View Full Version : Fantasy Football League
Alright, Im looking for conclusive interest in a FF league this year. It will be on ESPN's site
Membership need not be restricted to TSP only. Any avid NFL fan can abide.
Ideally Id like 12 teams but if we can get 10 that will be sufficient.
Sound off if you are game in for a Canadian taking all you yanks down a peg in your national sport. We all know hockey would be no contest.
Alright the league is setup. PM me your email address and I will invite you to the league.

I'm in.
Shokar

Saleen messaged me. He's interested in playing. I told him to PM you Mutt.
Soushia

You know I am in...and I can bring Jay (my friend from CoE) who played in the league with us last year.
Live draft please!
caspdown

count me in
Silver
08-18-2009, 07:42 AM
I'm in.

I'm in
I don't play ESPN, sorry - I have like 7 years of stats and all my stuff I keep on track through yahoo....what prompted the change?
ESPN has alot more options like draft pick trading, free live scoring (or do you like paying 10 bucks for that feature?), etc.
Yahoo's time has come and gone Elad. Get on the new train.
Heres another wrinkle Id through out there. Whos interested in an auction draft instead of a snake draft? (another ESPN option that yahoo doesnt support)
That way everyone has an equal shot at every guy, not just the guy that randomly gets the first pick, etc
Silver
08-18-2009, 12:10 PM
I've never done an auction draft. I'm not opposed to it if that's what everyone else wants to do.
Alright the league is setup. PM me your email address and I will invite you to the league.
Shokar
08-18-2009, 06:24 PM
Yahoo is providing free live scoring this year.
Its Alright, Elad sent me his email address for the ESPN one. Well just use that as auction might be a route we want to look at.
Want me to just use your forum email shokar?
Konrad
08-18-2009, 07:36 PM
You can use my forum email as well.
Alright, invites sent to everyone in this thread.
4 spots remain. Soush you got the email for your bud?
Silver
08-18-2009, 08:19 PM
I'm set up.
Team Name, and Logo up and ready for ass kicking.

Silver thinks with his heart and gets pummeled every year~
Alright 2 spots left (1 if Soush bud joins)
Everyone who has posted in this thread (and Nadric from the other thread) has been invited.
Get joined up, check your emails for the invite.

I'd join but I'd lose. I'm a casual football watcher Mutt. Sorry bro.
Konrad
08-19-2009, 12:13 PM
You'd lose...and lose all your clothes, money, passport, dignity, and end up in a parking garage on the other side of town.
Shokar
08-19-2009, 12:14 PM
Yah, but he'd have one helluva story to tell his mates.
Konrad
08-19-2009, 03:08 PM
Hell, I have a helluva story to tell my friends...
Forgot Saleen was interested.
We have one spot left gents. Soush your bud last year was pretty active he'd make a good addition if no one steps up before the end of the day.
Konrad
08-19-2009, 03:37 PM
Does Saleen have access to the forums?
Does Saleen have access to the forums?The public one yea
Malik
08-19-2009, 04:28 PM
i am in, hopfully got last spot mutt let me know
Jaus we can always bump it to 14 if you want in.
ESPN also allows people to have two owners as well, so people can share if we want to stay at 12
Who hasnt recieved an email?
Shokar
08-19-2009, 06:06 PM
I'm not playing, Mutt. Not sure if you are counting me in that 12.
Malik
08-19-2009, 06:09 PM
Haven't looked yet mutt but I def want to play I love fantasy football and haven't got to whoop up on ginko yet
i just dont want to be an odd man out, so if someone else is interested to make 14 then i would say ok. dont know if i will have computer access for live draft is the only thing since im gone every 4 days.
last year sucked because i had a deployment but im not scheduled for one this year and the Chiefs will be an underdog this year and im gonna love playing the NFC East.
What about pairing you with Shokar like you guys tag team MMO accounts?
If someone hasnt joined by Friday I can shoot you over to an open team.
Right now I have the draft set as Aug 26, are you good that day?
Only Konrad, Elad and Silver have confirmed their invites. Nadric confirmed hes joining tonight when he gets home. Rest of you nancies need to be checkin your email soon.
Malik
08-19-2009, 07:07 PM
i am in and have set up my team, ready for draft day
just wondering if anyone else has experience with fantasy football, i know ginko does i got him into it, and im sure mutt does.
I think everyone that has signed up has played in past years.
Keirdan has confirmed his invitation
Soushia
08-19-2009, 07:56 PM
I registered
Soushia
08-19-2009, 07:57 PM
I will check if Jay got his invite. He is a very active FF player and a solid guy. But if he isn't in and registered then give it to someone here. Gimmie 8 hours to get him in or out.
I didnt send him an email as I didnt have his email Ill put him in if someone isnt registered like Jaus
Soushia
08-19-2009, 09:40 PM
I didnt send him an email as I didnt have his email Ill put him in if someone isnt registered like Jaus
Should be shadune@yahoo.com which would be the email addy he used for last years registration (I think).
Malik get Ginko to accept his team.
Soush, caspdown hasnt signed up yet. If hes not signed up by the end of today then Shadune can have that spot.
Jaus/Shokar, neither of you have accepted your invite. Get on it
Just got home, been celebrating all day since i made Staff Sergeant. Sorry for the inconvience
Good work jaus. Is that higher than SGT SLAUGHTER!?
Silver
08-21-2009, 09:20 AM
Good work jaus. Is that higher than SGT SLAUGHTER!?
I don't think so, but it is much better than a staff infection.
Those are staph infections. Aka cleveland browns disease.
Alright, Soush Saleen hasnt responded so Im going to make your bud the owner of that team. Thats the last outstanding spot. Have him confirm asap.
Do you want me to randomize the draft spots now so people can look at trading draft picks before the draft?
Silver
08-21-2009, 11:56 AM

