I was just checking out my other leagues on Yahoo and guess what time it is....

OK, you're on the clock ... 0:59 ... 0:58 ... 0:57 ... - Roto Arcade - Fantasy - Yahoo! Sports (http://sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/blog/roto_arcade/post/OK-you-re-on-the-clock-0-59-0-58-0-;_ylt=ArliyTUvA71RfMPbO1ANd7VNC5kB?urn=fantasy,871 43)

Looks like they've made some improvements for this year.

Some of these tools, like percent-owned and started information, are strategically useful; other tools, like our smack-talk enhancements, are designed to escalate hostilities in your league to the brink of violent conflict.

The draft room experience has also been improved. One of the bullets underneath "New Live Draft App" on the game's propaganda page says, "Don't miss a turn with our new audio alerts."

It's that time already?

It's that time already?
Oh yeah baby!

Well, the season doesn't actually start for several more months, but the time to start thinking about football is upon us. You can already create a league in Yahoo.

What? You mean you guys haven't already started compiling your draft cheatsheets?

I guess thats what it takes to win one of these leagues. I'll be back to defend my title, with Brady or not.

Football season is almost here and I didn't even realize it. I guess it is time to start thinking about it...

I already said Hell NO. I mean it.

NO

I really really doubt it...really.

Darth, I believe your signature may be offensive to both Jammer and Roscoe. You see, Eskimo usually only refers to the indigenous people of Alaska or Siberia, whereas those from arctic Canada and Greenland should be referred to as Inuits.
And Roscoe should just be referred to as Camericanian.

Oh, and yeah, does anyone want to play fantasy CFL? The season starts soon.

Wow, very impressive.

We're not even sure I am human! Let's not get carried away!

This is sooooo funny, but only to you and Canadians. :D

CFL is to NFL what Rules is to League.

I'll be live this time Webz. You got no chance.

I've got an early suggestion for the league this season. Will we be scoring points for return punts/kicks again? Personally I feel this stat should be removed because it makes guys who would normally have no value become borderline starters. I'll throw some stats your way to make my point.

Nate Burleson finished 10th among WR with only 694 receiving yards and 9 TD's. His 1200+ return yards gave him more points than guys who had over 1000 yards and 12 TD's. Higher than guys like Plax Burress, Greg Jennings and Torry Holt. That's not really right.

Devin Hester finished 21st among WR despite only 299 receiving yards and 2 TD's.

Leon Washington finished 20th among RB with only 353 rushing yards and 3 TD's.
Jerious Norwood scored only 1 TD but finished ahead of guys with over 1000 yards or 6 TD's because of his 1300+ return yards.

And finally, Josh Cribbs, purely a PR/KR finished 36th (which is easily draftable) among WR with only a paltry 37 receiving yards and 0 TD's!! He scored more fantasy points than Lee Evans, Roy Williams, Calvin Johnson, Reggie Brown, Laveranues Coles, etc. His 2214 return yards and 3 return TD's made that possible. Again, I don't believe rewarding these types of players is very common in most leagues and I would like to put forward a motion to remove this stat from the upcoming season. It may only be a small thing but I believe it would be beneficial.

Any other thoughts? Agree/Disagree?

Any other thoughts? Agree/Disagree?

Agree.

Personally, I like the PR/KR stats. It throws more players into the mix. Give some props to those crazy returners that risk their lives with 11 angry people running full speed at them.

Personally I feel this stat should be removed because it makes guys who would normally have no value become borderline starters.
That was actually exactly why I added it, to make the pool of draft worthy WRs a bit larger.

I do agree with you though, that their value shouldn't exceed that of legit WRs. The value of KR/PR yards can be adjusted, as can the value/weight of any other stat. Maybe that's something that whoever volunteers (I nominate Tater) to be commish can look at.

