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?

Oh Yeah!

rangersfan(which one?)

who else confirmed?
The team names were:  
pjcas18 : 7/7/2017 11:41 am : link
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
on bbi!

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.

arcarsenal : 7/7/2017 11:49 am : link
(I'm obviously talking about rupees... 25 rupees. Not dollars. I am not referring to US currency.. duh)
I'm assuming that you are referring to 25 friend points  
Keith : 7/7/2017 11:49 am : link
and not dollars.

Did you really need to bold that, T-Bone?

Jeez. You guys are never going to let me live that down.

Matt fuckin' Schaub was my QB. :(
Um,  
Keith : 7/7/2017 11:53 am : link
did we give you Matt Schwab or did you choose him? You say that like it's not your fault!

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.
0-13

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
I'm here...

From the OP and I'm still interested

arcarsenal : 7/7/2017 12:20 pm : link
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!
was this the one run on CBS by SinCity? I was in that one

No.  
Keith : 7/7/2017 12:35 pm : link
Was that a football one? I remember sin used to run the NBA ones through CBS. This was Yahoo and I commissioned.
What type of league?  
Jonald : 7/7/2017 12:42 pm : link
PPR (full or 1/2 point) or standard?
Btw if you're wondering who the heck  
Jonald : 7/7/2017 12:46 pm : link
This guy is, I was Leatherneck570 in a previous life.
lol  
Keith : 7/7/2017 12:49 pm : link
I was def wondering. I cannot let anyone in that doesn't have a history on bbi and/or is active on bbi. Gotta hold people accountable to keep up with their teams. The public shame seems to work for most.

1 PPR

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)
I'm interested if you have an open spot and anyone before me  
Saos1n : 7/7/2017 12:52 pm : link
Doesn't take it

Thanks
Any special scoring or roster construction?  
Jonald : 7/7/2017 12:52 pm : link
If not, I'm interested. I use ESPN so Im used to format. What do you all use?
Nothing crazy. Last league was in 2011. I'll recreate with the same  
Keith : 7/7/2017 12:59 pm : link
rules and then we will discuss any necessary changes. qb, rb, rb, wr, wr, wr, te, flex, d, k

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.
I am also interested if you have a spot
