(For some reason Yahoo found it pertinent to open fantasy football signups in May this year.)
We're back for Year 2! Twice the excitement! Twice the experience! Twice the intensity! Twice the number of warnings not to accept any of Edible's trade offers because he's trying to fleece you! The Ghostly Field Club's human GPS took home the gold last year. Are back-to-back titles written in the stars? Will Buddhism strongarm its way to a championship some could argue should have happened last year? Or will a dark horse arise from somewhere else, like Gradius or Ohtori Academy or even PX's QB-deficient aviary? And, perhaps most important of all, with Tebow go in the second round again?
I'm making this thread now because why not (though I need to renew the league - that'll happen in a couple of hours). Let's gauge this year's interest! I'm hoping for at least 10 this time, if not 12. If you like football but aren't familiar with fantasy, ask some questions and we'll be glad to answer them.
OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS! Since Yahoo opened up signups so early, we have the chance to follow in the footsteps of the RPGDL fantasy leagues and do an offline draft right here in this thread. It takes a while and is susceptible to training camp injuries (hi Arian Foster), but it guarantees everyone gets to take part. What say ye?

Count me in, but I'd prefer a regular snake draft sometime during late preseason. There's no real point in drafting until rosters are solidified, imo.
Edit: I'm not actually opposed to doing a draft in here, just stating my preferences.
-
It will be a snake daft regardless, so that aspect at least is not a concern.
I can do either style and do not plan on pushing hard for the offline draft. I figured it was worth mentioning just in case.
(Fun fact: my one and only RPGDL offline draft was two years ago, and I took Ryan Williams the day before he blew out his knee. I got stuck with Beanie Wells as comp. The saga never ends with me and those two. <_<)
-
Have you considered just never drafting any players from Arizona?
-
He was my 4th RB, so it wasn't a huge loss. It was more amusingly annoying than anything else.
I will admit I was set to jump off the Larry Fitz wagon, but stupidass Carson Palmer has convinced me to stick with him for one more year.
-
Okay, I've renewed the league.
Due to the way invites work in terms of taking up manager spots, I only sent them to people I was fairly confident would rejoin (Edible, PX, Vic, TSO, yuyukos, Zirene). Arashi and Drunk Aya, you are both more than welcome to play again if you wish, I just didn't want to seal off a manager spot in case either of you didn't feel like returning.
If Kerigis wants to rejoin he has to write a 500-word-minimum essay about where he disappeared to last season and why it won't happen again this season. <_<
If anyone that didn't get an invite, be they Arashi, Drunk Aya, or a new person, wants to join, post saying so and provide an e-mail address and I'll sent you an invite!
EDIT: Will edit the league URL into the OP momentarily.

Michael Vick, I swear you won't sucker me in this year, no matter how good you look during the preseason. :V

I'm in~ Even if we aren't drafting for like, uh, 3 months. nayuki at gmail dot com~

KILGA I'M GOING TO BEAT YOU THIS YEAR! JUST YOU WATCH!!!

In! Hopefully I won't have to run of 6 in a row to get to the playoffs this year. Thanks for that invite, I'm always down for fantasy football. This is looking good we have 8 already! "Unfadable so please don't try to fade this." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qkP8SvHvaU)

Tim Tebow for dark horse of the year calling it now

HEY PX
HOW ABOUT THAT DENNIS PITTA
-
Welp. Arrested, fired by the Pats, charged with first-degree murder.
This has not been a good week for Boston. <_<
-
Tim Tebow for starting TE for the Patriots (the TE stands for TEbow)
-
Man, signing Tebow and have him be your starting TE? God must really hate Belicheck.

They're not going to make a guy who has never played TE his entire life convert 4 years into his NFL career, c'mon <_<
-
I know I just wanted to make the joke ok :ohdear:
-
And thus God hath made Tebow a starter
-
So what do you guys and gals think about which format we should draft? I'm fine with either option but I'd prefer a live draft like last year. I really enjoy the atmosphere of being able to talk to everyone while we draft. Also, since we've got over 2 months till the draft we can hopefully find a date that will work for everyone. I'm available pretty much any time.
Assuming we get to 10 teams, are we going to do the same format as last year? I enjoyed the 4 WR quite a bit, it's a deep position. Correct me if I'm wrong but I remember it being the following:
2 QB
2 RB
4 WR
1 Flex
1 Defense
1 Kicker
-
If we only have 10 we'll do the same format as least year. If we can get up to 12, I'll drop a QB and WR.
-
Bernard Pollard.
2008: Breaks Tom Brady's knee.
2009: Tears Wes Welker's ACL.
2012: Injures Ron Gronkowski, severely limiting his ability to play in the Superbowl.
2013: Was the last player to tackle Aaron Hernandez.
-
I thought he tore Tom Brady's ACL, not broke his knee?
-
Whatever it was, yeah.
-
Injuries, injuries everywhere and it's barely the preseason.
Jeremy Maclin right ACL out for year.
Dennis Pitta dislocated hip out for year.
Also, I prefer live draft for the trash talk discussion about taking Tim Tebow.
-
Harvin out as well ;_;
-
Dennis Pitta dislocated hip out for year.
And the gap between Jimmy Graham and the field gets even larger.
-
Speaking of fields, it's getting reasonably close to crunch time.
Can we start working on a date/time? September 1st is a Sunday and the next day is a holiday, so that might be our best bet.
-

I'm fine with this.

