Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: SwifDi on July 07, 2002, 06:47:42 PM: Anyone die hard Fantasy Football fans? I\'ve been doing it for the last 4 years and I just enjoy it more and more. Me and 5 other friends are huge football fans and we always get a league going, and we just finished our draft a few days ago and I\'m just waiting for opening day (MY NINERS TAKE ON THE G-MEN!!). Well, one friend is so psyched that he made everyone team photos (Hey, its summer...and he\'s a loser). And I can talk football for days, especially fantasy football. I got the first round pick and had the nuts to pick Warner over Faulk, since I just have a gut feeling that Faulk will get injured this year, so, uh, right....

(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.someplacesomewhere.com%2Fuploaded%2FVapor%2520Snake%2FShininNiners2003FantasyFootballRoster.jpg&hash=32d005280b1d0af4cc571ea26a2d062972e5cd59)

The only error is that I don\'t have Shaun Alexander, it\'s actually Darrell Jackson (Both on the Seahawks, but Jackson\'s a WR), I guess my friend hadn\'t taken his Flintstone vitamins yet....

Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: SwifDi on July 07, 2002, 06:54:33 PM: Ah, thanks. However my arch-nemesis, and the 2001-2002 champion (I got second last year), has a promising team as well. He has Faulk, Culpepper, Alexander, Moss, Green (Ahman), and Gonzalez for instance. But yes, this year I think I will reclaim my throne.

Post by: theomen on July 07, 2002, 07:06:31 PM: I\'m starting a PSX2Central league, so i need to know, do we want a live draft, or an auto draft? Also who wants in.
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: SwifDi on July 07, 2002, 07:08:27 PM: I\'m definately in, and I vote for live draft as long as its after July 13th, cuz\' I won\'t be on till then. :D
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: theomen on July 07, 2002, 07:11:10 PM: so one vote for live, and i imagine it would deffinetly be after 7-13
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: Fayded on July 07, 2002, 07:19:57 PM: Live.
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: videoholic on July 08, 2002, 01:30:55 AM: Live Draft, but don\'t do the draft till the third week of preseason. Who in the hell drafts now? Half those people could get injured 1st week of TC. Plus you picked just about everyone in the league. Are you playing against anyone Vapor? Are there any other players to pick?
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: theomen on July 08, 2002, 02:06:31 AM: i think he\'s in a 6 team league

anyone have a preference to what place we go with for the league, sportsline, nfl.com, yahoo etc...

Post by: Esco on July 08, 2002, 03:55:27 AM: GO COWBOYS YEE HAW!!!! BANG BANG!!!!!
I am IN!
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: luckee on July 08, 2002, 04:32:37 AM: I have always played the yahoo one. Thats my vote. The draft doesnt necessarily have to be live..but im sure ill be over voted.
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: Fayded on July 08, 2002, 07:14:06 AM: Oh yeah, don\'t make it on a Tuesday night. I can\'t get on then.

i\'ll do it!!!
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: SwifDi on July 08, 2002, 08:22:23 AM: Yeah Vid, i\'m in a 6-player league, with 26 players per team so go figure, we take alot of guys :D . And the 26th player not featured is my defense which is Green Bay.
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: Black Samurai on July 08, 2002, 08:44:16 AM: I vote for Live Draft depending on when you do it.

