Damn I didn't pay attention to how the playoffs worked and didn't know I was playing this week. I didn't set my team for the consolation game. Was there a 3rd place prize that I screwed myself out of?

unfortunately, yes - 3rd place prize is $25.  ugh...  next year?

my take: it'll come down to whether or not Vick pulls a superman tomorrow night.

nevermind.
 
plus you got philly d against an incompetent QB.

eh, can't say incompetent...

wow, what a final.  bookerT's decision to not start webb was very honorable and we went down to the last minute of last night's game without knowing if the threepeat was on or not.  i looked forward to waving a victory in BookerT's face but right now i'm humbled.  i consider myself very lucky to have won.  vick pulled a half superman, which was enough.  luckily i also finished the regular season in first place so i'll take that as backup of my superiority ;D

once again i had a blast playing FF with you lot.  hope to see you all, and maybe a new face or three, next year.  enjoy the (real) playoffs.

Are we doing this? Where's my invite?

I'd like to suggest a couple minor rules changes, like allowing percentage points.

yes, let's do this!  i'll set up the league this afternoon - unless anyone else wants to commish (commisherate?).

i'm happy to implement any and all rule changes, as long as no one in the league strongly objects.  by percentage points, do you mean fractional points - like 12 yards rushing is 1.2 points?

yada - please try again, i've added 2 spots. 

former managers - please accept or decline your invites as soon as possible.  looks like we have a folks who would like to join, but can't.

aspiring new managers: if you can't sign up right away, please wait a little.  spots will open up as last year's managers retire.  i suspect that several of them won't be making decisions until tonight/this weekend.

I'm either non internet savvy or I don't have an option to join the league. Maybe because I"m already in another Yahoo league?

nah, being in one league won't stop you from joining, so that's not the issue.

GOT IT: if you're already in a league, you need to join through this page: http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/signup (otherwise, you're taken to the page of your other league)

one semi-major rule change worth considering -- set it so all free agents are on waivers from the time the week's first game starts through the monday night game. this will prevent someone from scoring a hot free agent pickup just because they happen to be at a computer at 145pm when a star running back gets injured. this really levels the playing field.

I have dropped out of more leagues than I can count because they don't adopt this rule.  However, I would set it for kick off of that teams games.

For example, when the 1 o'clock games kickoff, all of those players are locked.  When the 4 o'clock games kick off, they're now locked and so on.

That way if you have injury concerns about the 4, Sunday night or Monday night game, you can still make moves to grab a back up.  Nothing worse than needing one point from Marshall Faulk on a Monday night to tie, 2 to win and finding out that he isn't playing 15 minutes before kickoff, especially when the fullback and third down back of the Rams were available.  I'm not saying this happened in 2001 or anything....
