SG·1 Fantasy Football League (2006)

[Schweaty]

I know it might be a little early and all but if there is enough interest I wouldn't mind doing a FFL. And no Hungarianstud, I DON'T mean soccer! World Cup is done and over with already! :010:

[hungarianstud]

Damnit
Then i'm out
haha

[armanisuit]

i'm interested, how would you set it up?

[Schweaty]

i'm interested, how would you set it up? well once we get enough people, say atleast 8 -10 we would decide how we want scoring and such to be handled. this is just to get an idea of whos interested and how many people there are.

[Parker]

how would you set it up?

Yahoo and other places like ESPN have free leagues that anyone can start. I do believe that Yahoo has a setup where you can make a private league and only people with a password can join. This is the way I would go. That way we can set it up for like 24 teams or whatever and off we go. There are a ton of different features that you can impliment into this too. I'll do some checking, but I don't want to run the damn thing. Someone else can be responsible for that.

BTW: I'm In!

[ÜberDork]

I've never played in a FFL (and frankly I don't follow much NFL since they don't have a team in LA!!!), but I would like to give it a try, Schweaty, especially if it could be done as easily as Parker suggests.

BTW: I'm In! yeah i was thinking yahoo, i've used that the past two years and it works well enough to get the job done. id really like to do a live draft if at all possible. ranking players and then letting the system do the draft sucks. there again its all up to the people interested and finding a time we can all be on to draft. as far as being the commish goes, i wouldn't mind giving it a shot.

[Parker]

I like the live draft too. Let's keep this thread going and have everyone interested in doing this voice there opinion here. That way we get a feel how many people want to join.

[hungarianstud]

I don't follow football to much either but this sounds like it would be fun.
The rules would have to be explained to me though.

[D'Artagnan]

Yea, I don't watch American Football hardly at all, but I'd join up, in the name of fun.

I'm a Canadian Football guy, you know CFL. Yea the league is pretty shitty, but I like it.

[Creamy Goodness]

I'm in, as long as y'all want me
Live draft is much better, hopefully it won't be too early in the mornin for me (time difference and all)

[Schweaty]

ok guys thats 7 so far. it just so happens that i have a free commish account with EA Sports after purchasing NFL Headcoach for PC. if we have beginners in the league i dont think we should go with an advanced scoring system. we should keep it simple for those unfamiliar to FF, besides this is just for fun :D seems like a live draft is the popular choice thus far but working around schedueles and time differences might be tricky. we could always do a draft on the forums here through the corse of a week or so but that might get tedious. input fellas, this is our league :)

[Schweaty]

here is the FAQ from EA, might help answer some questions. as far as player pools we should use the entire NFL for the draft and a head to head schedule imo. we can have up to 32 teams and 4 dicisions.


Q. Can I customize my home page?
A. No. The ability to customize the home page where you can move around certain sections, change colors, etc. is not an option.
Q. Can each owner pay a portion of the league fee?
A. No. The entire $49.99 fee must be paid by the commissioner at the time the league is created. The league commissioner may choose to collect league fees from other owners offline.
Q. Will my league have its own message board?
A. Yes, each league will have access to its own private league message board.
Q. How do I get people to join my league?
A. The Football Commissioner product is intended for leagues that already exist. You must invite each owner to join the league by submitting his/her email address on the team setup page. Commissioner leagues cannot be made "public."
Q. Can I post league news with images?
A. Yes, any owner in the league can post a league message to appear on the league home page. You will also be given the option to upload an image and enter a caption for the image to accompany the message.
Q. What is the difference between this product (Football Commissioner) and the Team Owner?
A. The Football Commissioner is fully customizable. You can select the number of teams in your league, the scoring system, number of players on each roster, free agent method, etc. It's the perfect tool for those that have an existing league with rules already defined or for those that want to create a new league and create their own rules. For those that prefer to have us set the rules of their league, or do not have enough players to form an entire league, Team Owner is the game for you.
Q. Can I send emails to owners in my league?
A. Yes, will have the option to send email through the league site to individual teams or to all teams at once.
Q. Can teams in my league upload team logos?
A. Yes, each team has the option to upload an image to use as its team logo which will be displayed throughout the site. In addition, your league can upload a league logo to be displayed on the league home page.
Q. How will other owners know to access the site?
A. After the commissioner submits the owner names and e-mail addresses during setup, each owner will be sent an email invitation with the league name and password and instructions on how to join.
Q. Can I assign co-owners to teams in my league?
A. Yes. Any number of co-owners can be assigned to a team on the owners page during league setup. An email invitation will be sent to each co-owner.
Q. I have a keeper league, can I track keeper players and retain rosters season-to-season?
A. Yes. There is an option in the league setup for commissioners to enter rosters for all teams. There is also an option to mark players as "keepers." Any player marked as a keeper will automatically be removed from the player pool during an online draft.
Q. How much does it cost to setup a league?
A. $49.99 per league. The payment must be made in full by the commissioner when the league is created.