Ahhh...
You are right my friend.
Silver
08-21-2009, 11:57 AM
Do you want me to randomize the draft spots now so people can look at trading draft picks before the draft?
Yes.
Alright, picks are randomized and set.
As well I forgot to ask, did everyone feel comfortable with PPR seeing how that seems to be the trend this year?
Thats fine, just FYI im going to have to prerank my drafts because i leave tuesday morning. So i wont be around for the draft.
I just picked wed night randomly. Ill move it to Monday for you Jaus.
As long as its during the week most people should be able to make it.
whatever is easiest for most people, works. i have some hidden picks inside my preranked already
Soushia
08-21-2009, 07:30 PM
I emailed Jay...he should confirm his team sometime tonight.
Soushia
08-22-2009, 12:29 PM
OK...Jay is in.
Now I have a request, can we change the date or time of the draft? You have it set during the Jets primetime ESPN Monday night game.
Without Brett the Jet they got no one.
You should just keep it on wednesday since everyone already had that planned.
Soushia
08-22-2009, 12:33 PM
Without Brett the Jet they got no one.
Bret = broken arm, over the hill, primodonna.
Sanchez = the real deal.
With a top 3 offensive line, a top 10 defense, and the #2 rushing tandem in the NFL all he has to do is not lose the games (i.e. Flacco last year).
GO JETS!
Soushia
08-22-2009, 12:33 PM
You should just keep it on wednesday since everyone already had that planned.
I would prefer that...I almost didn't notice the date had been changed.
Oh and btw im representing Captan Arnie to the finals
Soush Jaus cant make any other day except Monday or Sunday.
I can change it up to tomorrow if everyone is ok with that
Silver
08-22-2009, 02:35 PM
Sunday doesn't work for me unless it is before noon
Or I can make it later on Monday night.
The game starts at 8 EST and the first half should be over around 9:30 or 9:45 EST.
I can bump it back to 10 or 10:30 est if you want. By then the third team should have been no the field for significant time.
Sunday doesn't work for me unless it is before noon
Before noon est is going to be tough, so I think we are looking at monday.
Shokar
08-22-2009, 02:41 PM

If they flip it to Wednesday, I could do the live draft for you Jaus.
Soushia
08-22-2009, 03:19 PM
OK don't sweat it just keep it as it is.
Silver
08-22-2009, 05:01 PM
Well what is it?
Just make it Wednesday at 8:30 est like originally planned. More people will be able to make that time with less confusion.
Soushia
08-22-2009, 06:29 PM
Just make it Wednesday at 8:30 est like originally planned. More people will be able to make that time with less confusion.
Nah for me it is missing an hour of a pre-season game...for you it is missing the draft, and the draft is half the fun.
Besides I pick #3 so I can pick and then go watch another 20 minutes of the Jets!!!!!
I'll see you kids Monday night!
Ok it stands as Monday at 9:30 pm eastern
Silver
08-23-2009, 10:50 AM
Ok it stands as Monday at 9:30 pm eastern
Perfect
And remember its PPR! So each reception counts as 1 pt.
Shokar
08-23-2009, 03:09 PM
So, does that make Matt Forte the consensus #1 pick?
PPR really throws consensus out the window. MJD is up there as well as a Steven Jackson. Forte did have like 60 some receptions last year though.
Silver
08-23-2009, 03:52 PM
So, does that make Matt Forte the consensus #1 pick?
No, Walter Payton will always be #1
Silver
08-23-2009, 06:46 PM
I've been doing mock drafts all day to try to figure out trends. Think I have my strategy mapped out. So pumped for the draft.
5 bucks silver takes TO in the second

Is it all still standard scoring except for the PPR wrinkle?
And for the record I hate you all for abandoning the keeper leage from last year since my team was rockin!

