Fantasy football 2008 - Ping rreihart, Panzer, DK, et. al.

Post by floodcitybrass »

With all the talk of Brett Favre returning....

I got to thinking about football. I assume we are doing the rockpage fantasy league again this year. Are you going to be the commissioner? I can set up the league if you want.

I'm ready....

What's this the 3rd year?

We gonna make it a little interesting this year wink$ wink$ ???

Also a few of us have talked about spending like $10 on a small plaque where the winner each year could be listed and it could hang at Aldos'???

Any thoughts?

Peace, Tood

Sorry it took long...yeah... set it up. I was actually getting ready to ask until I scrolled down further. Still doing Live draft? If we're doing a live draft through the week can you make it like after 3:30P, it's about what time I get home (during the weekend, whenever). There's another guy that watches rockpage (don't know if he has a username or not) and is interested too. So PM me or something so I know what to tell him.

What would a live draft entail?

I kinda like the way we've always done it.. "if it ain't broke" hehe...

But as Mae West said.. "I'll do anything once, twice if I like it"

Peace, Tood

P.S> Any comments on my previous post? Plaque? little winner$ kitty ??

I'm in again. I now live local, so a live draft would work. Either way, it's cool.

Basically with the live draft (whenever the league is set up), the commish can set a date and time. Everyone be online at that time, download the program (I think it's Java, but that may be ESPN's, not sure), and then you're on the clock. All the players are put up in order to which their '07 season would rank them (I think, but I'm not sure really how they're ranked). If you can't be there do a Pre-draft ranking list like usual and that would act in your behalf.

As for the plaque...my name would look good on it for the next few years...lol. That'd be cool though.

Done.

Same settings as last year, but of course always open to suggestions.

League ID: 225005
Password: rockpage1

League URL: http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/225005

We're currently set for 10 teams, but can expand to as many as we need (12-14 max), with some roster size modifications, of course.

Join up and get pre-ranking. Live draft is Thu Aug 28 9:00pm EDT.

Damn it...I think I have a fantasy football problem. While waiting for the rockpage league, I had 4 teams on ESPN and 3 teams on Yahoo. And thanks to rreihart, I can now make it 4 teams on Yahoo, and hopefully stop there for the season. Well, I guess it's actually 6 drafted teams and 2 offline teams. So I only have to pay attention to 6 of my 8 teams more closely. At least it's better than 23 last year, but 8 still sucks.

Anyway, gettin off topic here. Thanks again rreihart, and good luck to the rest of you.

I hope it'll be a good battle for second, cause I'll be watching it all from the number 1 spot...hahaha. And the trash talk begins... :twisted:

Talkin smack pre-draft IS a bit premature. :)

I just also wanted to point out, in case people don't know, this league is totally FREE and is just for fun.

We should all just collude and draft Cowboys players so Tood can't get them all. It's what he does every year.

Hey guys. I made a league for the rockpagers. To keep things simple, it has the same settings as last year.

PM me for the league info and password.

There seems to be some confusion.

Let me clear some things up.

When floodcity posted up the original (this) thread and I responded to set things up, I didn't have time to deal with things right then, and it wouldn't have mattered to me if someone else set things up.

Then, almost two weeks passed and nothing was done. I started to receive PM's from people asking me what was going on. So, I went ahead and got things rolling. I posted back to this thread (see above) all of the details for the league.

Floodcity, I am sorry if you didn't see that in the thread. Then you set up a league, essentially a second league and now nobody is joining it because they are already in the one I set up.

If enough people are interested in both, then so be it. I know not everyone, myself included, has enough time for more than a couple leagues. I am already in one with the people of my development and am not joining a second RP league.

I hope this helps clear things up.

For some reason I wasn't subscribed to this post. All should be good now.
