So... game on? Same deal as last year? Live draft... PvP... ober gets stomped and robbed of the title at the end?
-
I'm in.

-
I need to know if we want to do a Live draft again. I thought that worked out well last year.
-
I'm in. Live draft was cool.
-
I'd like to play but I really don't know how it all works..
-
I'd like to do a live draft, but it's not a necessity. It's more fun that way, anyways.
stealth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasy_football_(American) - there are also all sorts of places to get info on the web. If you've got any specific questions, go ahead and ask.
Like I mentioned on cprog, I'm totally nerding out this year and compiling a bunch of last year's stats for some ease of scouting. I'll post it when I'm done.
Finally, the first regular season game is September 7th, so we can use that to plan our draft time.
-
hmm..seems a bit complicated..
-
Is it too late to join up?
-
I just made the thread yesterday ;) I'll probably wait at least a week to make the league on yahoo.
-
I'll give it a whirl.
I understand the basics - but I've never been in a FFL before, so this should be fun.
-
You understand the basics of the game or FFL?
-
If anyone's intimidated, don't be. We're not all that hardcore about this - people just have fun with it.
I just realized - this is going to be the first year without RoD :(
-
What happened to him... did we piss him off that much?
-
He's banned from cprog, but i don't know why he's not around here anymore.
-
You understand the basics of the game or FFL?
oh, I'm a huge football fan. That I get.
I've just never been in a Fantacy Football League before, so while I understand the how they work, I was just saying that I'm new to the specific procedures involved in any given "league"
-
oh... cool. I was scared that there was an American male that didn't understand the game ;) (-Ken- and DK excluded.. haha)
It's easy. Don't worry.
-
RoD got pissed cause he said Ken kept on giving him 1 day bans...that being said...Game on! I got a title to defend.
-
So are you going to invite everybody through email, or what? What should I be looking for... so that I do not miss registration?
-
Just keep checking this thread. Once I create the league, I'll post the details here so everyone can join.
-
cool; i'm in guys - I don't know how it will work out with my schedule this year but
hopefully I'll find a coule minutes each week to make substitutions and such. Live
draft is out of the question for me, so if you decide to do it, give me at least three
days from the creation of the league and the live draft to set my preferences for
the picks.
:)
>>What happened to him... did we piss him off that much?<<
what kermi said.
-
What the heck is taking so long dammit.
-
what's the rush? I don't think we should really draft until near the end of preseason anyway...
-
I still need a vote on live draft vs. non-live (whatever that would be called).
-
Have a live one... I won't participate... but I will set up my draft choices.
-
Why won't you participate? It only takes about 30-45 min, and that was with a few people missing last time.
-
I vote live if we can do it...
What do you all think about trying a new site? I was looking at Flea Flicker (http://www.fleaflicker.com/welcome.do) and it looks pretty cool. I like it because it has some of the bonus features Yahoo offers (detailed stats and online scoring) but it's completely free....
-
Why won't you participate? It only takes about 30-45 min, and that was with a few people missing last time.
Of course if I am available, I will. Depends on when you have it. I cannot do it from work.
-
I'd imagine we'd do it in the evening... it doesn't appear that we have anyone from other countries participating, so I think we could schedule it within the 4 timezones of the states.
-
All right, I'll join, if for no other reason than to beat Kermi for cheating me out the championship last year. I still think you had something to do with Gato's injury to keep him from scoring the 3 more points I needed to beat you last year ;)
Only thing I would change would be to have 10 receiving yards = 1 pt just like rushing yards.
Oh, and live draft works for me, as long as its the weekend or during an evening.
-
Might I suggest 15 yards per recieving point? I think it strikes a slightly better balance...I had that in a league alst eyar and it worked real well. WR's are worth more, but it doesn't make things REAL different...Another idea, what if WR's got 1/2 a pt for each catch they made. That might even things out some.
(Anyone have any thoughts on http://www.fleaflicker.com/ ?)
-
That actually looks pretty cool. Anyone else care if we switch to that?
-
Works for me. I think CBS does all the tracking and stuff for free too. Let me know how it looks ober - maybe we can use it for cprog, too.
-
doesn't matter with me. looks pretty cool.
-
Dibs on Alexander and Tomlinson. Oh, Larry Johnson too.
-
I don't care what service we'll end up using as long as it is reliable.
-
Alright... we'll go with the one Kermi mentioned. I'll set it up tonight when I get back to my hotel and post the details (If I remember!)
-
So the the memory goes first then?
-
http://www.fleaflicker.com/showLeague.do?leagueId=3952&persist=leagueId&invite=true
Sorry... hotel net was shitty last night... I'll customize it more tomorrow!
-
Please look at the rules and let me know if there are any you want to change!
-
Please look at the first post in the thread... I need a count of teams!
-
I've joined and such.
Can we change it to a day not next friday? I'm moving in that day.
-
I didn't set that day... it just sort of happened. Any suggestions?
-
How about Sunday Sept 3rd? I know it's not too ling before the season starts...but that way we'll be sure no one drafts Clinton Protis and expects him to play...
-
Do we always count the number of tackles? And is 1 pt per 10 yards rushing and recieving too much? Haven't we done 20 yards int eh past and 50 yards for passing (which might be too high I dunno...)...
Have you preset the number of players we have? I thought I remembered starting 2 RBs and 3 WRs in the past...
-
sweet....beware of the oh-so-tasty chalupas.
-
I'm with kermi on the tackles thing. That's just weird to score, even though it looks like it's only for offensive guys. I'm cool with the yardage on WR/RB though. 20/50 is just too damn high.
I'm moving the weekend of the 26th, so please not that weekend. I'd prefer a weekday, actually.
-
game on, i think... i just can't get to that page from work. stupid filters. :mad:
-
All right, the corndogs are in. Game on! :devil:
The only things I would change (all just my opinion of course) would be to up QB's to 1pt per 30 yards instead of 20 yards to make it more like 300 yards passing == 100 yards receiving/rushing. Also I agree the whole tackles thing is weird for defense. I like the idea of that flex position, but to make it more strategic I'd recommend adding a second rushing spot so that there's 2 running backs, 2 receivers, 1 TE, 1 flex. Otherwise the flex will just always be a running back since I can't imagine a situation where it would be better to start a third receiver over a second rusher.
-
PJ's right.
And I'm registered :cool:
-
I'm with PJ on all counts.
-
We've never done this before but anyone interested in playing in a Pick'em league as well? You know, pick the winners of each game type of thing. Would be fun, but it would require everyone to make picks every week because if you miss a week you're screwed.
-
We did a Survivor league that was pretty neat. I'd do something like that again.
-
I'll make the changes tonight if I can.
-
Alright... I think I made all the requested changes. Please take a look and let me know what you think and if we need to change anything else.
I've added link to the league in my signature.
-
Looks good, last recommendation (just noticed this) but maybe make the playoffs from weeks 14-16 instead of 15-17 to avoid having players sit during the championship game?
-
We did a Survivor league that was pretty neat. I'd do something like that again.
but wasn't it just picking winners in a thread - not using a service. I know we did something similar....don't remember though.
-
hey guys - is anyone else signing up for the superior cprog league? http://cboard.cprogramming.com/showthread.php?t=81526
-
I'm signed up :)
-
> but wasn't it just picking winners in a thread - not using a service. I know we did something similar....don't remember though.
Well yeah, but what's the difference? It's not like a pick 'em league is hard to run.
-
stealth - do you know anything about 'merican football? If you've got a question, don't hesitate to ask.
-
Can we get a consensus on the draft day/time?
I propose Sept 3rd, 6PM EST. (Sunday)
-
I can't say solid yes to that right now. I may be out of town, since that's Labor Day weekend.
-
yeah, Sunday nights aren't the best for me - but whatever we pick probably will be bad so... :dunno:
-
Ok... yeah, forgot about Labor day.
How about Aug 30th, 7PM EST?
-
Ack, going to a concert that night :D
This might be difficult... I can do any night BUT the 30th.
-
ok... Aug 28th, 7PM?
-
That would work better for me.
-
i think i could actually make that dat as well. If not, does fleaflicker offer draft rankings?
-
nevermind - just saw it.
-
Works for me
-
Ok... I need a check-in from the others (I assume stealthy probably won't be able to make it).
I also set the draft pick time to 30 seconds. I assume that's ok. It was 1:30 by default.
-
axon, what a hilarious avatar.
Rex Grossman: Lovie Smith's #1 QB (we swear), 3 year IR QB of the Year.
-
hehehe...yeah, I love it. Fucking bears.
-
Draft day/time works for me.
-
Yea we're happy to help. If you have the first draft pick, make sure you draft Aarron Brooks. He's the best QB in the league.
