8 teams. first come first serve. please don't join if you're going to not pay attention to it. if we can't fill the 8 spots, or run out, it looks like i can adjust before the draft. [SIZE="4"]DRAFT IS SUNDAY AUGUST 14TH!![/SIZE]

i made a ridiculous scoring system. it will be high scoring. lots of players, too...
jimhelm • Aug 6, 2011 2:13 am
you can pre-rank your draft wish list after joining, or let it pick for you.
glatt • Aug 6, 2011 10:30 am
Could you please post updates to this thread if/when it fills up and/or a couple days before the deadline? I had fun a couple years ago doing this but can't really decide right now. If you need another person, that would probably sway me to do it.
jimhelm • Aug 6, 2011 11:16 am

'Course, if'n there are worthier peoples you'd rather have play, let me know and I'll make roomz.

Looking for work will become a more than full time endeavor in a couple weeks and dealing with 5 different legal firms is effing ridiculous. Getting sued by an ASSHOLE is even worse.
glatt • Aug 13, 2011 8:22 pm
Ruff Riders are in.

So if I do nothing, does it just pick a team for me based on default rankings? That's what I want. I'll monitor weekly once the season begins and the injuries and suckitude starts to happen. I'm starting to remember how this works.

This will be fun.

Jeeze, Hebe was supposed to become a River Rat this fall, but we whisked her off to the new high school, so now she's an Eagle. River Rat is a much cooler name.

OK... I had to edit the draft date, It is now the 16th. we still need ONE more team.

So...what's the verdict? Are we playing?
jimhelm • Aug 19, 2011 8:52 am
yeah, we're good to go. 8 teams. Spencer took the last spot. He'll probably kick all our old asses.

draft tomorrow!
infinite monkey • Aug 19, 2011 8:53 am
I saw Spencer on there the other day! Good luck to him! :)
jimhelm • Aug 19, 2011 9:07 am
I'm making the same mistake I always make, and loading my team with Cowboys. I don't care. I want to root for the Cowboys.
infinite monkey • Aug 19, 2011 9:30 am
Draft tomorrow? Oooh, or tonight?

I spent a little time on it but mostly I'll let my amazing good luck guide my team.
jimhelm • Aug 19, 2011 9:46 am
it's dated the 20th... I don't know.. for some reason I think it goes off around 1am.
infinite monkey • Aug 19, 2011 9:49 am
The note on the site said 'before 6 a.m.'

Works for me. I threw some people in place and made sure Pukelisberger and some of his cronies are on the Do Not Want list...I'm good to go.

(This is exciting. I really look forward to football season and it's SO much more fun with various players to root for. Thanks for setting this up, jim.)

Sheesh. Is there a printable schedule somewhere? Just a simple who plays who and when, for the whole season? Maybe with what's on TV?

Yeah, I googled it. I have no patience for fox sports that won't let me print or nfl.com that has way too much other crap on it.

jimhelm • Sep 8, 2011 4:26 pm
Romo or Rothelsberger? That! is the question!
infinite monkey • Sep 8, 2011 4:41 pm
So I need help:

First people on my team roster are normal positions: QB, RB, WR...

Then it gets down the list and there are W/R, next to a Running Back, and Q/R/W/T, next to another Running Back.

Then there are all the ones marked BN.

What do those mean?

I have a RB from NO marked with the Q/R/W/T...am I supposed to put him 'in'? Or do we just leave them as they are unless the team has a bye week, or one is injured? Or is the RB from NO already 'in'?

Sorry. Confused. Only played that one time two years ago. :(
infinite monkey • Sep 8, 2011 4:49 pm

Roethlisberger will have his arm broken by game 5. It has been told by the oracle.
jimhelm • Sep 8, 2011 5:17 pm
The BN players are on your bench. the others are flex positions, you can use whichever you have to fill.
infinite monkey • Sep 8, 2011 6:06 pm
So if I already have those positios gainfully filled, I don't want to change them even though I have no dog in the show tonight? For instance, I wouldn't use the NO guy even if he's playing tonight; because my main team will play later in the weekend? You can't just change them in willy nilly. Can you?

