Paging PrufrockNCSU

Are we doing this again this year? You started last years thread in June and I almost missed it.

Not so so fast my friend!

do it for money

50 bucks, 100 whatever

6/4/2009 12:25:37 PM

i want in

i was just talking with a buddy yesterday about the fantasy football itch starting to kick in

6/4/2009 2:35:51 PM

definitely has to be for money, and a strong commish to keep collusion bullshit from happening.

6/4/2009 3:08:30 PM

I made the league yesterday and invited everyone back from last year I believe.

Check your Yahoo!?

6/4/2009 5:14:41 PM

^^I'd be willing to help you guys monitor fishy looking trades if you wanted a non-biased, outside the league person

6/4/2009 5:19:37 PM

50 dollars is the least you can make the buy in

20 dollars is throw away money for most people and won't keep thier attention

Preferably a couple hundred, but good luck getting anything close to that from TWW pursestrings

6/4/2009 5:23:41 PM

^ might have an opening in our Raleigh league if you are interested... I might beat the ever living shit out of you at the draft though but after that it would be cool

6/4/2009 5:26:58 PM

What's the timeframe; live draft I'm assuming ? I would love a chance to put my money where my mouth is

6/4/2009 5:29:18 PM

get your money off my dick and in my wallet






live, in-person draft, league is on year 5-6, 2 keepers, you would select your two "keepers" before the draft since you dont have a roster to carry over from last year, usually have the draft in early to mid august in the Raleigh area.

6/4/2009 5:30:03 PM

Very interested...could you show me the roster of the open team that I would be picking keepers from ?

I'm not gonna be gay and say that if I don't like the player available I don't play...I'm just curious

6/4/2009 5:37:38 PM

this is how it would work... everyone that played last year who is also playing this year would select two keepers from their team. All their other players would go back into the draft pool. If there are any owners who dont return this year then ALL of their players would go back into the draft pool as well.

Then, all the new owners, such as you, would have their own preliminary draft a few weeks before the actual draft to select their "keepers"

6/4/2009 5:41:49 PM

Oh I see

Yeah, let me know when the date's approaching a few weeks beforehand, I'll be in Raleigh a lot this summer anyway

6/4/2009 5:50:22 PM

hey Prufrock hows abouts we change one of the 3 WR spots to a flex wr/rb/te?

6/4/2009 10:03:50 PM

Nein.

6/5/2009 11:18:48 AM

Can I join in?

6/5/2009 5:00:40 PM

I am already joined in.... Just let me know of any new rules or updates.... Keeper sounds cool.

6/5/2009 5:16:24 PM

If you have an opening let me know.

6/6/2009 8:17:45 PM

Just did a practice draft on Yahoo! Pick 4th out of 14 in the first round. Here's what I got. Just a no research involved dry run.

1. Larry Fitzgerald (Ari - WR)
2. Thomas Jones (NYJ - RB)
3. Roy Williams (Dal - WR)
4. Tony Gonzalez (Atl - TE)
5. Knowshon Moreno (Den - RB)
6. Carson Palmer (Cin - QB)
7. Chris Chambers (SD - WR)
8. Darren McFadden (Oak - RB)
9. Tampa Bay (TB - DEF)
10. Domenik Hixon (NYG - WR)
11. Ted Ginn Jr. (Mia - WR)
12. Lawrence Tynes (NYG - K)
13. Earnest Graham (TB - RB)
14. Fred Taylor (NE - RB)
15. Brady Quinn (Cle - QB)

6/9/2009 1:19:07 PM

Fitz at 4th get the fuck out of here

6/9/2009 1:29:41 PM

well, if you think the gap between the top WR's is bigger than the gap between the top RB's i wouldnt hesitate to take WR early.

but, considering there'd be 20 picks before you went again, i might have taken a RB. He'd be great mid-late 1st round IMO.

6/9/2009 2:27:41 PM

Theres a lot of two back teams in the NFL now. I am not sure there are 4 feature backs in the league right now with no injury or carry splitting flags. Fitz is the best WR hands IMO

[Edited on June 9, 2009 at 8:23 PM. Reason : ]

6/9/2009 8:21:44 PM

^ who was taken ahead? Peterson, Turner and MJD?

6/10/2009 8:37:04 AM

My mistake, I actually picked 5th and passed on MJD for Fitz

Here is round one. Team 8-14 were autopicks by computer teams. i don't think I would like to play in a 14 team league. 12 is enough IMO. I wanted to take Steven Jackson but I got burned by him last year.

MJD = small injury risk to great for top 5 pick
Westbrook = ankle surgery + McCoy
Williams = splits with Stewart
Gore = I just dont like him or his team
Jacobs = I dont take NFC east teams since I am a Cowboys fan
Johnson = split carries
Portis = I dont take NFC east teams since I am a Cowboys fan
Slaton = 2nd round grade on him. I think Thomas Jones is better at the moment.