-
OH, and don't draft Peyton. Either of them. They both retired.
(blatantly stolen from a commercial... yes)
-
Also, if ever in doubt, just pick a player from the Lions.
-
>>stealth - do you know anything about 'merican football? If you've got a question, don't hesitate to ask.<<
well i know enough of the basics, at least from playing it on the Xbox.
-
we need one more to avoid bye's.
-
I haven't really followed football in years. Don't know any of the players really. I do know how to play FF though. Probably will get beat by stealth. I predict me in last place. :)
-
we need one more to avoid bye's.
If you still have an odd number the day before the draft, let me know and I'll join. I'm already in the cprog league and one is plenty for me, but I don't mind helping you folks out here. That is, if you consider a loss better than a bye.
-
Please sign up... we don't have any one else that is interested that I know of.
-
Alright, I'll sign up the day before if it is still odd. Don't worry, I won't forget. I just want to let anybody else join up because one league will be hard enough to stay up on.
-
what about ken? he played last year.
-
I wonder if 30 seconds is too short to make draft picks, if I remember last year it often took 30 seconds just for the person to realize it was their turn.
-
what about ken? he played last year.
If you mean me, I signed up but didn't get started at all although, apparently, I beat RoD in one game with half a team. ;) :rolleyes:
I think I'll sit back and watch you guys play; it's more fun as a spectator sport. :)
-
Anyone else want to increase the pick time?
-
since i've never done a live draft i think an increase would be nice just so that i don't miss a round or something like that.
And, ken - too bad :( what about -ken-?
-
Yea, lets increase. It was pretty hectice last year.
-
90 seconds is kinda long if everybody's done a live draft before. It gets kinda annoying when people use the whole time every time on purpose. I had one guy in a baseball league spend 89 of the 90 seconds before making the pick, then mention on the chat that he was definitely going to pick one of two guys the whole time, and the guy he didn't pick was already picked the spot before. Punk.
But if you've got people new to live drafts, 90 seconds isn't bad. They can get a little confusing, and the people who are ready to pick earlier can still do so, so it works out fine. At least that's been my experience.
-
Will people that do not show end up using the whole time to pick (autodraft)? If so, I suggest only a minute.
-
I think that's the beauty of the new site... you have to be signed in to be part of it. At least, I think I saw that in the demo.
-
I did my draft list last night...got my first 150 players all set...now I just have to polish it and figure out when I'm going to draft kickers and defense...
-
I thought you've done this before, kermi. Everybody knows you draft kickers in the second round or after you've got your tight end, whichever comes first. :screwy:
-
...I can probably find a friend to fill our 10th spot. Should I?
-
Do it.
-
Done...
God damnit, PJ got a top 3 draft choice and I didn't...I'm still going to take you down again...
-
Don't think I've ever had a draft pick better than fifth. Whoohoo, David Akers you are all mine!
BTW, who is Australian Pride?
-
stealthy?
-
yeah its me but i don't know what i'm doing
-
Is there room for one more?
-
as soon as i saw you browsing the forum I knew this was the reason why ;) so ober, can we add two more slots? for cshot and charlie? would make the league more interesting.
-
but of course....it's that time of year again :)
-
2 more slots have been opened up! JOIN NOW!
-
thanks, joined
-
Ack! Damn you CShot, I lost my #2 pick :mad: :mad:
And I thought we were increasing the pick time to more than 30 seconds?
-
Umm... I will.
Done.
-
12 is a lot...this is going to be interesting :D.
So you gonna get in here charlie? I got to know if I'm going to be drafting better than Ye Old Loser over there.
-
Aight, fine. I'm in.
Holy crap, draft in two days? I guess I better start ranking.
-
Looks like the draft order didn't change, just appended Cshot and Charlie to the end.
-
Let's see... last draft position (are you sure it goes by the order registered?), I'll be working during the draft and will therefore likely be distracted, I'm addicted to chocolate...
Yup, the excuses are piling up already... Excellent!
-
It does not go by the order registered... I created the league and I'm #3.
-
[excuses]damn, all these sites are blocked at my work...which is a bit of a disadvantage for waiver wire pickups[/excuses]
I'll have to run home midday (west coast time) and then get back to work after the draft. That's dedication right there :)
-
This will be interesting with so many teams, we're all going to be starting some serious no-namers or part-timers. You figure on a football bye week theres only like 24-28 running backs even playing yet we need 24 so that everyone can start two. This league will likely come down to whoever gets that really smart/lucky sleeper pick in the late rounds since there will be so few players left afterwards to even potentially pick up off waivers.
-
Yea, this is going to be tough with some many people. Going to have to be quick on the waiver too...should be interesting...stark contrast to the cp.com which only has 7 (needs 1 more).
-
I normally play in 12 team leagues and the starters should still be pretty decent. I've played in some 14-16 team leagues and it gets pretty bad when you're forced to start backup RBs and #3 or #4 WRs.
-
Hey everyone, get your asses to the draft room now, we're about to start!
-
Oops. I totally came back from dinner and did a little bit of homework, and then looked up and realized it was 7:15. Oh well, things turned out okay.
-
Fuck, I spent all evening trying to get my damn internet to work, and I come back to realize that my team's been drafted.
ATTENTION: MIKE VICK AND TERRELL OWENS ARE OFFICIALLY FOR SALE
-
Hmmm... I might consider Owens. What do you need in return?
-
couldn't get off of work early :( - i don't want to look at my team...
-
thomas Jones is gonna kick so much ass this year :rolleyes:
and how do i ALWAYS end up with plummer? BTW, I don't know half the guys on my team, can someone take a look at them and tell me how I fair?
-
I proposed a trade, Charlie
-
You're pretty heavy on average-to-okay QBs. You've got a decent receiving corps, and Stallworth was traded to Philly today, so that should help him out.
-
Ok... I'm not sure I'd give up williams for owens straight up, but I'll see if I can counter.
-
thanks GC
-
Man, watching Carson Palmer tonight makes me wished I had draft him, can't remember if he was still around though for my second pick. For some reason the site doesn't show the draft order or who picked who when.
Got a lot of unproven sleepers on my team but few big names, either gonna score a lot or gonna score zilch.
-edit- nevermind found where they list the draft picks, I could have had him with either my second OR third pick, D'OH!
-
I can't see a way I'd give up Williams for Owens.... Maybe Westbrook for Owens...
Posted a rebuttal.
-
I'm interested in Vick. What are you looking for in return?
-
Well isn't this pretty...PJ I play you in what may be my weakest week (http://www.fleaflicker.com/showMatchup.do?fantasyGameId=316355&season=2006&leagueId=3952&persist=leagueId). Fortunately, Shaun is out that week too...should be interesting.
Anyway, drafting was fun, good luck throughout the season everyone...should be a fun year.
-
Where do they list them PJ? I took Eli over Palmer....I was afraid of footsteps...I've been kicking myself int eh butt all night.
-
You need to click on a team to see their roster, then to the right you'll see a link that says Transaction History. Its in there.
-
Thanks.
I know it's a bit late, but I was just looking at the rules, and I don't understand why a passing TD is only worth 4 points. A TD is a TD: 6 pts. I can see the bonus for 60+ yard plays. Having them worth only 4 pts puts even more emphasis on the running game, and RBs are just as likely to get TDs and more likely to score big points with 1 pt per 10 yards (vs 1 per 30) than QBs.
-
Weird... hadn't noticed that. I'll change it.
EDIT: changed as noted.
-
Passing TDs changed to 6 points?
"Mwahahahaha!" says the man with Peyton Manning on his roster.
-
Hey... does anyone want to split the league into 2 divisions??
-
I don't mind, it sounds interesting. What does that entail? We would still play everybody once and three people twice, right? Is it possible to make three divisions of four teams, so you play everybody in your division twice, or would that make things too complicated?
-
We can make up to 4 divisions. It could be interesting... I just never really thought we'd consider it, so I didn't bring it up.
-
Thanks.

I wouldn't mind making QB TDs worth 6 points. But we've already drafted based on the scoring rules that were set. I would have adjusted my draft strategy accordingly if I knew TDs were worth 6 pts beforehand.
From what I've seen, it's pretty much a no-no in most leagues to change the rules after the draft.
-
well... ? I already changed it. If 2 points per passing TD is going to make that much of a difference to you, I suggest you start a poll to make a decision.
-
Not that I don't believe you Cshot, but did you really take that into consideration? I mean, wow, that's some serious fantasy drafting going on. :p
-
I like the idea of divisions, 4 divisions would make divisions of only 3 teams which might be a little odd though.