To be honest, I think WR is one of the deepest positions. And yes, I can see how it mixes things up a bit, but I don't see who is going to draft someone like Josh Cribbs purely based on his PR/KR abilities (let alone start him for that matter).
But that's not the main problem cos I don't think anyone would start a PR/KR. I'm thinking more that I guess I just don't like the idea of guys lucking out on drafts by picking a borderline draftable WR4/5 in Round 14 (think Nate Burleson last year) and then getting lucky when he becomes the teams KR and having him become a better fantasy producer than someone who picked a proper WR2/3 in the 4th round of the draft.

Ya feel me?

I'd also be happy with a de-valued option, but if everyone wants to keep it in there, I'll deal with it. No problem. :)

You're just mad my Leon Washington beat you up last year. Deal with it.
They only get 1 pt for 25 yards. RB & WR get 1 pt. per 10 yards.

Anyone want a Football keeper league? Hahahaha...

It's getting closer Jammer. When's the draft eh?

It's getting closer Jammer. When's the draft eh?
That would be up to whoever is commissioner to decide! Any volunteers?

Damnit. You're right Jammer. I'm an addict. I can't bear to miss football even though it's my least favorite. But the thought of crushing you bums even one extra time is too tempting to pass on.


I'm in...if I can make the draft.

But I'm NOT commish!!

I'm going back to Michigan for the first time in 4 years on Tuesday and staying about 10 days. Then I will be camping the next weekend. So, I'll be available to draft any time after August 11th. I'm pretty much available any day, but Mondays aren't so good because my kid plays hockey.

It's getting closer Jammer. When's the draft eh?


Hellooooooo. Anyone stupid enough, er, brave enough to take the job?


Hey, how about giving credit for receptions. So like .5 per catch plus any yards gained?

I agree with Bill. I also like the pr/kr stats.

That would be up to whoever is commissioner to decide! Any volunteers?

Oops, guess I just assumed you were doing it. I can do it if nobody else wants. What about Bill?? :stirthepot:

I'd be up for this if everyone else wanted it, but I'd make it a proper PPR league. No point doing it half-heartedly. ie. 1 point per catch.

PS - I took a look at ESPN. They look pretty damn good, lots of customisable options. They do keeper as well. And its free.

Do it.
Do it.

It's all yours Webz!

Reminder!!

Live draft is this weekend. Only 34 hours away!

Be there or be square. Otherwise pre-set your rankings so you don't end up auto-drafting Terry Glenn in the 7th round. (He is clearly a 6th round draft pick.)

If he's a 6th round draft pick, how am I going to get him in the 7th round? :stirthepot: Wouldn't that be a steal to get him a round after he's expected to be drafted?

You make about as much draft sense as Matt Millen. :gun1:

Webz is from the Land Down Under, a place where they believe 7 comes before 6. It's all backwards down there, mate.

How about friday Aug. 29, 08 at 5pm PDT ???

We flush our numbers anti-clockwise.

Seven does come before Six (alphabetically)

How about friday Aug. 29, 08 at 5pm PDT ???

The time is already set for 9pm EST sorry. If you have to leave early, as long as you are there for at least the first 6 picks you should be fine auto-drafting the rest.

Is this thing suppose to take 20 min to load ?
Or will it finish right at 6pdt. 4 min from now ?

You should be in. It should only take a few seconds to load. Most of us have been in there for about 30 minutes. Get in there man, you have the 2nd pick!

Thanks Jamm, I was staring at 90% loaded for 15 min.
Then I turned off my pop-up blocker and it loaded.

No problem. Glad you made it!

I was looking at the drafted teams trying to figure out who had the best draft. Man, with the exception of Darth, everyone seemed to do pretty well. It's wide open, in my opinion.

With 10 teams there's enough to go around. But you guys are still suckers for RBs.
Still if you don't have a good BN, you're dead.
Looks like Jamm is highest rated with 112 projected. I'm near the bottom with 82. FFF

You need a RB dude.

That was a gutsy move going for Romo at #2. I was thinking of pulling the trigger at #8, but wasn't sure if I should. You made my decision to go for Barber easy. Passing on Peterson...it will be very interesting to see how that one turns out for you. Maybe very wise. Or not. Gutsy though...

