Settings are mostly the same as last year, except I dumped the option for defenses to go subzero and extended the trade deadline. Starting off with 12 teams, but we can go bigger if necessary.

Live draft is August 29th at 9pm ET. As always, that can be changed as the date approaches.

Yes, it's still more than three months until kickoff, but I like to get in there early. Look! We got a league number <10k.

i'm in

Snrub! Why'd you back out?

I don't know if I have the time to do it this year, so I figured I'd back out for now and wait awhile to see if things settle down.

lol @ "sack weeden everyday"

im p proud of that, altho i hope he does well tbh

in

u jerks are going down

just bring it *sad flex*

Your live online draft is set for Wed Aug 29 6:00pm PDT [ Add to My Calendar ], which is 48 days, 19 hours, and 49 minutes from now.

It's dumb to be excited this far out, right?

No.

In other news: I'm back in, baby!!

i'm taking wheedon, snrub. just some heads up

also colt mccoy

draft is 3 est on a wkday? or is that just a placeholder & like real times havent opened yet<?

Naw, it's at 9 EDT, 6 PDT.

oh cool thx for changing it

(joeks bruv, sry im dumb)

my money league is live drafting (which i've never done before) august 2
i need to study; that's way too early

who won last year? we should dump results into the thread each year for posterity. i can't even remember if i made the playoffs - i experienced the full horror of yahoo autodraft for the first time. no way i am anywhere else but in front of my pc come 9et aug 29, typing shit into a small box, colour coded excel spreadsheet being totally ignored in another window.

I didn't come in last, iirc, but I didn't make the playoffs.

This is just rude:

No Medals Yet...

Amazingly, Brownie has not earned ANY medals in this league.

User: Brownie
Date earned: N/A

it is pretty amazing considering everything (intellect, acumen etc)

i drafted today in my live league with 12 folks. 1/2 pt PPR, 2 qbs, head coach position (win by 17+ get points, lose by 17+ lose points)
i drafted 11th and here's my haul

QB - Cam Newton, Peyton Manning, Matt Flynn
WR - Victor Cruz, Demaryius Thomas, Malcolm Floyd, Reggie Wayne, Santana Moss
RB - Darren Sproles, Ahmad Bradshaw, Lawfirm, LeRon McClain (I was drunk by this point), Danny Woodhead
TE - Brandon Pettigrew, Joel Dreesen,
DEF - Green Bay (trusting in the draft)
K - Matt Prater
Coach - Gary Kubiak

We've got our dozen for the league. Is everyone sure they want to hang around? If so, I found out I can go ahead and generate a random draft order early so we can plan for the draft accordingly.

Random generated draft order:

1. 	  	___
2. 	  	illuminati INT
3. 	  	Suhmmertime Blues
4. 	  	Mr. Snrub
5. 	  	The Trent Affair
6. 	  	saint boba fett
7. 	  	sack weeden everyday
8. 	  	U Didn't Bills That
9. 	  	the great jay cutler
10. 	  	balls
11. 	  	TEAM NAME
12. 	  	iatee

i'd like to get in this if possible

Okay, if we get a 14th, I'll scratch this order and open it back up.

i will exit so jordan can get in, currently i don't seem to be able to delete myself tho

u don't wanna play?

It's cool. I need to unlock the teams (had to lock them to generate a random draft).

I think you should unlock it and generate another random draft

I did. When cad drops out and J0rdan hops in, I'll lock it and run the draft order generator again.

perfect

i don't wanna kick anyone out!

naw it's cool i'm just gonna stick to my irl life league i think

in real life life league

k i'm out, get in there and make me proud

registered for this

Revised draft order:

1. 	  	illuminati INT
2. 	  	The Trent Affair
3. 	  	balls
4. 	  	U Didn't Bills That
5. 	  	Suhmmertime Blues
6. 	  	sack weeden everyday
7. 	  	j0rdan s
8. 	  	the great jay cutler
9. 	  	iatee
10. 	  	Mr. Snrub
11. 	  	saint boba fett
12. 	  	TEAM NAME

shit, I get 1st pick.

obv tebow

no, the Illuminati would take a Harvard man

i swear tebow got picked fourth round in my money league.
the collective groan was loud and heartfelt

If Ryan Fitz went 1st overall, this would be the greatest fantasy draft on earth.

I'll have my front office work on it

One week from tonight! I have done no prep at all. CHAOS DRAFT 2012!

non-ILNFL draft Q

Hey, are there any draft secrets to building a team in a dynasty league? Do I draft for future performance 1 or 2 seasons from now like a GM would, or what? I'm going into one of these tonight with not-enough prep work and I'm thinking I'll be permanently screwed in this league if I blow this draft.

I would draft QB/TE/WR early, then take RBs later on. The latter get hurt a lot more often than the former, and nothing kills a dynasty team like a torn ACL.

