fantasy football: a league of our own

[Shadrach]

let's not lose shadrach... so how about a 12:30 pm lunch-hour draft on thursday?

I just realized that I sound a bit like a cry baby. So in the spirit of not being a complainer...

If it were up to me we would do this thing during the day like before when each of us is most likely on or near a computer, but if we can't then I suppose I can try pre-ranking my players and let Yahoo auto-draft for me. But just for the record, I will be using this as a season long excuse should my team suck, which it most likely will if I have to auto-draft.

Thanks for the consideration though.

didn't sound whiney to me, and i'm perfectly happy having our draft be a nooner.  would allow me to participate, so i'm mildly in favor. 

anyone against a 12:30 pm draft? 

[killsaly]

I would only be against it if it was on a Tuesday or Thursday, as I am in class and cant leave until 1:45 pm.  Any time other than that would be good.  I would prefer the evening, but late afternoon works as well.

i'm hoping the following time meets everyone's needs: Friday, Sept 4 at 12:30 pm.  yes, lunch-time on friday.  any whiners feedback?!?

[crevers]

Sigh.  My work computer failed the "test your system" link, I'm guessing b/c our internet is routed through London.  Which means I'll pretend to have yet another doctor's appointment on yet another football draft day.  As long as we don't have a repeat of last year, where 9 teams = draft doesn't happen.

sold - draft has been moved, for a final time (i swear) to this Friday, September 4 at 12:30 pm.   ill update in in yahoo sports later this morning.

i should be out of my ortho appointment by then. *crosses fingers*
nothing like missing fantasty football draft due a real sports injury...

draft is in about 30 minutes.

still at 8 teams.  should make for a lot of player availability, less scrapping the bottom of the barrel... could be interesting.

I hope auto draft does me ok.  I guess my work computer isnt live draft compatible... Good luck everyone!

I recognize most of the names on my team so I think I did okay.  Thanks autodraft.

[sweetcell]

the draft was good but a bit weird... even in the last round, there were legitimate picks left.  i'm used to being down to the nubbins at that point.   we're going to have a very high-scoring league this year

[distance]

i'll be back in next year.  you should post updates every few weeks for those of us not involved.

Lawyers, insurance firms cash in on fantasy football

good grief.  i'm being crushed by the philly defense - they're currently putting up 29 points!  don't think i've ever seen a score that high by a D.  hope carolina starts scoring.  fast.

conundrum: start anquan boldin (barely healthy but will start, he's less than 100% but still #2 receiver on a pass-happy team up against SF, breaston is inactive so boldin should see a number of attempts), or go with SDG's vincent jackson (also #2 but on a less pass-happy team, rarely stellar but dependable)?  i'm going with jackson for now.

brees is such a fantasy STUD.  358 yards, 6 TDs, 1 INT, 37 fantasy points... is that a record?
