The season is almost upon us... Thank god! Any of our metrojax folks play fantasy football? I have played Yahoo and ESPNs games before and have enjoyed it. I dont really have time to participate in full blown drafts or administer a league... I usually let the computer pick from my list of prefered players etc.
Any interest?
I played for the first time last season. I am not hardcore, but it makes games you wouldn't normally care about interesting. If someone starts something up, I would be interested.
I would opt for the Yahoo league default and have the auto pick draft... it is very easy and NOT hardcore.
This was brought up last year, but didn't go anywhere.
Does anyone have any interest in a Metrojacksonville fantasy football league. I will start up a league and send out the invites if there are enough interested people.
I'm hardcore. I've been playing for money for over a decade now.
I'll play if theres room.. I'm in a $200 league now, but this one would be fun too!
What's at stake? Bragging rights?
Let me know!
My best friend (an occasional MetroJacksonville lurker, also here in Va) and I have started up a league and are looking for more players. It's a Yahoo league with the autopick draft, so all you'd need to join is a Yahoo account. We don't play for money. If everyone would just like to join that you're more than welcome to do so. Please send me an e-mail or a message at my Facebook page if you're interested. I'd be glad to be in contact with everyone from MJ as Facebook friends anyway. Hopefully this works for taking you to my Facebook profile: http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/profile.php?id=1220606673. If not, my not very secret identity is David Damiani and my Jacksonville affiliations are obvious from the profile picture.
I haven't played in a few years but would like to join if possible.
My good friend runs ff for ESPN up in CT and could give us a full access league for free if that's the route everyone wants to go...
How many more people do you need Wacca?
We have 8, but 3 or 4 of them are not particularly involved players (e.g., two of my buddy's daughters and one friend who often forgets to update rosters), so it'd be nice to have a few more so we can have more competition and also be able to have a weekly head-to-head system rather than a year-long highest score system.
Well I am in two leagues and want to do three. So if there aren't enough people from Metrojacksonville to create a league, I will join to help fill out your league.

That'd be great. Thanks.
I'd be interested
I'm down for a metjax league. I'm in a few on espn this season, did a yahoo league a few years ago.
Do we want to do an actual scheduled draft or just let the computer pick them out so we don't have to spend the 4 hours drafting?
I can go either route. I'm already in a money league that will be having a live draft in a few weeks. I haven't played in a computer selected draft in years but that may level the playing field for those who don't have as much experience in this as others.
I've done a live draft using Yahoo the past few years...it takes less than 2 hours with 10 teams.
either is fine with me. a live draft isnt that long if you shorten the time per pick. but in auto-pick would even the playing field.
I'd rather a live draft personally. I'm game.
Count me in. I've run a free yahoo league at work for the past 5 years and usually join an extra public league as well.

If you are on this list and are not interested let me know. I think 12 would be the max we could do. Once we have a full league. We can vote on how to do the draft, live or auto.
I enjoy the game... it makes Sunday that much more enjoyable. I have only played on casual leagues where I rank my players pre draft and the let the computer make the picks. After the picks are made I sharpen the roster with undrafted and waiver players...
That said... I am game for a casual league as described above.... Yahoo etc... :)
Lucas, you can count me in
Sign up bucket, if there is room.
Years ago I was in a fairly hardcore money league but lost interest after a few seasons. Too much like work.
I like the more nonchalant leagues. Just update the roster and try to keep your roster manned if injury occurs.
If I gotta study to watch football... I'm taking it way to seriously.
We have room for one more person.

I plan on setting up the league tonight using Yahoo. Please say whether you want a live online draft or auto if you haven't done so already. If you said either, I put you down as voting for live. If we do a live online draft I was thinkinkg the evening of the 29th.
Live draft and the 29th works for me...
me too
How would you feel about upping the field. I just had a league canceled. I'm in if you can fit me.
Either works for me. The 29th for a live draft works as well.
I'm good for the 29th....if you decide to expand the league to 14 teams (usually the max. that can be done), then "cline" would also be interested in participating.
Not to exclude anyone but... after 12 teams it's almost impossible to make moves.
I have never done 14. Does anyone else have insight on how difficult is to make moves. I know with baseball, a 14 team usually takes more skill since you have to dive deeper into the pool for players. If this is to be more casual 14 might be to many.
I am an auto draft kind of guy... I like live draft but am unable to set aside the time to do it.
Ahh.. The 29th doesn't work for me for Live.. but I'm cool with you guys still going ahead with the draft, I can just rank my guys and let the computer auto-pick for me.
It does matter how many players are competing, due to limited talent, but the way to counteract that is to limit the bench spots.
Example: 12 team league with 8 bench spots - 204 total positions to fill for the league, 14 team leauge with 5 bench spots - 196 total positions to fill for the league.
Basically you can add 1 team per bench spot and keep everything fair and competitve.

Makes sense to me.
Non-Redneck Westsider,
If this league stays at 12, I'll drop out and you can take my spot.
And regardless of whether the league stays at 12, you are welcome to join my and my buddy's other league--contact info on the first page of this thread.
OK well I will set it up like that then Non-Redneck Westsider.
Well that makes 14 and our final count unless someone drops.
I will setup the league tonight on Yahoo with 14 teams, and 5 bench spots per team. The draft will be for the 29th at 7:00 PM. If someone cant make it, then they will just need to make sure they have their players ranked for the computer to draft.

Awesome!
Sounds good. I'm in for the live draft. Don't forget to post the league info, so we can all sign in.
OK, well i will set it all up tonight and put the information out there for everyone to sign up.
I am 50/50 for the live draft. If the Axemen win on Saturday, I am headed to Philly for the Rugby Leauge final that weekend. I can set my team to autodraft if need be.
The live draft time works for me. Is that just done on Yahoo or is it by conference call or something?
Thanks for setting this up Lucas.
The league has been setup. I am direct messaging all the people playing with the link to join and create your team. Let me know if there are any problems.
I have sent the link to everyone. I did it individually, so if you are on list and didn't get it let me know. I could have screwed it up.
Little problem with the draft time. The best time I can get for Sunday the 29th is 5:45. We could probably do it the following Sunday at 7. Let me know what everyone thinks.
Buckethead has reported for duty, Sir!

5:45 is fine...the next Sunday would be tough for me
Neither works for me. lol. church Sunday afternoon and then the following Sunday I'll be in Colombia. So it doesn't matter to me.
5:45p works for me but the next Sunday doesn't.
Same here - 5:45 works for me. Later would actually be better, as I have another draft at 4:45.
I am registered
The BeeTees have reported for camp... ::) :D
Since I may not be able to live draft I am setting up my auto draft. Question...
In the auto draft does the sytem draft according to position? meaning... first pick is my highest rank QB... next pick is highest RB... next is highest WR?
Or
if my ranking is 1-14 QB's...15-28 RB's... will the program pick 2 QBs the first two rounds... then 2 RBs the next?
The former. I see no way of altering that format.
I altered the rankings somewhat, for a draft last year and ended up with a lousy team. I am going to try to make the live draft. I have no schedule conflicts, so it just depends upon my Dear Leader. :)
So the draft order will be... QB, WR, RB, TE, K, DEF? Everyone drafts a QB... next round we draft WR... next RB... etc?
Just trying to be clear because I have not seen anything on Yahoo...