Won't know if I work that day until the week before, but I can always request it off, so fine for me.

Works for me. My time schedule is pretty flexible anyway, after 4:00 CT most days I'm free.
So I'm giving College FF a try again this year with my IRL friends. Were not sure on the format but certainly BCS only, I think using the old 6 AQ conferences would work better. It can get pretty stupid if someone like Case Keenum is out there. Also if you really want to win you have to go pretty deep on your studying to find those random great players in bad conferences.

Hmm, we need a few more people. Any takers?

Arashi said on MotKchan that she would do it again, but I sent her a PM here a couple of weeks ago that she completely ignored. :C If any of you catch her on IRC or something, bug her about this.
If Arashi declines for some reason then I might try to punch Purvis into submission.

aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh I did see it and then completely forgot
But PX caught me on IRC so yeah.
Since I'm working ~*~retail~*~this year I'm likely to miss the draft since I'm basically always working during sane weekend times (and actually the 1st is Labor Day weekend isn't it? Family reunion might be that day) but eh autodraft can do it for me. :V (Don't try to schedule around me especially on likely-to-be-Sundays, I don't know my hours far enough in advance.)
EDIT: ... oops I need an invite though. :V arashikurobara at gmail dot com (it's obvious enough I don't mind it being just out here as long as I obfuscate it a little =P)
-
I'll send you an invite when I get back from Otakon. I don't think I can do it from my phone.

Ah curses...I'm guessing I'm too late.
-
If you want in, post your e-mail address and I'll send an invite. I'm sure I can dig up a 12th from somewhere.
EDIT: For everyone's reference, if we do end up with 12, I will cull a QB slot and a WR slot.
-
Alright, wonderful. Email is andrew.panman@gmail.com
Draft on September 1st, eh? That should give us pretty time to see who else gets knocked out of the season unexpectedly or who might end up being a sleeper pick (I'M LOOKING AT YOU, LAQUAN WILLIAMS).
-
Invite sent. I'll start scouring for a 12th tonight.
-

The entire Chargers offense, apparently

Austin Collie!

who might end up being a sleeper pick
Zach Sudfeld is starting at TE for the Patriots.
Just saying. :V

I can just play a second team if necessary.
(They'll wind up as #1 and #2 respectively :smug:)

My drafting regimen is so good that I can get multiple teams to the playoffs at the same time*!
*barring illegal taoist interference and also the unstoppable crushing wheel of fate

I'm gonna get my revenge this year and just crush Kilga*
*probably lose badly
-
So I'm in another FF league with my buddies from Arkansas and our commissioner named it Petrino's Cathouse, I'm dying laughing (mostly because hopefully we won't have another nightmare of a season like last year). It's almost FOOTBALL SEASON! Less than 2 week till College football kickoff! I will have revenge...

If you still need a 12th, I'll play. Email is nofear3838@hotmail.com

Oh my god did y'all see or hear about Dustin Keller's knee injury? This is one of the worst injuries I've seen in football in a long time. He tore his ACL, MCL, PCL, and dislocated his knee, basically it couldn't get much worse unless there was damage to his arteries in his leg, which luckily there isn't. I really feel sorry for him, this might be career ending.
To make matters a little worse D.J. Swearinger, the guy that made the tackle, made what (in my opinion) was a clean tackle but he's getting heat like he tried to do it on purpose. He's a defensive back making a tackle on a tight end, he has to go low and in his words ?If I would have hit him high, I would have gotten a fine. So I think I made the smartest play. I?m sorry it happened ? Right now it?s just instinct. You see somebody come across the middle, you gotta go low. You?re going to cost your team 15 yards. You?ve got to play within the rules.?. This has sparked up an unusual discussion, should there be rules against making tackles like that? I don't think that there should be but it's going to be a small thing.
-
This a terrible injury, I hope the best for him.
Where's this discussion happening? ESPN crew I'm guessing? Wherever it is, all these changes to help player safety will eventually just kill the game. There's only so much you can do when you have some guys who are 300+ lbs colliding into each other. This is a dangerous game where there's a good chance you get hurt. You can try and change that but I get the feeling it ultimately won't be as interesting for people to watch (namely because the defense won't be able to do squat without being penalized). Maybe Bernard Pollard was right when he said football wouldn't be around in 30 years. Not the football we know at least.

His career is probably over. Keller's knee was destroyed, he'll be lucky to walk again without pain barring a miracle recovery.

This has sparked up an unusual discussion, should there be rules against making tackles like that? I don't think that there should be but it's going to be a small thing.
Yeah, this isn't gonna happen imo. Can't tackle high, can't tackle low, where can you tackle? This is a sport where injuries happen. Swearinger's reaction is a natural result of all of the new rules and fines.
-
Where's this discussion happening? ESPN crew I'm guessing?
I heard a little bit about it on ESPN but there wasn't a discussion, they just brought the point up. There was a small discussion on an XM/Sirius NFL radio talk show when I was driving home about 2 hours ago. The consensus was no there shouldn't be a rule against this.
Yeah, this isn't gonna happen imo. Can't tackle high, can't tackle low, where can you tackle? This is a sport where injuries happen. Swearinger's reaction is a natural result of all of the new rules and fines.
I really doubt it too but this is the NFL, who knows what could happen they've jacked around with the rules a lot lately. You're right about Swearinger's reaction, he basically had to say what he said.

