Damn I totally missed this,I'M IN!

Please though if at all possible move the date I already have 2 local drafts that weekend.

Alrighty. Start throwing dates out there that will work. We'll nail something down.

Weekdays or weekends work better? What time zone is everyone in? Everning are about the only option.

So **** espn must be detoxing i take it?

PST over here.

Weeknight evenings work for me,my weekends are crazy from now till Labor Day

What times work best for you?

I'll PM you my calendar.

Obviously it's going to be on the weekends and anywhere from early afternoon to late afternoon.

LMAO

Hootie's in.

:rolleyes:

I'll be playing golf on the 20th of July. Otherwise, I'm good unless something comes up.

Yeah, I'm **** ESPN. What's going here? We're kicking this thing up again?

Yeah Labor Day weekend isn't the best for me.

Yeah. Imma send you a trade request.

So is hootie out or what fellas? He still wants in but it sounds like you guys don't want him.

Up to the group.

I can make 2 Sundays work the 19th of August or the 26th

Moved it to August 26th at 8:00 ET. Just trying to claim a spot before they're all gone.

August 26th at 8 is cool with me.

If he promises not to bitch and shows up fo realz to the auction, I'd like to have him around.

Also, no, we're not starting two QBs. Not in a 12 team league. That's dumb.

I prefer to draft after all the preseason games are done, but the date works for me, yes. I'm available.

This

I'll send my vote in the morning... central time.

agreed

I'm cool with it as long as he drafts after me. Also, he needs to respond to my trade request.

I'm unfamiliar with the history here. Why is Omaha a bitch?

Genetics I'm guessing.

Alright. I'll put hootie back to "perhaps".

Also, I'm liking this date since I've got some yes's. Just need to hear from the rest of you.

Next I will be requesting new team names, or current team names if you wish to keep it. We should probably keep the same team name all year instead of changing in the middle of the season (which I'm guilty of as well). It was hard to know what team belonged to who in case you want to try to do some trading.

And what's everyone's opinions on the 6 pts per touchdown pass? That still good with you?

I'm working on my team logo. You ****ers are going to love this thing.

Good.

I edited the 2 divisions. I split them up according to how they finished last year. 1st to NFC, 2nd to AFC, 3rd to NFC and so on.

I'm in for now, and good with the draft date.

Oh, and I'm good with Hootie sticking around assuming he doesn't bitch about the format and actually takes the draft seriously.

Hell, I'm fine with Flopnuts coming back if the issues from last year are behind him.

I'd send a PM to Flopnuts and see if he wants to play this year.

I'm happy with the draft date.

You ****ers. I already deleted him.

I can add him back. Just let me know what you want to do.


We're only waiting on him now. If he's in, we're pretty much set to do this shit.

And since I've got so many yes's, I'm going to lock the draft date down so we can move on.

Alrighty. Looks like the teams are the same as last year. Hopefully everyone makes the draft and keeps up with their rosters.

I need new team names. If you are keeping it the same or changing it, let me know either way. If you change it, you're stuck with it for the whole year. It was a pain in the ass when everyone, including me, kept changing their damn names last year.

You should probably sticky this thread, and perhaps subscribe to it as well.

Omaha has been banned from this thread to eliminate confusion.

TD's-N-Beer and please no team name changes after the season starts.

I changed it on our ESPN page but I'm the Mighty Quinns.

So, whatever happened with this?

you fellas need an extra?

i'll be your huckleberry!

We got everyone signed up again, and we're drafting on the date specified in the OP.

Looks like the entire cast from last year is returning, and I heard they've already pitched in a few hundred bucks to buy me a real trophy this year after i win this bitch.

I haven't decided on a team name yet, but I have it narrowed down to these choices:

Return to Cassel Checkdownenstein
Fighting First-round Five-techs
Sand Huskies
Copper's Crew
Muscle Impregnators
Rape Is Funny

I might come up with something different too.

Sand Huskies is funny but i don't believe you came up with that.

Bad news.

I'm going to be unavailable for the draft. I'm going to be on a flight home. Doubt I can trust in-flight WiFi, even if they have it available.

But I don't want to completely give up my spot. Here's what I'd like to do:

I will remain owner of Terms of Enrampagement. I will be "hiring" a General Manager to oversee the draft and the week-to-week operation of the team. As owner, I may sometimes make lineup or acquisition suggestions. If said GM is successful, I may extend their contract for the following season.