Thanks for the help! :)
Pico and ME • Sep 8, 2011 6:12 pm
Looks like you're cool except for your Q/R/W/T position, that guy is playing tonight and I don't think you want him there, cuz then after tonight you would be stuck with him. You might want to put a higher scoring player in that position instead. Before the game starts.
Pico and ME • Sep 8, 2011 7:15 pm
OK. I have questions.

How are the reserve positions used? Is it for injured players and is there a time limit on it before you can use a reserved player? And how is it distinguished from regular bench players?
jimhelm • Sep 8, 2011 8:18 pm
Uhm... I forget. trying to find it.....
glatt • Sep 8, 2011 9:02 pm
Already I'm enjoying this football season a thousand times more now that I'm in fantasy football.

It's amusing though. I want Green Bay to do well tonight since I've got 2 of their players and their defense too, but I'm playing UT this week, and he's got the Green Bay QB, so when I do well, so does he. How hard do I root for Green Bay?
Undertoad • Sep 8, 2011 9:10 pm
Just accept yer goin' down and enjoy the game
infinite monkey • Sep 8, 2011 9:12 pm
I haz points. With the alphabet guy who I wasn't supposed to play. ;)
Pico and ME • Sep 8, 2011 9:13 pm
I love fantasy football.
Pico and ME • Sep 8, 2011 9:57 pm
L, I gave you (the enemy :p:) really good advice, you know. Right? Ask anybody.

I wouldn't steer you wrong.

But the fact that you didn't follow it, well....:D
Pico and ME • Sep 8, 2011 11:34 pm
OMG. Rogers is at 70 points!!!!!

Vick better produce, but I'm getting worried.
jimhelm • Sep 9, 2011 12:04 am
Holy hell.....


I know i set up a high scoring league and all, but Spencer Has 118.5 points after one game and 4 starters playing!

Good luck zippeh.....


Whook!

I'm lurnin'! I gots a lurnin' curve. :p:

I really wasn't sure what you were telling me to do. Also, I was doing that last posting from my phone and I wasn't even going to attempt a player switchover. By the time I got home from my friend's house I figured "eff it."

So I popped a beer open instead.

Plus, you are the enemy! This week. ;)

71 points, and you've only played one guy so far. It ain't over for me yet this week, but it's going to be uphill.
infinite monkey • Sep 9, 2011 8:56 am
I still don't get the Q/R/W/T thing.
glatt • Sep 9, 2011 9:11 am
Me neither, but it tells you what kind of player you have in that slot, so you can replace them with a similar player from your bench if you want.
infinite monkey • Sep 9, 2011 9:15 am
But I already have the people in "real" positions.

What's this guy supposed to BE? A quarterback? Got Phil. A running back? Got them...

:confused:
Pico and ME • Sep 9, 2011 10:45 am
That a very flexible flex spot - you can put either a quarterback, a running back, a receiver or a tight end there. So, if you want, you can play two quarterbacks.
infinite monkey • Sep 9, 2011 10:50 am
OK, so the guys on the bench (designated by BN) are not "playing" but that position (the QWRT guy) is...got it. QT guy is actually getting points...right?

I didn't know that such a role existed in the FF. Was it like that two years ago?

Thanks for the help! :)
jimhelm • Sep 9, 2011 11:34 am
no... in previous years, you had to do the pay for it version to alter the scoring system. This year, when I was setting it up, I found that I was able to alter the scoring system as well as roster positions.

I set it up to be ridiculously high scoring..... because everyone loves more points!

and I figured we'd have a relatively low amount of teams, so a larger roster would work out ok. I hope it does. I'm already having trouble finding a good RB tho.