I agree with CShot however on the QB thing, although I should have picked up Palmer anyways one of the reasons I didn't was because of the 4 pts. Thats actually pretty standard for leagues since even an average QB will score more TD's than all but the top two running backs. But I promise not to bitch though if I get outvoted :D
-
Yeah, I considered that. I make my draft cheatsheets based on the scoring rules. So every league I'm in, I have a different sheet.
But, I won't kill the fun if everyone wants it to be 6 pts. I'll live. This type of thing happens all the time though. Changing scoring rules and allowing bogus trades to go through often kill many leagues especially for ones with money involved.
All right, I'll start a poll. Let's see if I remember how to make one heheh
-
If anything, we'd do 2 divisions, 3 max.
And I see your point about the whole changing of the rules thing.... but I still voted for the change. hell, I made it.
-
I can't see a way I'd give up Williams for Owens.... Maybe Westbrook for Owens...
Posted a rebuttal.
I can't see your counteroffer anywhere - where should I be looking?
-
If I click on the "Trades" tab, then click on the "My Trades" link, it shows up.
The deal is this:
Charlie's Fog Ballers gets:
- Terrell Owens from kermi's a douchebag kermi's a douchebag
- Fred Taylor from kermi's a douchebag kermi's a douchebag
kermi's a douchebag kermi's a douchebag gets
- Brian Westbrook from Charlie's Fog Ballers
- Eric Moulds from Charlie's Fog Ballers
- Mark Clayton from Charlie's Fog Ballers
Westbrook is rated higher than Owens, plus you get depth at receiver. I like Westbrook, and I think that either Moulds or Clayton (or both) will have a good year.
That's probably the best I can do.
-
I know some of you guys have to have my.yahoo.com pages. Have any of you EVER gotten the fantasy stuff to show up in a module on your pages???
-
c'mon people... I need more to chime in on the division thing... or I'm just going to do it and you won't get a choice!
-
Do it. Do it. (Ben Stiller from Starsky & Hutch) Three divisions. Do it.
>> Have any of you EVER gotten the fantasy stuff to show up in a module on your pages???
I used to all the time. Now it still works for my baseball league on my old login, but none of the leagues on my current yahoo account show up. I just gave up and added bookmarks to the league pages.
-
I don't get why those don't work better.
Do it. Do it. :rofl2: Great movie ;)
-
i don't care about the devisions either way. Only question is how will the teams be split up. Is it the program that splits it or is it you?
-
The site does it, I'm pretty sure... but I'll check.
EDIT: Ok, I've split us into 3 divisions. We can either leave it at that or change it back. Take a look and comment! (It automatically chose the teams for us, by the way... and subsequently rearranged the schedule)
-
The weird thing is, now that I've looked at the schedule, I only play my division once!
-
Yeah, that is weird. Contact/Report a bug (http://www.fleaflicker.com/contact.do)!
If it doesn't set it up to play your division twice, then I don't care one way or another.
-
Reported. We'll see what comes out of this.
-
Just matters for playeroffs I guess. I don't know if I like it or not....course some of that has to do with the otehr people in my league....
Actually, the more I think about it, I don't know if I'm really a fan of the idea. There are 12 of us, and the chances are some people are going to slack off and quit really doing anything. That's always been an advantage for someone if they are playing that person. With divisions, it becomes a much bigger deal if if people slack off. If 2 people slack off, then the other 2 people in the division can walk into the playoffs even if they are at the bottom of the rest of the league.
-
I'm very much a proponent of the divisions, because I'm in a division with kieran :P
Also, it'll make trading that much more interesting.
-
NOTE: I just made the league private and if it asks you for a password, it is "esink".
-
Ok... I also got an email from the site... The number of times we play division teams is configurable, so I changed it to be that we play division teams twice. I can also configure the teams in the divisions, so if someone thinks they're unfair, i can move them around.
Thoughts?
-
I still really don't like divisions for the reasons stated above. If someone slacks off it should benifit everyone else equally.
-
Well I don't like the Jews because they own all the banks and the news and everything, but we still let you post <:mad:>
-
LOL.
-
Meh, since theres no way to get around having unbalanced schedules with or without divisions I really don't think it makes a difference Kermi. I'm guessing the three division winners advance and then the next best three advance, so the only way it matters is if a division winner would have finished 7th or lower without divisions. Looking at how they are setup now each division has at least one person who will be paying attention the entire year so it should be fair.
-
Meh whatever then...I don't want to play division people more than other people though...same reasoning...oh and Govt, you're student loans are being called in. Sorry about that.
-
That'd be funny if the person with the 6th best record didn't make the playoffs because of a weak division winner.
Not sure whose in what division yet. Damn work filters.
-
No matter what though you'll play at least 3 people twice, this way it just happens to be against division people instead of random teams.
-
That'd be funny if the person with the 6th best record didn't make the playoffs because of a weak division winner.
Stuff like that happens all the time in real life, though
-
yeah, but isn't that why we play fantasy....because it's not real?
-
Anyone here interested in joining the cprog league? We need just one more person over there to be even.
-
i think i'm going to have to bow out of this one lads. i don't have a pc outside of work and you lot being on the other side of the globe etc...
do you have to play in real time??
-
No, there's no real time stuff. You only have to check your lineup once or twice a week. Watch players on your team and make sure they aren't injured, or not playing for the week (most weeks there are a few NFL teams and their players that don't play due to a bye week).
So I'd check your team once on Mondays when you're at work. Make sure everybody on your team who is not on the bench will play the following week. See if anybody on your team is injured or playing really shitty. If they are, then waive them and find another guy at the same position who is ranked really high.
The whole process takes 5 - 30 minutes depending on how involved you want to be. Then you check back on Thursday or Friday and make sure nobody got injured in the week and you're good to go. If you don't recognize the players, just go by their ranks and you'll be competitive enough.
-
cool well that's no drama's then is it?
-
So Govt... how long are you going to ponder my trade counter-proposal? Is it really that confusing?
-
> So I'd check your team once on Mondays when you're at work.
Check your team Tuesday or Wednesday, since there's always a game Monday night.
> So Govt... how long are you going to ponder my trade counter-proposal? Is it really that confusing?
Sorry, internet's been shit at home (we just moved and have had a bunch of problems) and I haven't been at my office lately. I'll give a counter offer tonight - however, 2 starters for 3 bench players isn't exactly something I'm going to jump out of my seat for.
-
Westbrook's the best player in the deal.
But no problem about the internet connection. I'm not actually in any hurry.
-
I made a counteroffer
-
I think I'll decline it. Part of me really likes the idea of getting Owens, but another part of me doesn't like making trades that I'm not sure about.
If you really like Rackers, you can send me Stover instead of releasing Mare, and then I'd do it.
-
So TO, Fred Taylor, and Stover for Rackers, Westbrook, and Clayton?
-
Yes. I would do that.
-
Because I'm bored and waiting for a build, I figured I'd give a preview based on FleaFlickers projected points for this weeks games (you can see this info on the Box Scores from the Scoreboard tab).
Week 1 Preview:
Projected winner in bold.
All projections from FleaFlicker.
Team Projected Points

Corellian Rogues (0-0) ............................ 89.08
Betazepian Bluemen (0-0) .......................... 87.59
kermi's a douchebag kermi's a douchebag (0-0) ..... 89.51
Mile High Corndogs (0-0) .......................... 83.93
noodlekiller (0-0) ................................ 94.55
bitchinbenny (0-0) ................................ 93.82
Team Cshot (0-0) .................................. 90.42

Dang, it looks like the Chalupas are expected to have a good week. If the Short Kid or Liability win it will be a big upset.
Carry on...
-
Those projections aren't very good and look to be pretty heavily biased towards last years stats. I've got two starting rookie running backs (Bell and Lundy) that they gave a combined 3.8 points to and somehow I doubt they predict two starters will combine for less than 40 yards.
-
denver sucks. Sucks I tell you!!!! dammit.
DA BEARS!
-
and GC you were so right about stallworth. Over 20 points. Too bad I didn't start him.
-
I beat PJ, and my QB and RBs haven't even played yet :)
-
:(.... c'mon Santana Moss!
-
wasnt i projected to win? damn you kermi!
-
By the way, I contacted fleaflicker about the setup for getting into the league. If you click the link in my signature right now, and then click on most anything else, you'll get a "page does not exist" type error. Apparently the link should be like this:
http://www.fleaflicker.com/showLeague.do?leagueId=3952&persist=leagueId
I'll update my sig to reflect that. This does appear to make the problem go away.
-
Yeah, holy hell did my team suck it up this week :mad: Alexander couldn't even score against the Lions?? This is going to be a looooong year...