Is that 12 now? Remind me what the rosters are again :derp:?
-
Now would be a good time to discuss roster settings, yeah.
Current settings are:
QB, QB, WR, WR, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, W/R/T, K, DEF, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN
Since we have 12 people, I think Kilga plans on eliminating one QB and one WR slot. I would also like to eliminate one or two bench spots to encourage waiver moves.
We should also put the playoffs at 6 teams <_<;
My other personal preferences involve kicking PPR up to 1 instead of 0.5 and passing TDs to 6 instead of 4, but it's not really necessary

Yeah, definitely drop down to 1 QB. There isn't enough QB's to go around in a 12 man league. Doesn't matter to me either way on the other drops.
+1 to the point increases as well
-
- One QB and one WR are getting culled, yes. I am indifferent on culling one bench slot. I would object to culling two or adding any.
- The playoffs will be expanded to six teams so Edible can drop his Week 14 stinker in the playoff bracket instead of the consolation bracket.
- I am in favor of increasing QB TDs to 6, particularly given we're cutting a QB spot out. I also think all Matt Schaub TDs should be worth 12.
- I am opposed to increasing PPR to 1 because I think the receptions themselves start overtaking yardage in worth. I find 0.5 to be a happy medium in that receptions aren't trivial but they're not as important as yards. However I will obviously make this change if the majority wants it.

Yeah, cutting two is too many, looking at what's available. 5 should be plenty.

8) 8) 8)

I find 1PPR to be a more natural reflection of how well a receiver is helping his offense, especially in today's league. But any PPR is better than no PPR, so I'm fine with 0.5.
-
Assuming everyone holds onto a backup QB, I would be surprised if he isn't riding someone's bench. He isn't flashy, but you mostly know what you're getting from him and he doesn't make too many mistakes, which is what you should be looking for first and foremost when searching for a plugin.

I very much agree on removing 1 bench spot, last year there were a solid amount of wavier moves for the first year, but there could have been more. This will force people's hand to make more moves. Having as many newer players as we seem to have, I'm a little more hesitant on removing 2 spots.
We should also put the playoffs at 6 teams <_<;
My other personal preferences involve kicking PPR up to 1 instead of 0.5 and passing TDs to 6 instead of 4, but it's not really necessary
We certainly should have 6 players in a 12 player league to keep people interested. Interest in the league seemed to wane a bit toward the playoffs and while whole fiasco with Kerigis' team didn't help, more playoffs spots will keep people interested regardless.
Hmmmmm the PPR point value is something I'm less sure of, this one could have a much larger impact than it seems with 3 WRs. My gut reaction is stay at .5 PPR and move up to 6 points per TD but I'm usually biased toward TDs mattering more so that is coloring my decision. However, I'm fine with whatever decision we make. All my other leagues are standard or close to it so I like moving values around for some variety and I think it makes me better at evaluating players in the long run.
-
I just made most of the mentioned changes. PPR (get it) is still up in the air.
Also there is now an extremely important poll up for voting on the league message board.
-
I like PPR at 0.5 per and QB TD at 6 per. That reduced roster lineup looks good too.
Matt Schaub is a great bench QB, he's consistent, not under threat from his backup, and capable of exploding for points in the right situation.
Also Byakuren~~ :V
-
I'm personally for the reduction on the roster as well as the increase for TDs to 6. 6 team playoffs sounds good to me.
Do not want PPR risen to 1.
My 2 cents.

Speaking of PX's draft last year, it looks like Kevin Kolb's career might be over.
"According to the Buffalo News' Tim Graham, Kevin Kolb struggled to answer questions like "where are you" and "what's you're name" following his concussion in the third preseason game."
God damn :(
Poor guy. Was doing okay on the Cards but playing for that team ruined him last year.
-
For the sake of his health past the age of 40, he seriously needs to retire. It's depressing to hear that he's unable to respond to basic questions and God help him if he takes one more serious hit to the head.
-
What's the over/under on Ed Reed actually playing this year?
-
I'm wondering about the over/under on Kenbrell Thompkins's draft position. He went #74 overall in one of my leagues.
-
His adp is skyrocketing. 5th round is starting to look unsurprising for him, and it's still rising. People want that kid badly.

Man, this is adorable. I'm on vacation and thought 'Oh no worries, I'll just borrow my mom's iPad and use her 3G and BOOM, no problem'. Turns out you need flash to draft...so now I've hopped onto my brother's laptop and am trying to get enough of a signal from neighbors to load up all the pages. Fun stuff.
Currently outside in the street getting a signal =\
Halfway there on the loading screen!

The #1 thing I want right now is a WR that doesn't have a Week 9 bye. <_<
-
Okay, I'm officially angling for someone to take Boldin and Gonzo off of my hands so I can upgrade at WR3 to a guy that isn't on a bye in Week 9.
-
Well that was exciting. Nothing like standing in the middle of the street with my laptop head-high looking like an idiot while doing my first fantasy draft ever.
...Well, it will be memorable at least. And I got JACOBY JONES, so that's cool.
Also, is there some secret chat I don't know about?

[16:03] <@Reisen-Udongein-Inaba> AD/Eric Decker for AJ Green/David Wilson
[16:03] <@Reisen-Udongein-Inaba> (In another league)
[16:04] <@Reisen-Udongein-Inaba> Reasonably balanced, or too little for AD?
I was of the opinion to not make this trade.

Yeah whoops .-.
The funny thing is that Edible was of the same opinion, but for completely opposite reasons.