Basic Setup

Q. Can the same player be drafted on two different teams in my league in different divisions.
A. No. The same player cannot appear on 2 different teams even if they are in different divisions.
Q. Can I give other owners access to the commissioner functions?
A. Yes. In the league setup, under TEAMS, select the "Commish Access" box next to any owner you want to have commissioner privileges.

Scoring

Q. I want to award points for a shutout for team defenses and then subtract points for points allowed. How can I set that up?
A. First, choose "points against" in the list of scoring categories in the league setup. You must have team defense or defense/special teams selected as a roster position in order for that scoring category to be an option. Then, click on the "bonus" button on that category to display the first bonus. If, for example, you want to award 20 points for a shutout and then subtract 2 points for every 6 points allowed, enter the following: Award a bonus of 20 points @ 0 PtsA From 1 to * PtsA, award -2 points for every 6 PtsA.
Q. My league awards 6pts for a receiving TD for WR's and 9pts for TE's. Can I award different points for stat categories by position?
A. This is not a feature available with the Football Commissioner.
Q. Will live scoring be available during the season?
A. Yes, live scoring is a feature included at no extra cost.
Q. What are head-to-head leagues?
A. In a Head-to-Head league, your team will square off in a weekly match-up against another team in your league to see who can compile the most points across the different statistical categories you choose.
Q. What is a points-based league?
A. This is a league where a specific value is assigned to each stat a player earns. All of these stats are tabulated into fantasy points for each team. Those totals are used to determine leaders for each scoring period you choose.
Q. What scoring systems are available?
A. You may choose between head-to-head or total points scoring.
Return to Top (http://fantasy.easports.com/football/cfaq.asp?imageNavSelect=sim%5Fhelp#top)

Schedule

Q. My league uses a head-to-head system. How will the league schedule be determined?
A. Your schedule will be set randomly based on the settings you choose in the schedule portion of the league setup. Or, the commissioner can choose to manually enter the entire regular season and playoff schedules.
Q. Can I schedule teams with bye weeks?
A. Yes, you may include byes in your regular season and playoff schedules.
Q. My league doesn't include the last week of the regular season. Can I not include those games in scoring?
A. Yes, you'll have the option in the league setup to not include week #17 in the schedule. The commissioner may also manually set the schedule, so he/she can determine every match-up during the season.
Return to Top (http://fantasy.easports.com/football/cfaq.asp?imageNavSelect=sim%5Fhelp#top)

Rosters

Q. Can I include an injured reserve list for team rosters?
A. Yes, you can choose between 1 and 10 IR roster spots. Any player placed on an IR roster spot will not count towards that team's roster maximums. It is up to the commissioner of the league to police which players teams are allowed to place on the IR.
Q. Can I use the team QB position?
A. Yes, the team QB position is an option. The team QB position earns a team points for all stats earned by the active quarterback(s) for that team.
Q. During the season, will teams receive points if they field an invalid lineup?
A. You have the option during setup to allow or not allow teams to receive points in the standings if they field an invalid lineup.
Q. Can I select individual defensive players?
A. Yes, all individual defensive players are available. You may also use team defenses.
Return to Top (http://fantasy.easports.com/football/cfaq.asp?imageNavSelect=sim%5Fhelp#top)