My draft sucked. It was my own fault. Maybe with some good pick ups and luck during the season I can win 4 or 5 games and get 7th or 8th place. Who is that QB I drafted? A concussion...wtf!!!! :pound:


I don't know about parity. I see 5 or 6 teams that I think are going to dominate. I see 3 or 4 that have some pretty big holes, IMO.

Where do you see that? I can't seem to find it. Is that the projections for the points for the year or something?

Probably for the week under matchups...

Yeah, matchup value. That first pick was auto, I didn't get in til round 2 and was still a little befuddled. Still i wanted Romo over Brady. I didn't want to take risks but Moss and Owens were gone within 18 picks, my 2nd.
I got Megatron ! Watch out.!
Jamm cracked me up thinking he could wait 4-5 rounds to get Megs.
Eat your heart out Jamm.

I'd rather take a starting RB in the 6th-8th round than pick up a WR who is only 2nd or 3rd on their depth chart. I was suprised to get Kevin Smith, I thought he'd be gone early.

Feel free to send through some trade proposals for Kurt Warner once he starts blitzing em at the start of the season. I don't believe in the Leinart and neither do the Cards.
Last year, no other QB recorded more TD's than Warner in the 2nd half of the season. Not Brady, not Romo, NOBODY!

Yeah, matchup value. That first pick was auto, I didn't get in til round 2 and was still a little befuddled. Still i wanted Romo over Brady.
Yahoo's rankings don't have Romo at 2, so you must have pre-set your draft queue like that, irregardless if it was auto-picked. Might have been early, but you still can't go wrong having a top 3 QB.

Jamm cracked me up thinking he could wait 4-5 rounds to get Megs.
Eat your heart out Jamm.
Yahoo had him rated fairly low for receivers so I was hoping that out of site meant out of mind for people. It happens in every draft where someone gets picked and people say "He was still available?", "I didn't know he was still on the board", etc. I took a chance that I'd be able to grab a great player with a late(ish) pick.

I think Megatron is going to have a MONSTER season.

Calvin with the 39th pick will probably turn out to be pretty good. One of my cheat sheets had him at 29 and another one had him at 58. I was thinking about him with my pick at 32. I definitely would have taken him at 49 if he slid that far.

Warner has been named the starter for week #1.

Warner knows what to do. But if he lasts 6 games you did good.
yeah, Romo was qued

Willie Parker sitting on my bench. Niiiiice.... :frusty:

That smarts Web....





ha,ha,ha---hah ,ha

Bezeach handing it to me this week. However if Peterson can get around 38 points I might be able to steal it.

What's that? 200 yards and 3 TD's...

Anybody want to make a blockbuster trade with me? I'm going to package Tom Brady and Nate Burleson together.

I've got the under-achieving quarterback slot already filled, thanks.

If you want to deal that WR, we can talk.

So you're saying you want to deal Romo for Eddie Royal? I'll have to think about that one....

Whoa whoa, settle down. Brandon Marshall is back next week, and they won't get to play the Raiders every week. :)

Thanks a lot, webz. Blow the deal I had cookin'...

We'll see who's left laughing when my waiver claim for Tom Brady goes through! :sssh:

I should have known something was up when Brady slipped to the #9 spot in the draft.

Football is the most popular fantasy sport, I believe, but it's my least favorite.


It's all or nothing every week.

Injuries just kill you. You can go from great to terrible in a week...even if you have backups.

I think this is my 5th football league, and I'm pretty sure the Tomlinson owner won every time. I'm positive it was at least 3 of 4, at any rate.

You can have a great week and still lose and walk away with nothing. I remember last year I scored 140 freakin' points and the guy I played (Bill, maybe...can't remember) scored 130 + and lost! Just not fair when some teams probably won with less than half that many.

I don't know if there has ever been a trade in any football league I've been in. I know there were none in the leagues outside of here that I've been in. Maybe we had one in this league last year.

You only play once a week. Borrring for fantasy addicts like yours truly.

It's exciting and fun to keep track of when you're winning but I almost didn't join for the above reasons. But you know...can't miss out on the fun.

I agree Darth.... you are a loser.

Thanks a lot, webz. Blow the deal I had cookin'...