-
Hi Axon! :D Don't worry, Stallworth wouldn't have helped.
-
Alexander couldn't even score against the Lions?? This is going to be a looooong year...
Hey
:(
-
:D
Actually I have the Lions picked as the division champ, they better not let me down!
-
You do? What the hell is wrong with you?
edit: You're going to kill Brian Urlacher, aren't you? That's the only way I can see this happening. You kill Brian Urlacher and accidentally kill everyone on the team except Kyle Orton.
-
Damn, thats an ass whoopin'. I still can't believe ober passed(??) on Tomlinson for Stephen Jackson. Must have been the same logic that had him pick the Texans in the elimator pool.
-
... hmm... I don't think I actually passed on LT. I'm pretty sure he was gone by the time I got to pick.
-
The draft list shows this order:
L Johnson
S Alexander
S Jackson
L Tomlinson
-
hmm... well fuck me. I must have been drunk.
-
Yeah, I literally said WTF when I saw your 3rd pick.
Anyways anyone wanna trade me a QB. Damn Oakline O-line and their playcalling. Brooks had more sacks against him than passes completed (7 to 6)!
-
You interested in Culpepper or Bulger? I need a starting RB.
-
Still interested in dealing Vick. CShot, you can make an offer, but I didn't see a lot that jumped out at me on your team.
-
PJ - I'd be interested in Bulger. Send me an offer and we'll see if we can work something out.
Cheez - Can't see a trade right now that'd work out for both of us. Perhaps later in the season.
-
Ok, can't login until tonight, maybe not til tomorrow though.
GC- I might be interested in Vick, let me know if you see a trade from my team, minus Alexander of course, but I think anyone else is open for consideration.
-
why the hell did I play seattle's D instead of Ind against Hou...that was just lazy of me.
-
Yeah... 125 points so far... You're a lazy ass.
-
well shit....I hadn't refreshed and it didn't do it automatically...I thought I had 60 pts. Oh well...Good game...I'm coming for you next week ober!
-
I still have a chance! I still have a chance! and fuck you houshmanczasdjhwefahasdfah!
-
I always do this. I'm 2-0 here and 0-2 at cprog
(the embarassing thing is that I drafted the cprog team, and this was an autodraft)
-
I should just stop playing in fantasy leagues :(
-
Hey, my friend (govcampbell) says he's got a friend to take over the spot that some dumb aussie abandoned. Any objections?
-
He can gladly take it!
-
Some dumb aussie abandoned his team?!? I guess that explains Davis still starting... but damn that team would be good if somebody was watching it.
-
Can't you wait one more week? Thats the team I play this weekend.
-
lol PJ
I'm ok with it as well - i guess it was expected.
BTW, I hate fleaflicker's UI - bleh! live scoring is nice though.
-
I really like it all, I love the detailed stats....I told him, I believe it's his wife who's going to join up...
-
I like the live stats, but the player search could use a few more functions like being able to sort by points for a particular week.
-
Yeah... the UI does need a little work. But some of the features are nice.
-
I'm just going to say "Thanks charlie" for trading me Brian "2 rushing TD 1 receiving TD" Westbrook
-
:( I suck. The first fucking week Hasselbeck decides to put any real points on the board, I bench him and put in "I can't play football after a car hit me" Rothlisberger. And Houshmanzadheadsfqwefasdf doesn't put up shit for 2 weeks and so I bench him and he decides to put up 23 points! FUCK! And I replaced him with someone that didn't SCORE AT ALL!
-
Argh, ok, another complaint about Fleaflicker, they don't post news on players like Yahoo did. I had no idea Bell got benched, and I lost by less than 2 FREAKING POINTS!
-
I hear ya ober. Besides govt fleecing me by taking Westbrook (although Stover outperforming Rackers has been a nice surprise), I actually played Kurt Warner over Carson Palmer in the CProg league. Palmer was playing the Steelers defense, and Warner had outperformed him over the first two weeks. Great idea, right? Well, Palmer did get held to under 200 yards, except he threw for a meager four fucking touchdowns. Plus, I played Donte Stallworth since the "news" said he'd likely play. He didn't. Bitch!
-
Fleecing you :p
-
BWHAHAA... at least reading that made me laugh :)
-
Did I mention that Palmer would have scored 22 points?
Warner scored 3. :disbelief:
-
At least you got that much... I benched Hasselbeck for Roethlisberger. Hasselbeck had like 32 points... Big Ben had a whopping .83. Shoot me now.
-
Yeah well that jerkass Tom Brady lost the game he played in! He got me 320 yd passing, 1 TD 0 INT, but he lost!
Oh wait
-
I hate FF. I had Hasselbeck in my main league and started Chris Henry and Holt alongside him (that's 8 TDs right there!). I beat every team by at least 30-40 points except for the team I was facing. All his players were on fire including his kicker Kasay (20 pts).
I'm now 1-2 in that league while having the highest point total and the most points against :(
well at least my opponent here benched Portis this week
-
Wait what? You're winning!?
... oh, your "main" league... never mind.
Somebody might want to inform Betazepian that playing guys during their bye week is not the best way to win. ;)
Especially against a division rival!
-
yeah tell him that only after he plays me hehehe
-
He doesn't appear to be checking in very often.
-
man, I just can't catch a break.
-
Ober you know Housh has been injured for the past 2 wks right? This was the first came where he was healthy - and he waosn't supposed to be that healthy.
...anyway, good game. Anything is still possible...
-
yeah... I know he was injured... and his status hadn't changed for this past week so I thought it was a sure bet that he'd sit or be ineffective. Fucking bullshit... that's what it is.
-
I changed my mind. Despite all the crap I complained about yesterday, I won my game in both leagues. So all is right with the world. Apparently I'm such an idiot I can't even fuck up my own team.
-
Thanks for taking a suicidal, injured receiver off my hands charlie :)
-
/me clears his throat and coughs in a manner that distinctly sounds like "say that after next weeks game, bitch!"
When I first heard that this morning I thought, damn, he's on my fantasy team. But considering the guy has issues and tried to kill himself and all that I'm going to try to avoid making it all about me. :|
-
FINALLY the football gods shone down on my team.
-
:( and I lose...or I will...
btw axon, you have me by 12 pts in cp.com but I still have mcnabb, westbrook, and smith to play
-
Dear god,
Please make Brian Westbrook play tonight and get all the touches that Donte Stallworth normally would so I can beat Charlie in both leagues. I think you owe me, because the Lions lost (shocker!), the Spartans lost to U of fucking Illinois, and you saw fit to have the Tigers swept by the Royals, a team which they had lost one game to previously, so that they lost the AL Central. You owe me, you son of a bitch.
Love,
Govtcheez
-
hahaha... *prays for 4 points so I can beat the highly absent Beta*
-
my ram was fried and couldn't change my to players on BYE weeks - good thing I was playing someone who pays less attention to his team then I do.
BTW, Bears are even surprising me now - wow. Superbowl here we come.
And Kermi, I was amazed to use I was winning - then I checked your roster - congrats.

I'm sorry, but do I really have to remind you once again? I am a 49ers fan. God owes me.
-
Joe Montana, Steve Young, and Jerry Rice have something different to say about that. Besides Barry, the Lions haven't had a thing to cheer for for damn near 50 years.
-
Well shit, if you want to bring the past into it and all that, then fine. Go Westbrook!
Right now all I can remember is 41-0.
-
I bring up the past because as a Lions fan it's all I have :(
-
FINALLY the football gods shone down on my team.
Hopefully the gods will smile down on me and give David Akers a few 50+ yd kicks and perhaps a TD throw!!
-
fuck you jesus
-
booya! Eat my shorts, Beta!
-
I just love having a lot of points scored against my team. It's been a theme this year for me in quite a bit of leads Guess I can't complain if we look at jkim's team hahah.
btw, i called david akers yesterday and told him i needed some TDs...that's why he went for the fake FG at the end of the 1st half

last place game, me vs beta! bring it!!!
-
...I'm looking for a RB for next week. I'm willing to consider trading Norwood for one. I'm open to tagging a WR with him if that's what it takes.
Posting here and on flea flicker to make sure everyone sees. If anyone is interested let me know.
-
Awesome, the third string running back with only one TD and one good week! Sign me the fuck up!
-
Second string...asshole
-
Vick, Dunn, Norwood
-
I'll take Norwood with Rudi Johnson at the swing position.
-
Awesome, the third string running back with only one TD and one good week! Sign me the fuck up!
LOL I was thinking the same thing!
-
BTW, this is to everyone, I have a butt load of decent WR's, I'm open to suggestions to trade any of them for a running back who gets an average amount of carries (ie NOT I-got-40%-of-my-season-yards-on-one-80-yard-carry Norwood).
