Despite my protests before the beginning of last year's season about how big a league forks wanted, it turned out to be pretty fun (even if I did come in 11th out of 14 teams). I left all of those settings intact. I don't remember if we wanted to change anything or not, but you can all look over what's there and debate it. Also, the current live draft is set for Monday September 5th at 7:30pm ET. That can also be changed if needed closer to draft time.
Now, let's just cross our fingers for a season to actually take place.

i dunno what the availability is like but it would be real handy for me if we could draft late aug instead of early sep.
― Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 25 July 2011 19:21 (thirteen years ago)
That could be possible. Right now, the date is just a placeholder until we come to some kind of consensus.

It's at 11 right now, and it has to be an even number for everything to work.

Hello all - kebya back from the past. Yes, would love to right the ship and be more competitive this year, if y'all will have me back.
― kebya, Monday, 1 August 2011 18:04 (thirteen years ago)
I am totally down with the league having a lot of teams, but I remember there being some pushback on that last year.

is there any interest in a negative-points league again? I found that pretty entertaining...
― iatee, Monday, 1 August 2011 18:32 (thirteen years ago)
I wish there was a fantasy software than let you do fiddle with the stats enough to make that work. I enjoyed the negative league but wish it was a better reflection of the worst players in the league. Yahoo and NFL.com both don't work right for negatives.

kebya can join as soon as we confirm a 16th. I don't want to let him in and then have to cut someone loose at draft time so we can go ahead.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 1 August 2011 23:01 (thirteen years ago)
That's fair - but I went and signed upon the ESPN link, should I remove my team until your prior commitments sign up?
― kebya, Tuesday, 2 August 2011 00:03 (thirteen years ago)
The negative points league is a total different thing.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 2 August 2011 00:07 (thirteen years ago)
if someone ends up dropping out of this, i'll take a slot. i'm leaving my pay league this year (i moved, and they're switching to an auction, so i decided not to bother) so i'm available for something new
― Mordy, Tuesday, 2 August 2011 01:39 (thirteen years ago)
If you and kebya join, that will take it to 16 teams. I balked at 14 teams last year, but it ended up being fun. I'm slightly and privately balking at 16, but it will probably be fun anyway.
Anyone at all have a problem with 16 teams? If not, I'll open another two slots.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 2 August 2011 02:35 (thirteen years ago)
OK - removed myself from the ESPN league, let me know if you open slots 15 & 16 for this league. Thanks Mr. Fever.
― kebya, Tuesday, 2 August 2011 16:16 (thirteen years ago)
Go for it!
― generous doler out of lollies (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 16:51 (thirteen years ago)
Bumped it up to 16 now for Mordy and kebya only. If anyone else tries to sneak in, I'll cut you (with a dull knife)!

Drafted in a second 10-team league last night and worthwhile players were disappearing left and right. Can't imagine how much barrel scraping there is to be done in our 16-team league.
So, can everyone agree on a date?
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 17 August 2011 15:29 (thirteen years ago)
might be tough 2 coordinate 16 ppl
i could do 8/29 or 8/30
or the current date is actually fine w/ me

Aaron Rodgers 64.17
is that it is up against
Joe Flacco -0.23
which i think everyone can enjoy, even the person who owns flacco. oh wait, that's me.

not to brag BUT i would've beaten spiralls tonight w/ solely rodgers & forte

maybe woodson can house a TD for me

Only ten defenses has accumulated more points than Brandon Tate. It's rough out there.

It's true that I've had some discussions with Omar Little about wasting everyone's time, but I've been advised by my lawyer to say nothing more about the matter.

Testimony to my luck this season (besides being the most scored-against team): in a world of negative-point defenses, I pick up a D (Bills) that scores me a whopping 25 points, only to have my opponent's D score 29!

you have definitely drawn a lot of short straws. Still pissed about you getting demarco tho

Then-again, there have been plenty of luckless people this year. Examples include owners of Jamal Charles, Chris Johnson, Peyton Manning (OK, you were forewarned on that one), any Colt WR, any Jet RB, etc. Long live Fred Jackson!

Hester, Burress or Nate Washington this week?I'm thinking hester just because of the return yards but Burress might just have a big day
― google sluething so hard right now (forksclovetofu), Friday, 4 November 2011 17:49 (thirteen years ago)
i don't know... i'm still really skeptical about burress. touchdowns are really fickle unless you're like megatron or andre johnson and even last week he didn't really do anything outside of the 10 yard line so idk. but it's not like the other 2 guys are that great. i don't see hester doing much on the receiving end vs the eagles.
― J0rdan S., Friday, 4 November 2011 17:51 (thirteen years ago)
thing about hester is he'll either unexpectedly drop 27 pts or give you 4 pts. nate wash had those 2 tds but not many catches, right? i think the best receivers will get you good pts even without TDs, wash and plax w/o the tds aren't spectacular. i dunno.
― omar little, Friday, 4 November 2011 18:01 (thirteen years ago)
i feel like hester is kinda guaranteed to come through with 7 or 8 points and burress or washington could goose egg or put up 18.
― google sluething so hard right now (forksclovetofu), Friday, 4 November 2011 18:03 (thirteen years ago)
i think you're right about hester being shutdown offensively though i imagine he'll be targeted. i do think he'll put up 100+ return yards tho
― google sluething so hard right now (forksclovetofu), Friday, 4 November 2011 18:05 (thirteen years ago)
yeah i'd go w/ hester. the return yards will be there and he should be able to pick up some receiving yards as well. that's about as solid as you can hope for out of those 3 guys.
― J0rdan S., Friday, 4 November 2011 18:06 (thirteen years ago)
hester is the safe bet, plus he might nab a lucky deep td a la devery hendu.

Hey gang, don't know if other people are seeing this as well, but the add/drop seems not to be working. As of 12:05PM NYC we aren't allowed to add or drop players until after this weekend (Nov. 9th). Guess it must have to do with their programming and Daylight Savings Time. I tried to add David Hawthorne and drop Sean Lee (just announced as out) and it won't let me. Anyone else seeing this?

― polyphonic, Thursday, 17 November 2011 23:01 (thirteen years ago)
palmer imo, he has scored well in his 2 starts. niners prob won't need to throw. newton has highest upside but biggest gamble. if you are desperate for a result go all in with newton.
― Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, 17 November 2011 23:37 (thirteen years ago)
Newton's rushing adds so much, that's why I struggle with this.
