I don\'t want to kick theomen out of the limelight but I was wondering if everyone would be comfortable if I was the commisioner next year. Last year there were a few skirmishes regarding some things theomen did, and I\'m not holding that against him, it\'s just I\'m really interested in being the commisioner this year.
It\'s your call
-
I\'m in considering I got booted cuz I couldn\'t make the live draft, that my friend was bullshit
-
Yeah... I know it\'s early, but if you think about it football is just around the corner.
-
I handed the raines over to Shox, if I remember correctly.
-
Ah yes, I remember that too. Heck, thats more than fine with me. Shock = the man.
-
I don\'t care who is the commish as long as he/she doesn\'t cheat.
-
I can commish if people want. I do that with leagues every year, and I\'m always fair, don\'t worry. Also, since we were gonna do a keeper league, I saved the rosters from last years\' teams to my computer. We should prolly finalize how many players people can keep. I forget what it was we were leaning towards last year...was it like 1 QB, 1RB, 1 WR, and 2 other players or something? Or 3 others? I forget.

Last year\'s rosters:
Theomen (http://www.shockwaves.34sp.com/omen.htm)
LUKE (http://www.shockwaves.34sp.com/luke.htm)
Cloud (http://www.shockwaves.34sp.com/cloud.htm)
Vid (http://www.shockwaves.34sp.com/vid.htm)
shock (http://www.shockwaves.34sp.com/shock.htm)
Jamas (http://www.shockwaves.34sp.com/jamas.htm)
Swifdi (http://www.shockwaves.34sp.com/vapor.htm)
49Raiders (http://www.shockwaves.34sp.com/49raiders.htm)
Gohan (http://www.shockwaves.34sp.com/gohan.htm)
Luckee (http://www.shockwaves.34sp.com/luckee.htm)
These are also last year\'s standings, so the draft would be in reverse order of this. Also, from my understanding, we need someone to at least take luckee\'s place, since he didn\'t pay attention to his team.
-
Sweet, I\'m already wetting my pants in anticipation.
Man my team sucked, I was starting Dee Brown? Wow.
-
We are keeping 5 players, right?
So are we going to make it easy and make the first 5 rounds our keepers and then the 6th round will be the new picks?
By the way, because this is a keeper league. Absolutely everyone HAS to be at the draft. The computer won\'t know to pick your old team.
Well I guess you could do your draft order with your 5 picks being the your 5 keepers and the comp SHOULD pick them, but you never know.
-
Im keeping buc d, rich gannon, peist homles, Randy moss and Jerry Rice, unless we arent keeping 5.
-
Priest Holmes told me he wanted to be traded to Team Cocky.
Something about wanting to play for a real team.
-
If we\'re doing the keeper thing then...
I keep:
1) Corey Dillon
2) Charlie Garner
3) Drew Bledsoe
4) Kevan Barlow
5) Derrick Mason
-
the draft should be done in a chat room, or on this board, and just have Shox assign the rosters. That\'s how most keeper leagues are done.
-
well I want in I\'ll take luckees team **** I\'ll request off work just to get in
-
if we go with 5 keepers here\'s my team;
Vick
R.Williams
T. Owens
Ward
S. Alexander
if we go 6 then I\'d add Tory Holt
-
The only thing about doing it in a chat room is it is so much easier with Yahoo\'s draft system since you are able to see who is left. It\'s a pain to have to cross people off of a big list manually.
If we all are going to be together anyway, then why can\'t we just make the first 5 rounds the keeper rounds and round 6 we rock and roll with the new picks.
My keepers (subject to change):
Donovan McNabb
Brad Johnson
Ahman Green
Rest of my team blows.
Maybe
Eric Moulds and Antowain Smith
-
I\'d prolly keep Faulk, Martin, Smith, Gonzo, and Keyshawn, but that might change.
-
i forget who i had other than L.T. and deuce mcallister.
-
Did we say any Five or 1 QB, 1 RB, 1 WR and 2 extras.
-
Luke: There\'s links to the rosters earlier in the thread
Vid: I have no idea. Maybe we should just forget what we did said, and try to figure out from here what the best thing to do would be.
Personally, I\'d like 6 keepers. But that\'s prolly based more on what would be good for my team than what would be good for the league. What do other people think?
-
5 is plenty. really it should only be like 3 or 4 to be fair to the crappy teams. But it\'s up to you. You be the bossman.
-
I really don\'t care, so I\'d like some input I guess. I\'d be happy with anything from 1 to 6 keepers.
-
I\'m for 6 keepers; and I had a crappy team!
-
I like 6 keepers. That way the good teams aren\'t completly disbanded, and it leaves lot\'s of good players in the free agency. Example, I\'ll be giving up Brett Favre, Chad Pennington, William Green (who was blowing up at the end of the season) at other quality role players.