So if you need a wide receiver, either make me an offer or let me know you are interested and I'll take a look at your team.
-
PJ, would you consider packaging someone+Bulger for one of my QB+RB?
[rant] In another league, I have the 2nd highest point total but highest points against. I'm 1-3 grrrr. Sucks cuz only 4of12 teams make playoffs unlike this league.[/rant]
-
Yes, don't have much time to look at the moment but I'd probably at least consider Pennington + Good RB (McGahee, James, Foster) or Grossman + ok RB (Gore, Green) for Bulger + any WR. Not insterested in Barlow.
Sorry Charlie, Henry is a bust. Maybe McAllister or Williams?
-
Ok.. take your pick, but for Walker instead of Galloway.
-
PJ, I'll send you a trade proposal when I get home from work.
-
Ok, I've got a bad feeling I'm going to regret trading Bulger but I have to go on a hunch it'll work out for me. I accepted your trade Cshot, oh and yours too Charlie. FINALLY, no more starting backup platoon running backs for me!
-
...in the RB market...will trade almost anyone...
Damn, I thought the Bulger trade was unfair as hell for a second there, I didn't realize that Bulger has been tearing it up almost as much as Pennington...interesting.
-
Hey Ober... in case you don't check in on CProg, I've got a trade offer for you in that league. Feel free to change it. I think you could use Gonzales, so if the guy I picked isn't what you want to give up then just pick somebody else.
-
Sorry... I rejected the trade. I'm actually fairly happy with my team in cprog. I'm not winning a ton, but I'm doing alright.
-
You wouldn't take Tony Gonzales over anybody on your team?!? Even for this week when you have some random name that has barely played starting for you, and after that you've got Alge Crumpler?!?
Good luck with that. :p
-
umm... for what you wanted in return, it wasn't worth it. And my TE's are doing just about as good as Gonzales, so why trade for him? Trust me, I pondered the decision for a worthy number of ticks on the clock.
-
weird... I just noticed that it was still there. Well, I rejected it now. ;)
-
>> for what you wanted in return, it wasn't worth it
I said to pick anybody on your team that you'd take Gonzales for, my trade proposal was for a guy who was on your bench at the time.
>> And my TE's are doing just about as good as Gonzales, so why trade for him?
Umm... because of those three TE, which do you think will improve as the season continues? (Note: Gonzales has more yards in three weeks than the other two have in four, his QB went out in week one with a concussion but will probably be returning soon, while his backup QB Matthew Perry just found his form this past week, and he has been one of the top three TEs for years.)
I'm not trying to fleece you, I'm just saying that this is a great opportunity for you to improve your team. Trade a bench RB or WR who isn't helping you anyway, for a real upgrade at another position. It works for me because I have two top-notch tight ends.
I guess I'll just have to wait for somebody else's (or my) TE to get injured. :dunno:
-
> probably be returning soon
Seriously? That's a really quick recovery
-
By soon I mean the next few weeks, which is what I thought they said in the Chiefs-Niners game last weekend. Originally they thought he might play in week 3 or 4. This is why I still have him as my backup in the Sink league.
-
...in the RB market...will trade almost anyone...
Damn, I thought the Bulger trade was unfair as hell for a second there, I didn't realize that Bulger has been tearing it up almost as much as Pennington...interesting.
I'm banking on the fact that the Jets have the much easier schedule the rest of the way and that Bulger doesn't have pass happy Martz anymore. Even if Pennington's nancy arm falls off and Bulger has a big year I had to do this, my team sucked so bad having Jamal Lewis and his geriatric walker as my only pure starting running back. With these trades my average per game has jumped 25 points AND I have decent backups now. Plus Alexander is coming back in a couple of weeks :D
-
Perhaps he was mentioning the fact that it was unfair on my end. I was willing to take the gamble because I have enough RB depth to give away Foster (PJ also has Williams so that'll guarantee him a Carolina starter if either one of them go down). Hopefully the Rams will open up their offense a bit more and this will pay off for me. Will also be interesting to see how long Penny can keep this level of play up.
-
*sigh*... I (so far) have scored 3rd best in the league this week... but like a true champ, I'm facing the top scorer in the league. Fantastic.
-
<--- Not a true champ but yeah, i know the feeling. In another league i had the 2nd highest and faced off against the highest point total a couple weeks ago! I remember getting 5 TDs from Hasselbeck but his entire team was on fire including a 20+ performance from his kicker.
Might drop to 1-4 in that league even with one of the highest and most consistent point totals every week. That's fantasy football for ya.
-
Son of a bitch... haven't been at my computer since before the trade went through so apparently I didn't update my roster to handle the trade of a starter. And I lose by one point.
-
Considering how desparate I am for a win I'm not complaining :D
PS - Am I the only one who can't see my avatar right now?
-
Anyone want to trade a tight end for Jamal Lewis?
-
Anyone want to trade a tight end for Jamal Lewis?
I'll do it in the CProg league! :D
PS - Am I the only one who can't see my avatar right now?
I see your avatar and my avatar just fine, but I use the default theme.
-
Why am I still ranked 1st? Why is my waiver drawn 12th for like the 4th week in a row? Why does that bastard have Leon Washington when I wanted him?
-
:p In case you haven't noticed waiver order is always in reverse of your place in the standings. Don't know why you are still #1 though, I assumed it went by record then points scored which would place you third overall instead. Must go overall record then division record then points scored.
-
What do you guys think of fleaflicker so far, by the way? My only bitch is the lack of fucking news. I do like a lot of the features though.
-
I like it with the exception of the lack of news and the lack of sorting capabilities when searching players. Like for example its tough to find up and coming players who did well in week 5 because I have to keep sifting through the people who peaked at week 1. I'm unsure of how they do waiver wire, right now I like it because it helps out my sucky team but if I was in Kermi's place I'd probably be pissed.
-
i'm kinda liking fleaflicker especially with the free live scoring feature
as others have pointed out, the searching capabilities leaves a bit to be desired
-
Bah...I don't really like that the waiver never rotates. I think there should be a balance between giving priority to lower ranked players and allowing everyone to have a shot. But I'm bitter now...;)
I think the search is a bit iffy, but I really like that player's average withint their last 3 games is right there on the main page. And I REALLY like that you can put your cursor on it to see their actual numbers for the last three. I'd also really like to be able to start making waiver claims before Tuesday. I don't see the harm in starting to make claims before then.
period
-
Yeah... I'm really torn myself. And to be honest, I'm getting a lot of news that I need from other leagues and like ESPN or whatever. I just wonder if there are any plans for additions to fleaflicker for next year.
-
I honestly don't have an opinion. I kinda agree with most of what has been said. I don't know why I'm even posting this.
Ehh, well, actually I do.
-
So ummm....what's going on? Why are people not setting their rosters (http://www.fleaflicker.com/showMatchup.do?fantasyGameId=456234&season=2006&leagueId=1771&persist=leagueId)? Where you at Govt and Axon?
-
Umm... is this your subtle way of making everybody check the scores and see that you've got 165 points :eek: after the early games?!? :worship:
-
Yeah Kermi, way to waste your big points on little ol' me and my craptacular team.
-
I was out of town this weekend and forgot to set my rosters. It apparently didn't matter here, though :)
-
Well at the time of the post, I only had about 90 :D. I always feel like I have to suit up big to go against you PJ.
-
I might actually win this week :)
-
damn, i switched my starting QB from Bulger (35 points!) to Grossman at the last second...thought that'd be the safer play
oh well, it'll make for a more interesting Monday Night game
-
those are my bears!
-
Son of a bitch...
Nothing like a couple defensive touchdowns to drive the screw in with a hammer.
-
Fuck... I probably would have won in another league if it wasn't for that bullshit.
And why does everyone I'm playing against this week have Peyton Manning as a QB?!?! :mad:
-
Da Bears!
man, Salt Lake City is kicking my ass. And freagin Utah's laws can kiss my ass. 3.2 beer...pfft. Good thing I only have a few days left.
-
Hmmm, I see a pattern now. I think I've won every other week. Sucks for jkim (upcoming opponent) cuz this is my winning week :D
-
I'm kinda upset i missed it, to be honest. I knew it was coming up, and i kicked myself for not coming back. Ken kept banning me, and i was getting really pissed off. I was banned for being me. Thats what happened at cprog, and here was different. Were all fucking nuts and unstable, its why we all are here, isnt it?
I dont know, im still a bit pissed, but it took alot for me to kinda find my way back. Cprog i was never wanted, but i didnt care, they were assholes. I like the people here and dont have a problem with any of you. I dont know, i felt wanted here and once i lost that feeling, i just kinda felt hurt.