Transactions

Q. Can my league use a bidding system for free agents?
A. Yes. The Football Commissioner will provide an automated way to track this type of free agent system. Each team will start out with a designated amount of money to bid on free agents during the season, with the top bid awarded that player. The commissioner of your league can set the total dollars each team starts the season with to bid on players. All bids during the season must be made in $1 increments and the minimum bid is $1 for all leagues.
Q. How often can teams in my league set lineups?
A. You can choose for lineups to lock at the start of the first game of the week, at the start of the first game of the day, at the start of each game, or 30 minutes prior to the start of each game.
Q. My league charges transaction fees. Can these be tracked online automatically?
A. Yes. In the league setup, the commissioner has the option to set league and transaction fees. During the season, any transactions made will update the amount owed for each owner on the transaction history and team finances pages.
Q. When do my waiver claims get processed and when can I use new players?
A. Any player added to a roster will be placed on a team's roster effective for the following week. The commissioner has the option to choose the amount of time a dropped player remains on waivers and if all players go on waivers once games start for the week. If your league uses a bidding system or a system where players not on rosters are always on waivers, you will have the option to choose the day and time when the bids/waiver claims will be processed. At the time the claims or bids are processed, the players are awarded to each team and can be used for the following week.
Q. What are waivers?
A. Typically, fantasy leagues use a waiver system to allow all members of a league a fair opportunity to add a player to their team. Players that are dropped from a roster of another team in your league can be placed on waivers. Any team may claim a player on waivers, but will not be awarded the player until the waiver period has ended. When the waiver period ends, the players are awarded to teams based on the waiver system selected in the setup. After a player "clears waivers" he becomes a free agent and can be picked up by any team.
Q. My league uses an auction bidding system to add free agents. If only one bid is submitted for a player, will the entire winning bid amount be deducted from that owner's free agent balance, or just $1?
A. The entire bid amount is always deducted, regardless of the amount of the 2nd place bid, if any.
Q. What choices do I have to award players on waivers/free agents?
A. You can choose to use a waiver priority list that does not reset, a priority list that resets each week based on standings, a free agent bidding system, or you can choose to handle all free agent/waiver pickups offline through the commissioner of the league.

Draft

Q. What type of drafts are available?
A. During setup, the commissioner may choose from five different draft types; live, email, single-list automated, multi-list automated, or an offline draft.
Q. What is a "list" draft?
A. There are two different types of automated list drafts available: single-list and multi-list. With a single-list draft, the automated system will automatically draft each owner's team based on player rankings defined by the owner. In a multi-list draft, the automated system will automatically draft each owner's team based on player rankings by position defined by the owner. The multi-list draft also allows the owner to specify what position should be drafted in each round.
Q. What is "auto-pick"?
A. During the league setup, the commissioner will have the option to choose the number of successive missed picks needed before a team is placed on auto-pick. This is done to help speed up a draft that would slow down with a missing owner. When a team is placed on auto-pick, the live draft will automatically select a player for that team, based first on any players placed in the owner's queue, then based on pre-draft rankings.
Q. My league already exists and we keep players year-to-year. Can my league still use a live draft since each team already has players on their rosters?
A. Yes. The commissioner will have the ability to place players on team rosters prior to the draft. When the live draft begins, those players will already appear on the owner's rosters and will not be listed as available players for the draft.
Q. What happens if an owner fails to show up for a live draft or misses a pick?
A. If an owner is not present for a live draft, that owner will have players selected automatically based on pre-draft rankings made by that owner.
Q. Can the commissioner draft players for any team in the league during a live draft?
A. Yes, there will be an option for any owner with commissioner privileges to select a player for any other team during a live draft on the html draft page only.
Q. What is an email draft?
A. An email draft works similar to a live draft, just over a longer period of time (the java applet is not used during an email draft). All owners make player selections online when it's their teams turn to pick. An email is then automatically generated and sent to all league owners when a pick is made. The commissioner has the option to choose how much time each owner has to make each pick.
Q. Where do I go to enter my pre-draft rankings?
A. Click on "draft prep" under DRAFT on the league navigation bar at the left.
Q. What is a live draft?
A. The live draft option allows you to control every athlete that is placed on your roster. The draft will last as many rounds as you specify during setup. Draft order for the first round will be selected by the commissioner during setup. The order in which team owners draft reverses in each successive round, so that the owner who drafts first in the first round, will draft last in the second round, and so on. You will also have the option to choose how much time each team has to make a pick during a live draft and the commissioner will have the option to draft for any team in the league during a live draft. Q. Can I set the draft order for every round of my league's draft?
A. Yes. You may specify the draft order for the first round of your draft. By default, the draft order you set for the first round, will automatically "snake" every round, meaning the order you set for the first round will apply to odd-numbered rounds, and teams will draft in the reverse order during even-numbered rounds. So, the team with the first pick in the first round will have the last pick in the second round. If your league uses different draft rules, or trades draft picks, there is the option to change the draft order for any round in the league setup.

farbio is in too guys, that makes 8. c'mon there has got to be a few more peeps that follow NFL football

[Parker]

Give it a couple weeks. It's still July. I think maybe around the beginning of August when trainning camps kick in, you'll see some more interest. Maybe we can make this a sticky in sports chat. Maybe get a few more bites sooner than Aug.