And I can't find anything about reserve players, Pico. Where are you seeing that?
Pico and ME • Sep 9, 2011 12:00 pm
In the settings section where it lists roster points and stuff...
jimhelm • Sep 9, 2011 12:34 pm
http://www.nfl.com/fantasy/help/custom-reservedplayer

Reserved Player Position

Custom league managers may choose to enable a Reserve slot to allow an injured or suspended NFL player to be placed on a non-active fantasy roster slot. If a player meets a number of NFL-specific roster designations and you believe upon return to an active NFL roster that he will be an impact player for your team, you can place the player on this Reserve (RES) slot.

Players are eligible for the Reserved slot if they are officially labeled by their NFL team as:

RES: Injured Reserve
NON: Non Football Related Injured Reserve
SUS: Suspended
PUP: Physically Unable to Perform
EXE: Exempt

Once a player is moved to the RES roster position, you will have an open spot on your roster and can add a player to your active roster without the need to drop someone. Note that when the time comes to activate your reserved player, you will need to make a corresponding transaction to ensure your roster meets league-specified roster limits.

Once a player becomes active, you can keep him in your RES spot, but you will be restricted from improving your team via add, drop or trade since your roster will be in an illegal state. Note that your team will still earn fantasy points for matchups that take place, but you can not improve your team via external transactions.
Pico and ME • Sep 9, 2011 1:34 pm
Thanks for finding that, Jim.
jimhelm • Sep 9, 2011 3:29 pm

glatt • Sep 12, 2011 1:58 pm
All I have to do tonight is use my two remaining players to double my score so far, and then I can beat UT.
Pico and ME • Sep 12, 2011 2:20 pm
Oh Gawd, I thought I thought I had this game in the bag. Now I don't have a chance.

Good game River Rats!
jimhelm • Sep 12, 2011 2:28 pm

Hey, why in the heck do fumbles count against the quarterback? They have nothing to do with it.
jimhelm • Sep 18, 2011 11:51 pm
I assumed that only when the qb fumbled, would they assess it against him. You noted otherwise?


Also.... Wow! Spencer got you by 1.1 points, shaw!

Good game, ute. I'm#2!
jimhelm • Sep 18, 2011 11:59 pm

I was at mom and dad's on Sunday, football game on...mom says to dad "Is Hillis out?" I'm like "Wait WHAAAAAAAAAA?"

Hillis had strep throat. I checked and everyone was OK on Friday. I kicked myself for not checking closer to the games.

But it looks like I won anyway. Troop has an RB on injured reserve. :) And Sanchez saved my butt!
Finally one in the win column!

(Can Flying Spaghetti Monsters be beat??????? EVER?) ;)
jimhelm • Sep 26, 2011 9:23 am
I'm scared of him.

I need 13.3 points out of Dallas's D and Demarcus Ware to sneak past glatt.

COWBOOOOYS!
infinite monkey • Sep 26, 2011 9:24 am
I know. I almost posted that glatt and I could both finally get one in the win column, but I see you have games left tonight.

Go jim! No, wait...go glatt! No, I mean jim, I mean glatt.

Oh hell, may the best man win.
glatt • Sep 26, 2011 9:37 am
Jim will almost certainly win. But I could get lucky. So far this season, luck has not been on my side.

Thanks Pico!

We worked hard at practice this week. We knew we had some challenges, and our drills were all built around overcoming those challenges. Sure, Hillis being out was a major blow, but we concentrated on what we worked on, and we prevailed. People say we're a young team, that we need to build. Well, we're building, and we're confident we'll end this season on a winning note. [/every post game interview you've ever heard]]

Pico and ME • Oct 3, 2011 10:12 am
You are tough to beat!

If only I had put in Vick. The problem was who to take out to make room for him - Cam or Fitzpatrick? Had I done it, it probably would have been Cam and I would still be in the same boat.

