Any interest in fantasy football this year.

[nikimcbee]

Gauging level of interest. Post here if you want to play.:hmmm:

If I do a league, we'll do the draft on Sept 1. The first game is on the 5th.

[Herr-Berbunch]

I think you'll find that proper FOOTBALL starts this coming week. Handegg, on the other hand, may be later. :O:

[Gargamel]

Im game. But it'll have to be a site that can be 100% mobile, like yahoo.

[CaptainHaplo]

I had a blast with it last year and would LOVE to have another go this year!

[nikimcbee]

It's on yahoo.:D

[mookiemookie]

I'm in, as usual. I've gone from 12th place to 9th place to 4th. It's my year this year!

[nikimcbee]

Okay at some point i'll send the invites out. At anybody new, I'll PM you with the info. Basically, this is how it works: we have 12 slots, it's first come, first serve. Please only sign up if you can actually participate. I think, last year was the first time we had no zombie teams.

[Pioneer]

<<<< IN.

[nikimcbee]

The gates are open. first 11 in get a free Mayan Calender.

[antikristuseke]

Don't you mean fantasy handegg?:D

[Sailor Steve]

Handegg

handegg?
I have an old pair of glasses you can have. :O:

[Takeda Shingen]

Every year I see my European friends mocking American football. Every year I see my American friends not retaliating in threats about European football and rugby. I wish that the courtesy would be returned. We are but one peoples.

Best of luck with the league. I know how hard it can be to sit in the commissioner's chair.

[antikristuseke]

Well to be fair, football is played mostly by pansies, handegg is little better. Hurling is where it is at :)

[Gargamel]

Iirc, hurling is golf crossed with hammer throw, but they give some poor schmucks protest signs to catch the rock? Yes?

Edit: ok maybe not. What the heck am I thinking of? It's one of them wacky gaelic games.

[CaptainHaplo]

I'm in, as usual. I've gone from 12th place to 9th place to 4th. It's my year this year!

Last year was my first - and I came in uhm... somewhere above 10th. TOP TEN! WOOHOO! LOL! Regardless of where I placed - I had a blast!

I think, last year was the first time we had no zombie teams.

We didn't start with any, but I swear toward the end there some teams were on autopilot.

[mr chris]

Count me in Niki, if the is still space. I'm back from tour and looking forward to trying to win my first title, had a utter blast last year as normal.

You should see the stick i get at work when people find out that American Football is my favourite sport. I just chuckle at their gross misconceptions about the game.

I forget who your team is, did you get an invite?

[mr chris]

The Helmand Nighthawks is my team, i got the invite thanks Niki.

[nikimcbee]

Six spots to go.:o

[mookiemookie]

Rick probably hasn't seen the thread yet.

[Chad]

I'm in!

This is hurling.

Or is that clip all a bit one sided?

[nikimcbee]

I'm in!

Check your PM, 5 slots left

[CaptainHaplo]

Cmon folks - this is a hugely fun game! I played my first last year - so you know if I can grasp it - it can't be complicated! Take a gamble and have a blast!

[Sailor Steve]

Hurling is where it is at :)
Why would anybody want to watch people throw up? :O:

Sorry, couldn't resist.

[Aramike]

I'm around for my annual not-quite-good-enough-to-win-it-all run. :arrgh!:

[mookiemookie]

At this rate, we're gonna have trouble filling out 10 teams, let alone 12! :huh:

[TarJak]

I'm in.

[mr chris]

Think of all the talent on waviers. :D

[nikimcbee]

Three spots left.

I just changed the leauge setting to 16 team. We're not have 16 teams, it's just to allow new players to join. They (new people) are getting error messages the league is full, so it won't let then join.

[TarJak]

Linky please nicki

It's going to be a 12 team league, correct?

Yes.

If you're serious about playing the whole season (through December:dead: last game of regular season) I'll send you the info:up:, but if you play 2 games, then decide it's not for me, then:down::down::down:. It does require a minimum level of commitment.:hmmm:

There's still three spots left, so decide quick.

