Title: FOT Fontasy football (NFL)
Post by: ezekielw on August 28, 2011, 06:13:16 PM
Is there an interest in getting together a FOT Fantasy football league?
 Jbissell has said that he would start one up if there was interest.

Anyone have a Yahoo/ESPN preference?

I'm in.

I prefer ESPN, but it's not that important to me.

I definitely like ESPN's format a lot more, but I'll play either way.

I don't want to sound presumptuous, but someone should post a link to this thread in the Fontasy Baseball League's chat. Some may check that more often than the FOT forum (like myself). I'll do it, if need be, I just suggested it because I didn't want to cut off der kommissar at the knees.

I don't have a preferance. Either way, I'm in. Baseball has been fun.

I don't much know who's who in baseball. I am coaching like damn, though! Like hades! 345 roster moves and counting. If I pull out a playoff spot, they will sing ballads in my honor.

I forgot to do the soccer thing, so can I do this?  Even though I just said I don't care about football?  (I was sort of lying.)

I'm definitely in if it happens.

And I prefer ESPN.

Dave- My team is the Dr Girlfriends. I am in awe of the number of roster moves you do every week. You should be awarded the first ever John Starks Memorial Sheer Effort/Force of Will Trophy (R).

PS You do understand that we don't get a point for every roster move?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the constant roster turnover has hurt his team far more than it's helped.

And, to be honest, it gets annoying.

Looks like we have at least 10 people interested so I set the league for 12, though I can increase or decrease as interest dictates.

Would a Sunday draft work for most of you? Also, any specific rules or lineup configurations that we want?
Right now I mostly just went with the ESPN standard, though I changed the RB/WR spot to a RB/WR/TE flex spot. I also considered 3 WR, but I'll leave it at 2 for now. I've never been league manager for football before, I'm a little amazed at how specific you can be with the stats. I really, really wanted to add punters.

Wait, roster moves isn't a category? How about obsessively worrying about something I have no control over?

Hey Jon. Got your invite and clicked the link. Looks like I'm "Team 7". I can't figure out how to change the name of my team. What am I missing?

Doh! I missed the "join the league your invited to, dummy" button the first two times I clicked on the link. Don't let this happen to you.

Sunday might work for me.

I actually have another draft at 2 PM and I don't know how long it's gonna take since it's with a small, close group of friends. Could take twenty minutes, could take four hours.

Monday would work for me too, any time before 12 PM Eastern or after 6 PM Eastern (I have to cover for someone doing a mini-shift at work on Monday)

Post by: Alex_from_the_woods on September 01, 2011, 04:28:57 PM
Sunday will probably be a big problem for me. Monday morning I'll probably be on an airplane. For that day I would ask for afternoon or later.
Title: Re: FOT Fontasy football (NFL)
Post by: jbissell on September 01, 2011, 11:08:29 PM
Draft day and time is flexible, we can figure out what works best overall once it fills up.

Just got my invite.

If anyone is wondering, I am Senator Lonnie McDicksmash DFA. I tend to use a fake name in FFL, last year it was Oliver North and my team was USA MAXIMUM AMERICA in my main league. For whatever reason in my other FFL it comes up as Senator Lonnie McDicksmash MFA (earlier version before I figured Lonnie McDicksmash spent way too much money on his degree).

Also, I am Reagan's Bong in the FoT Fantasy Baseball if you're trying to place names/teams.

This so-called "fantasy football league draft" wouldn't be a ruse to distract me from the life and death battle for second seed in the FOnTasy baseball league playoffs- would it, Jon? J'accuse!

If you have an odd number and need another person I'll join. I'm already in 3 leagues but if you need another person to even out the league let me know.

If you're reading this, I would suggest sending jbissell a private message if you want to join.

The draft is in about 24.5 hours.

We definitely could use a few more teams. We're at 7 at the moment and I don't think anyone wants an 8 team league.

I'm trying to recruit someone now. I think he's in but am waiting on the final answer. What's the cutoff time for an answer Jon?

I have another team owner for the league. PM sent to Jon.

Post by: jbissell on September 08, 2011, 02:14:17 PM
I just sent invitations to Abe and Alex's friend. When they register, we'll have 10. There is currently 1 outstanding invite, to eastgrandforks, who would be the 11th. The league needs to be filled by 1 hr. before draft time (7ET tonight). If eastgrandforks hasn't responded by 6ET, I'm going to drop the league size down to 10 so that we can still draft.
Title: Re: FOT Fontasy football (NFL)
Post by: methanolcereal on September 08, 2011, 05:32:52 PM
So it looks like we're down to 10.

I guess FOTs are more into Basesballs than Hand-Egg.

I like 10 better anyway. Good luck to everybody- except when you're up against me.