Is it possible for Addai to get -7 points...:D
jimhelm • Oct 3, 2011 10:18 am
it is. that would suck.
infinite monkey • Oct 3, 2011 12:04 pm
Sanchez netted me minus 11, but I would've been beat even without that. Wtg green!
glatt • Oct 3, 2011 12:33 pm
I'm on track to continue my perfect losing streak. You might look at me and think I'm not trying to win, but I am!
Undertoad • Oct 3, 2011 12:40 pm
Next week's FSM vs Toads matchup will be interesting. He has NO's QB, RB, TE and the third wideout... I have both of NO's top wideouts. I was thinking about dropping one of them, but now... if I keep both in, that will nullify FSM's QB, because throws to my guys will mean points for both of us.

Big game!
jimhelm • Oct 3, 2011 12:46 pm
@glatt: you've just had all the tough opponents so far. You'll win games.
jimhelm • Oct 3, 2011 1:44 pm
bye weeks begin next week, too folks.. watch your players, make sure they're playing.
Undertoad • Oct 3, 2011 2:04 pm
Ah, NO's top wideout is who Spence has. I may just go with my other WRs and let his game go as NO's goes.
jimhelm • Oct 3, 2011 3:00 pm
he's been hurt all year (Colston). Might be back up to snuff this week, though.
jimhelm • Oct 7, 2011 10:35 am
To add a player to your roster, go to MyTeam, look for Add up top, select what type of player you're looking for ...ie...DP .... Find the one you want, hit the green plus sign to add him. You will be taken to your roster so you can select who to drop. Then confirm.
Make sure you go back to your roster and start the new guy, as he will be on the bench by default.

Early in the week, that move won't happen right away, because there's a waiver period.
Pico and ME • Oct 9, 2011 11:13 pm
The hardest effing thing about fantasy football is the hindsight you get only after you've made stupid drop/add decisions. buuuuurrrrnnnnnn

I wish I could find a decent RB. I wish the injuries would just STOP.

OH, and....Look at Eagle Green go!!!
jimhelm • Oct 9, 2011 11:15 pm
Tony has a legit shot to fell the mighty spaghetti monsters this week.
Pico and ME • Oct 9, 2011 11:23 pm
I wish I could root for the Toads, imeandamn -someone has to stop the FSM's, but the Lions have to shut Forte down. Just saying.
(l[SIZE="1"]ike thats gonna happen..:yelsick:)[/SIZE]
Undertoad • Oct 9, 2011 11:30 pm
If that happens I'll just get my points via QB Cutler. It should be just less than enough, by my figuring.
glatt • Oct 10, 2011 10:06 am
The game center predictions are really pretty bad. I understand that there is a lot of randomness and luck thrown into the mix, but so far this season, I've been predicted to be the winner in every match-up by decent margins, (except the one against :fsm:.) You would think after 5 weeks, the randomness would work in my favor at least some of the time.

glatt • Oct 12, 2011 1:18 pm
I know this has been explained before, but why won't they let you trade certain players? I want to get rid of that dud, Hightower, but they won't let me. What makes him so special and untouchable?
bluecuracao • Oct 15, 2011 10:34 pm
Argh, my old computer doesn't want to cooperate with the NFL site.

If my bye-week players end up not being switched out, it's not because I don't care...it's the spinning beach ball of death's fault. :(
jimhelm • Oct 16, 2011 12:07 am
http://fantasy.nfl.com/league/445717/players/undroppable

glatt, are you sure he's undroppable? he's not on that list.

I can't find their explanation, but as I recall, they go on past performance... looking at it now, they may have realized that he's a bum this year and taken him off the list. I don't seem to be able to change that with my league manager powers. you could have traded him if you hadn't announced how bad he was. lol. I need another RB.... want me to take him off yer hands?
jimhelm • Oct 18, 2011 2:36 am
Battle of the undefeated this week....

I may have a shot against the might fsm. Brady, welker and benjarvisgreenellis are all on byes.
glatt • Oct 19, 2011 3:47 pm
I was just looking at that. FSM has half his team out on this bye week. He's going to have a hard time holding on to his good players and also filling those empty slots. It may be the first loss for FSM.
infinite monkey • Oct 19, 2011 4:36 pm
My defense team has a bye.

