fantasy football: a league of our own

so according to my reading of our yahoo page, all managers have renewed… is that right?  has everyone accepted?  if anyone wants out, please let us know ASAP.

do we want to open up the league to two more players?  we're currently at 8 teams.  i think that 10 is a fine number, wouldn't want to go any higher tho.

late with this, but here goes:

the online draft is currently set for next Tuesday, Sept 6 at 9:00 pm.

i have created an online poll to see if there is a better time for folks.  managers, please log on to our Yahoo page and read the commission's note or the "Vote on the draft time - please do so ASAP!" discussion topic.  link is in both.  please do this now!

i have added lunch-time options and an evening slot for Labor Day Monday, in case those works out better for folks. 

Commish, reminder on buy-in and details for sending?

we have room for 2 more teams, in case there are two more who want to play this year.  given that we're a head-to-head league we can't accept just one.

$25, paypal'able to my gmail.  i'll post details on the yahoo site.

last call for managers to vote in the poll… it's looking 99% certain we're going to move the draft to monday night at 9:00 since that seems to work for everyone.  hurray!

it's official: we're moving the draft to monday (tomorrow!) night, at 9:00 pm.

i'll post a note on the yahoo site and send around an email. 

get yer smack-talk ready and see you in about 27.5 hours.

Even with the autodraft I still managed to draft a Redskin. And Le'veon Bell. Cripes.

great, just great… gronk, my #2 pick, is out.  great way to start the year, team.

that blown call by the ref on the HOU punt block is just another sign from the FF gods that i am cursed.  that should have been 8 points for me, instead i'm likely to lose by a few points….  this season has been one litany of bad luck for me.  EFFING HELL.

I hate bye weeks.

I have Leveon Bell [sp] on my bench, but I don't want to take any of my RBs or WRs out! They've all been killing it! First world problems.

Pretty bummed. I picked up Jamison Crowder because I saw Matt Jones was out, not realizing the waiver request wouldn't go in until like 3am on Saturday night. I ended up being extremely hungover and missed the kick off the Skins game so I have a big fat zero sitting in my line up while Crowder actually had a good game with nearly 18 points. Can't be too mad at 7-1 though. Still. The little things.

I could have started nearly any other combination of players and made it much closer if not winning outright.  C'est la vie.

So you're sitting at 7-1, and the rest of the league is either 4-4 or 3-5.  It's shaping up to be a messy, tie-breaker-laden scramble for three of four playoff spots.

i'm finally out of the cellar.  looks like the FF gods finally got tired of beating up on me.

Can't wait to keep up my DC tradition of losing in the 1st round

Even though I came in 2nd place last year! If you ain't first, you're last!  :(

You are welcome.  ;D

well well well, look who just snuck into the last playoff spot…

(yes, i realize i'll need to hold on to it over the next 3 games for it to mean anything, but i'm basking in what little glory i have while i have it…)

Pretty upset I picked up the Miami defense and they only got me 7 points. Making me look like an idiot. Smh.

funny how bunched up the league is…. currently 3rd, with 3 games to go, without really poring over the schedule, I can still catch the first place team, and conversely, last place team can still catch me…..

I'll never be caught

I hope