The times I could select were 5:45 or before, or 10:00 and after. I guess that is a popular night for drafting, and their system can only handle so many. I plan on leaving it at the 5:45 time it is now.

"When utilizing the autopick system, our computer system will make intelligent choices for you. This will happen if you signed up for an Autopick Draft or are not present for all or part of your Live Draft.
The autopick system looks at both a player's position and ranking before making a selection. The computer looks to see which starting positions you need to fill, then selects the highest-rated playerâ€"based on either our default ranking or your own custom player rankingâ€"to fill one of those positions.
It is not possible to set a specific number of players to receive for each position, or to set which position will be selected in each round."

If you don't know how to set it up, I would leave the Yahoo Rankings as is. No system takes into account the player's position, only thier ranking. FYI - be sure to remove your kickers from the rankings list, and only leave the defenses in that you want. ;)
According to Lucas, this systems considers position. I must assume it does so by seeing which positions are filled. I can see how it could be done if I were to use MS Excel. If pick one and two were RBs and my highest ranked player remaining on the board was also an RB during my 3rd pick, default to the next highest ranked player that is not an RB.
The Rivercity Riots are signed up and ready for action!
The way I understand it is that
1 - It will look at your open positions and look at player rankings
2 - Where ever you have the highest ranked player for an open position, that is who it will talke.
This is also from Yahoo...
"Unfortunately, it isn't possible to designate which positions are drafted in which rounds in an autopick draft.
For example, it isn't possible to tell our autopick system to draft a running back in the first two rounds, a quarterback in the third round and a wide receiver in the fourth round.
Each round, the autopick system selects your highest-ranked available player, assuming there's an open starting roster position for that player."
Here is a link to the draft help section on Yahoo. It should be able to answer any questions anyone has.
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/sports/fantasysports/football/drafts/;_ylt=AjVsMfutQ7fOUGVtbPxl2CNhAHpG
I found this...
QuoteHow is the draft order determined?
Draft order for Public Leagues is determined randomly approximately 30 to 60 minutes prior to the beginning of the draft.
Commissioners of Custom Leagues can specify the order of the draft in their league by:
•Clicking the "Commissioner Tools" link on the league home page.
OR
•Choosing the "Edit Draft Order" tool.
If a Custom League Commissioner has customized the draft order, the order reverts to the default draft order if a team enters or exits the league.
The draft order in Custom Leagues cannot be randomized by the commissioner. If no customization is done, Yahoo! Sports randomizes the draft order 30 to 60 minutes prior to the draft.
For either type of league, the draft order wraps around (i.e., if you have the first pick in the first round, you have the last pick in the second round, first pick in the third round, and so on). You can click the "Draft Results" link from your league home page to view the draft order of your league.
That is referring to the drafting order for each team. The way the league is setup it will be random, and then will follow a snaking order, which is the wrapping it describes above. So if you get the 14th pick in round 1, you get the 15th pick in round 2. This doesn't have anything to do with the players drafted for your team though, just when in each round you will get to pick.
Someone who was on the list for the leauge still hasn't signed up. I don't know who hasn't, but we need that last person to be able to draft this coming weekend. If you are having problems with signing up, or no longer want to do it, let me know so we can get the league filled out.
It's me. I haven't gotten around to it but I plan to early this week.

OK cool.
Satisfied with your draft? I had a problem logging in... I had been in for a few hours and participated in a couple mock drafts to test things out... all worked well... until the live draft. Somehow I didn't get in until after my first pick was made automatically. Needless to say my intent was to pick someone else ::). Made another mistake later on... was queueing up my picks and had one guy highlighted while I meant to draft another... I guess it all worked out... Ya never know until the season starts and guys get hurt or someone nobody has heard of becomes a star...
Good luck! :)
I didn't have any problems with the draft last night, but I did have some issues like that when doing the mock drafts. A lot of times I would have to close the app that launched and reload it into my browser. It didn't display as well like that, but it worked.
I reached on Spiller, but other than that I was happy.
I think Lake needs to create his slogan on the league to reflect his opinion on taking Roethlisberger.
You gotta love a qb that will not be denied!
For some reason my pre-draft rankings didn't take :-\
My team isn't terrible and with a couple moves I should be upgraded to unstoppable. :o
It may be listed somewhere and I'm just missing it but can we get a list of teams and who (MJ name) they belong to... for trash talking reasons. :-*

Satisfied with your draft?
I did what I could do with a middle pick. I find those most difficult to game plan for because you don't have the advantage of picking twice with a few slots of each other. So I typically prefer being in the top or bottom three selection spots. Anyway, I'm satisfied at this point. I didn't get Ricky Williams to back up Ronnie Brown's wobbly knees and that will bit me at some point since Brown has never played a full season. However, I believe the rapist will bring me good things come week five or six. Either as a replacement at QB or trade bait to upgrade my RB position. My season strategy boils down to doing just enough to get into the playoffs and swinging a few trades along the way to upgrade my weaknesses for a strong run to the finish line. Oh yeah....I'm a trash talker, so don't take things too personal when the season gets underway.
I really hate Roethlisberger. I have his jersey and even a Christmas ornament of him, but he can never be anymore than just "the rapist" now.
I really think your team slogan should be "The Ebony Stub's will always have room for a rapist."
When you're down in 4th and time is running out, you need a guy on your team who won't take no for an answer.

A guy who is willing to force his way into the endzone.

Seriously though... Rapelesburger is meeting with Goodell soon and I bet his suspension is shortened to week 3.
It was all he said, she said.
He said "Here... take this."
She said "That's a swell offer but I think I should decline."
He said "Oh... but I insist."
She said "Thank you but no, thank you.

That was the most fun fantasy draft I was ever involved in. Another reason to love Metro Jacksonville.

So.... How did everybody do? Still two games to go tonight but Beetees did well after not producing for the Thursday night opener. A lot of high draft picks didnt do so well... ;)
I am happy....... So far that is!
Was looking great until Foster sold his soul to the devil. Will probably lose my lead tonight but no big deal.
I might have lucked into a win. I forgot to set my lineup. (I thought I had done it)
Two guys would have been in differently for a net gain of about 8 points.
It seems my opponent (Wacca) was sleeping at the wheel.
BT, your boys went off!
I missed the draft and I have no number one runningbacks, but Ahmad Bradshaw did pretty well for me.

