3. Perfect Stu (x)
4. BreakABone (x)
5. Professor S
6. mickydaniels (x)
7. uber_paddler (x)

Online draft is set for Sat Aug 30 1:00pm CDT.

[Jason1]

Yea sure I'll play.

[Perfect Stu]

I'd be in as always

[BreakABone]

I'll try.
I will be getting help from a friend if no one minds as I don't really follow much.

[Bond]

That's fine, BaB.

Let's get four more people to signup!

I'll be PMing the league information later today.

[uber_paddler]

I'm down.

[Yoda9864]

I suck at fantasy football. But if you need one more I'll draft and let them sit all season long.

[Professor S]

I'm down. Lets do this thing.

[mickydaniels]

Heh, I've always made fun of fantasy football.

But, I'll try it this time, as long as it's free.

[Bond]

League info PMed to Professor and mickydaniels.

We need two more players!

[The Germanator]

I'd normally be down, but I think I'll be on tour for about half of the football season, so I don't think I'll even be able to keep up with it.

[uber_paddler]

I'm down.
:tiphat:

[Bond]

Oh no, sorry uber! I didn't see you.

We need one more person then to have an even number.

[Bond]

We just need one more person to sign up so that we have even teams.

This will be fun with only eight teams, you're basically guaranteed to get all star players.

[jeepnut]

I guess I could play to even out the teams. I will warn you, I am horrible.

[Bond]

Alright, league info has been PMed to uber and jeepnut.

[jeepnut]

Alright Jason, hope your 69ers are ready for the Metalheads.

P.S. Where's the eighth team?

[Bond]

We just need Professor to sign up.

[Jason1]

Haha, 69ers...

so immature...

[flunkie44]

Any more room? No?

[Bond]

I'd like to keep the league at eight teams, since we have a lot of inexperienced players.

If Professor doesn't signup within the next few days I'll PM you the the info and you can have his spot, flunkie.

How long do these drafts typically take?
What happens if someone is late or can't stay for the whole thing?

[Bond]

About 1.5 hours.

If someone doesn't show up or leaves the computer will auto-draft for them.

[jeepnut]

About 1.5 hours.

If someone doesn't show up or leaves the computer will auto-draft for them.

The only other time I've played, the computer auto-drafted for me and I think I had a fairly good team. I wouldn't have known who to pick anyways, so it was probably for the best.

I will be auto-drafting this time as well since I will be at a University of Michigan football game on draft-day.

You bastard. I'm jealous...I made the trek down once from here in Toronto...totally awesome experience.

Thus are the perks of being an Alumni. I had season tickets in '06 and '07 when I was a student. :D

[RagedHybrid]

me me me!!

[Professor S]

All signed up.

[RagedHybrid]

failboat.

[BreakABone]

If RagedHybrid really really wants in, I'm willing to give up my spot if it is still possible.

All for giving other people a chance to become more active in the community.

[Perfect Stu]

Awesome. Go Blue!

[Bond]

Draft is today in under an hour!

I hope everyone hasn't forgotten. Sorry I didn't send out a reminder sooner. :(

[Bond]

Wait... when did we get nine teams?

I guess we're going to need one more person to join before we can draft.

[mickydaniels]

Wait... when did we get nine teams?

I guess we're going to need one more person to join before we can draft.

Are you serious?

[Bond]

Yes. I don't know how we have nine teams, I limited the league to eight.

[Jason1]

Oh good, haha I totally forgot about it...doh!

[mickydaniels]

Yes. I don't know how we have nine teams, I limited the league to eight.

maybe someone signed up twice?
I tried logging in today, following the link form the pm, and found that I created another team. I erased it since I realized what happened. Maybe it happened to someone else too?

[Bond]

The draft is now set for TOMORROW AT 1:45 PM CT.

[Jason1]

The draft is now set for TOMORROW AT 1:45 PM CT.

Okay cool...that *should* work for me...

[uber_paddler]

I'm moving in to my dorm tomorrow, so hopefully I'll be available. If I'm not there then that's why. Then again, That's almost 4:00 here, so I should be available.

[Jason1]

8 mins...

[Professor S]

Brooklyn Bandits - mickydaniels
Big Stu's Horseshoe - Perfect Stu
TheBees - BreakABone
The 69ers - Jason1

[Jason1]

I was smart and put my name in parenthesis, so that wouldnt be an issue. But good idea.

[BreakABone]

So first big weekend.

Everyone got their teams ready?

[Bond]

I was looking at the matchups a little bit ago, should be some close games.

[The Germanator]

Please tell me someone has McNabb

16/24 for 297 yards and 3 TD....In the FIRST HALF

[BreakABone]

Please tell me someone has McNabb

16/24 for 297 yards and 3 TD....In the FIRST HALF

Stu's got him. :lol:

[Bond]

Wow. Looks like Tom Brady is out for the season.

[Professor S]

I forgot my login and password. How did I do?

[mickydaniels]

Brooklyn Bandits 76, Rough Riders 61 (provisional)
You're only waiting for the Minnesota defense, but it looks like you've lost this weekend.