I say draft best available player and let everyone else out-think themselves.

Doesn't matter tonight, as it turns out. Yahoo is fuxored.

i always wanted to do a dynasty league. we should try one next year

Dynasty draft rescheduled for Thursday night. ILNFL's draft is still on for TONIGHT, and I'm gonna lay waste to all you fuckers! (Not really, but I need to warm up my smack talk muscles.)

i did some hefty pre-ranking, as i suddenly have dinner plans that i cant really ditch. still, prob good chance im home by draft time or closely after

i will be drunk for this

wait, is there an ilnfl dynasty league?

he means his own dynasty league, i think

Yeah, we can do a dynasty league for ilnfl next year if enough people are interested.

aw shit this is 6 pacific? I thought it was 6 est
9pm? Fuck, no going out tonight i guess

If it were 6 eastern, poor west coasters would have to draft in the middle of the weekday afternoon.

got my pre draft booze and post draft weed

pizza en route, beer cold, nanny corralling the baby

I am in the big apple store in nyc cause I can't do this at home for technical reasons, that is how dedicated I am

'call me maybe' is playing

SO DRUNK

got the scoop from the bartenders boyfriend.

iatee = champion

maybe one of the apple geniuses could offer you some draft advice

MCCOY

isn't vick going cut into mccoy's tds?

he meant colt
i gotta make some guac

nervous again

22 MINUTES

draft window loading
getting second beer

he meant colt

lool

MAYBE

CALL ME

great job no one drafting sanchez, guys

I was relatively happy with my draft until I saw how many people are on the mend and may not even be ready in Week 1. As bad as I am at this, I can't believe I actually managed to win the league a few years ago.

shit, brad smith is still in on the bills
draft failure

i dunno, kind of a B draft. could get everything or absolutely nothing from my rbs. decent starting wrs but thin on depth. two pretty good fantasy qbs that i didn't have to reach for. i've got some work to do during the season tho, that is for sure. first thing is figure out who to drop so i can get a kicker.

yahoo thinks i'll tie vs illuminati, weird

you are illuminati

here are yahoo's current projections.
thankfully it ignores klosterman's fondness for ties

fuck i lost in penalty kicks

can't wait to actually finish in fourth

my penchant for cagy vets and browns players will pay off this year~

my regret tracker should simply state - don't start three different bills

http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/9230/recap?week=1&mid1=4&mid2=10

btw - is this the first year they offer these weekly recaps?

wow, that's an awesome feature

"patritos cool branch would have lost to every other team in the league besides iatee this week."

score!

yeah i'm pretty sure this is new, great addition

Oh man, that thing is merciless.

j0rdan s dismantled U Didn't Bills That 189.86 - 117.13 while also putting up the highest point total in the league this week.

U Didn't Bills That Regret Tracker

Left Alshon Jeffery on the bench, where he scored 12.08 points and beat his projected point total by 495.1%, the second-highest percentage in the league this week.
Adrian Peterson was left on the bench, where he bested his expected 11.58-point total by putting up 25.10 points.
Left Alex Smith on the bench, where he led the team in scoring with 27.99 points.
At the DEF position, U Didn't Bills That got outscored by j0rdan s 14.00 - 5.00.
U Didn't Bills That had 7 of their 13 starters score less than their projected points.

lol yahoo scores a zing

f u yahoo

oh well I will have the most BADGES by the end of the season and isn't that what fantasy football is really about

best draft from an apple store

Michael Vick ranked second in the league in scoring with 41.88 points.

something may be wrong here

does our league award points to QBs for interceptions? just checking

j0rdan s was able to cover the 23.09-point spread in the win.

lol

No, but that would be funny.

Offense 	League Value 	Yahoo! Default Value
Completions 	.25 	0
Passing Yards 	25 yards per point; 3 points at 250 yards 	
Passing Touchdowns 	6 	4
Rushing Attempts 	.25 	0
Rushing Yards 	10 yards per point; 3 points at 125 yards 	
Rushing Touchdowns 	6

the time graph is maybe the best part

oh i didn't realize we had points for completions. glad andy reid had vick throw 56 times then.

do I play cam or p manning next week? cam right?

heh, i have them both in my money league (it's a 2 qb league) and manning did better.

yeah he did better here too but cam gets points even when they lose horribly

sounds like it's about who they're playing

I have a potential dilemma moving forward with stafford and Griffin. Gonna have to roll w staff for now but damn.

"balls hit their projections"

the great jay cutler 164.55
saint boba fett 164.59

brutal

yeah no kidding - i guess i posted this in wrong thread:

unbelievable scenes in the bnw vs omar matchup, finishing with the 2 highest scores on the weekend so far and separated by just 0.04. stat corrections are possible thru thursday...