I dunno, bitch session over. Govt, kick kerms ass for me will ya? RoD's eagles missed this one. lol....four years running last place......lol
-
....Someone should see if beta wants to keep playing, and if he's going to sit on the sidelines, Steve should take it over...
-
I'd have to agree. And Steve, feel free to PM him if you want in.
-
Its too bad, this was the one year where an all-Eagles RoD team would actually have done well!
-
they would have blew it for me pj lol. If he doesnt want to do it i could take it over
-
i shot beta a pm
-
Why do inactive teams always become active right before I play them??? :mad:
-
good game Govt. Vick is not supposed to do that...Congratz on the win.
-
*sigh*... going up against P. Manning who scores 40 alone and me without either of my 2 main RBs... plus the Steelers D sucked ass today.
-
....Someone should see if beta wants to keep playing, and if he's going to sit on the sidelines, Steve should take it over...
Not sure about this one. The season is almost halfway over and some teams including mine has taken advantage of Beta's inactive team. I think it'd be fair to give everyone else a shot at playing the inactive team. Plus it's funny to see the inactive team win :rofl:
-
he hasnt got back to me yet lol
-
Anyone need a top 10 QB? I'm in desparate need of WR and/or TE help. I'm pretty solid at QB so Pennington is up for grabs. While hes no Peyton Manning, hes played well and has a super easy schedule the rest of the way. Oh, and don't offer that guy whos sitting on your bench that you never play ;)
-
So no offers? Nobody needs a decent backup/starting QB? Ober, you look like you need one the most, Hasselbeck is out for awhile and Huard is possibly out this week with Green coming back soon anyways. Jen, you look like you could use a QB too now that Bledsoe is benched.
-
Alright... make me an offer.
-
Pennington for Housh or Ward, maybe Colston?
-
*sigh*... do it up.
-
If you weren't such a big Steelers fan I probably would have fought for Ward a bit more, but thats ok, I accepted the current trade.
-
Another loss...weeee, good game CShot - we split them this year...
-
God I love Ladainian Tomlinson.
-
He played a hell of a game today against the rams. Much better game to watch then Phil/Jack
-
fuck me sideways... Mike Bell FINALLY has a fantastic game, enough to win me the fantasy matchup, and I have him riding the pine. FUCK! And of course my other normal starter gets 0.1 points. fantastic.
-
Yeah, but in your defense he only played because Tatum got injured beginning of the game, no way you could have known that.
-
Yeah.... but still. My other starters were both out on byes last week, why didn't Tatum go down last week... or why wasn't my other starter on a bye this week!? IT'S NOT FAIR! ;)
-
Another loss...weeee, good game CShot - we split them this year...
Isn't it funny that my bench outscored your team even with one injured player and a guy on bye?
domination! j/k but still :lol:
-
Yea, my team completely underperformed....Which kinda sucks, cause I still think I have a pretty good team, but maybe not so much...
-
anybody up for a trade?
I have too many points sitting away on my bench and am looking to consolidate some players to upgrade my team.
i'm open to packaging up any of my qb/rb/wr
lemme know, this is a good chance to fill up any holes in your starting position
-
Oh yeah, Vick against the Lions. I am so hard right now.
-
I'd trade, but I don't have much to offer in return.
-
Depends, are you willing to trade Gates or Steve Smith? Otherwise I feel like I'm just swapping my unreliable players for your unreliable players ;)
-
I'd be willing to trade Reggie Wayne (ranked #4 among all WRs) for a similar scoring RB.
Also, in the CProg league, 4 out of my 5 WRs are on a bye this week, so I'd be willing to swap one of them and/or a running back for a WR that isn't on a bye.
This doesn't help you CShot, but, oh well. ;)
-
As much as I'd love to try and cheat you out of a good player my conscience is telling me to let you know that any trade won't take effect til next week anyways ;)
-
SHIT!
-
It's close Charlie...Manning and Wayne could get 24 points plus what the seahawks get me tomorrow...good luck.
-
Oh yeah, Vick against the Lions. I am so hard right now.
:(
-
oh shutup, you're not really upset...I on the other hand am completely torn - IU'd love to see the colts win...but Charlie...
-
My fantasy team doing well's more important to me than the Lions doing well. Every win is just another step away from a high draft pick, not that Millen is going to know what do with a high pick. They could give him the whole first round to himself and he'd draft a powder puff team.
-
Sadly, I understand that feeling most years...
-
I'm sure whatever whiny wide receiver Millen wants will still be around irregardless of where the Lions draft. I think you got me over at cprog though, I loved seeing the Broncos win but did Walker really need all three of those TD's?
-
> I'm sure whatever whiny wide receiver Millen wants will still be around irregardless of where the Lions draft.
"Oh, you're a standout receiver with a terrible attitude and/or substance abuse problem? Here's your Lions jersey and $5mil signing bonus."
-
I've ended up with 4 of the top 10 wide receivers. I'd like to trade one of them (preferably Reggie Wayne so that I'm not reliant on him and Manning every week). I need a good RB.
I'd be willing to take a downgrade at a position (TE, TM or K) and a RB that averages a little less than the WR I'm trading him for. The best trade I could come up with so far was to give Terrell Owens back to Govtcheez, but I decided against offering that (unless you'd consider it).
Oh, and Tony Gonzales is still available for relatively cheap in the CProg league.
Oh, oh, and DAMMIT! for not playing Walker last week. You got lucky kermi. It was a last minute decision.
-
ober!
you just gave up colston for pennington and you immediately dropped him?
and then you drop matt hasselbeck from your team and it was immediately picked up by the team you traded colston to!?
if you are conducting some fishy business don't make it too obvious :lol:
-
:D I'll take last minute there Charlie, that's fine with me! I needed the win bad!
...Oh, and I just dropped Norwood for Anthony Thomas; I donl't know if that helps. I still think Norwood is going to be a decent player by the end of the season. Pick him up if you want...Thomas might be a halfway decent RB for me for a week or 2...
Yea, what the hell is going on ober? Dropping Colston and Hasselbeck? Worse yet, letting PJ get them? Damn you! And screw you PJ, that's 2 or 3 wks in a row you've gotten my first choice waiver selection!
-
First, I'd like to say :tongue2:
Second, I'd like to say my team is a frickin' FOUR AND FIVE and last in every tie break scenario! At least I'm pissing off Kermi, that almost makes it worth it :D
-
grrrrr....I'm beating you at cp.com this weekend :t1:.
-
well... I needed a QB because Hasselbeck is fucking out. I traded for Colsten because I have other decent WR. I dropped Pennington because he sucks worse than I thought. Sue me.
-
grrrrr....I'm beating you at cp.com this weekend :t1:.
You sure about that? ;)
-
No, I'll go ahead and conciede that now. GG, we split them this year...
-
I'm just surprised as hell that I'm going to win. I saw that Tomlinson had a monster game (Ward and Westbrook also looked good), and on my team Manning, Taylor and Jones all sucked and I assumed I lost horribly.
Course now I've just jinxed Smith into breaking a leg first play of the game...
-
I hope not, I need Delhomme to do well in this league.
-
Again I find myself with too many QB's, anyone want to trade? I really need a running back. Axon I'm looking at you since you seem to be in the need for one. Cheez you too unless for some reason you have confidence in Vick. Kermi, interested? (NOT Thomas)
-
gg, btw. It was close.
-
Yep, story for my team so far this year, whole lotta yards, no touchdowns :(
-

I'm OK with the QB's, i think, but need a WR...propose something.
-
Yeah, I'm pretty light on WR's too. I don't think I can make a trade unless its for one of my QB's. I've got 3, all are above average. Two don't do me any good on the bench.
-
Axon - what's your team name again?
I got WRs to spare. Make me an offer.
Everyone else -
I'm looking for a top RB. I'd be willing to make a sweet package deal for one.
My WRs: Smith, Driver, C. Johnson, Fitzgerald
My RBs: James, McGahee, Green, Gore, Lewis, Jacobs
PJ, you willing to part with Alexander?
-
Not really interested in QBs right now, but I'll consider any offer. I wouldn't at all mind having Hasselbeck....If you'd looking to offload Steve Smith CShot make me an offer. I would certainly consider something along the lines of Dunn for Smith.
-
Hmmmm... I'll have to think about it. I'm not really in the market for a WR and I was kind of counting on Alexander to shore up my RB starting this week. If I do it, Smith will certainly have to be involved. And I'll take a look Kermi and possibly send an offer.
-
Offer sent Kermi.
-
I don't know where Lee Evans decided to bring that from, but he should do it more often.
-
FUCK YOU MIKE BELL.