Sorry dude. I don't think hanging onto him would be so bad though. I reckon he can end up with like 900 yards and 6 TD's.

I don't necessarily agree on the injuries thing. I would argue Basketball is worse for injuries these days. It's ridiculous. There were plenty of waiver wire guys you could have scooped up to fill in last year and became top 10 players. ie. Ryan Grant, Earnest Graham, David Garrard, Kurt Warner... You just have to be quick on that wire!

I can definitely relate to this point and I agree. I hate it, but that's part of it. But that's also what Roto leagues are for. Maybe we could play both next season using the same teams. Kind of like an alternate universe.
But it's the same in any Fantasy sport. The best team all season doesn't always win the 'Ship.

I don't know if there has ever been a trade in any football league I've been in. I know there were none in the leagues outside of here that I've been in. Maybe we had one in this league last year.

I'll do a trade with ya Darth. You want a RB?

You only play once a week. Borrring for fantasy addicts like yours truly.

Yeah, I kind of wish the games during the week were spread out a bit more. My current problem is I'm too happy with my draft. There is nobody I want to drop to pick up those fun waiver guys who explode in the early weeks. For instance, I have 5 RB's, all of whom recorded 14+ fantasy points in Week 1. I really wish we had a Flex spot now.

It's exciting and fun to keep track of when you're winning but I almost didn't join for the above reasons. But you know...can't miss out on the fun.

Nope, the LT owner didn't win last year. :gun1::gun1::gun1:

How about this. Drafters 1-4 see picks 1+20 2+19 3+17, 4+16th
The 17th pick is way down the scoring ladder. Picks 8 and 13th look pretty good.

Oh, I was OK with 8. Especially since Barber dropped to me.

Last year I picked tenth and got a bye in the playoffs. That probably had something to do with me getting Adrian Peterson relatively late. So yeah, if you can pick up a gem, that helps a lot.

But in football I've just seen a trend where the Tomlinson owner wins. It's not really like that in other sports. In other sports I just don't see anyone that much head and shoulders above the rest of the field year in and year out.

How did the Tomlinson owner do in our league last year? In all my other leagues he finished first.

Now that you mention it, I cannot even think of a league in which the Tomlinson owner was not the league champion. Who had Tomlinson in our league last year? I can't remember.

Where were you when a year ago I was saying to Jamm, LT shouldn't be drafted period!
Course Jamm drafted him AGAIN but managed to lose in the P/Os.

Now that you mention it, I cannot even think of a league in which the Tomlinson owner was not the league champion. Who had Tomlinson in our league last year? I can't remember.

Finished 2nd.

Finished 2nd.

Well, obviously Jammer's suckiness :nerd2: outweighs LT's greatness. But LT is so great that he took second place even with a terrible owner like Jammer.

Oh...no offense Jammer. Just stating the facts.

Finished 2nd.

Darth and I both knew it was Jammer that had LT last year. We were just trying to rub in the fact that only Jammer could manage to lose with LT on his squad.

I don't think that you'll be doing so hot with Brady this year either.

I think they already postponed the Baltimore vs. Houston game this weekend because of the hurricane. I don't know if other games will be affected, but keep your eyes open and set your lineups accordingly.

Good thing Saints are at TB. Sorry for the abbre.

Possibly the most even trade ever.

TE Anthony Fasano (Bill)
for
WR Bernard Berrian (webz)

I needed a fill-in at TE with Dallas Clark injured, and Bill needed some WR help after losing Nate Burleson.

After the trade was completed we plugged both guys into our starting lineups for Week 2 and both guys came up with...

a big, fat ZERO! :gun1: :football:

If that's not a fair trade I don't know what is...

Green Bays Dee scored about 20 pt. on Det. SD scored -1 .

Green Bays Dee scored about 20 pt. on Det. SD scored -1 .

23. I'll take it.

My kicker sucked and your Hanson got 14.

I've got a nice lead but 34 may not be enough. I'm hoping Romo decided to handoff to my running back Barber. If he decides to replace his girlfriend Witten with Crayton, I'm gonna be in some deep do do.