Shokar

There's a link on the main page for the scoring criteria.

Mutt, where does it show the draft order?
Theres a link on the left of the main page:

Shokar
08-24-2009, 12:42 PM
on the league home page? i still don't see it, but your link works. thanks.
I don't even have a clue where to change team name. I've been team brooks now 2 yrs in a roW!!!
PS: tricky. homer pick to take Brees #1..however, other QBs have similar #s...but I'd have what, pick 24 after that? might not even be a decent QB.
Shokar
08-24-2009, 03:34 PM
Nah, Randy Moss #1 all the way. It worked before ... oh wait, nevermind.
Soushia

I picked #10 in my other league and actually took Brees since Fitzgerrald and all the top flight RB's were off the board.
Im idling in TSP vent predraft
I'm going out tonight..I'll have time for the first 3 rounds or something
Konrad
08-24-2009, 08:30 PM
Trying to get into vent...but can't get into any channels. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling; nothing is working. Any ideas?
change your user name konrad, its probably got an old password setup.
draft room is now open btw, you can access it from main league page.
Shokar
08-24-2009, 10:30 PM
How'd the draft go?
Konrad
08-24-2009, 10:57 PM
I got AP on the second pick...though I didn't really pick him.
Shokar
08-25-2009, 08:52 AM

You weren't kidding, were you?
Saleen
08-25-2009, 12:26 PM
I would be in... but i hate espn leagues... all my shit is saved to yahoo
btw sorry it took me a while to post
Saleen
08-25-2009, 12:28 PM
Oh, and for those interested im starting a fresh Head-to-Head Yahoo Keeper league.
12-team league and i still need 3/4 more managers who will be active and will play from year to year...
PM me or just say in here if your interested.

I'm down as long as it will last past this year unlike the last keeper league I was in.
Shokar
08-25-2009, 07:47 PM
Mutt, Konrad and Soush (team Williams?) had the best drafts, imo.
Saleen
08-25-2009, 08:41 PM
I'm down as long as it will last past this year unlike the last keeper league I was in.
yea... it should be no problem... its mostly a couple of my buddies and other managers from keeper leagues im in.
Shokar i know your in! <3
Shokar
08-25-2009, 09:43 PM
Nah, saleen. I'm taking a break from FF this year. I'll be back next year.
Already in 3-4 yahoo ones, and this espn one.
I think I'll do great in this format! barber and forte are going to get tons of pts, matt ryan is going to have a nice second year...braylon edwards might wake up? and cotchery is the #1...winslow's on a diff team..we'll see
winslow has caught 80 balls in the past and tampa bay is paying him big bucks.
He's athletic. He's a cocky guy though, not my favorite. Edwards went from 16 TDs in a row to 4-5
Saleen
08-25-2009, 11:02 PM
Nah, saleen. I'm taking a break from FF this year. I'll be back next year.
:puppy_dog

08-25-2009, 11:06 PM

I registered. If you end up short I am fairly sure I can get Jay (COE) to play as we are both in our NJO league and the TSP league.
Lemmie know.
Saleen
08-25-2009, 11:09 PM
ok cool
Konrad
08-26-2009, 11:31 PM
If you need another I will play.
Saleen
08-27-2009, 10:05 AM
If you need another I will play.
<3 was hoping you would join!
you has PM
Saleen

Lemmie know.
go ahead and give him the league info to join... seems like we are gonna be 1 short once konrad joins
Saleen
09-02-2009, 01:52 PM
Still have 2 spots open for 12-team keeper... let me know if interested.
(Konrad, Sign up!)
FYI: Downtown Toronto is a cluster...
Saleen
09-07-2009, 10:28 PM
Still need one more Yahoo keeper league manager.
Draft is Tue Sep 8 6:00pm PDT (tomorrow night)
Roster Positions: QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, W/R, W/R, K, D, D, D, D, DB, DB, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN
sorry to keep spamming this shit, its a bitch to get a league filled sometimes.
And id rather have it be taken/filled by someone from TSP than having to grab some random yahoo person.
Just gonna post the info so sign up if you would be interested:
Lebowski I (ID# 616326)
PW: 1234
This is why you dont join public leagues:
Konrad
10-13-2009, 11:32 PM
Sorry...I get really into my fantasies.
Shokar

That's good stuff, Mutt.
Noremac
10-14-2009, 08:29 AM
I like how he goes from "Please accept or reject the deal" to "Please accept".
Anyways this guy wigged out and dropped everyone on his team except for peyton and MJD. I scored dallas clark and reggie wayne out of his tantrum.
Shokar
10-14-2009, 01:49 PM
That's just wrong. What an idiot.