(1) rhuntt_rhuntt - Adrian Peterson (Min - RB)
(2) Wil - LaDainian Tomlinson (SD - RB)
(3) Mike C - Michael Turner (Atl - RB)
(4) Tommy - Matt Forte (Chi - RB)
(5) kyleatstate - Larry Fitzgerald (Ari - WR)
(6) gq_4_20 - Maurice Jones-Drew (Jac - RB)
(7) Jason - Brian Westbrook (Phi - RB)
(8) Team 8 - DeAngelo Williams (Car - RB)
(9) Team 9 - Steven Jackson (StL - RB)
(10) Team 10 - Frank Gore (SF - RB)
(11) Team 11 - Brandon Jacobs (NYG - RB)
(12) Team 12 - Chris Johnson (Ten - RB)
(13) Team 13 - Clinton Portis (Was - RB)
(14) Team 14 - Steve Slaton (Hou - RB)

This will get you nowhere fast

Its an acceptable mindset for very casual leagues, but if you adhere to this rule in a serious league, you will quickly find yourself F'd in the A with a BBC

6/10/2009 9:46:52 AM

It does make it tougher I have eluded any BBCs so far though.

6/10/2009 9:50:39 AM

At some point by this weekend I will go in and figure out who from last year hasn't signed up and give them a chance to join again this year if they want to.

Then any spots that open up I'll plug with whoever requests here.

6/10/2009 7:39:24 PM

I got a tough decision at keeper in our league:

AP
Westbrook
Chris Johnson

can keep 2, PPR league...


obviously I am keeping AP, and probably Westbrook...?

6/10/2009 7:48:25 PM

^i'd rather be in your spot than mine...I've got to choose from:

Warner
Palmer
L. Washington
Housh
Hightower
P. Thomas

All OK players, but none great...I might even go with Warner/Palmer and try to trade one for a high pick on draft day.

Westbrook, no doubt. He's been my horse for like five seasons now.

6/11/2009 9:45:09 AM

Westbrook just had ankle surgery and is out until training camp if not more.

6/11/2009 1:19:26 PM

Yeah I read where Westbrook's surgery was down-played a bit and the surgery was a little more serious than first reported.

But I'd also go with AP and Westbrook between those 2.

I've picked LT the last 2 seasons as my keeper...thinking it's time to part ways and keep Brees.

6/11/2009 1:24:20 PM

Thought I'd give this a bump. 9/12 teams accounted for so far.

M.I.A
TD Jake
Mr. Mexico's Pitbulls
Phunky Phresh
& Mr. Bojangles

BTW Who is the new guy? Touchdown There?

7/1/2009 9:15:22 AM

Mr. Bojangles changed their name to Touchdown There this year.

7/1/2009 9:31:40 AM

I look forward to winning this league.....again.

Back to Back Champs anyone?

7/1/2009 9:33:30 AM

<--- Formerly Mr. Bojangles, changed name to be consistent in all leagues. I have been promoted a couple times in the last year so I have much more time for FFB now

7/1/2009 10:19:11 AM

8/10/2009 12:57:57 PM

nvm, figured it out. Are we doing this for money?

[Edited on August 10, 2009 at 1:29 PM. Reason : .]

8/10/2009 1:25:02 PM

Not for money.

8/10/2009 3:13:55 PM

TD JAKE is out


I can't be bothered with free leagues at this point in my life

8/10/2009 3:15:17 PM

I don't mind playing for free. The only that sucks about playing for free is that some people give up during the season, making it not fair for everybody else.

8/10/2009 3:56:25 PM

thats the whole point

If theres no initial investment, whats to keep someone from dropping if they're falling behind ?

yeah, honor, intergrity, whatever, few people have it


this is also why I advocate having prize money trickle further down than just the top 1-2

8/10/2009 4:04:00 PM

I might have a few spots open in a $20 dollar league if anyone's interested.

/thread hijack.

8/10/2009 4:22:07 PM

wait a minute. Is this the league I won last year?

I just looked back and I drafted Tom Brady in the 1st round last year...and still won!

Holy shit, I completely forgot about this.

This is news.

8/11/2009 11:47:49 AM

Draft on Saturday.

8/28/2009 12:04:21 PM

I am so there...at the moment. Damn last minute meeting came up... But I think I found a way out.

8/28/2009 12:16:49 PM

I'm gettin' antsy already.

8/29/2009 9:23:23 AM

so my mom is gonna be up here and we are doing dinner at my aunts house tonight, so I'll either be drafting from there (very likely) or I will have to autodraft

8/29/2009 9:28:00 AM

Good luck big daddy.

8/29/2009 9:38:08 AM

damn thats what i get for being lazy, how did i not see this thread from months ago i would have joined, haha
