Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: shockwaves on July 07, 2004, 02:10:12 PM
Fantasy football is up again, so for those who were in the keeper league last year, I set up this year\'s league.  Those people were TheOmen, SwifDi, ROL Jamas, Black Samauri, LUKE, JBean, Videoholic, and myself.

It\'s being done through yahoo once again.  The information for it is below:

League ID#: 18641
password: clyde

I\'ll put last year\'s rosters and any other information online later tonight.  Hope to see you all there.

Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: ROL Jamas on July 07, 2004, 05:52:50 PM
McNabb, Holt, Ahman for you Vid....not THAT bad.

And, with the first pick, you\'ll be lookin\' alright going into this year. Now, what I\'m wondering is...how in the HELL did Tony manage to land the 2nd pick? Obviously this is rigged somehow ;)

Harrison, Alexander, Portis for me...fear :)

See Yuz.
Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: JBean on July 07, 2004, 05:53:39 PM
ah hell yeah... Holmes, Moss, Davis.  Every team has at least 3 studs... except maybe black samurai.  ;)

LMAO, I was thinking the SAME thing when I read your post.

How the hell did I not get the first or second pick? My team sucked sour gorilla balls.
Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: shockwaves on July 07, 2004, 10:56:00 PM
Just to make this obvious:
For now, only teams that were in the league last year can join.  Otherwise I\'ll kick you out until things get settled.

Post by: SwifDi on July 07, 2004, 11:12:39 PM
Well Yahoo! is being gay and not letting me in the league...

Quote

There was a problem:
• This league is not registered in this game. (Error #272)
• This league is from the free game. (Error #271)


I\'ll try again tomorrow...

As for my keepers:

Daunte Culpepper
Jamal Lewis
Corey Dillon

Di, make sure you\'re signing up to join a free league, not a fantasy football plus league.
Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: JBean on July 08, 2004, 04:48:06 AM
yeah it defaults you to the pay to play league, not the free one.

If any spots open up in the keeper league let me know. I\'d be interested to join and would take whatever players remaining from the owner that left. If not I\'ll just join the non keeper league whenever that is up
Title: Fantasy Football

Yeah, and I\'m gonna put in a good word for CJ, he seems pretty interested in getting his ass kicked in some fantasy football ;) .

Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: shockwaves on July 08, 2004, 09:15:42 PM
Well, I think since it is a keeper league, we should give spots first to the members who have been around for a while and thus would be the most likely to be here for coming years.  I\'d prolly say Jar Of Pickles would get the first spot open.
Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: JBean on July 09, 2004, 04:54:36 AM
we gotta make sure everybody pre-ranks their keepers in case they can\'t make it to the draft.  I remember how jacked up it was last year when someone didn\'t do it.
Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: videoholic on July 09, 2004, 05:30:40 AM
Yeah, and pickle boy needs a good spankin.
Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: shockwaves on July 09, 2004, 08:22:40 AM
definitely.  I wanna make sure that happens well in advance of the draft this year.

the keeper thing that is, not the spanking :p
Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: Black Samurai on July 09, 2004, 09:36:32 AM
Seriously though. What\'s up with the draft order.
Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: videoholic on July 09, 2004, 09:46:14 AM
The draft order rocks.

If pickle boy wants in, why don\'t we just expand to 10 teams?

They can\'t draft any of the three people we choose obviously.
Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: shockwaves on July 09, 2004, 12:02:41 PM
The Draft order is the reverse order of the final standings from last year.

Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: SwifDi on July 09, 2004, 11:49:30 PM

Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: ROL Jamas on July 13, 2004, 02:56:07 PM
You were kicked out because

1. You\'re not one of the original 7 that\'s back in (there\'s 8 spots), and...
2. Jar o\' Pickels called Omen\'s spot before you did

Sorry dude, fair is fair. You can still do the non-keeper, though.

See Yuz.

Post by: shockwaves on July 13, 2004, 10:02:59 PM

Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: shockwaves on July 14, 2004, 01:04:18 AM
It doesn\'t exactly do any harm, and it has certainly helped.  It\'s gotten a lot more attention from the people it\'s aimed at this way, plus there will be a non keeper league formed.
Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: shockwaves on July 23, 2004, 09:06:21 PM
A few things.

First of all, could people post when they can make the draft?  Does the time currently set work, or should I move it?

Secondly, could everyone prerank your 3 keepers from last year on yahoo, then post them here once you\'ve done so.  You can change them if you want, but I\'d want to make sure everyone preranks so it goes smoothly, and we know who the keepers are to look for from your team when draft time comes, just to make sure.

