Just transfered the $10, I'm in. I usually get home right at 630pm so I hope I don't miss my first round pick. I foresee an early clockout today if possible, heh.

omahilo 09-06-06 10:39 AM

Money sent.

good luck everyone.

GTDawg 09-06-06 11:11 AM

Just remember folks...

Running backs are a dime a dozen. Just throw one in during the later rounds.
Kickers...kickers are where things are won and lost. Don't forget to go after Vandersuck or Viniclutch early to secure those needed extra points.

And above all else, both Manning brothers are going to have a down year and Kitna will be the Joey Harrington that everybody wanted Joey Harrington to be.

/what?

GeoffM 09-06-06 11:25 AM

Is anyone down to play a private sitngo whilst we play? I'm game to donate $10 on Stars in addition to the $10 entry for this.

omahilo 09-06-06 11:31 AM

BTW Manning retired...

which one?

both :)

Talking Poker 09-06-06 11:47 AM

Updated list:

Bulldawgs - gtdawg
Coolieo's Crushers -
Da Bears - jillaj
Dirty Birdz - thrash
Donquitas58 - Aeq
Funging Dominate - lightfungus
Gordogg's Chiefs - Gordogg
HolyMackerel - nflchad
LA Preds - omahilo
Mr. Monday Night - GeoffM
PokieOkie - drewjax (will pay ASAP)
Rogue - TP
RedskinsKMB - kmb
RushNAttack -BlibbityBlabbity

We need to give Coolie the boot and then decide if we should:

1. Remove the Bulldogs too (he doesn't want to pay and this would give us an even number of teams again).

or

2. Add someone else (juice) to take his spot.

Fungus - get it done. The clock is ticking. Or else give someone else access to the league, since you won't be here right before the draft starts.

GTDawg 09-06-06 11:56 AM

You know, I just realized that I play poker with Dave regularly...

I'll talk to Dave about sending you another $10 and I'll just give him some green the next time I see him or buy him a pizza or something the next time we play.

Stay tuned folks.

Talking Poker 09-06-06 12:10 PM

Now we're talking!

While you've got him, do us a favor and tell him to get Coolie out and let juice sign up, ok?

juiCe[3x] 09-06-06 05:45 PM

I'm ready to go, if its still possible to get me in.

Talking Poker 09-06-06 07:37 PM

The only one who can control this is lightfungus. With 2 hours to go, I wouldn't get my hopes up, I guess.

Sorry.

juiCe[3x] 09-06-06 07:44 PM

It's ok :thumbsup: ...Always got next year :cool:

GeoffM 09-06-06 09:08 PM

TP, money transferred.

Talking Poker 09-06-06 09:17 PM

Well, we never did get the missing team nonsense sorted out (dammit, fungus!), but oh well.... mabe we can kick him out and hand over his autodrafted team to juice if he wants it.

14 minutes until the first pick, which if I'm reading this right will go to Coolie, of course. So long, Shaun Alexander. Lucky me gets to draft 12th. That sucks.

Talking Poker 09-06-06 09:18 PM

Dammit! Fungus never even got rid of the W/R. Grrrrrrrr..........

Worst... commissioner... ever!

lightfungus 09-06-06 11:21 PM

Transfered.

GeoffM 09-06-06 11:30 PM

Early blockbuster trade proposal for Bulldawg.

lightfungus 09-07-06 01:38 AM

Personally, I think its not bad to have with 8...8!!! bench spots. Otherwise what the hell do you do with 8 bench spots but quadruple guess yourself into picking the wrong third WR for that week. But I am sorry I dropped the ball!!!

drewjax 09-08-06 09:38 PM


Details?????

thrash1294 09-09-06 12:18 AM

I kinda like the slasher anyway :cool:
You always can find a kck returner to help you out when your players suck:thumbsup:

Talking Poker 09-10-06 06:32 PM

I really hate defenses in Fantasy Football. Take my matchup today: I had Tampa Bay who was playing Baltimore (in real life and in my FF matchup). The Bucs got me 1 point. Baltimore? 25. Gotta love that.

Also, I thought we were doing 1 point for every 10 yards for TEs, but I guess I was wrong, because I don't see that anywhere. That had Gonzo leaving quite a few points on my bench today.

BTW - I love how my opponent has 97 points right now, and the next highest score in the entire league is 42. You know, MINE.

Fantasy Football is rigged.

GeoffM 09-10-06 06:47 PM

Chicago is shuting out GB right now or I'd have a very comfortable lead on the commish.

jillaj 09-10-06 07:06 PM


You had to know when you plays against Da Bears that we were gonna bring some kick ass D. You did have some tough luck starting off aganist me. I really like this real time scoring feature though.

Talking Poker 09-10-06 07:32 PM

We had it last year too... but it was only "Free" for a week or so. I'm not sure if they will be turning it off again this year or not.

GTDawg 09-10-06 09:38 PM

Wow, could my two top receivers get any more yards without scoring TDs...

My starting quarterback gets taken off on a stretcher and half my players take a week off.

BlibbityBlabbity 09-10-06 10:23 PM

Yeah, there are links on the League main page to ugrade the whole eague to StatTracvker and I think to upgrade individually. The individual upgrade is $9.99.

Not sure if I'll spring for it, but it is nice.

omahilo 09-11-06 01:22 AM

what are the payouts for the league?

we paying just 1st place or doing 1st and 2nd place or even a 3rd place payout?

Talking Poker 09-11-06 02:35 AM

I've been meaning to bring this up again. I say we either do 70/30 (%) or 50/25/15/10.

Yeah, 70/30 is easier.

What does everyone else think?

BTW - drewjax still needs to pay.

omahilo 09-11-06 09:55 AM

I dont care, whichever is fine with me.

jillaj 09-11-06 11:07 AM

I like the 70/30.

lightfungus 09-11-06 01:42 PM

Dittofied.

Talking Poker 09-11-06 02:01 PM

70/30 it is. Assuming drewjax pays, we will have 13 teams paid for, plus stupid Coolie on autopilot (is there nothing we can do about that???).

That's $130, so we'll break it down $90/$40 for 1st and 2nd.

GTDawg 09-18-06 10:42 AM

Can we start a Fantasy Football season thread? I sent a PM to the one team I knew about a trade, but a thread for trades and such would be good instead of searching through this one for names/teams/people to pm.

GeoffM 09-18-06 11:30 AM

Week 2, I'm about to lose again to a DEF.

GTDawg 09-18-06 11:48 AM

You know what you should do...trade for a defense.

Find someone that has two solid Ds and is looking for some running help...

GeoffM 09-18-06 01:24 PM

Nah, but Fitz for Gore and we got a deal.

Talking Poker 09-18-06 01:27 PM

Sure... seems silly to keep this one going forever. We've got the league set up now - I assumed this would die.

drewjax 09-19-06 05:05 PM

TP,

sent you the $10.

Talking Poker 09-19-06 08:05 PM

Got it.

drewjax 09-19-06 08:19 PM

I would definately vote for paying 4 spots. Its a long season, and you have to make it to superbowl to get paid at all. Just my opinion. I am down for the bubble either way!

BTW, I SHOULD be 2-0. I'll call it 1-1*. F'n MUSHED.