I wasn't sleeping, but I sure did show a talent for picking guys who would score fewer than 1 point this week.
I see no reason to bench MSW, but Kolb and Edelman aren't looking too wonderful for me right now.
Oh, and Grant got hurt to add to the fun.
Wanna trade Orton and a scrub wr for McNabb and Mr Fred Taylor?

I'll take my whipping this week, but my eyes are on the big prize. Plan on hateful revenge for the rest of you bold enough to stand in my way. I am pissed.
Riots 1-0 8)
Nothing worse than losing by less than 1 point! Ugg
Week one in fantasy is usually tough. Offences are still working out the kinks and upsets are common. Still quite a few free agents out there to beef up your teams. BTW... I need another RB... if ya have a spare. ;)

I have no problem with winning by less than a point. After Foster's big day on Sunday, I thought I was going to go down so this is a pleasant suprise.
A win is a win.
Nice game Riverside... I was praying Drew Brees wouldn't make it to overtime! I was pretty confident I had the win locked up going into last nighs game but started sweating when your score started ramping up!
Week 2 with second most in points... who's next?
Another week, another loss by less than a point!!! :'( :'( :'(
My Defenses are killing me!! -1 points last week, and 1 point this week.. GRRRR
I was beat by Congro because of a Matt Schaub explosion in the second half... well that and a Brady implosion... :D
That's rough BT. It's is hard to win when the opposing QB puts up 43 points.
I am happy so far, but I don't know what to expect from my RB's. I just hope Darren McFadden doesn't remember who he really is, because my CJ Spiller pick as a 2nd RB looks like a huge mistake.
Anyone interested in trading a RB or WR for my backup QB Matt Hasselbeck?
My QB got me 43 points...I'm good there!
Crabtrees for sale! I've got Crabtrees over here! Crabtrees for sale!
QuoteMy QB got me 43 points...I'm good there!
:D No doubt! Damn... I checked everything at the half and I had a fairly comfortable 30 point lead... an hour later we were even. Schaub went nuts!
Some of you guys could use a man who is used to violating the opposition's defense over and over again. Team Stud is 2-0 with two more weeks to go before we introduce the rapist into the starting lineup or offer him as trade bait.
The Jags got shellacked by Philip rivers and so did I.
It doesn't look good for me overall due to the lack of run game by my RBs.
Eli wasn't stellar but I think he'll be okay.

Thanks, Schwaz. I was hoping for a stellar night from him, considering I was 40 points down going into the game. Here's hoping I can get a win next week.
well I finally had a good day...and have a pretty substantial lead on the awesome lakelander....only frustration is imagining how many more points I would have scored if I had played Leon Washington!
I have both of Phili's receivers, and somehow I still lost. Unreal.
guess you ned Anquan Boldin...got me 41 today
Sucked wind big time today. No choice left but to take it on the chin and move on to next week.
The Riots squeak out another win! 3-0!!
I felt like I let my team down though by starting Ryan Mathews when he was obviously out for week 3. I was out of town all last week and lost my focus. So after the game last night I had a talk with all my little fantasy player avatars. I vowed to be the leader they deserve and not an absentee father.
I hope my message was heard loud & clear and confidence has been restored because we've got a big week coming up with the Studs... Riots on 3!! 1-2-3 RIOTS!!!
The BeeTees needed good Monday night performances to prevail... next week am up against the undefeated Post St team... :)
I had a good win last week, but I am not so confident in this week's game. My two top scorers, Adrian Peterson and Tony Romo, are both on a bye. It looks like a good match up for Bridgetroll.
:D I will need that help!
Another win for Johnsonville United. Roll on week 4!
Be ready for the West to rise up this week!!!!
Torain!

OMG! Your replacements sure came through... along with a Zach Millar explosion and non production from a few af my guys... Damndamndamn.... argh....
Looks like my late selection of LT paid off. Culter completely flopping last night helped out as well. That was one of the worst QB games I've ever seen in fantasy football. It would have been a lot worse if points were subtracted for sacks, as they are in my other league. Anyway, I'm down by one heading into tonight's game. However, I believe a combination of Ronnie Brown and Wes Welker against Davon Bess will more than even out the difference.
I was very suprised of how our matchup shook out BT. I was completely backwards in my predictions this week. In the three leagues I am in I figured this as a loss and the other two as wins, but it was the opposite.
I am really happy though to get through the byes for my #1 RB and QB without a loss.
I also won my fantasy baseball championship yesterday too, so in all a pretty good pretend sports day.
A good pretend day can sure make your real day a whole lot better!

Looks like my late selection of LT paid off. Culter completely flopping last night helped out as well. That was one of the worst QB games I've ever seen in fantasy football. It would have been a lot worse if points were subtracted for sacks, as they are in my other league. Anyway, I'm down by one heading into tonight's game. However, I believe a combination of Ronnie Brown and Wes Welker against Davon Bess will more than even out the difference.
I can't believe Cutler imploded like that... and now he may be out next week too! Sucks.
If Cutler was on form in my other leauge, I would have won easily. I was expecting a win when I woke up this morning.... I was shocked to say the least.
:o Holy Smokes! Up by 1 heading into last nights game, Devon Bess vs. Ronnie Brown & Wes Welker and the Riots pulled it out! Unbelievable!!!
4-0 8)
Completely unbelievable. In a matter of two minutes right after halftime, the Dolphins falling apart on special teams took the need of running Ronnie Brown and throwing to Wes Welker right out of the game. I thought the only way Bess would come out on top was if Brown got caught with a 12 year old stripper right before the game. Well an NFL team allowing a kickoff return, an INT TD return, a blocked punt in its redzone and a blocked FG TD return......IN ONE HALF...is right up there with that assessment. Oh well, Team Stud is now 2-2 with our favorite rapist and Santonio Holmes coming back off their 4-game suspensions.
LOL I didn't even watch the game last night and I went to bed sure that I had lost.

Massillon Tigers here. I'm a big fan of early NFL history, so I name all my ff teams after early franchises. I also grew up near the Canton/Massillon area, so I have an affinity for those teams.
Are you still here Tigers? Answer the damn trade offer!!!!!!
A couple reminders
Thrusday night football starts this week, so take that into account for your line ups.
Trade deadline is midnight on Friday. All trades must be accepted by then.
(I am fielding trade offers I need a QB. Buckethead answer my trade requests.)
Are you interseted in Josh Freeman?
I'm going to close out the season with Big Ben so Carson Palmer is available if interested.
Sticking with the rapist eh? :D
Yes, we have a number of defenses that we're going to be penetrating their endzones against their will.
:D Love it! :D
I'm delighted to no longer be winless, but regretful that I didn't name the team the Hyphens since I've managed to start Stephens-Howling, Green-Ellis, and Sims-Walker this week. Interested in trading me Jones-Drew?
Here we go... :)