[jdrock24]

Count me in! I love FF! My only concern is finding a time for the live draft. That could get tricky...

[Parker]

I'll leave this in here for a week or so more to get a few more players involved from the SB ranks. Then I'll move this to the Sports Chat section within the General Forum. So any SBers please chime in here as I do believe that you are getting the first open slots. Only so many people will be access. So hurry up!

So hurry up! i need active email addys from everyone so that i can send invites out. also, we COULD do up to 32 teams and have conferences/divisions like a real league.

I like the idea of different conferences and such. I'll move this thread tomorrow to the Sports Chat Section. Then I think everyone that wants to be in needs to have their info to you by say the 10th or 11th of Aug. This should give you enough time to set of a draft and figure how we're going to do this thing.

[dizturbd]

Hook me up!!! PM me with details. I love fantasy football and hope we get a live draft. But, I'm up to trying rules I'm not used to. I created a league last year that is the perfect set up for 8 people. 10 people has a little different format, but it's doable. The only other way is 16 people. If anybody is interested in the details, PM me. I think this might be a format that could be a profitable idea online. Serious Inquiries only!

[jalcon]

Count me in!

[Parker]

OK. I've put this here for all those that haven't signed up so to say. All those interested in doing this, please just make a reply saying so and I'm sure Schweaty will have all the info worked out very soon, and we'll fill up the spots with the first come first serve basis.

[Parker]

Ok...right now we have what....10 people that are in. I believe that we need a # like 16 to make it easy to manage. So lets get those 6 other people and get this thing rolling. Preseason games start this weekend I believe.

[farbio]

c'mon people, time to sign up for some fun ff!

[Parker]

c'mon people, time to sign up for some fun ff!

Are you arleady on Schweatys' list of players? Right now I believe that we have 8 players total and that is what we're going to use. I'm waiting for an EMail from him to confirm this. So I guess if anyone else is interested, get ahold of Schweaty asap.

[farbio]

i should be...sent him a pm w/ my email awhile ago

[Parker]

i should be...sent him a pm w/ my email awhile ago

Then your one of the lucky 8. Now I just wish he'd PM or EMail me with the Draft date and instructions for the league he has set up.

[Schweaty]

ok invites are set and we're good 2 go. please check your email addys that you gave me and get registered :)

[jdrock24]

ok invites are set and we're good 2 go. please check your email addys that you gave me and get registered :)

I'm registered and good to go. (Thanks Schweaty!)

My only concern is the live draft date. The Saturday of Labor Day weekend might be tough for me to find a computer. But I'll do my best if it cannot be changed.

I haven't got to my EMails yet, but if I'm reading right, the draft is on a Labor Day Sat. Umm, IMO it would be better say if we held the draft even this weekend. I for 1 no I'm going to be very busy that whole weekend starting on Thurs. But I guess if it can't be changed, I'll have to auto draft (which sucks) :mad:

[farbio]

haven't got my emails yet either parker, but another nay to the saturday of labor day...i'll auto draft if i have to though, no big probs on it

[jalcon]

I'm in. For those of you worried about not making the live draft, you have the option of pre-ranking players and having the computer select.

[Schweaty]

how about the 28th of August? its a monday as well. monday night is the best time for me as its my only full day off work. saturday afternoons are good to but i dont know what timezone everyone is in.....

[jdrock24]

I'm sorry Schweaty. I didn't know about the auto draft function. I could certainly use that with no problem.

However, if you are open to changing it. Monday the 28th at the same time (10 EST) would be perfect for me. ;)

[farbio]

the changed time would work for me too

[Parker]

Monday at 10 should be just fine for myself also.

[armanisuit]

i would be able to do monday as well.