If any of you lot are looking for one final last-minute draft, I'm in some random Yahoo Custom league that has slightly better settings than Yahoo's default. The name of the league is The Search for Aaron's Gun and it drafts at 6 tonight. You should be able to find it through the "Join a Custom League" search menu thingie.
EDIT: That's 6 Eastern. So in about 80 minutes.

Everything went better than expected :V. Clearly I should just sleep through all the games.
Someone needs to shop Peyton's head onto Exodia because he obliterated opposing fantasy teams.
And indeed RIP Decker owners, Welker was on fire and Decker didn't bring in that TD pass. :ohdear:. Everyone figured Welker was going to take a chunk of targets away but this was ridiculous.

RE: Last night's embarrassment of the Giants, [23:32] <@Reisen-Udongein-Inaba> Over/Under: BRandon Jacobs gets a call from the Giants FO Tuesday at noon.
Giants to workout Brandon Jacobs, Willis McGahee, also Joe McKnight (http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Giants-to-work-out-Brandon-Jacobs-Willis-McGahee.html). David Wilson (and his owners), enjoy warming that bench.
Also, tune in tonight for Kilga's chase of ~*200*~ fantasy points.
-
Willis McGahee! Forgot about him. If I'm New York I'd pursue him ahead of Jacobs, the only thing he fumbles is the condoms box.
EDIT: Wait, that was Travis Henry. JOKE RUINED :(
EDIT 2: Also this and Boldin's performance makes me extremely happy I actually pulled off that AD trade that got posted a few pages ago.

I just don't care this year.
Edit: I say that and now I'm THIS CLOSE to winning this week.

And there goes my other RB2. :C
And your RB1 is an accident waiting to happen <_<
-
At least I have the corresponding RB1b.
-
Not even Rodgers could save me from the atrocity of the rest of my team this week.
-
Matt Schaub officially on the trading block. I need a WR1 way more than Schaub as my bench QB. Also need a RB2.
-
It looks like playing almost anyone against the Seahawks is a trap. I was up by about 26 with my opponent having Frank Gore, Vernon Davis, and SF's defense and I thought I was done for sure but Seattle's defense was clutch.
-
Seahawks gonna get clowned by the Jags this week. Just you watch. >_> <_<

Won the league this week with my team of second stringers. Yeah dawg.

It's embarrassing that Vick can put up 20 points after that game
-
God I don't know whether to start cutting my wrists yet or not, my team is awful this year :(
I still don't have a WR1 so you're still better off than me (probably). I am crossing my fingers that Gio Bernard starts to outperform BJGE (which will be soon) and he takes over for most snaps.
-
Shit, I have to choose between the Cowboy's game and the Theros pre-release at 2:00. What should I do?
If it's a blow out I'll go most likely. There's another event at 7:00 but I really wanted to play in both since I couldn't go Friday or Saturday and the set looks awesome.

Thanks for nothing, daryl.

But I already surrendered

Theros pre-release was the way to go. I went to play/work them instead of watching the Giants at 1 PM and I don't regret it (especially after seeing the final score :ohdear:). General feelings of my LGS' participants after yesterday and today was two thumbs up :V.

Well, Godgers having probably the worst game in his career did not help me, this week. Nor did every-single-player on my team having the same kind of game as he did. Projected to score over 120 points, didn't even get half that, lol.
On a plus side, McFadden's garbage time TD got me a W in one of my money leagues, so thats always a plus.

I was able to do both. I still stayed and watched the Cowboy's game :ohdear: but I did get some drafts in after.
I've been brewing decks for the last few weeks, as Theros is out, non stop, I love this time of year before people know whats good so you can try your crazy brews and not have outside influence from tournament results.

What the hell happened.
I won. I had just Eric Decker left and was down by 21 points and won. What the hell.

10-3, losses coming to Edible, Kilga and Arashi. Should probably just start playing without any WR, won't make that much of a difference.

Sorry Vic, your backup QB kind of has a poop smell about him

Boy my team laid an egg this week...
However in my other league Tony Gonzales = Autowin this week.

Barring a MNF miracle, this week will be an agonizing loss. Curse you Edibleeeeeeeeeeee~

"I should dump my entire roster."

So the Oakland A's and the Raiders share a stadium. The A's made the playoffs and the NFL is moving the Raiders/Chargers game forward seven hours as a result.
Now, during the Ravens opener debacle with the Orioles, the MLB whined incessantly that their schedule had been out for months and they were, essentially, there first - causing the Ravens to have to play the traditional superbowl victor's game as an away game. Where was this argument now?
Edit: Apparently it's because the baseball game is on saturday and the grounds crew has to convert the stadium.

To be fair, that has nothing to do with Richardson <_<
But yeah, that streak isn't going to last much longer. Hoyer's out for the season.

I didn't see any of those games. Was Hoyer really the only reason they were winning? Or was it more that Hoyer was better than Weeden?

Hey, Hoyer got knocked out really early on and they still won.

