pretty nice to win a week with someone on IR against a team with brady, welker, etc.

i was in another league and one of the guys had brady and moss. i came in third. he came in fourth :D

is it about that time again?

why, i believe it is. thanks for digging up the thread. since we still have a little time to get this off the ground, let's talk details. we'll go with a more "standard" config of players (vs. last year's WR-heavy line-up).

what about wager - $25?

grandfathering: i propose that we give first right of entry to last year's participants, and let in new people in as old-timers drop out/don't respond. thoughts?

any other concerns?

i second the grandfather clause (i'm trying to get in again - team salty for life!). i also think that we should go with a standard config. too. less WRs = better to me.

"We Are Both Carls" is ready for another season, hopeful that the team's two starting RB's won't go down with injuries in the first 3 weeks again.

im down again, and hopefully will do better. the 25 wager sounds fun.

i'm in. but probably with a less gross name this year.

in

there will most probably be a few slots opening up, since at least two of the people in last year's league don't post on the board here anymore…

new rule: active boardees only? that would encourage more smack-talk :)

speaking of which, i propose that we open up the first available spot to vansmack. the man talks a big game - let's see if he can actually play it.

Count me in.

Aww, you mean I get to be Brian Wallace's replacement?

I generally have the one league rule because I risk hundreds of dollars in a deep 14 team league and the flogging is public when you suck (there have been and are radio personalities, tv personalities, musicians, writers - you name it). I even do an LA overnight flight just to do the draft in person because it's the highlight of the league - one year we even hired girls on their "off night" to serve us drinks while we drafted. This is serious business.

That being said, my ego can't take being called out. Let me know how you score your league and if it's close enough to my league that I don't have to do a lot of extra research, I'll consider it (plus you play for cash and I have a gambling problem).

4 WR was definitely very, very, very bad.
i believe i'm in, though.

I'm in. I learned a lot last year so I won't make so many mistakes/changes this time. :)

If there are 18 weeks can we have 18 teams in the league? Last year towards the end I had to take on the good teams a second time.

18 teams are waaaay too many

I would argue if I knew what I was talking about.

agreed, anything above 12-14 and you scrape the bottom of the barrel far too quickly. one player having a banner year (a la brady) and it's all over.

i vote we cap it at 12