There's no other defense team to put in, no defense team on the bench. Do I go grab someone who isn't taken??????????????????????????????????????????????
infinite monkey • Oct 19, 2011 4:39 pm
Never mind, I got one.
jimhelm • Oct 24, 2011 3:52 pm
spencer forgot to fix his team up..... looks like i'll win... but the playoffs will be a different thing.
Undertoad • Oct 24, 2011 4:09 pm
To beat you he woulda had to get another QB which might have screwed up his team.
glatt • Oct 25, 2011 8:34 am
Holy crap, I've got a lot of players out on a bye this week.
glatt • Oct 30, 2011 8:18 pm

And I forgot all about it until lunch time today. I must have been in denial. Sorry I didn't give you much of a game UT. You would have won anyway, even if I had switched things around.
infinite monkey • Oct 30, 2011 8:20 pm
Well, glatt, I spend time trying to do the right things, and I get my ass kicked every week.

It's a crap shoot, or I am really stupid.
infinite monkey • Oct 31, 2011 8:37 am
I hate this game. :mad2:
jimhelm • Nov 7, 2011 7:41 pm
I can't believe I'm going to be undefeated. I thought Ute was gonna get me this week. But, he has a kicker vs my wideout and 24 point lead. I'm still not gonna trash talk.... stranger things have happened.
Undertoad • Nov 7, 2011 8:11 pm
If R-berger hadn't thrown that last TD pass... I had the Baltimore defense so it killed me. GG.
jimhelm • Nov 18, 2011 12:05 am
Dammit. Thursday game snuck up on me.

Check your teams! Theres byes again this week!
infinite monkey • Nov 18, 2011 9:50 am
Thanks Cap'n!

I might get a point or two this week. :jig:
bluecuracao • Nov 19, 2011 11:02 pm
Eagle Green is back! Got my new computer, so I can switch my players around now. It won't make much of difference, but it's fun to be playing again.
zippyt • Nov 20, 2011 12:09 am
Troop rocken the 0-10-0 !!!
bluecuracao • Nov 28, 2011 7:05 pm
Zippy, thank you for keeping all your benched players on the bench!
glatt • Nov 28, 2011 8:06 pm
I've kind of forgotten about this season. I'm sorry I'm not into it more.
jimhelm • Nov 30, 2011 1:41 am
This is the last regular season week for our league. As it stands, Spencer and I will have byes next week, while Tony plays Shaw and Blue plays Pico. I will play the winner of the latter match, Spencer the former ....the following week. Then The winners play for first and the losers play for third.
bluecuracao • Dec 5, 2011 1:21 pm
I think it's safe to say the FSMs will be triumphing over Eagle Green this week. I don't think I'll be getting anywhere near 97 points tonight. :lol:
Undertoad • Dec 5, 2011 1:24 pm
I need ten points outta my TE to beat Pico; but I think I don't need to, to retain 3rd seed.
infinite monkey • Dec 5, 2011 1:39 pm
I won!

Only 'cause glatt didn't trade out his inactives. but I'll take it.
Pico and ME • Dec 5, 2011 2:52 pm

Oh God, do I ever have my :fingerx:. But only so I can say I beat one of the big boys. Youse guys have been unbeatable.

Only 10 points,tho...well maybe Gates will twist an ankle or something...;)
infinite monkey • Dec 7, 2011 9:35 am
I wish they would decide if Hillis is going to help the Browns kick the Steelers' ass or not.

As soon as I take him out he'll play and perform as I expected him to when I drafted him! This is how my team rolls.
infinite monkey • Dec 11, 2011 6:06 pm
Is anyone watching the FF scores? Great match-ups! Whatever happens, this FF league made it more fun for me! :)
Pico and ME • Dec 11, 2011 6:58 pm
Your game is neck in neck like mine is.