Ha. I was laughing it up at PX's expense about Vick pulling his hamstring, and then I check the results from the late late game and Rashad Jennings pulled his hammy in the first half also. Dat karmic balance :derp:.
-
Dropping Schaub outright, jfc
-
Friendly reminder - if anyone wants Julian Edelman, Kenbrell Thompkins, Willis McGahee, Daryl Richardson (lol), or any of my other players (Graham and Welker aside), hit me up with dat trade offerins'.
-
I will be willing to part with Peyton Manning for your entire roster
-
I don't think I need QB help that badly :ohdear:
-
Once this current trade goes through I'll have four RBs (plus Vereen) that I think are starter-worthy and will be highly interested in involving any of them in a trade where I upgrade at WR or QB.
EDIT: Just to be clear, RG3 or Boldin (as appropriate for the deal) will be pretty much required inclusions. Unless someone can convince me they have a WR that's that far ahead of Green or Cruz (not likely).
-
wahaha
So long, Matt Flynn.
Edit: Kilga, do you want Thompkins/Edelman/both? Would alleviate your bye problem with Boldin.
-
Once Gronk comes back I'm not sure how much I want anything to do with any NE WR not names Amendola. At the very least, the kind of deals I'm considering are things like Boldin/Jackson for ??? or Boldin/Lacy for ??? and a return of someone like Thompkins or Edelman isn't enough to warrant that price for me.
I wouldn't mind owning either of those guys, but I wouldn't offer the level of talent I was thinking of in my previous post.
-
I happen to have Amendola and would be looking to part with him for the right RB/TE because I am now committed to winning the league with only WR4s
-
The Amendola comment was mostly rhetorical, I wouldn't do Boldin+RB2 for him.
-
Poor Falcons.
Edit: Double poor Falcons. Julio Jones may be done for the year with a foot injury.
-
My team is an uncontrolled dumpster fire right now. I don't even login anymore to avoid crippling depression :(
That dumpster fire ain't getting put out anytime soon, sorry TSO >_>

Trade with me someone. Trade me anything for anyone on my roster. Except Peyton.

I would love to deal but Manning is literally the only guy of yours I'd want. :V

Intriguing deal. I'm actually fairly high on McGahee (and would rather have him than, say, Bilal Powell or Lamar Miller or Zac Stacy or whoever Oakland's gonna throw out there this week) so I give a slight edge to Vic on this one, but either of these guys could go in any number of directions.
-
I actually watched McGahee play and I think it's pure luck he got half as many yards as he got last week >_>
He's bye-week waiver bait just like Wilson to me, so either one is fine to roster for when I need to roster... someone else. I doubt I'll ever be in a situation to either A) trade them for someone worthwhile or B) start him.
Basically I like making trades \o/

Real talk I'm short a wideout this week. Someone help me please.

I'll trade one of my Seattle WRs and another one for Roberts and Seattle D

This could be a sneaky good pickup, but the medical estimates were week 9 or 10 at the earliest. I also completely forgot about him because he was drafted and never dropped in my other leagues.

Yeah.
This also happens to be the approximate timetable for David Wilson's return, so <_<

Xavier drafted Harvin. I don't remember seeing him get dropped. Oh well.

Also, someone please take a running back off my hands. Recklessberger compared LeVeon Bell to Adrian Peterson, how can you resist that upside?!?

Arashi if you're paying attention to this thread I have some ideas I want to throw your way after this week. (I want Jackson's bye week to pass before making the offers I'm thinking of.)
-
If I'm waiver rank 8 doesn't that mean I have a higher priority than Kilga at 12? Or does Kilga have first pick?
Basically I wanted Roddy White you jerk :<
-
I had Priority 4 at the time. It reset to 12 because my claim was processed.
Related note: the acquisition of Roddeh doesn't belay my desire for a WR upgrade.

I was actually looking more for a WR1/WR1/RB2(?) trade for Charles, now moreso with Amendola out with another injury.
Offer of Peyton Manning for starting roster still stands.
-
Ouch. I wish I could afford that, but.
I guess I can stick with what I have now.

Did someone say they're dealing RBs?
Because I think I heard someone say they're dealing RBs.

Whaddaya have for QBs and WRs?

My QBs are laughable, Kaepernick and Geno Smith.
WRs I got Fitz, Decker, Mike Williams, Denarius Moore and Kendall Wright. I might also be willing to deal Gronk, if you're interested.

2 Injured bums, and Chris Givens. I could do a WR for WR downgrade from one of my starters if you can upgrade me somewhere else if you're interested.

That would be me. I'd be willing to consider offers for them for a decent RB. All 3 of my starting RB's have been rather pathetic =/

I wasn't at the premiere of the ending at Otakon but I heard a whole lot of complaining afterwards <_<

Also, I'd been complaining a lot the past few weeks about anime MCs outright REFUSING to accept or even acknowledge any girl's feelings for them. I'd said on several occasions "All I want is one show where someone confesses and the other party accepts immediately instead of feigning ignorance or punching him into the sky" and YnS came recommended again.

Can we disable the Can't Cut List? Brady has been a joke in fantasy all year and I can't even get rid of him.
-
If enough people agree to it (let's say 6), sure.
-
What's the point of the can't cut list anyway?
-
It's so people can't troll leagues they're losing in and drop all their best players
I guess it's also to prevent some newer people from dropping an otherwise excellent player after one or two poor games
Basically it has no real value in a private league where everyone knows each other.
-
No objections.
-
Danke.
daya and PX don't seem to mind either per IRC, but I guess I'll ask just in case someone doesn't want to play with waivers - anyone want him as a backup? I really don't need much except a backup RB for this week.

Keep the list for another week :smug:

Related: Edible, I'll throw Vereen at you for Brady if the trading deadline is after Week 10.

They actually removed Brady from the can't cut list. Turns out I had room on the roster for him for now (barely), but I'll take any trade offers anyway.