[Schweaty]

still waiting on D'art and Dizturbd to accept their invites. cant have a league with only six people :P

[Parker]

still waiting on D'art and Dizturbd to accept their invites. cant have a league with only six people :P

I'll get D'As attention somewhere else. As for Dizturbd, I guess I can Alert PM him.

[Schweaty]

ive contacted Farbio, D'A and Dizturbd via PM. once we get two more we can start the forum draft. how the hell we gonna determine what the draft order is though?

[jdrock24]

How about those who's username start with "J" go first? :D

Just kidding, you could do something comepletely random. For example, you could go alphabetically by the third letter in the person's SG-1 username. For example, mine would be "R". And if two people have the same third letter, then go to the fourth, and so on. (Note: This is just an example. Don't yell at me if you think it is a stupid idea ;) )

I don't know how many of you have the Mega Millions Lottery where you live, but we can all pick a number betwwen 1- 70 and when the numbers ares drawn on the Friday before the draft, the person with the closest number to the PowerBall number can go first and so on with the next furthest away and what-not. Just an idea. What do you guys think?

[dizturbd]

Well, it's a Yahoo league, so it can do an auto-select for draft order.

BTW, I've signed up.

[jdrock24]

Just an idea. What do you guys think?

That sounds like as good idea as any.

By the way, I need to verify the drafting round orders. It's going to be 1-8 in round one and then 8-1 in round two right? In other words, whoever drafts last in round one gets the first pick in round two, correct? (The only reason I ask is because I got screwed one year picking last in all rounds and, as you can imagine, did not get a very good team.)

[armanisuit]

thats correct, it should flipflop each round. 1-8, 8-1.
im fine with either the lottery idea or letting yahoo decide.

[jalcon]

Forum draft is not going to work for me, I am on vacation next week. Let me know if you want me to delete my team.

[Parker]

Forum draft is not going to work for me, I am on vacation next week. Let me know if you want me to delete my team.

Just log onto the yahoo site and manage what guys you like. Put them in priority of who you want to take first and so on. Then when the draft comes around, you'll have an auto draft and if you first pick is there, then you'll draft him. If he's not then it goes to the next guy on your list and sees if he is avalible and so on. So just be sure to pick a lot of players to make sure that you don't run out of guys for the auto draft to select for you.

[jdrock24]

It looks like all eight teams are signed up. I wouldn't mind setting a forum draft (or chat room) for Monday the 28th at night. It seemed like that was the best time that everyone could do. It would even fit with you jalcon assuming you're back from your vacation by then.

[dizturbd]

What Timezone are we talking about? I'm Arizona time.

[Schweaty]

ok, the FINAL draft date is set for Monday August 28th @ 10 PM EST. this seemed to be the day that worked for most people. it will be held on the Yahoo FFL site. seems that some timeslots opened up for us and we got the day and time we wanted. Also we have room for one more person. If anyone else from the SG-1 is interested plz have them send me an email addy asap. thx

That's great. Thanks for putting it together Schweaty.

[Parker]

I can't log in for some reason I keep getting this:

http://img9.imagevenue.com/loc355/th_19627_Clipboard01_122_355lo.jpg (http://img9.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=19627_Clipboard01_122_355lo.jpg)

So I hope someone can shed some light on this.

[Parker]

Ok...I edited my profile and was able to get in. But I see that we have 9 teams signed up. This isn't good. We're now going to need 3 more teams. So let's start talking to some members and get some fresh meat.

[jalcon]

You only need an even number of teams. 1 more would do.

[Schweaty]

You only need an even number of teams. 1 more would do. yeah just one more team will do :D

[farbio]

hey, the more teams the better!

[farbio]

and i'm all for letting yahoo pick draft order, although i think we should let schweaty go first in general since he set it all up

[Schweaty]

im gonna let yahoo randomize the picks. besides, i'd rather go last :D

[Parker]

im gonna let yahoo randomize the picks. besides, i'd rather go last :D

You just want the tunr pic, so you can have back-to-backers...lol

[farbio]

who doesnt love the back to back picks?? great deal for each round!

[jdrock24]

Hey! I just noticed that we got a tenth team! Now we can play every week with no byes.

I'll have to study up for the draft next Monday night. (Oh. Who am I kidding? I say that every year and end up not having time. Then I go in blind and pick the most godawful team one could imagine).