I almost plugged Curtis lofton in for Patrick Peterson too, which would've netted me +2.85 pts iirc

Probably should not start a qb against SF IMO

I have the fewest points-for yet I'm 2-1

law of averages etc

Anybody with any packers offensive players should start them this week. They're gonna be rackin up some yards.

fyi, dropping colt mccoy

anyone intersted in offering something for either celek or martellus bennett? i prob shdnt carry both these dudes

also, is there some way we can change it so free agency doesnt close @ the thurs game? my other yahoo league is set up that way. it's p dumb if say you all of a sudden learn on sat that the 1 kicker u carry isnt active or w/e

seconded

Is that what happens? I'll fix it.

Done.

yeah, it's probably always been this way but never noticed before cuz thursday games didn't come in until much later in the season.

man I've been getting lucky

I finally got my first win. I won't hold my breath for the next.

Undefeated, bitches.

you used a comma where you meant to use a colon i think

what the

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v212/etienne_saint/ScreenShot2012-10-14at24907PM_zpsa8fba8ec.png

that is barely grammatical

haha

i can't believe i'm getting shit-talked by a bottle of miller lite on my fantasy page.

i hate the internet.

I feel like in a few years things will be well connected enough that you will have to suffer text msgs, tv commercials, maybe even billboards that make fun of your fantasy losses

holographs who walk down the street past you and only reveal themselves as ads when they say, "hey guy too bad you lost by five points last night, guess mister snrub was drinking his MGD when he drafted."

jordan buys add space each season with every permutation of points for every game

'sup

are we able to add/drop players on monday now?

how the fuck is this a 2-5 team???? fuck fantasy football

Tony Romo, Dal QB

RB Trent Richardson, Cle RB Q

RB Alfred Morris, Wsh RB

WR Brandon Marshall, Chi WR
WR Reggie Wayne, Ind WR

TE Aaron Hernandez, NE TE P

D/ST Giants D/ST D/ST

hello 6 and 1

The year I won this league was a complete fluke. I have sucked every other year.

anyone else having trouble getting onto yahoo fantasy? can't access my team on iphone or on the computer for some reason.

it's at least vv slow today

yeah they've been having server issues all day, lotta pissed off ppl on twitter

seems a nightmare to fix for commissioners also cuz obv 'i wasn't able to set my lineup' is a legit complaint but then how do you prevent 'i was totally gonna bench brady in favor of andy dalton' shenanigans?

i hate to jump to rash conclusions, but losing to a team with 5 starters on bye week is possibly an indication that glory will elude me this year.

Replacement Rex (8-1, 1,371.54 points) took one from illuminati INT (3-6, 1,297.46 points) 144.20 - 144.10 in a matchup with several lead changes.

that's only the second-closest score of the year too, saint boba fett beat me in week 2 164.59 - 164.55~

i got murdered last week

about the rex - illuminati game I swear I initially won the game (and even saw the recap) but by then end of the week they stat corrected the point totals, specifically DeAngelo Hall getting credited an additional point for blocking a kick

obliviously my guys were pissed and were ready to murder whomever they faced next
which was brownie

Five of the seven losses for brownie this season have come when their opponent had their highest-scoring week of the season.

>:[

Owning u foolz

I've never finished a fantasy season in dead last, so I guess I have a new goal.

hi dere
11 - 1

playoff picture:

replacement rex, the great jay cutler, weeden my brownies, iatee, and saint boba fett are in. i think brownie is in with a win, illuminati INT is in if sack weeden every day loses (and vice versa?) and the winner of balls vs j0rdan is in for sure (and both are in if neither brownie and SWE win.)

i think.

amazing bryce brown pickup just in time for the playoffs by iatee

it made up for losing gronk

we'll see how long the magic lasts

I had one of my best weeks of the season and you beat me. Sums up my ff year, tbh.

you had the best team name, what else really matters

congrats, brownie.

still need two points from my corner back! don't give up the ship M. Snrub

Upsets all over the first round

@fivethirtyeight
My sh*t doesn't work in the fantasy football playoffs.

woulda won if I played cam over peyton :(

from the recap:

Down 28.30 on Monday night, illuminati INT came back to beat Replacement Rex 151.48 - 142.38. illuminati INT took advantage of 37.18 points from Matt Ryan and 30.10 from Knowshon Moreno. This upset came when it counted, serving as revenge for a Week 9 144.20 - 144.10 tight loss to Replacement Rex.

after this win I don't really care about the rest of the playoffs
Its like how I felt after the bills beat the pats last season and then went to shit

yeah yeah yeah
should've played mike wallace is all

heckuva job brownie

:-0

looks like two 5-8 teams for all the marbles

6-8

we're just peaking when it counts

even if I started kaepernick (fuck Matthew stafford 4 life IMO) I'd have lost.

my chance at a dynasty ruined! let my tombstone read: what kind of universe is it where i should have started romo in the playoffs?

ahem

a potential dynasty!