>_> I'm not sure I think Dalton is worth White straight-up. How available is Bernard?
-
(Obviously I'd throw extra stuff in on my end to get Bernard involved)
-
>_> I'm not sure I think Dalton is worth White straight-up. How available is Bernard?
White broke 5 points once this year before getting sidelined, and has to deal with Seattle D this week as the only good receiver on the Falcons, and Revis the week after. That leaves 4 weeks of useful production on a bad Falcons team that still has Gonzales playing well. Dalton's shown throughout this year that he's playing better than RG3, and you'll be getting double points for his TD passes to Green.
Lacy for Bernard. If we're talking big trades I'd rather discuss Bryant.
-
You want me to trade a bellcow back that's had his bye week for a guy with an advantage in a time share that hasn't?
That aside, I value having White available as a flex option over the 2.5 extra points Dalton would give me over RG3, and I'm not about to trade the league leader a WR2 for a guy he is literally never going to start again. Enjoy your Manningham, I guess.

In fairness, you still would have murderlated your game and I still would have lost.

Wilson or Foles, can't decide >_>
Both are currently doing well, playing against terrible teams, and are at home.

Drew Brees, now is your time. 28.5 is the distance.

Exciting game tonight!
If Kilga wins, the playoffs will be Vic/Arashi/Soul/Edible/Link/Kilga.
If Kilga loses, he can still get in if yuyukos loses.
If yuyukos wins and Kilga loses, yuyukos will get in due to higher point totals.
I'm rooting for yuyukos to win so I can get 2nd seed over Soul. >_> <_< GO DREW BREES

Great. In a game of New Orleans vs. Seadderall, I'm stuck rooting against a shootout.
-
So far, not looking so good. :ohdear:
-
Good grief. I don't need more grey hair.
-
A hearty congratulations to my fellow finalists.
In first place we have Vic Viper's Misaki Nekoarcs, a powerhouse combination of luck and skill that crushes opponents with the elite combination of Peyton Manning and Jamaal Charles (and a bunch of other scrubs).
In second place is Soul Devour's Casual Touhou Fans, the highly adaptive team centerpieced by LeSean McCoy, Rob Gronkowski, and a revived Larry Fitzgerald. Strong rotational choices helped him to a 9-4 record.
Coming in third is Edible's BUDDHISM STRONG, who for a second year running is the STRONGEST team with the highest overall points in the league. BUDDHISM STRONG is nigh unbeatable with Tom "About time you showed up" Brady, Jordy "pls come back rodgers" Nelson, Wes "Is it my turn yet?" Welker, Josh "Holy Fucking Shit" Gordon, Reggie "Stop stealing my TDs, Joique" Bush, Knowshon "CAN'T STOP CRYING BUCKETS OF TEARS" Moreno, Jimmy "Every other Saints receiver is awful" Graham, Ben "Thanks Kilga" Tate, Percy "Am I even playing this year?" Harvin, Lamar "Waiver Wire Bait" Miller, Kenny "See previous comment about Saints receivers" Stills, Jay "Yep, still injured" Cutler, Jarrett "Gonna get dropped like hot garbage if Rodgers ain't back" Boykin, Adam "Hall of Fame Lock" Vinatieri, and ... uh, buffalo's defense I guess.
Fourth place is Arashi's mighty Ohtori Phoenixes, who will Rinbu the fuck out of your Revolution with the deadliest WRs in the league: Antonio Brown, TY Hilton, Anquan Boldin, and Megatron. Tony Romo and two solid RBs make this student council squad the second-strongest overall.
LOL KILGA GOT FIFTH PLACE is Kilgamayan's taoism strongHail Renko, whose best player is RG3 :getdown: ... oh uh and the other best WR corps in the league by a mile. And Shane Vereen.
And the comeback story of the year, Link's Pikapika Pikarin has managed to sneak into the sixth and final playoff slot. The biggest waiver wire hawk by a mile, Link has turned his team from a pile of mediocrity to a bastion of strength focused around Cam Newton, Matt Forte, and Vincent Jackson.
May the best (read: my) team win!
-
I'm really hoping Green Bay decides it can make the playoffs at 9-6-1 and throws Rodgers back out there. Otherwise Lacy is gonna be poison for the rest of the year and I'm left giving serious consideration to playing Steven Jackson again. :ohdear:
-

I suspect Rodgers will insist on playing regardless of their playoff chances once he's healthy. That said, they're supposedly going to tell us in a matter of minutes (the press conference with Mike McCarthy starts at 3:15)
As the owner of the Packers' WR1 and WR2, I also hope he comes back because otherwise I'm probably fucked playoffs-wise.
Edit: Side note. Kilga, do the non-playoff team rosters autolock in this league?
Edit 2: The answer to the Rodgers question was a resounding "maybe". Thanks, McCarthy <_<
-
I honestly don't remember. I'll check when I get home if I don't fall asleep first.

Looking like Matt Flynn will play again this week. fff :|

I think it's hilarious how I made 58 roster moves... How did I do that????
-
Question, are seeding match-ups in FF playoffs the same as the NFL? 1st seed plays lowest numbered seed remaining and 2nd plays highest numbered seed remaining? Or is it just the way it looks on the page?
Also omg, I might actually have a somewhat playable RB2 again. It only took like 6 weeks to find one!