TORAIN is back. If you need a RB, he is the man
I made it to the final..... whoda tunk it. Urine Danger....... You are going down.
It has been a good season. Made it to the final in both of my leauges.
I would just like to say the the Viking's interim coach Leslie Frazier is a bad person. Why do you have your RB practice on Saturday, and state that he is going to play Monday night, only to have him inactive. It probably didn't make a difference anyway in me losing, but I am certainly not a fan of this man.
Crap like that has happend to me this year as well.
I know the season is not over, at least for two of you, but it was a good league. I will post something next week after the championship game, and will keep the league to get it going again next year.
I had a lot of fun, and even though my season went horribly, I am proud of my heavily Michael Vick-driven late season run. If NFL Films were doing a documentary about my roster it would trumpet how my strong finish is a portent of a bright future.
I hope we can do this again next year.
I enjoyed it, too - even for a not so good finish.
Baseball anyone?
I am in a Major Leauge Soccer one every season. It is very difficult because you cant just flip on your TV and get updates. Takes a lot of research about who to bench/start.
Johnsonville United....... Metrojacksonville Junkies Inagural Season Champion!!!!!!
Thank You.....
Thank You Very Much!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats... I was sure it was either you or Post St. I certainly had fun and look forward to next year. Pencil me in!
Congratulations danno! That was a fun season. I assume it will let me keep the league name and settings, and resume it next year. I will be sure to get the ball rolling before next season so we can do it again. Thanks to everyone who played.
Congrats Danno! I had absolutely no chance of winning (Even if I would have started Rogers over Garrard.. Dumb move there, huh??). Zero's on the board from my WR and Defense surely didn't help me out either.
First time I played in a league with more than 10 players, which made free agency pretty tough! I had a blast playing in this league though, good work!
Congrats danno!

Lucas, Yahoo will let you keep all of the settings, names, etc... And when next year starts, you can basically hit 4 buttons and have the league up and running with invites sent out to all the players from this year.
Now that we have real football started back up, it is time to get the fantasy version going. I have renewed the league from last year and sent out invites to the previous year managers.
If you do not want to do it again, or you didn't really keep up with it all season last year (I don't think anyone actually did that), let me know so I can put it out there for others to join.
If everyone is in again, and there are others that want to get in on this, we may need to institute a policy of kicking out the bottom 4 or whatever each year to allow others to cycle in.
Right now the draft is set for August 28th at 7:00 PM, but that can be adjusted. I will post some more info under the league page regarding any changes in settings.
If you guys need an extra player depending on how many renew, let me know!
Yup... I'm in. I guess you guys want your asses handed to you AGAIN!!!
err..., wait.... I think I actually sucked.
Ah well. LET THE PILLAGING COMMENCE!
Im in... last year was fun. When does regular season start?
Thursday September 8th. Saint Vs. Packers
Cool... just wanted to be sure we did not draft until just prior to the season. Saints v Packers... I drool... :)
As a downtown resident, I'm a bit dismayed to be in the "Suburbia" division :(

14. Congrotastic 3-10-0 .231 3-9-0 1385.12
And notice how the commish completely flamed out in the playoffs :P
I was robbed... :)
Thank you so much for your wonderful reminder. :'(
My replacement of Tony Romo with Ryan Fitzpatrcik and Carson Palmer just didn't cut it.
Team Ebony Stud lost because of Roethlisberger finally refusing to forcefully penetrate the defense's end zone against its will.

I am going to put everyone in the same divisions as last year so we can build rivalries. My use of suburbia was to counter urban core. If you can think of something more to your liking that fits the scheme I will change it.
It will be a long season and i'll need to protect the Stud's thighs for the race. Maybe I can find a gunman like Plaxico in the draft ;).
If you are guys are accepting new teams, can you send me an invite.

Your Roethlisberger lines will never get old.
Rashean the Fish will be gladly swimming back into action after recovering from last year's unspeakably awful start with a bright finish. If NFL Films did a half-hour review of my season, it would focus entirely on the second half and the hope it brought for the future.

Much as I love Jacksonville's urban core, I guess my living in Virginia puts me in outer outer suburbia.
Been in Guatemala for the last week and a half. Didn't see my invite. Trying to keep the regining champion out???
Your championship was clearly an aberration... ;D
I sent you a PM Danno about your invite.
Got it. just replied.
I guess you all are not taking any teams.
I have only had 5 of the 14 people respond by reclaiming their team so far. Once it gets closer I will give a deadline to reclaim their team and fill any open spots. Field posted first to join if there are any open spots, so you are in line after him if we have spots to fill.
Sign up complete.... Time to defend my title.
I will relinquish my spot so another might partake this season.
Perhaps a more worthy participant.
So the Midget Warriors are leaving us. I will mark you off the list.
Thanks for playing last year.
Field, you are up. I am going to send you a PM for your email address to invite you in.
I've done NFL.com fantasy leagues the last 4 years and have gradually gotten better. I'm way, way late to this party... but if there are open spots I would be interested in giving it a try. What system is this league run through?
I'm finally up to speed and signed up again.
I have five teams still unclaimed. Three of the people (Lake, Steve, Wacca) have confirmed they are coming back this year, so I am not worried about them. I am still waiting to hear from Shwaz and Smoody84. Please let me know if you are playing or not by the 19th, this way we can fill your spots if you are not coming back. If I don't hear anything by that point, I am going to move on and invite people in to replace your spots.
As of right now the list to fill any potentail spots is manasia and then AFCassidy.
I just registered. Sorry for my delay.
Sorry for the delay as well, I'm in!
Shwaz has informed me that he will not be playing this year. Manasia was first in line as a reserve so he has taken over his spot. As of right now the league is filled up. Sorry to anyone else who was looking to get in. I am still waiting for one person to reclaim their team, but he has assured me he will do it before my imposed deadline.
Here is the cross reference for everyone, which I will also post on Yahoo.
1 - Lucasjj - Post St Playmakers
2 - Lakelander - The Ebony Stud

If you have not done so already, please vote on the poll listed under the "Should They Stay Or Should They Go" thread. Also please make any suggestions about rules, scoring, ect before the draft so that we can possibly make changes.
I haven't had any replies about the draft time, so as of now it is scheduled for Sunday August 28th at 7:00 PM EDT. If that time does not work for you, please make a suggestion. We will schedule a time that works for most, and others will have to auto-draft.
Hey Lucas,
You think we could the draft at a sports bar or something like that?

QuoteSorry to anyone else who was looking to get in.
No sweat, have fun! ;)
ok...I saw lucas and field this morning....we discussed the possibility of getting together for the draft.
So....if folks are game, we can meet up at the Landing Hooters next Sunday evening...I checked with them and they'll provide us a draft kit, wi-fi, and power strips for those with weak laptop batteries.
We'll still do the draft online, so if you can't make it, no big deal....but if you want to meet other league members (and MJ posters) we can meet up at Hooters around 6pm on 8/28.