If they are not, their ass is going to get fired.

I'm cheaper than Clark Hunt, so don't expect any pay. But if you'd like the job, please post a small letter of interest along with a FF resume. Interviews will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.

If you know anyone that may be interested, please refer them to this post/thread.

Thank you.

In.

Reading comprehension fail.

:hmmm:

Who ever said that I wouldn't post said resume later?

Here's the active Yahoo! account that I have been using for fantasy sports:

http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/x.../fantasy-1.jpg

Yes, I realize that it isn't great. One of those leagues that I finished last in was a keeper, so I tanked for the first overall pick due to a less than stellar team.

Essentially, I am the Martin Hurney of fantasy football.

Have you ever taken part in an auction draft?

Yes.

Please PM me your typical auction strategy.

Ex: Blow the budget with high end talent, and fill in with low-dollar players - stay balanced with a lot of mid-round type talent - spend at certain positions but not others.

Tell me how you would attack the draft.

Again, do this via PM.

Looks like Rams Fan is going to get the job.

I'd also like to apply for the job.


2011 Fantasy Leagues

1 out of 12
1 out of 12
1 out of 8
1st Survivor League
1st out of 16
1st out of 10
CP league
1st out of 8,907

There's my resume. My auction strategy is to buy all the best players after everyone else has spent their money on the "Big name" losers.

Guess I gotta decide on a team name for this season. Archer-centric, of course.

Choices:


My Pet Ocelot

Germany - The Alabama of Europe

Chasing You All Rapey

Dick Sledge

"M" As In "Mancy"

That strategy was great 5 years ago when auctions were still pretty rare. That's the strategy everyone uses now, and the smart owners will get the best players for a steal because everyone is being too conservative.

There is no real strategy for an auction, and that's why it's the best draft format. You can go into it with a certain mindset, but be forced to do something completely different. It separates the men from the boys.

Please summarize your team-building philosophy using as many cliches and buzzwords as possible. Remember to use plenty of obvious qualities that account for all options and strategies (Ex: "In an auction draft, I look for good, solid, reliable players who TDs and get yards, but I'm also willing to see around the corners and pick players who maybe are not obvious choices. Remember, it's about finding the right corps of guys")

Also, if you can, please post your relationship to Bill Parcells in under 3 degrees.

I hear ya. I filled an entire auction team last year for $30.

It's all about saving team money.

I don't even remember. The last couple of years have been a drunken haze. I didn't do it. ;)

And I'm the asshole owner of the year, firing his GM after a week.

I was able to change my flight and can make the draft.

Oh...

For now, I've decided to change my team name to "Chasing You All Rapey".

I'll make a final decision before the draft.

I became S.S. Date Rape for the playoffs last year and with some success, so we're going to go that route.

Unless I start losing, in which case !@#$ you guys, I'm changing my name. That's just how I roll...

I've changed my team name.

It's now "Steve McNair's Shotgun Offense".

Damn I don't come here much, but I'd like to join if there's an open spot.


Good luck fellas

This still happening? If so, Hulk, I need you to PM me the invite, please.

You don't need an invite. Just go to espn and click on the league page. It'll take you there.

http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/leagueo...&seasonId=2012

The name has been decided.

I'm Fighting 1st Round 5-techs

****ing ESPN won't let me spell out the numbers so I can illustrate the alliteration.

I'm gonna go with 1st Round Fighting 5-Techs.

you fellas need another?
let me know.
thanks in advance?

We're full up. You can take over for flopnuts in week 2 after he stops watching his team though.

Hootie is sticking with Team Damon Huard, for some reason.

I'm going with Wylie Coyote.

Unless my travel plans get moved up due to this stupid Hurricane I'll still be there Sunday night.

Team name: DaKCMan AP is Still Awesome.

Have you guys been doing your mock drafts on ESPN? Crazy values in later rounds these days.

Due to Isaac I will be departing on my trip 1 day earlier, meaning I will be somewhere over the Atlantic during the draft. Th being an auction style, with attending the draft key, I will offer up my spot to someone else.

I already checked and my flight will not have wireless available for purchase. :cuss:

PM Rams Fan and see if he'll draft for your team.

Inspiration struck at the last minute.

My new team name is Legitimate Rape

LMAO

I just mentioned to a friend last night at another draft that this would be a great name.

I'll take DaKCMan's spot if it's okay, or I will draft for his team. One of the two.
