fantasy football: a league of our own

[sweetcell]

up to seven teams.  we need at least one more although 3 would be ideal.  shadrach would prefer 5, so we get to 12-team league.

other than the TBDs, managed by brian_c_wallace, it's all returning teams.  let's bring in some new blood.

mmmmm.  bloooooooooood...

I'm more than happy with 10, but 8 is eh.

Im in, sorry i havent accepted the request yet.  Hopefully I will do a bit better this season.

we're up to 10 teams, so for the moment i've locked down the league.  if any late-comers want to join, please PM me.  we'd need a pair of you since a head-to-head league requires an even number of teams.  i'd like to avoid last year's last-minute scramble to find a team (or what it the previous year?).

for the managers who are signed up, please review the league settings at http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/147240/settings - no changes from previous years, i believe.

REMINDER: Draft Time is Monday Aug 30 at 8:00pm EDT 

god luck to everyone, and remember: don't let BookerT win.

In the future it would be nice if we could select the draft order ahead of time to help us prepare. I don't know if there's a fair way to do this, but it would be beneficial.

Something to think about for next season.

I think that's something standard with Yahoo.  The draft order always seems to be set only about a half and hour before the draft.  I'm not even sure if you can physically set it to be revealed earlier.

The commissioner has the ability to set the draft order in advance.

have i mentioned that i have the #1 draft pick? 

just kidding... i didn't know that the commish could set the order.  certainly something i'd be happy to do in the future.

i think it's too late to change the order for today - i mean, technically it could be done but i don't like such last-minute changes.  brian is correct, draft order will be revealed at 7:30 tonight.

Ugh. Having trouble loading

Any thoughts from week 1?

[BigDavid]

I won...that is a nice thought.

league's-bitch-of-the-week award goes to We Are Both Carls.  he scored the second-most points so only one team could beat him... unfortunately, that was his opponent (T-Bars).  so he's in 6th place, with over twice as many points as the person in 5th.

matt forte racks up 30 points, aka a fifth of what he got all season last year?!?  and who is this arian foster kid?  he puts up 41 points - when he only scored 47 all season long in 2009?!?  it's official, folks.  bookerT either has very, very powerful friends or has made a deal with the devil (same thing, i suppose).

on my team, i was sorely disappointed that Sims-Walker and Harvin combined for a 1 point.  nice work guys.  had they pulled their own weight, We Are Both Carls probably wouldn't be feeling so bad right now

interesting that this week, #1 plays #3 and #2 plays #4. 

(latest rumor: this year's SB half-time show = black eyed peas.  i see some half-time grilling in my future...)