NOT COMPLAINING

Well this blows.
Glad I picked up Pitta beforehand though...although there's no way he can replace Gronk...
Although, now I might be able to safely play Joique Bell...that's a plus.
-
Welker's probably done for the regular season with a concussion.
Naturally, Bernard Pollard did it.
-
Even if you PLAY on the Patriots at one point in your life, Bernard Pollard will kill you for it.
What a scary man.
-
So yeah, that week certainly had its toll. Welker, Gronkowski, and Adrian Peterson are all out for the year (or so).
-
Denver's a Julius Thomas injury away from being what they were last year. This year's AFC playoffs are going to be more interesting than people think.

Welker's probably done for the regular season with a concussion.

I don't like to trash talk sooo...
Good luck to you Edible, may the better team win.

I like how 289/2TD/1INT is a bad game for Manning but would be a great game for quite a few qbs in the league.
-
I thought his 30-point projection was an underestimate going into that game. San Diego's pass D has been shit all year. I'll gladly trade an underwhelming Julius Thomas day for one of Manning's worst fantasy games of the year.
-
Ugh, I hate starting the wrong guy in fantasy

Shut your pie hole, mr. Jamaal Charles has 4 TDs already <_<
-
Yeah but I started Rainey over Gio and Kilga's kicker already has 17 stupid points.
-
Shut your pie hole, mr. Jamaal Charles has 5 TDs already <_<
jesus christ

What's the record in one game?
-
Fuck you Kilga. Ugh
-
Dennis Pitta vs Reggie Bush.
Snap count vs questionable injury.
2.28 point difference.
My body...my body is ready.
-
Oh god ;_;

PLAYOFF FOOTBALL, HELL YEAH
SUPERHEAVYWEIGHT BOUT GOING ON UP IN HERE
-
Welterweight bout going on up over here >_> <_<
-
Packers got a gift today!
(http://houseofsixten.com/stealth/cirno/romo2.jpg)
That's two Cirno Romos this season. Will we see another before the playoffs?
-
I'm going to lose because I decided to break up the best RB corps in the league. Sigh.
Fucking Dez Bryant for the second year in a row...
-
I hate my football life
-
What do you know. Take AJ Green out of the game and the Bengals are bad. <_<
On to Monday Night Football, where Dennis Pitta will face off against Reggie Bush to determine who makes the finals and who, uh, plays Kilga for third!
-
Not enough of a comeback from AJ Green.
Vic, your team has to be destined to win this year. You have Peyton and Charles and you even got to play TSO twice.
-
[00:03:58] <Reisen-Udongein-Outaba> This kind of Patriots loss + this kind of fantasy loss in one day is hard to deal with ._.
-
I was actually so convinced that I was going to lose that I watched Saki S2 instead of the game/the scoring. Team of Destiny. Also:
KILGA I'M GOING TO BEAT YOU THIS YEAR! JUST YOU WATCH!!!
Well said Six Month Ago Me.
-
Fun fact: If Vic had grabbed Roddy White from free agency way back and played him instead of presu,ably Amendola (forcing me to start Cruz), I would have won.
I saved you from yourself. You're welcome. :C

You and everyone else. It seems like every trade I declined ended with the other player getting hurt/in trouble (Blackmon).
Also, Soul Devour is one of my only losses this year, but I'd still rather face him. Go Pitta!

Rodgers is back with a vengeance next week, you had best hope you're not playing me and my Every Packers Receiver Team

Yeah but the Denver Peyton Mannings are playing the Houston Dumpster Fires
-
Psh that's only like 50 points, you'll need more than that bucko
-
huhuhuhu

Grats on winning Edible. I'd be mad but...right now I'm so happy that A) Justin Tucker is a BEAST and B) the dream for the AFC North Title is alive and well!

Justin "God Damn" Tucker
2good

EDIBLE YOU'RE GOING DOWN! PREPARE YOURSELF!

Attn: Aaron Rodgers
please come back
please
come back
-
Saints waived my terrible kicker, hooray.
Now I need a new kicker, so many choices :ohdear:
-
You can take the one I dropped.
(Edit: I was using Hartley for a while in my pay league, dropped him for Steve Hauschka last week and he got me like 18 points)
-
*dumps entire bench and picks up kickers*
-
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Packers don't expect Aaron Rodgers (collarbone) to play this week unless "something significantly changes with the doctor."

Did I mention that Peyton is playing the Texans yet? Because lel

I hope literally all of his passes go to andre caldwell and moreno :|

He's going to break Tom Brady and Drew Brees' records
-
Well, my team has suffered heavy casualties and is presently being held together with waiver wire duct tape. Nevertheless, tomorrow is the day of reckoning.

Now imagine going into every single game thinking that and you'll understand my season. btw I never got a WR1 so maybe that's the secret
-
Oh my god why is this happening
-
Of the 3 WR I was considering, I started the one that didn't put up 9.60 points. fml
EDIT oh you too edible lol
-
Steeler's only hope of playoffs requires a 5 way tie at 8-8 that somehow gets them the lead. What?

[20:35:12] <Reisen-Udongein-Inaba> >mfw I would have been the league champion if AJ Green didn't drop that late 4th quarter ball last week

No problem!

This was the right decision. New season hype yeahhh :V. Ugly Bears offense booooo.

FIELD GOALS!