I'll be watching...

Fine, take away the TD, whatever...

F, I lost to Tate.
What's up the Clayton, he caught 2 passes.

No, I think he means you should play in one of those money leagues.

I'm starting to think this isn't going to be my year...

Last week I played against Turner and Barber who scored 4 TD's and 261 yards between them - this week they combined for ZERO and 92.

Now this week Brett Favre, a dinosaur who has played for 20 years goes for a career high 6 TD's!!! WTF is up with that?

My team is better than 1-3, I just wanna know when it's going to be my turn to have some luck. :shout:

Die Webz Die !

Hey Webz, is there a hold-up on my trade ?

Hey Webz, is there a hold-up on my trade ?


Yea, Commish, better approve this thing before I realize that I'm getting swindled...

That trade involving the commish sure seemed to go through fast...:stirthepot::stirthepot::stirthepot:

Beer you're too deep at RB

Hey Webz, is there a hold-up on my trade ?

Sorry guys, I didn't realise I had to manually process each trade. The message said the trade will automatically be processed after 2 days. I will process tonight so you can use the players this week.

That trade involving the commish sure seemed to go through fast...:stirthepot::stirthepot::stirthepot:

I thought that was just for me, not the commish. Looks like I can't change the option either.

So I guess from now on for future trades I will wait 2 days to allow either side to change their mind, then I will process. Do you remember how you did things Jammer?

Nooooooooooo.:nono: Never Never Never allow one or both sides to change their mind.

The waiting period is for the rest of the league to veto or voice complaints. Once you enter into an agreement it's binding. :phone:

Do you remember how you did things Jammer?
I don't remember having to do anything for trades. That might have had something to do with the way it was setup. I don't know. I've only been a commissioner once, so I'm not really sure.

I agree with that. I'm also not a big fan of vetoing trades either. Unless it was CLEARLY foul play, even if the trade appears lopsided, if it is done in good faith, I feel that it should always stand.

I don't remember having to do anything for trades. That might have had something to do with the way it was setup. I don't know.



Right. When you set up the league, you chopose between Commish approval or league approval. I always put it on the league.

Like Jammer, I don't ever like vetoes based on stupidity of managers. If it's good faith it stands. Collusion is another matter entirely...

Sorry guys, I didn't realise I had to manually process each trade. The message said the trade will automatically be processed after 2 days. I will process tonight so you can use the players this week.




There isn't much to "process" a trade. The Commissioner just clicks a button that says "Approve Trade".

As the baseball Commissioner this past summer, I only waited a single day for trades. If no one objected, I just clicked the "Approve Trade" button. I don't see the need to prolong trades if it is obvious there is no corruption going on.

Ah yes, I think I remember selecting that now. As you said, I don't really like the idea of vetoing trades either which must be why I set it to Commish. But I didn't realise that would mean I'd have to APPROVE every one.

I mistakingly thought people could cancel a trade once it was accepted, but I was thinking of being able to cancel proposals.

Thanks for helping me clear this up.

Going forward I will still allow 2 days from when the trade is accepted by both sides to processing it, which will allow any unhappy managers to express any concerns.

Yep, I am aware of the button, I just don't have access to Yahoo at work, sorry Bill.

As for the 2 days, I decided to just allow the default time to avoid any potential hassles.

Yes I'm sorry about that. Won't happen again. You'll have your guy available for this weekend.

No problem Webz. Football is the 1 sport where the delay won't have any impact.

My FFottball team is garbage. Stupid Autodraft.

Bad news Thee. Your season just got worse. Romo out a month. :(

The news just hit rock bottom. Thee just lost to the Llamas.

:eek::jaw: Do we need to talk him off the ledge???:MusicBigGrin:

If I was gonna jump I would've did it when I lost to Tate. For a good noose does it really need 13 twines ?

This season has not been good to me.:yellowprison:

Mine was fine. I can't really complain.

I've been fortunate so far. I've had several key injuries, but the teams that I've played so far have been so bad that I haven't needed them. :stirthepot::stirthepot::stirthepot:

Jamm if you're trying to say my team was weak, you're a lie. The refs cheated on me.

