ILNFL™ FANTASY 2009 (This year it won't be fuX0red up)

pw: motherfavrer

Live draft will be (Thu) August 20, 2009 8:00P EDT (but can be changed if needed).

Using the default Yahoo! roster +2 DPs, modest return yard rushing points (1 per 20yds), 10 teams, no all-or-nothing waiver times (1 day). The only thing that (still) sucks about Yahoo is no live scoring w/o a subscription, but I'll probably pay the $10 for it anyway and post scores here on Sunday nights.

PLZ DON'T ORPHAN YOUR TEAM IF YOU SIGN UP.

modest return yard rushing points (1 per 20yds)

I know this is more sensible, but boy was it fun getting a point for every 10 of Leon Washington's return yards last year.

Jesus Christ, it's barely June!

^^^ I KNOW! I thought I'd just check in to see when registrations started and BANG they were already open.

i'll probably do this this year.

who's the commish?

You picked a good year to sit out (between going with an odd roster configuration and other inherent weirdities at the ESPN game), so welcome back.

I guess I am? I'll gladly co-commish tho.

i'm in

I'm still kind of annoyed about a trade that went on in 07 that never sat right with me. You want to take me on as co-commish?

i am definitely in for more punishment but FUCK RETURN YARDS imho

I'm in, and I DEMAND RETURN YARDS imho

i vote fuck 'em

i vote fuck idp too btw

hmmm, i <3 idp. looks like we got ourselves a mexican standoff.

tbh, i wasn't necessarily saying get rid of return yards. just fuck 'em is all. FUCK EM TO HELL AND BACK.

hahahah

a trade that went on in 07

Still?! Yeah, a hell of a lot of good Carson Palmer ended up doing me too (I can't remember who the other player was). But I'm out of the shady trade business.

You're in if you want it.

i hold a fantasy grudge. Okay, I'll join in and co-mmish if you'll have me.

Return yards at least help out when you got the shaft on RBs, or during a bye. Last year at 1pt per 10yds, though, they were screwing with regularity (elite WRs were getting blown out by kick returners and shit). Everything's gonna be all square this year, because by week 3 or 4 last year, I wasn't even having fun anymore with that retarded roster arrangement and bizarro return yardage points. ILNFL 2008 NEVER HAPPENED! ;)

yeah 1 pt/20 yds is good if we're gonna do it.

i was in a league that had that problem a couple years ago w/r/t terrance mcgee

1 for 20 sounds right

Appears to be no co-commishing in Yahoo! world, so I'll turn over the reigns as draft day approaches.

obligatory minor quibbles:

fumbles and INTs should both be -2 at least

Tackle Solo 2
Tackle Assist 1
Sack 1
these seems kinda wacky. maybe sack=2, tack=1, asst=0.5?

so happy to be done with those crummy roster settings from last year.

whoa yeah those tackle points are not ok!

Not a fan of XTREME DP scoring?

not sure. i'm going to google "extreme dp" and then i'll get back to you.

I loved the first year playing IDP, and finishing a week with a linebacker getting 30 points, but whatevs you guys.

Srsly, I don't care if we end up going with modest scoring there too.

i think an idp should be worth as much as your average RB/WR slash position guy tbh

i was talking more about relative proportion than actual magnitude. like, a sack should be worth more than a regular ol' tackle, no? i am all for asst=1 tack=2 sack/int=4. bring it baby.

i really don't want MLBs getting like a reliable 20 pts/week

Changed to:

Sack = 2
Tackle Solo = 1
Tackle Asst = 1 (I hate fractional scoring)

will cosign on that, but i'd put an assist as .5 regardless of your mathemagic phobia

yeah it's not like anyone is asking you to do the math yrself tbf

haha

Alright statisticionistsesses...you got your fractional points now.

I want a slot!!!!

Why aren't we doing it on ESPN tho where the live scoring is free?

The innerworkings of the ESPN mechanism are unsatisfactory re: waiver times and some other semi-important thing which I can't remember right now.

Ok, so how do I join?

Link goes to some join custom, browse custom thing. How do I find our league?

Sorry, it's been a while since I set it up...forgot all the hoops.

League id = 48716
Password = motherfavrer

I thought I'd signed up last month, but then I remembered I was waffling at the time. Went ahead and signed up just now...just 10 teams? Should be a nice deep league.