I also vote that we do it at NFL.com thats where I\'ve been playing for years. Plus they update the stats faster than anyone else.
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: luckee on July 08, 2002, 09:23:49 AM: The nfl.com one isnt free though.
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: Mapto on July 08, 2002, 11:45:50 AM: i say we do a yahoo n a live draft
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: luckee on July 08, 2002, 12:16:14 PM: The yahoo one wont even let you sign up for a while to come no?
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: theomen on July 08, 2002, 02:37:30 PM: on yahoo you have to wait until the preseason, i think. NFL.com is cost\'n mulah this year, sportsline, and sandbox are still free i think.
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: SwifDi on July 08, 2002, 02:39:03 PM: Yeah, I use Yahoo as well. They have a nice setup there, and it is free. Last year sign-ups didn\'t start till early August though, perhaps we can wait? Sportsline and Sandbox aren\'t bad either.
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: theomen on July 08, 2002, 03:04:20 PM: any1 know of a free place that has signups starting already? that way we can get the league all setup.
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: videoholic on July 08, 2002, 03:19:25 PM: Live is the best. When you don\'t pick your team you end up with people you probably never watch and it just isn\'t as much fun. Live takes quite a while though so don\'t make it too late for us East Coasters.
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: SwifDi on July 08, 2002, 03:37:50 PM: How will draft order be determined? I personally think theomen and i get the top 2 picks... ;)
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: theomen on July 08, 2002, 03:38:31 PM: I love live drafts too, also because you can make draft deals and trades. it gives you the feeling like your in the war room.

my prob is i can\'t find a free FF that will let me create a league this early.
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: theomen on July 08, 2002, 03:39:20 PM: it\'s usually just by luck
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: videoholic on July 08, 2002, 03:55:19 PM: You don\'t need to create it this early anyway. We\'ll get her done... We don\'t need to do the draft for quite a while anyway.
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: SwifDi on July 08, 2002, 07:45:16 PM: But we must determine the draft order. And I agree with Vid that we should play with ourselves till\' August, and wait for the Yahoo one.
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: Fayded on July 08, 2002, 07:50:05 PM: We don\'t have to determine the draft order. Isn\'t there a way to make it random?

So play madden untill then..the season doesnt start for a while..so quit yer biatchin\' ;)

Don\'t worry guys..I was gonna create a league in yahoo anyway. Im still tossed up about live or auto draft. I dont care either way. I like auto b/c you get most of who you pick, plus it makes things much more interesting. Too many people will miss out on the live draft.

I never once said I was going to play with myself till August....

I\'d go blind.
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: theomen on July 09, 2002, 02:37:35 AM: but you also didn\'t say anything about me not playing with myself till august. so let the games begin!
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~

Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: shockwaves on July 09, 2002, 03:21:04 PM: So I don\'t have to read the whole thread (yeah, I\'m lazy), is the league set up yet, or are we just planning? If it isn\'t set up, do we know where it will be done?
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: theomen on July 09, 2002, 03:23:35 PM: planning, it\'s looking like yahoo or sandbox are the best choices, with yahoo in the lead. Once Yahoo let\'s me sign up the league everyone can join. But the draft will be during the preseason.
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: shockwaves on July 09, 2002, 03:26:08 PM: God, take my advice...

DO NOT USE SANDBOX!
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: luckee on July 09, 2002, 03:56:15 PM: yea..I was just gonna stick to yahoo. So omen...who\'s gonna do this when avail. you or I?
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: shockwaves on July 09, 2002, 03:59:58 PM: Well, if you still need more people, I\'m sure ROL Jamas would be glad to join. He just hasn\'t been here recently enough to see the thread yet.
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: theomen on July 09, 2002, 04:05:06 PM: whoever get\'s to it first, just keep an eye open to yahoo, and when it\'s available someone setup a league. Just be sure to notify me if you set it up, that way we don\'t have two.

or if we have enough people, we could setup two, one live draft one auto.
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: luckee on July 09, 2002, 04:10:46 PM: sounds good.
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: ROL Jamas on July 09, 2002, 10:39:42 PM: Yes, Yahoo all the way. And yes, I do want in, thank you Tony :)

See Yuz.
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: videoholic on July 10, 2002, 01:54:44 AM: The one I did last year was nfl.com. It was great. It had live stats where you can see scoring updates instantly on your team against the team you were playing. I didn\'t pay anything.

http://fantasy.nfl.com/
Title: ~Fantasy Football 2002-2003~
Post by: luckee on July 10, 2002, 03:22:27 AM: I checked nfl.com out yesterday..the cheapest one was like $19.95