My keepers as of right now will be Faulk, Taylor, and Gonzalez.
Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: ROL Jamas on July 24, 2004, 02:48:28 PM
I haven\'t preranked, but my keepers will be...

Marvin Harrison, Shaun Alexander, and Clinton Portis.

Pretty clear cut, really. I\'ll prerank them tonight.

See Yuz.
Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: Luke on July 24, 2004, 03:41:05 PM
My keepers are...


D. Mcallister

HOLY SHIT!


Didn\'t see that coming.


I think ol\' Ricky is a little crazier than everyone thought.


Lemme just go on record here that I really think he\'s not gonna go through with this.



He\'s an awesome player, but he\'s also a sissy and can\'t handle the spotlight of the NFL. He\'s acted like a baby his entire career.

Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: shockwaves on August 18, 2004, 09:44:58 AM
Basically you draft a team of players, and whichever person\'s team puts up the best stats wins.  Pretty simple.


The draft is this weekend, so I want to make sure everyone is ready.


EVERYONE PRERANK YOUR 3 KEEPERS AS YOUR TOP 3 DRAFT  PICKS

Post back here after you have, or if you need help doing so.
Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: SwifDi on August 18, 2004, 12:40:02 PM
Well damnit... I won\'t be able to make the draft because I\'ll be at my mandatory Freshman Orientation... which is Saturday from 1-5 p.m. ET

I already pre-ranked my top three guys... hopefully Yahoo! doesn\'t bone me too hard after that.

I won\'t be there.  Have to work.

Here are my three and they are preranked.


1. T. Holt
2. D. McNabb
3. H. Ward
Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: shockwaves on August 21, 2004, 08:07:10 AM
So there are the keepers I have so far:

Me: Faulk, Taylor, Gonzalez
Vid: Holt, McNabb, Ward
Jar O Pickles: Edge, Owens, Vick
Luke: Manning, McAllister, Tomlinson
James: Portis, Harrison, Alexander
JBean: Barlow, Moss, Holmes
Di: Culpepper, Lewis, Dillon
Black Sammy: Still need players
Title: Fantasy Football

Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: Black Samurai on August 21, 2004, 11:12:10 AM
lol, oops.

Let me know who I need to trade with.

BTW, I want the Pats Defense back if I don\'t already have it.
Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: shockwaves on August 21, 2004, 11:46:27 AM
What\'s happening with Black Sammy:

Your keepers were chosen on the spot, as Boldin, Tampa Bay, and Chambers.

Accept the following trades when they happen: Tampa for Portis, Chambers for Tomlinson, and Boldin for Ward.

Sorry you didn\'t get the Pats D, we had to make a decision on the fly.
Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: shockwaves on August 21, 2004, 11:49:45 AM
Trading:

I\'m looking to upgrade my starting WR\'s (especially the #3 one),  and RB\'s.  I have TONS of depth at each, if anyone is interested, let me know.

It\'s not bullshit Sammy, what is bullshit is that you had over a month, and in all that time you couldn\'t take 5 mins out of your time to prerank like everyone else did, especially since this is the second year in a row you\'ve done that.  So live with it.
Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: Deadly Hamster on August 22, 2004, 02:23:14 PM
On a much happier joyful note:

Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: videoholic on August 22, 2004, 06:28:21 PM
What\'s the deal?  WHen am I going to get Ward??????

Why do you have such a long approval process on these trades?

I\'m not wheeling and dealing anything until I get Ward.
Title: Fantasy Football
Post by: shockwaves on August 23, 2004, 08:15:12 AM
The trade reject time is on only one day.  It SHOULD be through already, but yahoo is being slow for some reason and it isn\'t.

After our trade goes through, you trade Boldin for Ward.

I can\'t push it through because Yahoo was dumb this year and made it an either or thing...either the entire league can vote against trades or only the commish can do things.  I put it as the entire league, which is what it defaults to anyway, so I can\'t push things through.

So I have one of the best defenses in the league but you give me the average one. I have the QB of the most prolific Offense in the league and you give me a WR that is hurt for 13 weeks. That is bullshit regardless of whether or not I pre-ranked shit.

Well BS, we had approximatley 3 minutes to decide your keepers for you for each pick, since we had to do it ON THE FLY.

Compare our 3 minutes tops, to your MONTH.

Post by: shockwaves on August 24, 2004, 09:18:55 AM
Try two minutes, and half of that was spent looking your shit up.  Hell, had you even posted here who you wanted to keep, you would have gotten those players.  You didn\'t that.  Not after weeks of me telling everyone to, multiple PM\'s and all of that.  You have what you have, we did what we could.