What an upset if you beat him!
infinite monkey • Dec 11, 2011 7:25 pm
I can only hope that if Rodgers completes passes, they are to Grant and Grant does amazing things. :)
infinite monkey • Dec 11, 2011 7:39 pm
omg I think I won! And Pico won! Good games! :)
Undertoad • Dec 11, 2011 7:57 pm

Pico and ME • Dec 11, 2011 10:07 pm
Congrats Infi!!

I dont think Im going to win this one, Cruz needs to start putting up some serious points quick or I am out.
bluecuracao • Dec 11, 2011 10:27 pm
This sure is a close one...we'll have to hold off on nail-biting til tomorrow night, though.
jimhelm • Dec 12, 2011 4:15 pm
Blue VS Pico.... Pico leads by 18.5 points ....but Blue has the ugliest man in professional sports playing tonight, One Marshawn Lynch of the Seattle Seahawks. He is expected to earn 30.5. we shall see... a good game, regardless of the outcome.

The other match is final. Infinite Monkey has proven yet again, that women are better at sports. Undertoad succumbed to her 243.0 to 223.70. Good game, Infi... and good luck against the FSMs.
Undertoad • Dec 12, 2011 4:27 pm
My 2QB and 1WR went down early in their games with injuries, and my 1QB was taken out of the game for end-of-season safety purposes.


waaaah
infinite monkey • Dec 12, 2011 6:00 pm
I was amazed, having sucked royally most of the season. You just never know, with football. You deserve to be in the tournament, UT. I just got lucky.
Undertoad • Dec 12, 2011 6:01 pm
one of the injuries was a groin
infinite monkey • Dec 12, 2011 6:02 pm
Well I didn't do it! ;)
Undertoad • Dec 12, 2011 6:03 pm
SO YOU SAY!
Pico and ME • Dec 13, 2011 12:16 am
:( Oh well, my dreams are dashed. Damn that was sooooo close.

but...

CONGRATS Eagle Green! Go get 'em in the next round. And Good Luck InFi!
infinite monkey • Dec 13, 2011 8:59 am
Thanks! I'll try to honor UT by winning the whole thing. ;)

(T'would be hilarious, though, t'wouldn't it?)
Undertoad • Dec 13, 2011 10:06 am
You could do that, because teams are starting to rest players for the playoffs... Drew Brees can only generate points if he is on the field... keep up the good work and beat these favorites!

Oh...thanks, Pico! That was super close. My ugly guy didn't do as well as expected, but just well enough I guess.
infinite monkey • Dec 19, 2011 12:07 pm
I'm out.

Good game FSM!

Good luck in the finals.
bluecuracao • Dec 19, 2011 8:50 pm
Um, yeah...I don't think I'll even make it to 200 points from tonight's game. Congrats to the Bullies!
jimhelm • Dec 21, 2011 11:50 pm
I think the losers of the last games play reach other this week for 3rd place.
jimhelm • Dec 22, 2011 12:16 pm
actually, looking at the schedule.... Spencer and I play for 1st place

ALSO!

blue and infini play for 3rd/4th place

and Pico and Tony play for 5th/6th place

SO set your teams up one more time, folks!
infinite monkey • Dec 22, 2011 12:17 pm
Cool! The gauntlet has been thrown. I'm going to be 3rd. Or 4th.
jimhelm • Dec 22, 2011 12:17 pm
OH!

and there's a consolation game scheduled to see who is the worst!
infinite monkey • Dec 22, 2011 12:23 pm
Rats. If I can't be the best, I want to be the worst! I suck at being worst. But actually for participating pretty religiously all season my record reflects the worst in terms of participation vs results. I'll take it!
glatt • Dec 22, 2011 12:47 pm
I want to be the worst. I need to put in players who will lose points, not just get zero points.
jimhelm • Dec 27, 2011 10:49 am
well, you did it! yay!

Spencer is the big winner.... I loaded my roster up with Cowboys, and due to the results of the Giants/jets game.. the outcome of the Cowboys Eagles game became immaterial. .....And the sun was in my eyes.

Thanks for playing, everyone!