-
Well, its official. My team sucks.
-
Mine's not much better :-/. I need to learn to pick my players....
-
Beta's team is doing better than mine and I don't even think he's checking his team. :(
-
:)
-
Shutup Mr. I'm winning from one player because I got to draft first.
-
What the hell are you talking about? I beat ober by 80 damn points. Even if I didn't have LT, he still would have had to make up 40 points, presumably by playing a QB and kicker. That's pretty unlikely.
-
I don't care. I want to be bitter, and I will.
By the way, thanks to LT for carrying me over @ CP.
-
LT could carry us all over if he had a big basket. He'll probably start weaving in the offseason, since that's just the kind of guy he is.
-
:( I didn't know Green was back... but WTF happened with my kicker?
-
Well, Dave Rayner went to MSU, so I'm assuming he saw the snow in Green Bay and assumed it was cocaine.
-
First off, cheez got LT with the FOURTH pick! To think I could have had him instead of Shaun Got-Injured-Most-Of-Season-And-Couldn't-Even-Gain-40-Yards-Against-The-49ers-When-I-Came-Back Alexander. Second of all, LT always bombs come fantasy playoff time. Third of all, HOW THE HELL did somebody who had topped 100 yards only once all year score 40 POINTS off me in the first quarter alone yesterday while my star receiver gets injured on the first play??
Oh well, at least I get to keep picking players off waivers before Kermi ;)
-
> First off, cheez got LT with the FOURTH pick!
Thanks, I couldn't remembered where I drafted, but first didn't seem right.
-
Yeah yeah... I'm the jackass that passed on him. :(
-
yada yada... and then there's some of us who just keep rolling along... heading toward a first place finish in both the Sink and CProg leagues.
:wave:
-
You're not even in first place in your own division :confused:
-
I said "heading toward".
And I'm guessing I will be in first place after tomorrow anyway, although I don't know how the tiebreaker will land.
-
Man, I lost to that all New England Patriots team. I thought I'd get a free win like everyone else but no....the Pats decided to do well with all of their skill positions.
It's just as bad as losing to Beta's team :lol:
-
HAHA! my all pats team of evil ( :devil:) finally came through. Thats the first time I've broken 100 points (and probably last time too).
Still probably not enough to move my rank into the single digits. LOL! :cool2:
-
Whew! If I was the kind of person who sweated fantasy league scores, I woulda been sweating tonight.
But I'm not, so... :wave:
-
Just a reminder - there are games on Turkey Day so make sure your lineups are set tonight or tomorrow morning!
-
Ha ha... Yeah, right, they don't play any games on a holiday. :screwy: I'll set my team Saturday when the latest injury news is out.
:wave:
-
Dammit, I wanted DeAngelo Williams, but had to take the chance he'd slip by you Kermi since Edwards would have never made it past waivers.
-
I've got Joey Harrington in both leagues. Eat it, suckas.
:cool:
-
ALL ABOARD THE JOEY TRAIN TO FANTASY SUCCESSVILLE!
-
Haha, AWESOME.
-
LOL. I thought you were going to grab Foster. Edwards was my number #2 waiver - I was hoping, but not really expecting, to get him.
Nice pickup of Harrington Jeremy.
-
Dang, what about Romo?
-
Wow...So I think Sara (Phule's Company) might take you down here Govt. 5 TDs...I hope Tampa is ashamed.
I don't know if LT can save you on this one.
-
Who the heck is Sara?
I didn't really play Joey because I expected to win with him. I watched him for 4 years in Detroit; I know better than that.
-
Wow, comparing Joey to my two normal starters (Vick and Brady) - I made the right choice :)
-
- Sara is my friend who is running the team you beat today.
-
seriously axon... my QB got less than 2 points and my defense got a fat goose egg. And I still beat you. :p
-
My defense did pretty well. Thank you Browns! :)
-
By the way, I need a QB that's worth a shit. Someone make me an offer.
-
I'll trade you Joey "Awesome" Harrington.
-
.... didn't you just get him?
-
I can maybe trade you back Hasselbeck ;)
-
.... didn't you just get him?
Well yeah, but he was a rental for this week. This week was special.
-
Fuck Hasselbeck... that fucker had one good week... ONE.
How long is Mr. Glass out for?
-
All right, but when he goes nuts for big points tonight no begging me tomorrow :D
Besides, hes had two 30+ games, and now he has Alexander back for the first time since week 2.
-
Damnit PJ. First of all, why didn't I think of putting him first (not that it'd matter) and secondly, why the hell do you need 5 RBs PJ?
-
So you can't :p
-
Not just related to THIS year's fantasy league, but jesus:
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2679016
-
Oh fuck.
-
Damnit PJ. First of all, why didn't I think of putting him first (not that it'd matter) and secondly, why the hell do you need 5 RBs PJ?
Either that or have 6 WR's or a pointless backup kicker/TE/defense. Oh, and also what cheez said ;)
-
You bastards.
-
same reason why I have 6 RBs :lol:
I'd hold onto more but 6 is the max you can have in this league
-
And yet nobody wants to trade me a good RB for one of my plethora of star WRs?!?
-
fyi if anyone wants to make use of my "pickup useless Lion busts" strategy, Mike Williams has a pretty good chance to be Detroit's starting slot receiver this week, which is the perfect place for him.
Besides Old Country Buffet, of course.
-
Holy crap... there was a game yesterday? I hope I set my teams and picks correctly.
-
I was going to say something.
But then I didn't :)
-
Haha, bad man
-
Hey, I warned everyone last week and I was mocked. I won't have that again.
-
Err.. I do believe I was mocking myself, but that was before I got buried in an avalanche of turkey so I might be remembering it completely incorrectly.
:uhyeah:
-
You hurt me, charlie. You hurt me inside.
-
Suck it up girlie man, you don't know what pain is.
-
Son of a bitch! I'm chicken. I had Norwood in as my Flex until the last second...Lord, I'm a wimp!
-
Holy shit Jen... I destroyed you and I'm not even done. And goddamn the Bears defense put up some points.
-
Is Beta actually managing his team or is he just getting lucky?
-
I just can't catch a break. Damn Reggie Bush.
-
Whoohoo, another game where my team scores a grand total of 1 touchdown!
**shuffles off to find the one player Kermi wants to grab off waivers**
-
Worst part is you'll find him :mad:...
DeAngelo Williams did kick ass though, AND he still lost the ballgame...Go Saints!
-
Back in the hunt, bitches!
-
So not that I've been bumped down to the #12 spot (which is way unfair), does anyone want any of my players?
-
Umm, yeah. If we went by points you'd be in the playoffs. :wtf:
I'm not exactly in favor of uneven trades, but if you want to make a trade that is good for both teams then cool, I'd like Barber please.
-
Yeah... this whole "division" thing is working out in my favor :D
-
For the record: PJ - your waiver pick wasn't even on my radar. Ha!
-
Not my fault you made a bad choice ;)
-
The dude with the most points (by 200! :) ) says divisions are awesome
-
?? Dude, you don't even have 200 more points than the next person in your division, let alone the entire league.
-
Fine, 150 points more than anyone in the league, and 162 over 2nd place in my division.
-
Also: ATTENTION: THERE IS A GAME TOMORROW NIGHT
-
I love you Mr. Cheez. :)
-
I love you too, Pete Rose.
-
:cough:charliehustle:cough: :thumbsup:
-
Wow, I should have caught that.
-
>:cough:charliehustle:cough:
ah, thanks for clearning that up.
I was wondering why you had strayed from the theme - makes sence now. :thumbsup:
EDIT:
my thoughts for your next obscure avatar:
(http://www.granddadshobbyshop.com/DML03304.jpg)
-
I think that might be a little too big.
-
my thoughts for your next obscure avatar:
:D I had actually thought of that, but I haven't come up with a good quote yet.
-
"Look out for me, up in the trees"
-
"Look out for me, up in the trees"
:lol: Well, that was the only quote I could come up with as well, but the original version is of course not first person. I think I'll store this info for later and we'll see what happens.
-
So apparently my trade went through only a few hours before the deadline to set rosters.
In other words, I have an empty spot on my roster.
:mad:
-
You can still start one of your receivers on your bench though can't you, you just can't start anyone who was the Pitt-Cle game.
-
Woo hoo! PJYelton has been added to the list of people I love, even if he did kick my ass at Connect Four.
And I'm an idiot for not even checking that. It hasn't exactly been a good day.
-
Wow, forgot about that connect four tournament, seems like so long ago now!