That sounds like a plan. Count me in.
Hey all,
We're about to get hit with a hurricane here in Virginia, so if I don't participate in the fantasy draft on Sunday, it'll be because our power's out. Does the system just auto-draft for me if I can't make it or will you do things like make Tiquan Underwood my first round pick? :) Thanks for your understanding
It will auto draft and take the best player available at a needed poistion until your starting line up is made and then it will fill your bench with the top player available each time. However as comissioner I may be able to adjust your roster to get underwood as your first pick for you. :-)
Just a few reminders.
The draft is this Sunday (August 28) at 7:00 PM EDT. If you are not able to draft then your team will be auto drafted by Yahoo whether you sign in or not. You can adjust the rankings of players prior to the draft to customize it to your preference.
For those who would like to draft with other members of the league and have an excuse to drink, we will be meeting at Hooters at the Landing around 6 o'clock for a draft party. You need to have a laptop to draft. Otherwise you will just drink with us while your team is autodrafted.
I would also like everyone who has not done so already to complete the poll listed under the "Should They Stay or Should They Go" thread. Eight people have responded so I know at least 6 of you still have not. I am going to close out the poll by the draft time.
I will likely be autodrafting... not sure if I can make it to Hooters... Where is the poll? Is it on the Yahoo site?
Yahoo doesn't have the ability to do polls, so I have it hosted on another site. To get there click on the thread titled "Should They Stay or Should They Go" on our Yahoo league page which explains the poll, and there is a link to a site that is hosting the actual poll.
I found it bro... thanx!
Sorry Fellas I cannot attend.

My draft strategy will basically be a wait and see approach of who's the best available at my slots and who those players will line up against during playoff weeks.

Not this year. I'm selecting guys with "mojo" in their blood. Guy's that don't mind slapping someone else's kids if it means winning the game for their team.

9 sucks as well
Thanks to those who participated in the draft tonight, either at Hooters or on-line. It was a fun time with many surprises. For instance Lake only took one criminal, Mark Brunell isn't dead and was some how drafted, and Tim Tebow can not only ride the bench in Denver but also on Riverside Mail's team.
For those who didn't draft live, I closed the poll at the beginning of the draft and the results are that no one will removed at the end of the year based on rankings. Steve is very thankful for this.
On top of being awesome hosts for the live draft, Hooters provided us a draft kit for the evening. With it came some coupons for future group events during the season. Tufsu1 has these and so we decided we will try and plan some league parties for some of the Jag away games.
Remember this is just the beginning of a long season in which you will all again lose to me. So make trades, watch the waiver wire, and more importantly lose to me.
Lose to you until when??? Week 16 when you wet the bed.....
BTW, I did survive after leaving last night. The anger that was seen was a combination of 7 hours spent in front of a computer doing fantasy drafts and the fact that the cell-phone ringer was turned off - she had called about 20 minutes before storming in the door.
Just in case, next time, I'm going to go ahead and order another Sammy ;D
Whoa, what did I miss?
Mrs. NRW felt a little, shall we say, neglected yesterday. 2 drafts at the house and 1 at Hooters - the final straw being the cell-phone that kept going straight to VM.
Sorry I missed the draft all. I have electricity and an Internet connection and look forward to making trades with everyone.

Thanks for asking. Yes, I'm fine. I stayed at my best buddy's house and to my surprise, neither he nor I lost power (though he doesn't have a working internet connection right now and has three children who needed entertaining, hence my missing the draft). No damage to my house or his. Oddly, a lot more damage 20 miles to the west in Williamsburg, where I work. No power in my office this morning.
Best of luck to everyone!! Football is finally here!

I'm throwing caution to the wind, baby. Read my Text, "THERE WILL BE NO REPEAT THIS YEAR!!" (unless you mean Lucas tanking in the playoffs AGAIN)
I hate to tell you guys that do-gooderly, cautiously optimistically, fence-up-your-rectum-because-you-can't-choose-a-player teams will not win, hell, they won't even be in the discussion come week 10.
They're the guys who are too cheap to kick the IT guy a $50 to unlock all the Roto sites at their work computer, keeping the droid in their pockets while they're in church and allowing the wife to have her 'Family Time' when you should be checking your line-up and scouring the waiver wire.
I'll be setting the alarm at 3am to sneak in and claim all the good players; Fuck work, I give them the other 8 months out of the year; I left my family a note and 4 checks - one for each month that daddy won't be around - and have secluded myself in all that is NFL.
Roger Goodell pajamas - check. He will start getting e-mails and video clips from me about how all of your RBs keep lowering their heads into defensless defenders. Suspended.
Aaron Rodgers magazine - check. I'll be giving GQ the dl on everything Aaron Rodgers. They'll be following him around incessantly with white linen pants and V-neck sweater vests until he can't think straight. (Pun very much intended - especially for those of you who think Sanchez is straight)
Indianapolis Colts neck warmer - check. Oops. Let's peruse the Colts draft picks this year: My Man Peyton in the 2nd (it'll be ok Steve), then we have Reggie 'I-want-Painter' Wayne (I'm sure Lance Moore will get the majority of the catches against the other 42 receivers that Brees is more than happy to throw to). Next up: Dallas Clark. C'mon, like you really wanted a white guy on your team anyhow.
Oh shit, the boss has been standing over my shoulder for the last 10 minutes. I guess I'll be setting his line-up tonight, too.
^^Watch 'The League', some of the funniest TV for this time of year.
Quite a marvelous rant. A lot of talk, obviously trying to calm your fears before your week one match up. I am not sure how much of that you stole or how much was original thought, but I can tell you that the only thing you said that is even worth listening to is your plug to watch The League.
Other than that I think you should settle down before we have to get hold of your wife and have her take you back home again. ;D
Plagarism?!?! Nah, I'll save that for you when you copy and paste it into another league. :P
Just be sure to check the time stamps of my posts, they work in conjuction with my consumption - no telling what may fly off the keyboard at 4am.
BTW,
Go ahead and call her [edited for content]- she cashed the first check last week. 8)
Damn... missed 200 points by .53. Can I bank some of those for next week? ;D
If you want to loan me some points, I will pay you back with interest. The way the Colts are scoring, Reggie Wayne may not even get me enough points to break 70 this week. Me and Massillion really brought down the curve this week, although he still has Blount to play.
Yep. Well, at least it's your players letting you down. I seem to be the Matt Millen of Fantasy Football - 2 weeks in a row.

I've channeled my inner Matt Millen for the past two weeks and now I'm complementing that with my inner JDR. Assuming the trade goes through, I have successfully traded away my best reciever for a (to this point) bust of a RB and now am cutting loose my starting QB (who is 4-0 btw) to go with the rookie and a half-pint on the Saints. Oh yeah, CJ's in there as well, but he isn't even worthy of carrrying Fred Jackson's jock strap to this point.
Let's go to the tape - (http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQc_hqYN6SYs_159CzTxiGkFKm5zTocsRcuDLwGqBg_zIMDWzfN_aKFd23Fcw)
I have essentially traded away two first round picks and a 10th for (2) Undrafted players and am now putting the burden on my Rookie QB. SMH.