Try again. I was very much paying attention. Ask anyone that I traded with..even towards the end. I just wasn\'t playing competitively since it didnt make a difference.
PS...I want in this year too.
-
Then make sure you do play competitively. Not doing so unbalances the league and causes problems. If you can do that, then you\'re welcome in the league.
-
anyone interested in 2 leagues? One would be our Keeper league, the other would be a new one that could be run by Vapor. This way we could let in the football fans that missed out last year, IE Hurricane.
-
I might be up for that, but I\'m not sure yet.
Also, remember, there could be open spots in this league if people from last year don\'t show up again. For example, I still don\'t know who 49Radiers was on the boards, but he said he doesn\'t come to the boards much. Hurricane might be able to take his place if he doesn\'t show up.
-
that would work, forgot about that team.

It messed nothing up last year........ try again.
You\'re ****in welcome to my spot if you want to continue to speak about what you dont know.
-
luckee...God, don\'t get offended. I\'m just saying when you stop trying that isn\'t what we want in the league. Just try to win your games and everything in fine.
-
I want in. So if there is going to be a 2nd league let me know....
-
Alright, I\'m totally cool for commishing the second league. We\'ll have a keeper and non-keeper league then. Sounds sweet.
-
Great. Just let me know when the draft is going to be...
-
Actually Luckee, to throw fuel to the fire.
Your totally bogus trade to TheOmen is what caused the mess to begin with. He traded you crap for good players. It was a ridiculous trade and left Omen\'s team unbeatable.
Now with 6 keepers he still has his team. I\'m just jealous because I have to stretch it to even think of 4 players I want to keep from my team. hehehe
PS: I\'ll be more than happy to be in a second league if Vapor wants to run one.
-
Cool. Well we have maybe a whole two months before any of this is actually placed into action. I think we should just see how the offseason goes and watch players get hurt/signed/released etc.
-
I say that we keep 3-4 players from the teams. Most of the good teams had 3-4 money makers that kept them competitive. 5+ is overkill.
Shouldn\'t the people that we are keeping be secret? That way when the draft comes around it becomes a lot more exciting to scramble and see if you can get that WR or RB that you didn\'t expect so-and-so to drop.
BTW, How about moving the league to NFL.com? or at least making the new league at NFL.com their Fantasy Leagues are SO much better. Why am I the only one that sees that? lol
-
I dunno... I like Yahoo a lot, and don\'t see anything wrong with it.
Plus, StatTracker is cheap, and it rules.
-
I thought Yahoo with stat tracker rocked. And I of course agree with gohan that keeping 5+ people is overkill.
Dangit, I may have to get the NFL Sunday Ticket now.
-
What if we set the keeper number at 3? That\'s sorta in the middle. Does that work for people?
-
i only have 3 people I want to keep anyway. I was going to keep 2 more just for the hell of it, but I don\'t care about them at all.
So in answer to your question, 3 is plenty for me.
-
i\'d like to be in the second new league this season, so sign me up.
-
I\'m all over it, but I\'d love for there to be some cizash involved.
-
I\'d be in for a second league if it\'s run a little differently. Maybe an auction league? You can do those on fanball. If you like yahoo so much, we could even just use fanball for an auction style draft and then enter the teams into a yahoo league.
-
how does an auction league work? Is that where you have so much cash to build a team with so you have to use it accordingly?
-
3? That\'s a little low, the teams that were bad would actually have an advantage. Vapor would probably dominate the league (he has 2 first rounders)
-

You have like $200 to spend on a certain number of players, so you bid accordingly to try to get the best team with your money. There are like 10 rounds, with some of the players randomly being in each round. It\'s an interesting system. I\'ve tried it the last two years.

I also posted not once but TWICE that I was having a fire sale and if ANYONE wanted ANY player, to just hit me up.
Luke wanted one and Omen wanted a few others.
Not once did anyone else open their mouths.
-
Either way, you aren\'t supposed to do that. It does and did harm the league.
-
I say we keep 4 people, but if 3 im definetly keeping preist, bucs D and gannon, if 4 then I wuld add rice
-
-edit..**** it..I dont care, Im out.
-
I still don\'t like keeping only 3, most leagues keep 4 or 5. But what ever people decide on is fine by me.
-
im in this year
-
Stick to 3 people... The point of it is to benefit those that got owned last year.
I smell a poll comin up
-
I\'m just saying that if we only have three keepers, my team is desimated. I mean the reason you have a keeper league is so that you can build your team up over the years, not tear it down. But if we do decide to go with only three I\'ll still be active, but will probably be the worst team in the league.
-
Cry me a river! You didn\'t start the season 0-8!
-
theomen: When you have Vick, Ricky Williams, and Terrell Owens to keep, you won\'t suck. Trust me.
The problem with keeping more people is that it makes it hard for bad teams to get good again. And remember, there are a lot of picks that will come later in the draft and end up being great picks. Where were people like Travis Henry, Duece McAllister, Hines Ward, Peerless Price, etc. picked last year?
-
Ok, make sure to check the new signup thread I made regarding my non-keeper league. First 12 are in, with some exceptions and regulations.
-
I wouldn\'t count on Priest Holmes being a sure thing like last season. Its possible; but I wouldn\'t bank on it. He has the same injury that ruined Bo Jackson\'s career.
