2013 Fantasy Football? We doing it again?

[wooly]

Rugbysecondrow? anyone? I know it's late but I think we can pull off setting up the league again if we can get a minimum of 10 coaches. I can organize it if Rugby cannot. Anyone???????? :banana:

[kramnnim]

Hmm, I spent way too much time on it two years ago, and skipped last year...so sure, I'll try it again.

[vqdriver]

i'm down.

[MattTuck]

if Geoff does it, can we force him to pick Tim Tebow as his QB and Aaron Hernandez as Tight End? :help:

[chengher87]

If there is an open team, I'll take that spot.

[tuxbailey]

I am in if there is an open spot.

Although I think if we do it we should make it matter with vested interest. Last year with a few players it seems like they just dropped off a few games into the season.

[scho74]

i'm game.

[vqdriver]

on a related note, is anyone interested in college football?
i tried pickem pool a few years back with small interest. but if folks are into it, i could start one up as well.

[wooly]

Love college football but i try to keep my work time wasting to a minimum - Paceline forum and FF in the fall!

We have 7 teams so far. 3 more needed to make it fun. We can go up to 12 and leave enough room for some free agent fun.

[EA120711]

I'm in if there's still room.

[wooly]

8 teams / coaches committed. 2-4 team / coaching slots available.

Chime in if you are interested!

Will this be on Yahoo? I am interested.

[djg21]

To attack from the back. If there's still room, I'm in.

[firerescuefin]

In..pm me details.

[wooly]

Yes, yahoo league.

We have 11 coaches committed. 1 more and we're locked down. :banana:

[wooly]

I sent a courtesy invite to rugbysecondrow since he organized the league the last few years. He's probably out for the long weekend.

If he commits we are full.

I sent PM's to those interested to set up Yahoo ID's and PM those IDs to me so i can send the invites.

Also, this will be an auto draft with no buy in. PURE BRAGGING RIGHTS. Too close to the beginning of the season to get a manual draft completed. Should be fun tho.

If there are any other interested parties, we may have some people fall out so PM me if you're interested.

Thanks,
Ron

We need one more team to complete our league of 12 coaches. I'd like to close the league today so that we can get our draft done by tomorrow. Season starts on Thursday! Should be a great time.

Please PM me if you're interested in playing. No buy in. This is a bragging rights league. Auto draft too so no need to study up too much. SO LET'S DO THIS.

I was hoping the winner got to choose a bike from the "Cole Collection"....sort of like Daniel-son getting to choose one of Mr. Miyagi's antique cars after he mastered..."Wax On/Wax Off"

[chengher87]

How about the winner gets something from our junk piles (I say that with the greatest respect because while my junk pile contains a beautiful LOOK frame and a great Ultegra gruppo, it's a junk pile to my friends and family because...all the stuff in literally in a pile, albeit a neat pile and they could never understand my star-crossed love of bikes). Perhaps everyone contributes something under $10-15 worth of value and sends it to the winner?

Just my two cents. Which also might be included if the value of my sent components aren't quite up to $10.

That'd be some high stakes poker - each game your best bike is on the block! Fortunately that's not the case. Like you need any more fuel for a bragging rights league!

[rugbysecondrow]

Thanks but I am out.

Great idea. We each should throw something into the goodie box. I will take a look in my "junk box".

About what I'd expect from you going into the season Ron.....No Confidence/Belief in self....Basically entering the season as a beaten man....You're kind of like the Lane Kiffen of Fantasy football....High on the bravado...Not so high on results :no:


;)

Ha! That's a lot if smack coming from #11 of 12 last year. I'm still holding on to the memory of me taking the title in 2010. Yeah baby. :banana:

I sacrificed 2012 to lull people to sleep, so I could strike like a Cobra (not Riccardo Ricco...but an actual Cobra) in 2013.....

You've been warned

:no:

[tuxbailey]

Great to see good start to the season.

[MattTuck]

I'm disappointed that some of you have not yet come up with horribly lame team names that are puns on cycling.

The worse the name is, the better.

For example, 4th Downtube and Long, Red 22 Zone, etc. :p

[vqdriver]

red 22 zone. so timely

my avatar is vaguely cycling related. well, big wheel related, anyhow. which we all know is better than cycling anyway

[wooly]

I like the idea. How about "Blue 42 Train"? badapa! (like bad drum roll)

[vqdriver]

Looks like the draft is done.
Good luck folks

[tuxbailey]

Good luck to all.


Are we set for the pile?

I will put my brand new square taper token 68-102 BB to the prize pile :)

[William]

on a related note, is anyone interested in college football?

I dunno, looking like some good players coming up....

Man, whoever got Peyton is gonna win this year.

[MattTuck]

Man, whoever got Peyton is gonna win this year.

I got Eli :(


btw. I have two QBs. Eli and Matt Ryan. I am assuming that the one with the "BN" next to their name indicates "Bench" and that he won't count toward my points that week.

[tuxbailey]

I think that since neither of their games had started you can change the line up.

[tuxbailey]

And I have Eric Decker in another team and he didn't get a single TD from the 7s that Peyton threw.

[kramnnim]

Lol. I've got Julius Thomas........ sitting on the bench :(

Ugh. 23 points just sitting there.

[wooly]

Hey Coaches - can we move this thread and all other discussions / SMACK TALK to the Message Board on our league's site? Looks like some of my messages that I've sent out to the league have not been received. I will post all of my future communications there. The message board is on the league's home page. Thanks.

[MattTuck]

The Vikings almost gave me a heart attack last night. I won my game by 0.02 points, with Adrian Peterson putting up 28 rushing, 28 passing yards. Talk about a nail biter.

[djg21]

Brendan Jacobs to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, even despite the Giant's "win." Both teams looked like they were from St. Mary's school for little blind girls in wheelchairs.

This was the bye week for my core players, and hopefully that won't happen again.

I was watching your matchup with interest...surely you were awarded some silly Toyota medal for that 0.02 point margin...lol.

[MattTuck]

And now, exactly half of the league is at 4-3-0. That doesn't seem like it should be mathematically possible.

[kramnnim]

So...where is my prize/box of junk? :hello: :banana: :D

[MattTuck]

I feel pretty fortunate to have finished 4th given that Julio Jones' season ending injury ruined both his and Matt Ryan's season, and I had to plug the holes with WR3 (at best) type players.

Here's to next year! I didn't send any junk for you, though as my cycling stuff was only recently liberated from a storage unit. But now I have access to it and can find some good junk for you :)

Congrats!

Out of curiosity, did you set preferences pre-draft? I did not, and drafted Eli Manning... it was awesome. :rolleyes:

[kramnnim]

Poor Eli...lol.

I looked at changing the predraft preferences but it looked too complicated and I wasn't sure what to change them to so I left them alone.

One thing that I'm really curious about is how forum names match up to Yahoo user/team names...which of you is my nemesis Stoempers?!

[vqdriver]

that's actually really good considering his season.
i had narrowed down my predraft order between russell wilson and rg3 and chose wrong. at least in terms of consistency, dude was all over the map.

anyhow, congrats all. fun season.

I received some items for the winners box of swag from 3 coaches. I will box and ship them to you after the holidays. PM me your address.

Great season everyone.