I struggle with fantasy football. There are so few games that I can't get a read on who will do well. I like baseball much better. I can see the patterns develop...

Anyhow, my football team is collapsing. I've remained relatively healthy. I just suck. But that's OK.:)

I am very happy with my team despite my poor record. I either can't get everyone to perform well in the same week, or my opponent has a season best score against me. I keep waiting for my luck to turn around but now it might be too late...

Bobby Ingram got you 0 pts. That's your fault.

But that's OK.:)
It sure is!:pound::pound::pound:

Both of my QB (Orton and Schaub) got injured yesterday. My season in a nutshell. LOL.

I'm looking to cut a guy so he can have a big game.
If I cut Megatron, the Lions could win !!

It looks like Jammertime underestimated his opponent this past week. If I had a nickel for every time a team looked past the Laimbeer's Llamas, I'd be....I'd, um.....I'd have at least five cents....

Don't get too excited Bill. Beating Jammer at fantasy football is kind of like beating your dog in a spelling bee...

Good point, even though it was made by someone 5 positions below Jammer in the standings...

True. But you are one of the few people I am in a high enough position to give advice to. :p

I can't believe I lost! I was in the lead before Monday and had 2 players to your 1 in Monday nights game.

Lee Evans threw up a goose egg in the game and Lynch had a huge game.

I think this is the last week of fantasy, if it is I'll sacrifice Megatron so he can have a huge game and maybe the Lions win.

Two more weeks to go in the regular season.

Man, it's a good thing I decided to bench Brian Westbrook over injury concerns. He only managed a measly 37 fantasy points last night.

Nice job, tanking. Whatever happened to integrity? :)

Talk to Darth about Michael Turner last week. I've also had Parker and Jones on the bench when they scored 3 TD's each. It hurts.

I had 3 great RB plays this week but I could only choose 2. Where is that flex option? Maybe next year.

Peterson v Bears (7 TD's in 3 career games against them)
Thomas Jones v Broncos
Chris Johnson v Lions

I almost benched AP for Johnson. Hope it was the right call cos Johnson had 130 yards and 2 scores.

Turns out the only one I helped was myself.
First week in about 5 Tron didn't score. So now I fall back on Ted Ginn or some one.
Finally Romo wakes up, 60 pts in last 2 weeks.

My season mercifully ended tonight:deathstar1: at 6-7 (Arguably it ended the night I drafted:tinfoil3:). I probably could have slipped in had I been a bit more savvy:lecturer: as GM, but I would have had a first round exit anyhow.

Not sure yet whether or not I'll be in next year:writersblock:, but it was fun.

Webz, you did an awesome job as commissioner! :winner_first_h4h:

Good luck to all of the teams that made the playoffs (Even Jammer:canada:). Looks like footballers is the heavy favorite, but we all know how the playoffs go...

:popcorn:<---Bill Laimbeer


:pop2:<---Darth

Who are you kidding Tate. You'll be back next year cause you're a fanstasy troll looking for another chevron.

Good luck to all the teams that made the playoffs. My team got off to a bad start and just couldn't recover.

My team is still preparing for Monday Night Football. My team will not give up without a fight.

This league may team my team member's lives, but it will never take our freedom.

This team may team my team's team, but we will not team without a team!

That's not nice....using your super powers to add grammatical errors to my posts and then make fun of me because of it. I may start boycotting the game chats and then watch the attendance drop right off...

I changed nothing. You team'd your own team in that post about your team.

My team is kickin' azzz now that it's over.
Mostly because I was messing it up.

As promised, the Laimbeer Llamas brought their A game, gave 110 percent, played it one play at a time, they made their own breaks, and snatched victory out of the jaws of defeat.

It was a collosal win by the Llamas to knock off the 11-1 Footballers squad and it should give the Llamas great momentum heading into the 2009 season.

If you had a #1 pick coming you would've blown it.

I'm sure I could have found an excellent WR to pick up with a #1 pick. I have been learning from the master the last few years.