Its a passing league... on the other hand... I should probably dump Rodgers and Welker. Anyone with a RB to trade???

While on the subject, would someone please tell Field that Garrard isn't in the league anymore and that Jamaal Charles is on IR.
At least I'm piloting the Titanic.

Speak for yourself. I'm doing just fine in my other league (the one that impacts my pockets). I blame my poor start on a combination of being in the middle of the drafting rounds (hard to follow out a drafting strategy) and swinging and missing on both of my RB selections.
boo hoo!
to be fair, we are #12, #13, and #14 in a 14 team league 8)

Ah... now we know what motivates Lake...
I got to make some adjustments, my team is kind of weak this week.
I find the less I stress about it the better. I was in London all week last week and didn't touch my team unitl I got back late Sat night..... 4-0 baby.
Alright. Found some success on the first week of radically changing my lineup. The trade for Detroit's Best looks to be a significant improvement over pretty boy Reggie Bush, who's still having his Kardashian hangover. Hello, Reggie, Ray J's girl is gone.....get over it and get your head in the game son.
Also, I can't believe someone cut Aaron Hernandez and Victor Cruz were still available on the waiver wire this past week. Neither were in my starting lineup but now they will be. Now we have one out of three planners who's not hovering in the gutter of this fantasy football league. We're getting into bye time, so I'll be waiting for a few suckers to let some good talent go when they come to the realization they drafted without thinking about bye weeks. Looking forward to giving Jack B. More another loss this week.
well since Jack B. More will most likely be starting Sam Bradford at QB this week, you'll have a very good chance
Sounds like a personal problem. ;) Why did Jack B. More draft two QBs with the same bye week date? Who will Jack be starting at that second RB position?
I got married Saturday and am leaving for my honeymoon tomorrow, so I haven't paid any attention to my team this week. I am not sure what kind of internet access I will have so whoever has me for the next two match ups may be getting a gift. That is if my team didn't suck like the last two weeks.
Anyways if there are any league issues, to damn bad because I will be in the Mediterranean and honestly won't care.
BTW I am the idiot who dropped Hernandez because I didn't want to drop one of my several mediocre running backs when he got injured. I am hoping i can get my head back into the league after I am back and roar to life in the second half.
Congrats on the marraige.
I'm sure we can handle it while you're gone.
Maybe you should PM Field for some advice on how to effectively absentee-manage your team.

I think we should put some $$$$ down next year! Nothing too steep, I pay $250 (split with my team-mate) for my other league.
A survivor league would be fun too.

Jack B. more originally drafted Sam Bradford...then dropped him for Hasselback without looking at the bye weeks....plus Bradford should be back up to ok now that his supporting cast is healthier.

I had to revive this thread to point out the amazing upset I am about to pull in the first round of the playoffs. Considering how little I accomplished last season and that one of my other fantasy teams is 1-12, please forgive me for the end zone dance I'm doing over this :D
I do not know of this fantasty football that you speak of, but I am sure it is impressive. With Addison sure to be upset, the reigning champ will be the highest seed remaing.
I know some of you are still playing for this season, but please look over the post I put up regarding league changes for next year.I haven't gotten any feedback, but the main thing is the keeper selection for next year.
Fine. If you can gloat, then I can be a whiny, sore loser.
WTF!!!! How can you score the second highest point total in the entire 14 team league and not make the playoffs? It's a sham. It's a travesty. It's obvious that the whole thing was a set up from the beginning. You suburbia hacks should be ashamed of yourselves for even being in the position that you all are in right now.
Really?!?!
Let's go to the tale of the tape: Only 3 teams scored as many points as last place in the Urban League. Thanks to Field lobbying to get a spot and then not playing his team, you were down another competitor that you each played twice this season, the fantasy version of the Colts. Only one of you faced a schedule as hard as ours in the Urban Core.
Enjoy your cardboard trophy and your hollow win. It means nothing.
To be the best, you have to beat the best, unless your team was in the Suburbia division.
;D ;D ;D ;D 8)
Edit: Yes. The changes are welcomed. Now, the next step, as alluded above, will be to mix in some Suburbian Christians to the Urban Lion's Pit. 8)
sadly I lost to Field's team the first time through...even with 2 of his starter on IR!
and now that the season is over, Rivers is finally putting up decent numbers....ugh!
and yes Lucas, I'm good with the plan for next year
Lucas, I'm good with the plan too.
NRW, I agree with you. I got extremely lucky to win several in a row during the regular season with relatively low point totals.
To jump on the band wagon above to make myself feel better about my disappointing season I post the following...
Urban Core - Points Scored = 11,821.06 Points Against =11,290.75
Suburbia - Points Scored = 9,743.93 Points Against = 9,734.24
The Urban Core was obviosuly the better division. :) :)

I need to send Antonio Brown a gift basket. He went beast mode. Baring Stephen Jackson getting hurt in warm ups I should pull out the W on Addison.
Disaster for the Beetees... Jones-Drew goes berserk... they pull Aaron Rodgers in the third quarter while on his way to a 40 point + game... Murray for Cowboys drops in the first quarter...
Ugh... congrats to Congro! :o
You've got to be kidding me... Yesterday was the most dreadful day of Fantasy Football I've ever had. #1 Seed in both of my league ($1,500 goes to 1st place in the other one.).. And I was ousted in both leagues, in blowout fashion.
Congrats to the winners. Tough day..
I forgot to set my lineup for the first three weeks of the season, and by that point decided to mail it in.
I just got overwhelmed with my workload over football season, and didnt intentionally set out to ignore this league.
So, for anyone I knocked out of the playoffs or destroyed their season unkowingly... I'll be up at Mojos tonight grabbing a bite to eat after I leave work 7-730ish, I'll buy you a beer.
I lost this week but at least my middle of the road team made the playoffs. The crazy thing is my sorry team led the suburbia division in total points but if it were in the other division, it would have been the 6th place team. Anyway, my money league team put up 157 points yesterday. My opponent will need a big night to catch me, although its not impossible.

Well folks..... There's no denying the results: The urban core is significantly better than suburbia. The science is settled. The debate is over.
I can't believe it! I'm in the championship game!
Of course looking at my opponent's roster, I fully expect to be shellacked.