More scores:
Metalheads 69, 69ers 68 Final
The Bees 94, Acme Packers 44 (provisional)
BigStu's Horseshoe 116, Team Uber 72 (provisional)

I was looking at the Metalheads/69ers matchup. Pretty damn even throughout the weekend, and only a single point difference.

I felt bad for Team Uber, Stu took a pretty damn early lead.

Barring any miraculous performances, I think I got Bond this week.

[Jason1]

blah, a bad week for me...some changes might be in order

[BreakABone]

A good week for me thanks to Bond's boozing. ;)

[Perfect Stu]

Got a little lucky with Michael Turner and McNabb going insane, but I did make the call to bench Larry Johnson in favor of Turner because of their matchups.

*pats self on back*

[Bond]

Another week of football begins shortly.

Let's see how everyone does.

[BreakABone]

What ever happened to the weekly football threads?

My co-worker had the Giants game on when came in today so figured I continue watching it.

Think first time watched most of a game that wasn't the Superbowl.

[Jason1]

why dont the matchups update the points live? I couldve sworn they did last week...

[uber_paddler]

I was wondering the same thing.

[mickydaniels]

Each matchup is still waiting on points from tonight's game.

Scores so far:

Bandits 96, Uber 80
Packers 75, 69ers 68:D
Rough Riders 51, Bees 50
Metalheads 95, Horseshoes 38

[Jason1]

If Marion Barber gets 9 points tonight, I win. Pretty much a sure thing.

[BreakABone]

I need two points between 2 players and their defense to win this round. I assume this will be no problem.

[Professor S]

How the hell am I winning? I still don't have my password and I'm still starting Tom Brady for Christ's sake.

[mickydaniels]

Finals:
Bandits 117, Uber 107
69ers 91, Packers 75
Bees 89, Rough Riders 51
Metalheads 95, Horseshoes 66

[uber_paddler]

This is lame. I have the second highest score in the whole league, but I still lost.

[mickydaniels]

Provisional scores:

Bandits 79, Metalheads 59
Horseshoes 95, Packers 56
Bees 69, 69ers 60
Uber 89, Rough Riders 72

Interesting that Ronnie Brown was dropped by the Bees.

[BreakABone]

So looks like I won again.

I think Jason's team is done for the week.

[Bond]

Wow, I am doing horribly.

[Jason1]

What a horrible week.

[mickydaniels]

Week 4
Packers 105, Bandits 79 Final
Metalheads 89, Uber 60 Final
Horseshoes 121, Bees 76 (provisional)
69ers 61, Rough Riders 35 (provisional)

No more undefeated teams.

[BreakABone]

Yeah, I was doing so well too.

Damn Stu's team!

[Perfect Stu]

Could have had 30 more points if I played the correct RB's. Oh well, looks like I'll be in 1st place tomorrow.

[mickydaniels]

Horseshoes 121, Bees 87 Final
69ers 97, Rough Riders 40 Final

Horseshoes 3-1 (424)

Acme Packers 58
Team Uber 123

The 69ers (Jason1) 77
Big Stu's HorseShoe 94

Metalheads 62
The Rough Riders 81


I think most of these are final since few of us have Monday games. Feel sorry for the Metalheads who lose to Prof without a QB or his password to change teams.

[Professor S]

People want to trade with me, but I can't even do that :D

Still, victory is sweet, even if accidental.

[jeepnut]

That's what you get when every single one of your starting WR is either suspended or on a bye week and no one else picks up the slack. D'oh!

Well played Professor. Well played.

[BreakABone]

This thread in NO way is being bumped because I took back first place in the league...

It's just to complain that I had a close encounter with Professor and he was missing 3 people!

[Professor S]

Such is the strength of my voodoo kung fu.

[Perfect Stu]

not in first place with the top amount of points scored? thats OK, cream always rises to the top

[BreakABone]

not in first place with the top amount of points scored? thats OK, cream always rises to the top

You and uber with these "points" listen, I get it.. you are beating me... just let the record shows who is number 1 at the moment.

Can we let me brag for a week? :p

[BreakABone]

Update for the movers and shakers

Unless Stu's QB pulls out the performance of a lifetime. Looks like I will take a nice lead over him.

Professor will win his second game unless Uber's player kills it.

Metalheads will move up to second. Meaning the top 2 scorers and top ranked teams will have a divide of like 3 positions.

I will still be first. :P

[BreakABone]

The final four turned out to be myself, Bond, Stu and Uber.

And it appears that I have moved on after a close matchup with Bond.

Stu and Uber is REALLY close with only 3 points seperating them. Uber has a player for tonight and Stu has his defense.

Can go either way.

Personally, pulling for Uber... Stu was the only person I was unable to defeat this year. :p

[jeepnut]

Wow, I forgot about this...

[BreakABone]

Well looks like Stu's defense squashed Uber's player so I don't get my wish

And in the finals get to play the one person I have yet to beat when all the chips are down.

[mickydaniels]

All thoseThursday games screwed me. I had a 4 game losing streak when that started.

[BreakABone]

Ladies and gentlemen (well I guess we no longer house ladies here) please welcome your 2008 Fantasy Football champion, and extreme bragger for the next year...

ME! :D

[Perfect Stu]

Hey, you earned it on the final week.