[Parker]

This is some great news...now I don't have to sit out the first week and watch all you fools have all the fun...Let the WAR begin.

[Schweaty]

You just want the tunr pic, so you can have back-to-backers...lol hell yes! i figured you'd all be glad we got the 10th team ;)

[jdrock24]

Tonights the night for the draft. Is everyone ready?

[dizturbd]

Didn't know it would just end like that. What happened?

[Parker]

I'm so fucked...that's what happened.

[dizturbd]

I'm pretty happy with my picks....

[jdrock24]

I think my season is going to rest on Steven Jackson's knee.

He better hold up...

[dizturbd]

Steven was a risky pick.

Actually, any Ram is a risky pick.

[Parker]

As of right now I'm set up for week one unless I see or something happens in the last week and a half.

[armanisuit]

damn I picked last!!
but i think i came out OK, but I am willing to listen to trade ideas. (I need GOOD receivers)

let the games begin!!

[jdrock24]

Steven was a risky pick.

Actually, any Ram is a risky pick.

I know, but I'm kind of a homer in that regard. Picking #9 was kind of hard since all of the top running backs were off the board by then.

My RBs are risky, my WR corp is OK but could have been better. Heck, the only players I'm OK with is Carson Palmer at QB (I'm glad he looked good last night) and Tony Gonzales at TE. I'm going to need a lot of luck this year to do any damage...

[Schweaty]

don't feel bad fellas i was doing two drafts at once and my fourth pick got auto'd. the system decided to choose Dominic Davis (HOU) who is probably gonna be out for the year. i was a little bent when i switched back over and saw that but no big deal, im still pleased with my team.

[D'Artagnan]

sorry my computer crashed and i didnt get a new pc until yesterday and i cant log in to the draft lol!

geez.

[Parker]

jalcon..you should have played Heath Miller...lol

[Schweaty]

jalcon..you should have played Heath Miller...lol yeah, no kidding. he was wide open on that play action pass he took to the house, even though he went out of bounds at the 2 ;)

[Parker]

SHIT!...I should have played the Detroit Lions for my Defense today. They already have a blocked field goal and a forced fumble and recovery....AHHHHHH. And it's still in the first quarter.

Now it's halftime and I have 30 points sitting on the bench...wtf am I doing.....

[Parker]

What a shitty way to start this off. I left 41.30 points on the bench and the Lions lost on a last second field goal....sheeesh

[jdrock24]

You think you have it tough? The highest scorer on my team is my backup kicker. A kicker, for heaven's sake!

And what makes it worse, is that I was going to change kickers earlier in the week and then it slipped my mind and never got done. I'm such an idiot.

Hey, but at least the Rams won. Thanks to my back up kicker Jeff Wilkins!

[Parker]

You think you have it tough? The highest scorer on my team is my backup kicker. A kicker, for heaven's sake!

Yep...My kicker was my highest scorer too. I have my TE playing tonight, and the only way I can win this weeks match-up is if Moss has a terrible game and my TE catches 4 TD and has like 100 yards. Then maybe and I mean maybe I can pull out a win.

[jalcon]

My team seemed to do okay. I think that Winslow will be the sleeper pick of the year.

[jdrock24]

I can't believe that I eeked out a win by .2 points over Schweaty's Balls. I thought I was doomed for sure when LaDanian Tomlinson rushed for about 100 yards in the first half against the Raiders. That was a close one for sure!

[Creamy Goodness]

i gotta win this week
to go down 0-2 would be tough to comeback from

[jdrock24]

This week sucks. I can't believe that I can have my team score 80 freaking points and still do down in defeat if Michael Vick has any kind of game on MNF. I mean, what are the odds that the Saints defense is going to hold him under nine points? Not very good I would say.

[jdrock24]

Disregard my assinine statement above. I guess that's why they play the games...

Thank you Saints!

[armanisuit]

Disregard my assinine statement above. I guess that's why they play the games...

Thank you Saints!

Hahaha, yeah I would not have guessed Vick would be held to that low a score either. The Saints really put on a show for the city of New Orleans.

looks like you might have a win...?

[Creamy Goodness]

two wins in a row, yay
and just as i was buildin momentum Shaun Alexander goes down for a couple ol weeks

[Parker]

I haven't been paying any attention to this at all. I've just got a bunch of other things going on right now to even try to think about it. So I'm just leaving my team as it is and maybe I'll get lucky one week or two.