Oh?!? You mean the playoffs are still going on?
:P
yeah well, I'm a bit bitter....sure I finished the regular season on a 3-game win streak....but after not making the playoffs because Philip Rivers didn't get hot until December (I should have known), my starting lineup would have scored 130 and 170 points during the playoff weeks.
^So you were the Miami Dolphins of MJ Fantasy Football?
I will never associate myself with that team
Don't feel bad... I clearly had the best team and was eliminated way to
o early :)
Lets see if I can pull off back to back championships..... Instead of the title of "Americas Team".... I would like to take the title of "Metro Jacksonvilles Team"
Good luck to you.
THey way things are looking, an ugly championship will be decided Monday night. I only have 36 points with 3 players to play, though Drew Brees is one of them... Chicago currntly has me at a neagative 3 in Def....
I think the Romo injury is going to send me down in flames. Of course you had a better team anyway.
It aint over till it's over my friend.... Tonight will tell!
Another season of Metrojacksonville Fantasy Football is in the books and for a second straight year Danno has reigned victorious. Congratulations, your fantasy skill obviously far outshines the rest of of us.
It was another fun year. Please make sure to review the final Commissioner's Note or the "New League Bylaws" post regarding the keeper rules going into effect as well as the scoring changes. I want to have everyone's keeper in by the end of January. I assume Yahoo will close out the league soon and post final rosters and draft results for each person to review.
Thank you..... Thank you very much!!! Bring on Championship #3!!!!
Congrats Danno.
FYI, I started a post on Yahoo for everyone to list their keeper and their draft round. We can post here just to keep another record, but Yahoo keeps the last 50 mssgs year after year.
Best in the West : Darren Sproles - Round 11
Jack B. More - Julio Jones (6th Round)
The Ebony Stud - Victor Cruz (waiver wire pick up)
Congratulations, Danno!
I would like to keep Laurent Robinson (undrafted waiver wire pickup)
Drew Brres Round one.
Nice job Danno!
I'll let you know my keeper in a few. It will either be MJD (First Round) or Rob Gronkowski (Ninth Round). Looking at the numbers, Gronkowski actually put up more points, but I think he might be Brady's flavor of the year.
If I never get back to you, assume MJD - despite losing a First round pick, he'd definitely be worth a first round pick next year.
Congrats Danno... >:( I was robbed! ;) I think I will keep Aaron Rodgers.
I have to go with the obvious choice on my team: Ray Rice (1st round).
I am keeping Jordy Nelson, 8th round.
I now only need the keepers from the following and I will have everyone:
-Stephenc
-Smoody84
-Manasia
-Cline
Just did mine.. Can't believe I'm keeping a Tight End, but Jimmy Graham was better than all of my Wide Receivers!!

Here is the draft order and keeper list for next season.
(http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x355/Lucasjj/FF-1.jpg)
I am unfamiliar with this format. Does this mean I have the 7th pick in the first round next year and Aaron Rodgers is my pick then I continue on with my picks as usual?

It also means that with the first overall pick in next years draft will be...... Ray Rice.
And when you set up your autodraft, remember to exclude these guys from your list.

The invites for the 3rd Annual MetroJacksonville Fantasy Football League have been sent out (Except for Danno's because he obviously cheats ;) ). If it doesn't hit your inbox or spam, message me with your email and I will try and see what went wrong.
As of now the draft is set for Sunday August 26th at 4:00 PM. All returning managers need to have reclaimed their team by August 5th.
Once you have reclaimed your team you will need to confirm your keeper. This will be the person you chose to keep earlier this offseason. I have the keeper list and finalize the selection, so please do not try and make any changes.
As of right now there is one spot available. If any other managers choose not to come back this year, their spot will also become available. If you would like to play, please post in this thread. I will throw all the names in a hat and make a random selection on August 6. Please don't ask to play if you will not be committed all year regardless of how your team is performing.
There have been some changes to the league settings. I have listed them in a post on the league page, if you have any comments or suggestions please make them there.
**SMoody84 & Stephenc â€" Check the direct message I sent you.**
I'd like to play if any spots open up.
Chris
Needless to say, when I kept Robinson I totally knew he was coming over to the good side in the offseason.
Didn't get my invite...... Obvious sour grapes..... haha... Pls send again.
The following people need to reclaim their team by the end of this week. Let me know if you need me to resend the invite.
-Bridge Troll, Manasia, TheLakeLander, & Steve
We have one spot still to fill. If you would like to play, please post in this thread. I will throw all the names in a hat and make a random selection on August 6. Please don't ask to play if you will not be committed all year regardless of how your team is performing.
Can you resend me the invite? Thanks.
It has been resent to your Metrojacksonville email
same here... Thank you!!!
If you have any empty slots, let me know.
Quote from: BridgeTroll on July 30, 2012, 10:18:32 AM

Assuming Steve is going to reclaim his team by Monday it looks like there will only be one spot available. So far two people have posted that they are interested. If you would look to get in the raffle to play, please post it in this thread by Sunday.
Steve has yet to sign up, but he said that he is playing this year. Since he has been traveling for his job recently, I am giving him another week to sign up. There were only two people, Jason and Nemo, that showed interest in filling any empty spots. I put their names in a mini Steeler helmet I have on my desk and drew out Jason's name. Jason please DM me an email address to send the invite to.
Nemo, if Steve doesn't sign up, I will contact you to take his place.

Steve signed up last night so the league has been filled and the teams are locked. I set the draft order and assigned each team's keeper to their pick, so you can ignore any message or deadline about selecting your keeper.
As of now the draft is set for 4:00 PM on Sunday August 26th. If you cannot make it, then the computer will autodraft for you. If people have a suggestion for another time, voice it here so we can work something out.

Lucas, before the draft, do we have to do something to the settings to make sure that everyone who was retained under the "keeper" option doesn't enter the draft?
No, no one has to do anything. I went through this morning and set the draft order and put all of the keepers in for each team in the round they are valued at. So for instance in your case, Laurent Robinson will not show as an available player, but when it comes to your pick in round 14 it will automatically draft Laurent Robinson for you.
So not only will people who are live drafting need to know who was taken as keepers for strategic reasons, but also your picks are going to come up quicker in certain rounds since you will not be waiting for a person to think through their pick and use the allotted time.
Here is an updated cross reference. Jason is the only new manager but we had a few team name changes.

Not only does he take the time to put all of this together, but he's also considerate enough to put teams together that are the equivalent to having a bye week when you play against him.
Thanks for all you do, PStPM! 8)
I will let my three and one life time record against you speak for me. Even with the terrible season I had last year (which was derailed due to my October wedding and honeymoon) I still managed to beat you week one with my highest point total for the season. It was almost enough to make the whole season still a success.

