My wizard casts magic missle for 12 damage.

this is your year, Melvin.

Goats are back!

Eagle Green is in!

There were 2 errors.
You are already a member of this league.
The league is full.

what is this i don't even

I'm in.

I think if we have new players, I will need to increase the number of teams. If you were a member last year, you just need to log in and set your Draft preferences.

yay!

Clod?
Glatt?
Zippy?

Amanda and Spencer are in.

I think I have a cow orker that could fill a spot, but I'd rather add 2 teams this season.

He about you, bigV?

I set the draft for auto draft random order, snake pattern... which means that 30 minutes before draft, the computer will assign a draft order. Once the order is determined, the first team will draft it's first ranked player...then 2nd...down to last...then the last team goes again, and it goes back up the list and back and forth in that pattern. That seems to be the most fair way.

I let the points system I set up last year carry over... did any one have any objections to the way that worked last year?

>>>>>DRAFT DAY IS FRIDAY AUGUST 23RD<<<<<<<

log in and set your draft rankings....or let the guru do it for you. I had terrible luck last year setting my own order. I'm going to either very carefully and soberly set mine, or just let the defaults ride. It took me half the season last year to get my team competitive.

I'm in, I think. I kept getting errors, but it they said things like I was already in. So I think I'm in. Am I in? I'm going with the default rankings for the draft, so I assume I do little until after the draft and I see how things look for that first game.

right!

I accept your personal invitation, thank you. Hammer and Tongs will beat all y'all.

... however. I must reiterate:
I *know* about football, I get it, I just don't follow it. I'll be relying heavily on the wizards and defaults and auto-fill helpers in the system. Also, stuff that I see in the news, friendly (and unfriendly) tips from others, and random, crazy ivans will figure prominently in the "management" of my team.

It'll be fun... to watch... like a chain reaction smashup on the freeway, just with less blood. :3_eyes:

Excellent!

I updated the league name and divisions. It is cellar13. We now have 12 teams in 3 divisions: Earth, Wind and Fire.

If you still see 2 divisions, funky groovy, log out and back in.

Clod! You're in unless you say otherwise. Please confirm.

come on clodfobble... I know I'll be your first (game this season); I'll be gentle.

Goats have ordered their picks with all the precision of a seemingly sober Joseph Hazelwood.

Troop shall STOMP !!!!!!

Ruff Riders will end somewhere in the middle.

The Capybaras are ready for their underdog-comeback-mighty-ducks season!

I SOLEMNLY SWEAR this will be the year... that I don't come in last place.

Ooh, I was counting on them being last. Maybe my guys will take that slot.

Teams are drafted! Tony cheated again, and got P Manning AND Brees. Dickhole.

I have no good WR, as usual. One good RB. Anyone that wants or needs a qb, I will trade Flacco or Schaub for a #1 WR/RB

Zippy has a good team. As does clobble.

I might take either of them for Austin? He's a good WR from the Cowboys. Cowboys, Jim, Cowboys.

He's the best of my benched WRs.

Victory will be mine.... AGAIN

w00t! Let the games begin! I'd take Vernon Davis off your hands Jim...

I'll be in touch. ;)

Pure skill, baby.

Huh. Looks like there might be games on Thursday. I better check my lineup.

yep, Baltimore at Denver 8:30 Pm

Shaw,

I see that you are starting Tuel as a qb. I saw on nfl channel today that he will not play. The bills are starting e j Manuel.

Fyi

thanks man. i am in a fog until the season gets going. i appreciate the tip, especially seeing that you're my opponent this week. i will try to check it. :)

You gotta watch that guru.

I had hester, and he was projected to get 19 points. ... but you read the analysis, c and it says he will only do returns, no receiving. I offed him.

I tend to look at projected points, and I see that they are still listing Tuel with like 30 points. I followed the guru but my projected total went down.

So, basically, I'm not sure I understand where they are getting the projected points from.

For example they said start Bernard (and I'm glad to just because I love the name Giovani) and bench Ponder but Ponder's projected points are 14 and Bernard's are 4.

Sigh...I guess I'll see soon if Imma love the guru or hate the guru. Other players...what say you?

Hate the guru. I think the guru uses the standard lig* point system and not the system that James has put in place for our lig.



*Philly pronunciation of "league"

Well then I don't know how I fill about changing playas. Which is the rill dill? ARGH.

You know, I was first place last year in whatever they called moving players around (managing?) and maybe I should stick with my gut.

no, it uses our scoring with the stats it thinks they will achieve.

quarterbacks don't score 40+ points in most leagues.

shaw, this is what I saw:

http://helmwelchcini.league.fantasy....7/players/news

EJ Manuel named as the starter. unless he gets hurt early, Tuel is a bench rider this week.

Yeah, i didn't know that either before you told me. thanks!

of course it's all part of the game. using the available resources to make choices that may or may not pay off is the point!

good luck everybody!

what the crap. jacoby just got blasted by his own teammate. looks hurt too

I don't really even have the energy to say boo yah but it appears Mr. P. Manning has set me up with 105 points on opening day. Sorry Amanda!

Mr. Manning was 27 of 42 for 462 yards with seven touchdowns, which nobody has done in 44 years, and no INTs.

~

I can't believe there is a player named I. Pead. How much shit do you think he's gotten over the years?

I am almost ready to declare Mr. Manning the "real deal" but maybe we need to see a couple more starts. ;)

:lol:

He's probably still pissed about it

Geez, nice D, Ravens. I should've known better. Who was my D last year? SF?

Nice Demaryius, though.

Yeah. Nice. Real nice.

Hopefully, Romo will also throw 7 touchdowns. ... that would be cool.

I'm sure he will.

Meanwhile, Ponder is sitting at 28 pts, while the guy i replaced him with has 4 pts.

I really hope I win anyway.

I think I've got you this week Shaw.

Think so! good game.

I need to shrpen up my team. i never left points on the bench like that last year. that was why i got that damn coaxhing recognition. :)

Hey, I think I won last week! I won last week, right? I got 190 points, which seems really high to me, but fuck if I know.

There are still games tonight, so it's not over yet. But you're in a very good position.

You've got a bunch tonight eh glatt?

I've been watching off and on tonight. It's painful.

How come in the game center, the little write up about my team says I still need to fill one empty position? I thought I had them all filled. I checked other teams too, and everyone still has to fill one empty position.

What am I missing? Is that just some glitch to be ignored?

the latter, I think. I don't know when those 'articles' are written. Might have been generated while you were in the midst of adjusting your lineup.

Is it the RES spot? Because I couldn't do anything with the spot until my star RB has now broken his wrist and is on the IR for the next 10 weeks. He's in my RES spot.

It's all effed up: your defense is empty. No, it's not, I just traded it and added it and it shows on my list. I don't remember it being confusing any of the other years. I didn't exactly want to go to college to figure out how to manage my team...I was sort of thinking that having a pretty decent knowledge of the game itself would be helpful...never mind that I may be loyal to players who are not in my best interest. Where the fuck is that Jimmy the Greek guy?

I got a fuck whore team anyway...pretty sneaky sis.

And wtf? Ponder's showing 0 projected points but it doesn't say he's not playing.

Meh.

*chuckle* tell us how you really feel!

Yeah, I don't care for the new look. And it is a little confusing. I wondered about that 0 points thing too, for one of my guys.
