With the first week of preseason in the books, it's time to officially acknowledge that football is indeed back baby!  Like last year I'll have a write-up of the Panthers posted before week 1, but I'm cautiously optimistic this year.  We'll probably win the NFC South for the 4th straight year, but beyond that it's murky.

Pressing questions:
  • Will Tom Brady lose his starting job to Jimmy Garoppolo, or will he lose it to Jacoby Brissett who will beat out Garoppolo in camp?
  • Will Favre come back now that he's in the HOF to sling it one more time?
  • Will the Browns finally be relegated to the CFL?
  • Will the MVP finally be awarded to the most deserving recipient: The Troops?
  • Will the AFCCG not be Patriots vs Steelers?

Fantasy Champs:
2012 - Kilga
2013 - Vic Viper
2014 - Kilga
2015 - PX

How's y'all's favorite teams looking?

The Chargers got kicked out of LA so now they're crawling back to San Diego. Also they lost their best player. 6-10

The Rams have now moved back to LA and are back to being the hometown heroes. They got the most exciting draft pick last year and got a QB this year. Prepared for the 8-8 for the next 8 years and losing to the worst team and beating the best one every year.

The Raiders are possibly going to move here, which means more traffic around where I work because they're going to build the damn stadium across the freeway from the strip. Good young talent on the team and plenty of upside, and the rest of the division is still ass. Possible play off run for them.

Which one do I cheer for?!

I thought the Raiders were moving to San Antonio? Or is Vegas going to suddenly have 2 pro teams?

PX here are a few reasons that you should not pull for the Chargers anymore:
  • They are Dumb and Bad because Dean Spanos is Dumb and Bad.
  • They fired a head coach after going 14-2
  • Drafted Eli Manning after he told them not to, then had to trade for Philip Rivers
  • They then wasted Philip Rivers' career by never having the personnel to make that next step
  • They hate San Diego and probably all of California, which is probably why the NFL told them to pound sand and are more open to freaking Al Davis Jr moving the Raiders yet again
  • Can't beat the Broncos
  • I did no research on this list
  • Dean Spanos is Bad (also Dumb)

League renewed! Looks like everyone from last year auto-joined, which is a nice feature.

When's a good day for the draft?  We can do something like sunday evening on the 4th, or wednesday the 7th, or something?

I've put it as Tuesday, Sept 6th at 9 PM (Eastern) for the time being, but that's hardly set in stone. I would have trouble doing anything on Wednesday Sept 7th before 10 PM, though if everyone is okay with that then I'll set it for there.

Can def do that Tuesday time.  Can't wait to once again agonize over every single late round pick that I'll inevitably drop later!

Sunday is a little better for me but I can do Tuesday with no issues.

Would ilke to make sure that everyone from last year is actually in for this year, too - I know it auto-renewed but we haven't heard from everyone yet

I suspect TSO will need a replacement at the very least. Not sure who's available, though.

EDIT: Wait I'm dumb, TSO dropped before last year. WHATEVER

Here's the list of potential people, best as I can recall. Bold is confirmed, italic is people that weren't in the league last year.

Kilga
Edible
Vic
PX
DAya
yuyukos
Hina
Hainiryuun
FroMonk

Zirene
Soul Devour
TSO

Not returning:

Arashi (doesn't have access to her Yahoo account anymore?)

Let's say I was interested in this, but also don't know the first thing about it, what do I have to do, in terms of registering and in terms of week to week?

We should, particularly if Edible can provide a balancing friend should we need one. Gimme your e-mail addie so I can send an invite.

Let's say I was interested in this, but also don't know the first thing about it, what do I have to do, in terms of registering and in terms of week to week?

In order to register, you need a Yahoo e-mail account that I can send an invite to. The instructions in the invite should be helpful enough on their own that you can get in.

For the actual draft process, if you're doing this for the first time and aren't really too terribly caught up on all the players in the league, you're generally pretty safe following Yahoo's rankings while considering positions you need versus positions you don't (and also possibly considering bye weeks, depending on who you listen to). Thankfully football is leagues less complicated than baseball and all players contributes toward the same general set of points so you don't need to worry too much about different skill sets.

For week-to-week purposes, you can usually get away with popping in and checking on the status of your players once a day for not even five minutes, though you'll always want to make sure to do another status check shortly before each set of games in a given week (Thursday night game, Sunday early afternoon games, Sunday later afternoon games, Sunday night game, Monday night game, plus some other occasional special time slots) to make sure players aren't suddenly injured and need to be subbed out for someone else. You might also want to keep an ear to the ground regarding players trending up, down, or toward injury - there are plenty of sites out there that can help with this (including Yahoo, obviously).

Alternatively, you can draft no one but players from bird teams like PX did four years running. It actually won him the title last year, so who are the rest of us to criticize?

If there are 12 people I'll trim a few spots per what we usually do.

EDIT: Going from 10 teams to 12 means dropping a QB spot, a WR spot, the W/R spot, and a bench spot. Sound good?
