract it. He did, but then he went on some rant about hoya and how hoya doesn't even deserve to be in teh same league as him.



so funny... I actually spit my coffee out on that one too. I Never heard of Hoya until the league. LOL

Soon you're gonna wish you never did hear about hoya.
