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...

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?

in order of standings and Arc was 0 - 13 (had to add that, LOL).
Osi, jlukes, Mike....anyone want in? Once we get an answer from those guys, we will know how many spots to fill.
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.

we need 4 more. Jon in NYC, Osi, you guys want in?
I haven't seen Fred, Pete, Mike or Nasif around much.

Matt fuckin' Schaub was my QB. :(
Did you draft your kicker and defense first???
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.
(Hou - WR)

3. (33) LeGarrette Blount

4. (40) Matt Schaub

5. (57) Julio Jones
(Atl - WR)
6. (64) Jason Witten

8. (88) Mike Sims-Walker

9. (105) James Starks

10. (112) Joe Flacco

11. (129) James Jones

12. (136) Chicago

3 more spots. Osi, Jon in NYC, Pete or Fred?
Injuries and bad luck really killed me more than my own ineptitude.
Still. 0-13 seems nearly impossible and yet, I accomplished it!
1 PPR
A-ha!
I was like.. who the hell is this guy?
I was in Sin's baseball league then he abandoned it and weatherman took over then weatherman bailed and it fell apart (and the entry fee was unilaterally removed by WM and that made people lost interest)
Thanks
I have to give the last owners the first right of refusal. If they don't respond, we can fill it in with you guys. We currently have 9, waiting on a response from Osi and Jon. Havent seen Pete or Fred so we can assume they are out.
Oh hell no!
Oh jeez, look out for this fuckin' guy....
only if he takes Eli as his QB with his first round selection.
Are you using Yahoo, ESPN, ??

save my time and effort for the harder leagues I'm in.

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.

Thanks Keith. I'll email Eric to change my handle back to leatherneck to avoid confusion and not because Ronnie hates it.
Anyone else want to 2nd YAJ?
Anyone else want to 2nd YAJ?
Sure, it doesn't matter whose friend points I take.
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.
We never had one in this league.
I don't feel strongly either way, but once we settle on the teams (and I'm find with yaj or whoever the final person is) maybe bring up things like this to league vote and majority rules?
As the great Marshawn Lynch once said 'I'm all bout dat action cuz.'.
I think your request might get... erased.

Again, it seems as though there is enough interest for another league if someone wants to get on that. Sorry if you didn't make it in the "A" league, but you are better off keeping your friend points.

I sent it to you earlier. Perhaps it was the cryptic subject line "leatherneck's email."?
No worries. I was beginning to worry I had somehow screwed up your email address.
Looks like he joined the league twice for some reason.
unless someone is playing a practical joke
muddy mudskippers? Looks like you have one team.
I am surprised that you did not call yourself the Firedogs
Thanks man.
How and when do we decide the draft order in this league?

Thanks man.

I've used excel/minitab to randomly select the draft order for new leagues in the past and it worked out well.
I believe Yahoo allows for a random draft order selection.
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.
I'm down for whatever.
Yes, or Keith can randomly select somehow and then he can SET the draft order himself.
message me if interested.
Either works for me but dep can only comment on the Yahoo message board unless he's reinstated so maybe use that?
I thought they disabled the yahoo message boards a while ago? Not unless you are talking about posting messages in the league.... that can still happen.
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.
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.
SAD!
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.

Yeah that falls in line with what's been scheduled. Lots being discussed over on the league message board. Come on over and chime in.
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 need 2 new managers now.
I won't back out if the group decides otherwise.

I don't feel like there's a must-own, runaway this year. I'd rather have a pick in the middle.
You've claimed that you are by far the smartest Fantasy Football manager ever. You've said that you can and will win regardless of where you draft. Now all of a sudden we should feel bad for you that you got the 10th pick??
I usually like being at the end turn, but the ~11-20 range seems super fungible this year.
Time to officially begin the research.
Thanks for doing the drawing, Keith (but really thanks for nothing!)

LOL... ok show me where I said any of that.
now you are really cracking me up. Nice try and kick starting some controversy. I actually don't think I have ever called anyone here on this site any names ever.
Whoa! That's fucked up, man!
Some people's kids...
so funny... I actually spit my coffee out on that one too. I Never heard of Hoya until the league. LOL
Can we at least talk about REAL trash talk that has occurred? Is it so lame in our league that we need to INVENT controversy?
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.
Are you sure about that?
Exactly
- dude with the #2 pick