[Creamy Goodness]

Hopefully this weak against schweaty the bye will work in my favour!

[Creamy Goodness]

Nice matchup this week against jdrock's team
M.Bulger and T.Holt vs I.Bruce, S.Jackson and J.Wilkins
J.Jones vs D.Bledsoe, T.Glenn

i hope St.Louis passes a lot and Dallas runs a lot

[armanisuit]

Damn, my team sucks, I need some more consistent WRs.

It is an interesting matchup. I'm not sure who will win but it is going to boil down to two games: Rams vs Packers and Cowboys vs Eagles. I hope that Steven Jackson goes off against that weak Packer D and that the Eagles are so concerned about Terrell Owens that they leave Glenn wide open for several scores.

Go Jabronis!

[jdrock24]

Well, my team sucked this week. Creamy really "creamed" me. It hurt me a lot with the Bengals on a bye and having to go with Drew f****** Bledsoe as my QB.

Oh well, time to put this one behind me and move on.

[Creamy Goodness]

Bledsoe was the difference, haha

[jdrock24]

My team's problems are that they cannot find the end zone. They can pile up the yards, but that really doesn't matter in a TD dependent league like this.

Of course it does not help when Bledsoe throws three F****** interceptions either!

[Creamy Goodness]

The last interception in the final minute didn't help

[jdrock24]

The Monroe Barfly's look unstoppable with Peyton Manning at the helm. Not even Creamy could compete with his loaded team.

[dizturbd]

Whoops. I forgot to adjust my lineup this week. I hate it when life gets in the way of the fun stuff.

[Creamy Goodness]

I need S.Alexander back to give my team more rb production!
Damn you Darrent Williams!!

[jdrock24]

I have officially hit rock bottom in the SG-1 Fantasy Football League. Not only did I lose to the 0-8 Katrina, but he didn't even have an active QB and WR.

I give up. Everyone who plays against me seems to have a career day. Sort of like the Rams' run defense...

[dizturbd]

jdrock, make some transactions. Fantasy football really needs a lot of caressing and love. I moved some players around and "Voila" A VICTORY! Stick with it, man. I am 2-7 and 3-6 in other leagues. 4-5 in this one. In 12 years playing fantasy football, I made the playoffs once. I stomped the competition during the regular season and lost in the first round.

I know. I'm just frustrated. I was really expecting an easy win this week and BAM! I get beat by a guy that didn't even care enough to switch his QB and WR who were out and he got zero points from. Carson Palmer has been a huge disappointment for me. But I don't know who I would replace him with that might be better and available.

[Creamy Goodness]

that was one bad loss jdrock
i just scraped through over pud shooters, it was an important win to keep clear of the pack and have a better matchup for the playoff, ie not facing monroe barflys in the first round

[Parker]

I know. You're lucky that McGahee got hurt and for some reason they held out Joe Horn. Those two guys got me pretty much nothing. I should have played Kevin Jones instead of Barber III, but hey, he's been scoring TDs left and right for the Cowboys.

[farbio]

WOOHOO!!
Finally, a victory!
Btw, if anyone wants a qb to be benched sunday morning or to get hurt, let me know, I'll be happy to add them to my team for you!

-kinda dissappointed though - I was looking forward to going 0-for:)

this is very true - I've done ff for 6 years now, and 1 move can make a big difference - I may suck in this league, but I'm 8-1 in another, 6-3 & 4-5 in others, and its amazing what one move can do for you. I won a league last year that i was sucking the first 3 weeks in, made a single receiver change, whent on a 6 week win streak and went into the playoffs i think 9-4 to carry through, so just keep at it!

[Parker]

I need ol' Jake Delhomeboy to throw for like 4 or 5 TDs and for like 300 yards in the Monday Nighter to pull out the miracle win...lol

[jdrock24]

There's something fishy going on. Yahoo said that I beat the Barfly's on Monday Tuesday, Wendesday, and Thursday. All of sudden this morning, the Barfly's get an extra point from somewhere and now I have a loss. Why did it take four days to get that extra point? I feel kind of ripped off when I thought I had a great victory.