'The Engineers'? Maybe we should team up.
I have the blueprint for dominating fantasy football leagues, but I'm guessing by my 11th and 9th place, consecutive finishes, my blueprint could use a little tweaking. :)
Heh, I'm a Fantasy Football toddler as this will be my third team managed. The plus side is that I've improved every cycle!
Went from next to last out of 12 teams to an almost (by 6 points) second place finish of 12 teams.
This year I'm taking the trophy!
Quote from: Jason on August 08, 2012, 11:04:58 AM

So long as you bring it back to it's rightful owner - ME - by the end of the season, have at it.
We don't want to speculate what Danno's been doing to it for the past two years, though.
Acutally, all snark aside, I think a trophy would be an awesome idea. Let it travel for the year like the Stanley Cup... set up it's own thread to post pictures of 'what the cup is up to'....
I'd be willing to throw in $20/$30 to make this happen. Anyone else?
I just ordered the one below for my other league. It is a perpetual trophy that will last 18 years. With engraving and shipping it comes out to $8.50 a person for a 14 team league.
To get a new plate each year, it is only $8 with engraving and shipping.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41%2BGBsTrRPL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)
Sign me up!
In my main league ours was a little on the expensive side - neighborhood of $150, but we've been together for 5 years now, some longer than that, and we've been friends for about a decade.

I'd better not win so the trophy doesn't have to be mailed to Virginia.

I think the winner can fork over the $10 to have their name engraved for the life of the trophy - it's not too much to ask.
In your case Wacca (assuming you don't roll over and play dead in the Championship Match - AGAIN), you'll have plenty of chances to pick up the trophy during one of your 2-3 trips down in January for the AFC playoffs.
I said it!http://www.youtube.com/v/30GD25un0XQ
We'll be playing at Everbank for a game or two of the playoffs.
^ I like your enthusiasm.
I'll overlook the "roll over and play dead" reference and instead focus on how excited I would be to be able to go to a home playoff game.
The management of Johnsonville United openly invites any investigations of the alleged cheating.
^ Why JOHNsonville United versus JACKsonville United?
Johnson is the family name.

I have a much better record than the jags.... just sayin.
The draft is tommorrow... I will be auto drafting... you guys may want to begin forfeiting games to me now... 8)
You are a slave to the machine.
I talked to the bartender at Dahlia's Pour House last night, and they have wifi. So I am most likely going to draft from there. If anyone else is interested, let me know.
I'm in Atlanta. My plan is to hit the road early tomorrow so I can get back in time for the draft. I can't rely on the computer to do it for me.
Looks like you all may stand a chance this year. Due to the storm and the disruption it is causing in MIA and now possibly TPA, I will be working this evening. Damn you mother nature.
Everyone, I sent out an invite for a weekly pick-em. Just a diversion, but as most of us do office pools anyhow, I'm sure it won't hurt to refine your skills.
If anyone else on the site is interested....

Done... picks made
I'm already in your head and we haven't even played a down yet.
Anyone have Ogletree?? ;D
I picked him up last night during the game. Hopefully he will do what Laurent Robinson did last year.
^I noticed. You grabbed him an hour before I went online to check his availability.
I thought he would have been on waivers. My ESPN league had all players on waivers since games have started, but Yahoo didn't do that. I was able to pick him up in both of my yahoo leagues.

He should have been. I thought that all players went on waivers right before the start of the first game of the week?
If not, that's awesome because it means we can still make moves friday and saturday.
Here is how this apparently works. Yahoo's default waiver setting is Sunday through Tuesday. So all players go on waivers at 1:00 PM on Sunday and remain there until 3:00 AM Wednesday. This is the setting we have been using for previous years.
The other options are:
-Waivers start with the first game of the week and go until 3:00 AM Wednesday.
-Players go on waivers when their game starts and that goes until 3:00 AM Wednesday. Any player on a bye goes on waivers at 8:30 PM Monday until 3:00 AM Wednesday.
We can keep things as is, or this can be changed now, or for next season, whatever the consensus is.
Nah, leave it as is.
I don't like changing anyting once the season starts, and honestly, I don't think that it matters - especially if that's the way it's been.
If we did make a change, i would be in favor of putting players on bye when they play. This will avoid the situation last night where I was first to pick him up since he would have been on waivers. It also would still allow for last minute pickups on Saturday and Sunday if a team needed a fill in.
I don't like changing things in year either, unless it is a "fatal" mistake for the league season. I think it is definitely something to look at for next year.
LucasJJ, aka Post Street Playmakers, this is for you:

The gauntlet is at your feet, sir. The bet - $20 tab at Dahlia's - if you're man enough to accept.
http://www.youtube.com/v/Y1q8ZfmoHpo?
It has to be based more than just this week. My QB is on a bye this weekand I have Matt Cassell going for me.
We face off again in week 8. We can bet on the two games combined, and if we split, than total points will be the tiebreaker, or we can bet final standings.
Alright!
We'll go with a combined score for the two weeks - I can't wait until the end of the year - delayed gratification isn't really my thing. ;D [insert 'That's what she said' comment]
Allright combined points for week 4 and 8 is the bet.
The only downside of this, since I will surely win, is that to reap my winnings will mean I will have to sit with you while having a drink.

Don't fret, because even though you'll be losing the match, you're still #winning.
How you ask?
Beer 1
I'll gladly speak of the joys of being in the lead through week 8 and won't hesitate giving you some much needed insight as to how you still may have an opportunity to join me in the playoffs.
Beer 2
I'll try not to dwell on how horrid your team actually is, but will attempt to keep it positive as to how much room your team actually has for improvement.
Beer 3
By this point, the 9+ ABVs should start to kick in and I'll slide right into a mocking, passive aggressive attack on how bad your team really is, and all the different moves you should be making, the trades that you should have made and (towards the end) draft theory for next year - by now I'll be convinced that your pathetic team only has one option going for it, next year.
Beer 4
This is the self-realization beer when I start getting sentimental and blathering on about how lonely it is at the top, reminiscing of the first draft day at Hooters, and slowly coming to the realization that the season is already half over and how time just passes us by.
Beer 5
We're no longer on your tab - if you happen to glance over your shoulder as you run to the door, the last image you'll probably see is Andrea glaring at you for getting me started and then bailing - thus making me her problem.
Ahhh, I can picture this like it already happened. Can't wait. ;D
^That's awesome
Congratulations to the 8 playoff teams.
I take solace in having outscored two of them despite my 3-10 record. That is all my season highlight video will point out.
What's the status on collecting $ toward a trophy?
Or you could be like me, outscoring your entire division and still missing the playoffs!
I cant believe I made it to the playoffs though it looks like my streak is gonna be over.

so sorry for you
To be honest, I didn't lose any sleep!
BT, what's the deal with the major turnover going on with your team?
Been doing fantasy FB for many years and I have never had a worse year. Nothing worked... guys hurt...underperformed. Ugh... you guys wont have me to kick around this playoff ... lol!
It has been my worst year yet.
Montell Owens will carry the load this week. If you need a RB or Flex. He can help.
Good luck to Massillon Tigers. I hope we have a good final matchup game.
Good Luck to all that are left. The reign of Johnsonville United is over.
shocking that NRW lost so bad this week...he'd been killing it all season.
and of course my team decided to score big this week now that it doesn't matter....all I needed last week was 1 TD pass from Schaub...but no, he threw a pick in the end zone on one drive and threw a pass to the 1 yard line (run in) on another...ugh!