There was a problem

* This league is full. (Error #221)

OUTRAGEOUS

I don't mind dropping out, since I'm still not 100% sure I want to play this year, but on the other hand 12 teams doesn't spread the peanut butter much thinner than 10 teams.

whoa I missed this, good luck to all and may all your players be Browns

make up your mind

I think it can still be bumped up to 12 maybe, but that's the point where it really starts to spread that peanut butter.

ok I'm out.

for some reason in one of my fantasy leagues they're showing GB as already having defeated DET 26-0?

yeah someone saw this in our pickem league too

if that's actually the final score today that would be fucked up

man travels back in time to hack yahoo, fuck with our headz

i couldn't move any of my detroit players and it's not kickoff yet, wtf? oh well

jon beason had 17 tackles and a fumble recovery

Of course I had Santonio Holmes on teh bench this week. He's been a dud for weeks, and now that the 3rd qb is in he gets to the endzone. FML

180 points!! season high, bitches!!

wau

daria beat me this week thanks to a player I trader her before week 1. grr!

oh well. i think overall the manning/mcnabb trade isn't working out in my favor

o man, i needed this win to stay in contention in my money league and it came down to Randy Moss vs. John frickin' Carney and Carney pulled it out!
next week is win and get in, lose and get bounced.

this was my first year doing a fantasy team. it's been a horrible disaster.

2 wins so far.

as owner, i stepped in and fired myself and coach and then promoted myself from defensive coordinator to interim head coach. i hope the team will rally around this decision.

I had a bad year my first year, but then I won the whole shebang my second year. You're speed-learning right now.

i have some of the year's big fantasy busts on my roster: westbrook, jacobs (kinda a bust), eddie royal from denver, anquan boldin, marshawn lynch

man, you ain't kidding about jacobs

the first time i participated in fantasy football i drafted a lot of question mark kinda guys based on past performance alone (all of those guys had big question marks before the season imo, for various reasons.) once you've gone through a season of it, though, you start to recognize guys to hunt for and you can avoid past mistakes. though we all make them, a lot of it has to do with luck. i was lucky enough to pick brady as my QB in the third round in the year when he tossed 50 TDs and unlucky enough to draft him in the first round last year.

my QB's (collins, palmer and cutler) are brutal plus I only have one real RB (Pierre Thomas). i have a top notch receiving corps which has kept me in ball games - I should've traded at least of them this year for some help

*one

i'll give you rofflesberger for palmer and a decent wideout ;)

I took a flyer on Adrian Peterson his rookie year (my second time playing, got him 3rd or 4th round), and that was pretty much what locked me into a league championship title.

i picked up priest holmes in round 12 or something the first year he went off for the chiefs. i rode him to the title.

one thing that i really learned was that dudes like westbrook and boldin that are constantly "questionable" on the injury report make it damn near impossible to manage your team...i'm staying clear of dudes like that next year, it's such a headache.

one nice surprise for me this year has been:

donald driver

my major headache has been Owen Daniels getting aced, Slaton starting slow and Matt Ryan being a bummer.

I'm glad I'm already in the playoffs, because my dudes were all asleep today (the dudes I have left, anyway).

160+ points today. I'm going out in style.

Waivers was hung up in the Yahoo mechanism somehow this week, and the only way I could jog it was to push everyone's waiver date to tomorrow or sack them altogether. So... lotsa free agents now.

that is weird, waivers went thru fine in my other yahoo league

Well, it looks like it didn't send players with pending claims on them into free agency anyway, so hopefully they'll bump through tomorrow.

colts game sure lit up the playoffs

so glad i started peyton

I have MJD and Dallas Clark on my team in another league, so it was a great night. Wish I had them in this one, though.

Now I understand why people hoard good players throughout the season even if they never use them. I could use just one half-decent running back right now, because Ronnie Brown went down and the Colts never used Donald Brown as much predicted in the preseason. Now I'm stuck with a revolving door on two slots of guys who usually perform well the week before I pick them up off waivers.

My ILNFL season is as good as over now. Congrats players who do better than me! You earned it.

damn 135 points but no win. jerome harrison sits on my bench :(

Fuck this gay earth.

whoa, some upsets in the playoffs

looks like the RomoDJ's vs the Moreno's in the finals.

she makes it look easy

yeah, screw that!

daria is stealth.

it definitely hurt that i had to start beanie wells & jason snelling at RB for the last few weeks b/c of michael turner's injury and unsuccessful attempts to hurriedly return from said injury. eff him!
