I haven't did FF in at least 10 years. I'd be in for fun, just to get back into it again.

I would join a free league. Would prefer auction draft and yahoo or ESPN platform. But as long as it's free I'd be in.

You might need to post in the main lounge, this forum doesn't get much attention.

Added you both! Assuming we hit 10+ I’ll send a PM to coordinate draft times. Also not a bad idea to post in the main lounge if we are short in a few weeks. Fortunately, we have a few weeks so a slow trickle is okay.

Also Noted your preferences Tye, will take it in conjunction with any additional feedback!

I'm in.

I'd be interested.

This is no half ass league burt.

HEY!!! It was a required surgery, that left me half assed!!! They removed a cyst the size of a dinner plate!! You really shouldn't give me crap about that. That's just mean!!

I'm in if there's room!

Added you to the list!

Count me down if room. I'd also like to have a $5 or $10 ante to make it interesting.

Not looking for FanDuel part II just a little incentive.

Added!

Consider me in. I am a FF junkie. And i prefer the NFL fantasy app or Yahoo, if its up for a vote. Just because I already use those platforms.

Added.

Got space for 2-4 more.

I’m down to join. Think an auction league would be cool.

Sure! Sounds like fun!!

I'm going to Fantasy Football you guys so hard.

Added x2

2 spots left if there’s additional interest… but we can roll with 10 if needed (real men don’t FF with less than 10).

I’d be cautious to force an auction style on the group as it’s a lot less friendly to the casual FF fan (was my intention for this league). Anyone whose done one before has an advantage over those who haven’t. But I’m not opposed to organizing a second league that will have an auction style draft and allowing cross registration.

Thoughts? Anyone other than myself, Tye, and Ashhole interested in auction draft if there was a second league?

I was never a fan of auction drafts, to be honest, but I do like them alot more than keeper leagues. If there ends up interest in doing it for a 2nd league, I'd do it but I'd prefer not for the primary.

Ive only done auction style once, very poorly i might add. I'd also be down for a second league to try it out.

I agree that auction drafts aren't easy the first few times. That's why I try one every year with randoms on espn in case I ever have to do one with my pay league. But even with all that practice I never immediately step away from one without several regrets.

Also, regarding a fee. I suggest that anybody that wants to buy in can and anybody that doesn't want to isn't eligible to win the cash. It would go to the highest finisher who paid in. And despite what I said earlier about me being in as long as it's free, I'd probably throw down $5-10 to play.

And yahoo is the best fantasy football platform in my opinion. Especially on a computer (the apps are all pretty even). Although tbh, I haven't used the nfl platform in several years.

Alright, made a few executive decisions…

This league:

• Will be hosted on Yahoo (I will set it up later today and send invites)
• Will be a Standard/snake draft
• Will be free - intending for it to be casual and don’t think small cash buy in will work well if only half the group pays in. Best bet to incentivize participation is massive amounts trash talk including call outs on CP for individuals not setting their roster. If this is a success and we want to renew the league next year, anyone who quits managing their team mid season will not be welcome back.

I also just created a second thread for a second league that will be an auction draft format. I added those who expressed interest in this thread to the sign up. Anyone else is welcome to participate in both leagues if interested.

Invites sent via PM - let me know if the links aren’t working.

Ignore the draft date for the time being, it is just a hold until we figure out what works best for everyone.

Still have room for up to 2 more teams if anyone else is interested in joining.

The Flamin aids dumpsters are ready for war!

Got 7/10 teams officially signed up with the league - if any of the other 3 have issues let me know. You should have a join link in your PMs. If you don’t join in the next week or two, I may re-open your spots to ensure we have a full league before we need to draft.

Also - still have up to 2 spots currently open if anyone else wishes to join.

Added confirmed teams into my OP. Not sure who is the owner of “D’s Dandy Team” to put it with a name. Let me know and I’ll add you to the confirmed list.

(Edited out first name to protect identity)

I wasnt sure if we were just using our user names here. If everyone is doing that i am not married to The Flamin Aids Dumpsters.

Don't think it matters! Mine was coincidental. The KFF look forward to kicking FAD's ass.

Last I checked, Still only at 7 teams officially signed up in Yahoo. Willing to give it another 7-10 days to allow for folks who may be on summer vacations / busy with work to join.

Update: One of you Ashholes had to back out (not going to name any names…) so we are back to 9. I’ll give it a few more days then post on the main board looking for 3 more teams.

Good news: now have 8 teams registered

Bad news: After the newest team has “otter” in the name, I’m now confused on who owns 3 of the teams because I thought otter was the second one signed up (after me). Doesn’t ultimately matter if we don’t know whose who… I just don’t know who to pester as the only person who hasn’t signed up.

Thats my team. No idea who boomers are.

Ill join if there is room..

Invite sent.