[Creamy Goodness]

Hey, i didn't realise it is the last week of the regular season in FFL, this week will determine the playoff standings.
5 teams (although pud shooters would need to score an incredible amount and need results to fall favourably) can make the final two spots to play for the championship

Tell me about it Creamy. Can you take it easy on me this week so I can limp into the playoffs and be blown away by either you or the Barflys?

[armanisuit]

if i get last place this year, does that mean i can have first pick in the next one?? :D :D :D

[dizturbd]

I never looked at the playoff setup and I thought the top 6 would get in. Doh, I guess there's always next year. Unless Cowboys, Schweaty, and JD can do me a favor and lose. I would still have to beat the ALWAYS dangerous Katrina.

[jdrock24]

I'm in kind of an awkward situation this week. I'm a Rams' fan in real life but am playing Creamy who has Marc Bulger and Torry Holt on his team. Meanwhile, I have Steven Jackson and Jeff Wilkins.

So I want the Rams to win but Bulger and Holt to have so-so games. Meanwhile, Steven Jackson needs to have a big game with a bunch of field goals/extra points from Jeff Wilkins. What are the odds of all those things happening?

[dizturbd]

Haha, that's fantastic. I just saw a show that talked about NFL players that play fantasy football. Chris Cooley said he knocked his fantasy team out of playoff contention because he was on his opponents roster when he had a 3 TD day. He said he couldn't help but think about it everytime he scored that day. Now that would be an awkward situation.

I read a story about that also (on ESPN.com I think). The story was about a defensive player from the Colts who has Tom Brady on his fantasy team. He had to sit him the week they played the Patriots because he didn't want to be thinking about it.

Also, I think I might have squeaked into the playoffs with a victory over Creamy tonight. We'll see how Yahoo adds up the numbers in the morning...

I think i might come over the top of ya jdrock, Bulger with 3 td's, holt with 2 td's might be enough

Playoffs here i run!

Not quite Creamy. You forgot about Jackson having two touchdowns and a bunch of running and recieving yards. Barring any of those stupid "stat adjustments", I've squeaked out a win.

Ironically, we will play again this week in the first round of the playoffs. Be afraid, be very afraid...

[Creamy Goodness]

What are the Rams doing, they've gone away from the passing game that won them so many matches over recent years, now with them trying to establish the run they are losing. That's funny. Their D is non-existent.

Hopefully S.Alexander has a decent game this week, maybe then i can turn the tables on u jdrock

[Parker]

I'm just happy I'm still playing..lol My team always seems to have one or two guys do good and the rest fall on their asses. I'm just hoping to finish w/ an anove 500 record.

[jdrock24]

Well, it looks like I get to be the sacrificial lamb in this week's SG-1 FFL Championship Game. It doesn't look good with the Colts playing the Texans. But who knows? I could pull a monumental upset.

The guy I really feel sorry for is Schweaty. His team scored 95 points and lost while I scored 57 and won. But that's the way things work in fantasy football.

Go Jabronis!

[jdrock24]

It looks like I've pulled a monumental upset. Yahoo shows that I've won the championship by 1.18 points. However, I'm not going to claim victory just yet. Yahoo showed I beat the Barflys during the regular season too and then snatched that victory away from me with "stat adjustments". So I'll give it a few days before celebrating.

[Creamy Goodness]

congrats to jdrock, can't believe u beat barflys who only lost twice during the regular season compared to u who had a 8-6 regular season record including a lost to a team that only had one win all season. Guess u got hot at the right time

[jdrock24]

Thanks for the congrats Creamy. I'll give it to the end of the day for any "stat adjustments" and then I might celebrate.

I think the St. Louis Cardinals and my Jabronis proved that all you have to do is get into the playoffs and then anything can happen.

[dizturbd]

Yep, good job JD. I got hot towards the end of the season, but it was too little, too late. Congratulations on the hard fought season. It was fun and I hope we are all around to do it again next year.

[jdrock24]

Okay, I think I'm safe now and can display my trophy as my avatar. Yeah me!

I definitely hope we can do it again next year. This turned out great.

[jalcon]

Congrats on the win JD!

[Parker]

Congrats to all of you. I had a good time most of the time while I was doing this. Maybe we can get a BaseBall league going in the spring. Don't know, But like I said, I had a fun time doing this and I hope all of you did too.

[Creamy Goodness]

i'm in for fantasy baseball