FUCKING UGH
-
Go Falcons >:D

I hate you edible
-
Barring a miracle stat correction, congratulations Vic :toot:.
-
Matty Ice summarized their season with that pick6
-
GG Edible, you were a worthy opponent for the finals.
-
An appropriately close game for the finals. Congrats, Vic!
-
Can we now say that Peyton Manning just single-handedly won the fantasy league? :V
What the fuck.
The stars and planets aligned themselves, Norv Turner sacrificed his left nut, and Putin killed a dog to give the Chargers a chance, and they needed overtime to beat the Chief's bench. Go Chargers :toot:
-
Poor Arashi. Everything was working out for the Steelers and then the KC reserves cocked it up.
-
The heads, they are a-rollin'.
Chudzinski's gone from the Browns (why?), Frazier's gone from the Vikings (no surprise), Shanahan's gone from the RG3s (also no surprise).
-
> stupid personnel decision
> why
> browns
You answered your own question.
-
Browns or Raiders which is the worst franchise in the NFL?
I vote Raiders
-
I've got to go with the Browns here, on the basis of at least the Raiders have won the Superb Owl in the post-merger era.

The heads, they are a-rollin'.
Chudzinski's gone from the Browns (why?), Frazier's gone from the Vikings (no surprise), Shanahan's gone from the RG3s (also no surprise).
+ Greg Schiano (and the rest of the Bucs front office), + Jim Schwartz (no surprise part three)
-
Anyone who thought Schiano was going to stick around was woefully deluded.
-
A Schiano man wouldn't have let himself get fired.
-
Hey I care that I won fantasy! I care even more that I did it with only 2 good players and a shitload of adhesives.
I really hope Lovie Smith resurfaces somewhere this year. I'm also still unsure how I feel about Ron Rivera continuing to be our coach next year. He's been great for our defense, but offense? He decided to YOLO and go for it on 4th and short more often all the time when he was afraid of getting fired and it just happened to work.
BUT PLAYOFFS! FIRST ROUND BYE! STEVE SMITH INJURED BUT WHO CARES!? GO PANTHERS!
-
At least I got to the playoffs this year with my Best Team In The League?*
*by points scored
How bad is Smith's injury?
-
How bad is Smith's injury?
Sprained PCL, so they say he may be able to play in the divisional round due to 2 weeks rest. Otherwise it's Ginn/LaFell/Olsen/Hixon (get well soon Steve ;_;)
-
This might be the best Conference Championship Weekend in history. We have two of the greatest QBs in history carrying their M*A*S*H unit teams this far in what could be the final meeting between the two on one side, and a hatred-laced old school slugfest on the other.
-
If Ravens/Niners was Utsuho vs. Nazrin, what's Seahawks/Broncos?
-
Whichever 2hu is about getting high.
-
pot bowl 2014
-
So, Kyoko (young, noisy, Carroll) as the Seahawks; Ran (old, intelligent, Fox) as the Broncos. Anyone have a better idea? (I'm going to make a picture starting next weekend.)
-
pot bowl 2014
Forget that the Royal Rumble
-
Since this is the footbaw thread: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW4J-RiCZ2Q
-
Can't motivate myself to draw a picture for the Super Bowl. Don't particularly care about either team, or about any Toho character comparisons with either team.
That said, I predict the Seahawks will destroy the Broncos, and I will feel bad for Peyton Manning for approximately 15 minutes.
-
I kinda hope Manning drops 50 on the Hawks, gets a ring, then retires. But there's basically no way that happens, so :v
-
Pregame Show. (http://www.sbnation.com/2014/1/30/5351052/breaking-madden-super-bowl-broncos-seahawks)

I kinda hope Manning drops 50 on the Hawks, gets a ring, then retires.
I really hope this happens because it will all but guarantee the Patriots will be in the next three Super Bowls after this one.
-
I'd like the Broncos to win, but my indifference is the same as Sixten's.
Tails, Broncos straight up, and Under 48 are my bets for today.
-
lol.
-
lol.
-
lol.
-
So, I'm not really watching the game, but I went by a TV that was showing it just after halftime, and apparently the Broncos got a touchdown from the kickoff? What the hell?
Also this is required listening for the thread. (http://olremix.org/remixes/195)

That was a deflating Super Bowl.
-
That went more or less exactly as I expected. And now I'm alone in my room in Seattle, wearing my Packers jacket, listening to the wild cheering and honking of car horns as the streets outside fill with Seahawks fans.
I think Peyton Manning did reasonably well. His interceptions were about 10% Bad Decision and 90% Holy Crap That Seahawks Defense. He lost to a much better team, and he's still an all-time great even if he never gets another ring. The Seahawks were on fire, and I don't think even Aaron Rodgers could have beaten them tonight.
And that concludes my 15 minutes of feeling sorry for Peyton Manning. I'll buy a gift for my project manager at work tomorrow (he's from Denver). Now I'll feel sorry for my Packers as well as the Bears who might never get to another Super Bowl for the entire duration of the Russell Wilson And Colin Kaepernick Era.
I did draw a picture while watching the game, but it had nothing to do with the game.

Reddyne, Tojicakes and I were at Chateau d' Gandalph/Murein for the game. We switched back to playing Perfect Dark on XBLA right after the Jermaine Kearse five-Bronco-defenders-think-tackling-is-overrated TD about three game minutes before the end of the third quarter. It was definitely the right decision.
-
I guess the entire Seahawks team went into Beast Mode today. That was a beating. I think that's was a third largest blowout in SB history.
Anyone else thought Kearse got spinning lessons from Hina on that TD?