Still got space for 2

Cables’ AIDS Tree Fire reporting for duty. May tweek my name since someone is infringing on my obviously original name…..

You trying to fight old man? (assuming that was aimed at me)

Ha ha old man!! Bring it on, junior!!

FTR idk how old you are im 31, but youve been on here 5 years longer than me so i assume everyone went through their chiefs vision quest at the same point in their life that i did.

You just became my second favorite poster on here. Well played, Sir. I’ll be 46 later this year. Well done, detective. :)

Who is your first favorite?

Still got room for 2 more if there is additional interest. If not, we can roll with 10 and perhaps spice things up by adding an extra flex or something to account for the smaller league.

Got an extra team, trying to figure out who owns it (think it may be Ashhole who backed out). Once that resolves, I think we will lock in at 10 teams since no one else has asked to join. Will give it another 48 hours before officially locking it down.

Two questions for the group:

#1) Assuming only 10 teams - should we add an extra flex position to spice things up and offset the smaller number of teams?

#2) Draft is currently set for 2pm CT Saturday August 21st. Does that not work for anyone? I’m fairly flexible on the 14th/15th and 21st/22nd.

I like the extra flex idea, just for something different. And i'm flexible as far as drafting goes.

Me, of course......

Well that makes sense.

ROFLROFLROFL

Bring it on, ****Sticks!!!!

This is how we talk smack, no?

How am I supposed to be drunk enough to fantasy draft at 10 in the morning?

I am here for the smack talk and 10 am drinking.

Don’t stop from the day before?

Proof that I was drunk when making that last post: I did the “math” behind converting the time across time zones wrong.

Draft is currently set for 12 noon AZ (currently PT) which is 2pm CT (and not 10am… I went the wrong way).

2pm good for a buzz? Want to go later? Target is having as many folks live as possible.

I mean… My wife and I did have fun with my ****stick last night. Sounds more like a compliment. :D

I actually think I'm on vacation the 21st. I'll double check but I'm pretty sure. If I have to auto draft, so be it. I'm the king of the waiver wire anyway.

No magic to the 21st/22nd...

I can do the 14th/15th or the 28/29th or even a week night.

There always going to be a few who don't show up... But I'm more than happy to adjust because someone knows they can't make it.

I can start phase one of the ass kicking when ever its good for you ladies.

definitely go pm on a saturday

Gosh....now I feel the pressure......

Lol

You’re dead to me.

Dead.

My team of all stars is going to beat you guys so hard that youll wish you never signed up for a league where i have a team of super stars!

so....you're having fantasies about a fantasy league? That may just be cheating...or very warped and twisted.....

Have you ever seen the show the league?

No.... So I assume I am missing a creative reference?

Regardless of the reference - you’ve got homework. The league is must watch TV for any football / fantasy fan. Think you can stream it on Hulu or Amazon Prime currently.

May or may not be appropriate/enjoyable for your significant other.

Alright, since I’m not getting much feedback on alternative draft times… let me know your preference between the three options below

Option 1: Saturday August 21st @ 2pm CT (current place hold)
Option 2: Saturday August 28th @ 8pm CT (let’s Tye build a nice buzz to make poor decisions)
Option 3: Thursday September 2nd @ 8pm CT (after final cuts & initial post pre-season signings)

I think we should avoid Labor Day weekend (Sept. 3-6) due to the potential for travel and the first game is on the 9th. Doesn’t leave a lot of good options to draft after final cuts (Aug 31st), but I kinda like drafting before cuts/signings as it adds another layer of strategy/risk.

I couldn't make it very far into the show. Maybe I should try again but the first couple episodes didn't grab me.

This is me, with a roster I don’t yet have, except I’m a male.

I vote option 2. I still haven't confirmed my vacation but I'm pretty sure I'm out of pocket the 21st.

The first few are character development. It’s stupid humor but a go to for me.

I definitely don't mind stupid humor.

Tough call. It definitely maintains the same brand of dumb/slapstick comedy throughout. If you don’t find that style humorous, it probably won’t get better in your book. The situational humor around fantasy football is relatable to anyone whose ever played before - and that stays a central theme throughout.

That said, like any show, the writing and acting definitely improve as the series goes along. Lots of cameos with NFL players as the series progresses too which adds some entertainment. I’d say try watching the first 1-1.5 seasons again… but if it doesn’t pull you in, abort again.

2 or 3 are preferred but i can work with any of it. Thanks for putting up with the headache Kellerfox. As a league manager i know it can be a PITA getting people on the same page.

Option 2: Saturday August 28th @ 8pm CT

I’m good with whatever time Helen Keller fox decides. LETS DO THIS!!

Alright, switching draft time to Option 2: Saturday August 28th @ 8pm CT

Sounds good. Thanks.

2 is good :)
