fantasy football: a league of our own

We do it in 2 out of the 4 leagues I'm in. A lot of people don't get picked up. I think it's fair. I lost and have nothing to play for and am not going to be checking this league ever again because I will not be allowed back in for even suggesting this course of action as a possibility and Sweetcell surely won't invite me back next year if he has any sense.

FTFY

fine, so don't play any more, go back to your basement for the next 9 months, whatever; but don't go trying to throw the league outta whack by changing the balance and giving other teams an unearned and unfair advantage.  

i am a merciful and generous commish so i shall look the other way, but c'mon… other people still care.  there is pride and money on the line here.  i would be pissed if i lost in the playoffs because my opponents acquired your star players.

edit: and if you do indeed decide to not play anymore, BookerT will get an easy pass to the consolation round finals.  booooooo.  take him down!

Alright. Some leagues do it and some don't. No big deal. I won't drop anyone.

every calm down.  i will believe DFA when he says that it's normal in his other leagues (what a fucked up thing to do, tho - essentially turning your superbowl into the probowl!).  as long as he doesn't actually dump his team, he's playing within the rules of our league.  to be fair we never said you couldn't/shouldn't do this (then again, who the hell ever thought we would have to specify it).  he didn't know, luckily told us before he did it, we set him straight, now all is good.

good luck to all teams - playoffs start tonight!

In our other leagues we like to take sides. It's a little more about bragging rights and buying each other beer. So we have our allegiances to some. It's like a clash of titans. Plus if the person you trade with wins, you can play the old "You wouldn't have made it without me!" card.  ;)

So, you're openly acknowledging your reason for doing this would be collusion?

Intentionally trying to mess with the results is arguably the only more enraging thing than just doing it without giving a crap.

Collusion is the name of the game. People collude against me in one league because I've won or been in the championship 3 years in a row. I'm also a terrible dick as a champion because, duh, I'm better than them all. It's all in good fun.

sooooo, BookerT…. we meet again.

bump :)

ok, i'm back from 2 weeks offline… i didn't learn about the final outcomes of week 16 until i touched down in dallas on my way back this past weekend. 

the official results:
1st Place Stillwater
2nd Place team salty
3rd Place Crump's Brother

i'll post my end-of-year recap soon.  monies will be paid out soon, too.  congrats Stillwater!

League930 Final Standings for 2014

Stillwater is our 2014 champion after a convincing win over team salty (retrospect) in the finals.  Stills gets bragging rights and $150, salty gets has $65 to buy bandages.  third place (and $25) goes to Crump's Brother (jeffml).  He dominated the regular season but had a bad week in the semis.  he nudged out Hoya Paranoia.

neither the Booker Tbars nor my NJ Barebacks had a great final game, but apparently mine wasn't as bad as BookerT's and i earned 5th.  Flying Elbows (DFA1979) took 7th place from Godieinhell2 (wml7).

normally i keep track of the "does anyone really care?" bracket (AKA 9th through 12th place), but given my travels this year and current bout of laziness…. y'all are on your own We Are Both Carls (crevers), scumbag steve (stevewizzle), Pigskin&Pigtails6949 and Something Witty (Yada).

thanks everyone for a fun season!  i hereby declare that 2015 will be The Year of the Smacktalk.  hope to see y'all back and with a more ornery attitude. 

enjoy the real playoffs,
da commish

God damn auto draft screwed me!

awrite folks, i'll be firing up League930 in the coming days… get ready for it.

sorry for the delay, but the league is now re-opened.  last year's managers should have received an invitation to renew their team.  if you do not want to play this year, please decline the invitation as soon as possible so that we can give your spot to someone else.  any manager that hasn't accepted by August 31 may have their team deleted and their spot given to someone else…

currently there are no open spots, but if anyone would like to join please let us know in this thread. 

dues will be $25, payable before the start of week 2.  a certain manager - and you know who you are - will be watched very closely ;D

NFL & FF season starts on thursday, sept. 10.

The Fightin' Carls are back.  Dues to the usual address, sweetcell?