-
How do they determine the playoff seedings? I've got the same overall record as CShot, with a better divisional record, and more overall points. But he's #1 and I'm #2?
edit: Oh, I guess it's because I lost in week 5 to him. Stupid non-divisional games :mad:
-
http://www.fleaflicker.com/showLeagueRules.do?leagueId=3952&persist=leagueId in case anyone was wondering about specifics. Perhaps the division record tiebreaker only counts if you're in the same division.
-
Whoohoo, went out with a whimper having yet another game where none of my skill players scored a touchdown. And man did I guess wrong (along with the experts) about who was going to backup Chester Taylor. Pinner was like the Vikings 4th string running back.
-
That's crap then - I'm undefeated in my division, and he's not :mad:
> And man did I guess wrong (along with the experts) about who was going to backup Chester Taylor.
Same here. 5 minutes before gametime I benched Mewelde Moore, moved Brian Westbrook to an RB sport, and put Plaxico Burress in as the swing. Worked out good :)
-
Who the fuck cares, GO SAINTS
-
That's crap then - I'm undefeated in my division, and he's not :mad:
Maybe my division is just tougher than yours. Kinda like the BCS system for fantasy football. Plus, I beat you earlier in the season :lol:
#1 seed here I come. That first round BYE is gonna come in handy.
-
Phew! That was close. Sadness would have reigned had I lost on the last day and missed the playoffs.
-
Rematch ober?
-
Bring it bitch!
As things are stacking up... it would appear that I'm gonna whoop ya.
-
Yea, I execpt you will...I lost 2 RBs in one week...
-
I still got the first round bye :)
-
damnit, I dropped norwood because they said he was less likely to play...some of a bitch...
-
*yawn*
Hey guys, I just woke up, did I miss anything? Oh shit, there were games this weekend!
Wait :cool:
-
holy fuck... I almost had a heart attack when I looked at the scores... but at least kermi sucks worse than I do :)
-
By the way... I need a QB. Anyone willing to trade?
-
Yea, I'm a dumbass for not playing Ben...It's not over yet though, I still have Rudi against the Colts run D...100 yards and 2 TD's more than what Housh does is possible...
-
So I'm behind but still have Manning in the Sink league. Unfortunately, I'm further behind and playing against Manning in the CProg league. So I get to root for Manning to throw only one touchdown, while I root for Palmer to throw 3-4 touchdowns, but none to Henry. Even though I have the Bengals kicker Graham on my eSink team, I can't root for him to get field goals because that means that Palmer won't be getting touchdowns.
Fuck, this is confusing. (Great... now I'll be saying fuck all day thanks to that fucking short version of pulp fiction.)
-
gg ober...good luck playing LT...
-
I get to play ober? HOORAY!
-
:( I don't like how happy you are about that.
And hopefully my team will show up this week.
-
Son of an ass... Not only did Manning completely demolish Palmer, dashing my hopes in CProg while not helping me at all in the eSink league because I woulda won even if he had a goose egg, but the Colts have fucking home-field throughout meaning Manning won't be playing well for the eSink team as I continue on there.
In otherwords, I've been screwed twice by my own player.
-
Colts have won the division but not the first round bye, they have to keep playing to keep up with San Diego and stay ahead of the Ravens. So Manning will safely be playing the next two weeks. The poor sap who has Tomlinson though is going to get screwed in the Super Bowl game.
-
Yeah, I thought that sounded weird. One of the radio guys said that last night or so I thought, but I should have known it couldn't have been true.
Woo hoo! I still have a shot at the championship.
-
Wow, I don't really like this week.
-
Time to tango, cshot. Better bring your A-game. I'm kickin ass and takin names.
-
Hey ober, since Joey sucks, are you going to pick up Cleo Lemon now? :)
-
Joey is out.... I picked up Garcia from PHI.
-
Time to Ben Ober....cuz I'm gonna kick some ass!
-
Bitch... I'm even beating you in the projected scores. Better lube up, my friend.
-
Heh......heh....
He said lube....
-
holy tiki barber....(and yay, giants are in the playoffs)
-
I didn't even realize there was a game last night.
The Giants make the playoffs, but Coughlin's still going to get canned?
-
He should. He has absolutely no control of that team and no disciplin or respect in the locker room.
-
And you're thinking Jim Mora should keep his job?
-
Heh, the Lions couldn't even lose right. Just needed to lose and claim the top pick but instead they decided to once again screw their fans by actually winning a game. On the road against a playoff team no less.
-
If they looked like that in every game, I'd have watched more than 2 games this season.
-
WTF is going on with the officiating in the Denver/SF game? These guys need to know how to call an end of a play.
-
Hey ober, i brought some lube. Where you at?
...ober?
-
Ahhhhh...... fuck.
Congrats dude. I'll take second. :)
-
WTF is going on with the officiating in the Denver/SF game? These guys need to know how to call an end of a play.
:D
Those announcers were annoying. The officials did fine. They missed the call on the 49er fumble but acted correctly based on what they thought they saw. The only weird thing was the umpire looking at the other official instead of down at the play as it was happening.
:shrug:
Congrats CShot... well done.
-
>>And you're thinking Jim Mora should keep his job?
Jim Mora's locker room isn't making comments about it being the rest of the teas fault or the coach's fault every day. He just doesn't know how to use Vick.
Congratz CShot.
BTW - I got to go to the Saint's game yesterday. We got there late. Just in time to see Drew Brees get called off the field to a standing and confused ovation/booing. A bit of a bummer.
-
Good games all.
I'd like to put in a couple of suggestions for next season. Hopefully I'll remember to bring it up again next season.
- Make Week 16 the last game. This year turned out all right but sometimes teams sits their starters in Week 17 if they've already clinched.
- Waiver priority Can we change this in fleaflicker? I think kerm will back me up on this one.
- Trade deadlines. To prevent player dumping.
- Defensive Points Allowed. I think holding teams to say something less than 10 points should be worth something. Shutouts are worth 10 pts but holding opponents to say 3 pts is worth squat.
Think we should do fleaflicker again next year. Really like the free live scoring feature.
-
I agree on all counts. The waiver settings were awful. I had last pick (of the poeple who were picking) for weeks on end even though my players were getting hurt. I liuke yahoo!'s system that adds a rotating aspect into it a lot more. Of course, I'd give it up for live scoring...
-
Yeah, I think we'll stick with Fleaflicker... I even emailed the owner and he said they're working on a lot of stuff for next year, and player news is at the top of the list.
I'll agree on all counts above. I think all that stuff can be adjusted.
Again, congrats Cshot.
-
> Jim Mora's locker room isn't making comments about it being the rest of the teas fault or the coach's fault every day. He just doesn't know how to use Vick.
So Coughlin should be fired for losing his locker room, but Mora's allowed to fantasize on national radio about a crappy college job? OK.
-
Mora was joking, and Coughling can't hold disciplin. The giants lost because they had no disciplin. The Falcons didn't lose because Mora made a bad joke.
-
What are you talking about? The Giants won, and are in the playoffs.
Listening to that interview, it really didn't sound like a joke. I guess you know the inside of his soul since he was your neighbor and all, but the rest of the free world was pretty sure he wasn't joking. The Falcons FO sure didn't seem to think so.
-
On a brighter note, the Broncos get knocked out of the playoffs then lose a very promising young cornerback in a matter of hours :(
-
Mora was joking. It was dumb and ill spoken, but it was a joke. Did you hear his appology? I don't think Coughlin will lose his job, nor should he. But I think there's more wrong with the internals of that theam than there is in Atlanta.
It's a good thing that Mora is leaving Atl...he isn't the right coach for Vick. God only knows who is, maybe WVU's coach can come up the the big time. But Coughlin isn't working in NYG either. That team's lucky to be in the playoffs
Yea tough break for the Broncos PJ. There's always next year with your new QB.
-
You said this on the last page, re: Coughlin getting fired
He should. He has absolutely no control of that team and no disciplin or respect in the locker room.
So should he, or shouldn't he?
Never mind, don't answer.
-
you know I can't express myself coherently. I don't think he's the right coach for that team or for Eli. He spends too much time competing to be the one in charge. Maybe next year with Tiki gone he'll have a chance. I'd like to see what he can do there for one more year, but with the talent on that team, they should be much better than they are and if they don't show it, I'd look for a new coach.
-
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/football/nfl/01/04/bc.fbn.lions.verba.ap/index.html
Oh what the fuck fuck you Lions.
-
I thought for sure that would be an article on how the Lions decided to keep Millen. That's the real reason you want to give a fuck you to Detroit.
-
I saw that article but decided not to post it, because who really didn't see that coming.
Only a little over a month until pitchers and catchers report :(
-
Coughlin signs a year extension, making kermi 0 for 2006-07
-

you know I don't pay attention to things that change when I've already made up my mind on something.