[mookiemookie]

We don't have two more people interested?

[Chad]

I'm in. When does registration end?

[mookiemookie]

I'm in. When does registration end?

You're already in the league, from what I can see.

[CaptainHaplo]

Good lord - will we have to do 10? - Lots of bye weeks!

[mookiemookie]

No bye weeks - everyone will have to play some other teams more than once.

[nikimcbee]

When I says I'm in I'm in.:salute:

Oops, just saw this.:oops:

[TarJak]

Go the Tarjakistan Tarballs!:arrgh!:

[mookiemookie]

No Rick this year?

[nikimcbee]

1 spot left.

On a side note, we've got 2 Aussies in the league, and they're both named Grant. :haha:God save us all.:hmph:

[Gargamel]

May have issues making the draft. May have to work, and if not, no ISP and can't figure out how to live draft on mobile.

How are we handling absentees in the draft?

Yahoo will auto draft for you based on your pre-draft player list. If you can't make your draft time, be sure you re-rank your list according to your whims and wishes - move anyone you don't want on your team to the bottom of the list. You can do that here: http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/481248/4/prerank

[RickC Sniper]

No Rick this year?

Thanks for thinking of me, but no, not this year.

[nikimcbee]

Zero spaces left. League capped at 12. See ya'll at the draft.:Kaleun_Cheers:

[mookiemookie]

I'm glad Rick's giving me a chance to win this year. :arrgh!:

[CaptainHaplo]

WOO HOO! We got 12!

[nikimcbee]

Reapers made it in by the skin of their teeth. I was getting ready to send the log-in info to a co-worker. I noticed that the "odd number" message was gone.:woot:

[mr chris]

Draft still on for this Saturday?

[mookiemookie]

3 days and 9 minutes from now, by my count.

[mr chris]

Good oh, Here's hoping i avoid the 1st pick this year.

[1480]

Wish I was not out of the loop so long.

[TarJak]

Bugger I'm going away this weekend and will have to put my picks on auto.:hmmm:

[nikimcbee]

Wish I was not out of the loop so long.

you show up now?:/\\!! I was hoping you'd make it this year.:/\\k: You missed by 2 days.

[TarJak]

I'll put my hand up for some help 1480. All I'll be doing this season is making uneducated guesses.:hmm2:

Starts in 24 minutes

[CaptainHaplo]

20min

I am ready - gonna log in about 5 beforehand - already logged in a couple of hours ago to make sure I could get to it. :arrgh!:

[nikimcbee]

Three cheers for Tarjak.
:woot:
:woot:
:woot:
:haha::D

[CaptainHaplo]

Tarjak, Tarjak
He's DA MAN!
If he doesn't lose,
We're all screwed!

Ok seriously - I dunno what was up with that - but I will wish him the best - as long as he isn't playing the Black Cats!

[mookiemookie]

Tarjak has a good feeling about the 49ers this year. Making their D and their kicker his round 1 and 2 picks....some may say that's crazy, but Tarjak says it's crazy enough that it just might work.

[CaptainHaplo]

I have to admit - that is the first time I have ever seen not only the 1st and 2nd round picks go that way - but to draft 2 kickers and 2 defenses as well...

That's just - ballsy.

[mookiemookie]

That's just - ballsy.

Not exactly the adjective I would use for it.

[mapuc]

First time I have seen (or remembered) Fantasy fotball, so I going to follow it with huge interest.

[TarJak]

Glad to provide some entertainment for you lot. Either I'm nuts or my special teams will kick your offenses around the park. :O:

With 25% of your roster being kickers and defenses, you better hope so.

Well, look at the bright side, he could have "homer'ed it" and picked all Raiders players.:arrgh!:

You gotta learn somehow. Don't worry TJ, you'll have fun.:D

[TarJak]

That is the point isn't it?:woot:

[mookiemookie]

That is the point isn't it?:woot:

Indeed. And the gentle ribbing of your leaguemates. That's also a big part. :arrgh!:
