Yahoo Fantasy Football Plus 2008

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Im setting up the Fanatsy Football Plus League for 2008. I'll send out invitations shortly.

[TheKilo]

Innnnnn

[YanksHater213]

hoping i get an invite so i can defend my title

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Yahoo is screwed up. It won't let me select on-line draft and draft date. Also won't let me pay for league. The site is probably being bombed.

[schillingouttheks]

:lol: SFOC, can I get your address again so I can reimburse you for the PLUS league fees?

[Gom]

I know absolutely nothing about football. However, I want to play so I can beat the majority of you.

[ORS]

In.

EDIT: And with the invite, please send me your address as well. I should probably put it in my address book since we do this twice a year, but I'm bad about that stuff. I sowwy.

[Coco's Disciples]

I'd love an invite if theres room.

[mtbykr]

Last year was great, love to play again! Thanks for setting it up SFOC

[CrespoBlows]

Love to be in. I started 0-4, and was one game away from the playoffs.

[dreilly]

I still want to play too.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Okay, here's the status. Yahoo is having problems today. It doesn't want to allow the live draft option. So I figured no problem I'll register the league and change the draft to Live afterwards. But there was/is another problem. Yahoo won't process payment for the Plus league. So what I did was register the league as a regular league and I'll upgrade it as soon as Yahoo gets straightened out. Remember you are currently going to join the "regular league", not the Plus league. I'll post when I have changed it. I'll be sending out invitations with my address shortly. Dues will be $ 25 and will be applied towards a cash prize(s). If you don't pay, you can still play, you just can't will the proze(s). Any questions post or PM me.

[Coco's Disciples]

I am CoDisc in the league, looking forward to it.

[dreilly]

Team name: Three and Out.

Thanks for the invite!

[Gom]

SFOC, send me the invite baby!

[YanksHater213]

no invite? :(

[Gom]

None for me either. Still waiting....

[msubulldogs21]

The Bulldogs are IN.

[The Dustball]

If there is still room, I would love to join. I love fantasy football.

[YanksHater213]

afraid of the defending champion?

i'd love an invite if possible.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Upgrade is complete. We are now a Plus League. Those of you that haven't registered yet, remember it's now a Plus League.

Draft Time : Monday 25 th, 7:30 PM EDT

[Gom]

It just wouldn't be right without the defending champion.

[yeszir]

Please only join if you're actually going to be active. Just a friendly reminder. :thumbsup:

[Gom]

Please only join if you're actually going to be active. Just a friendly reminder. :thumbsup:
Whoa! No one told me of this little caveat! DAMN IT! LOL!

[Sox Fan on Cape]

i'd love an invite if possible.

Nope, the no-show from Fantasy Baseball.

[YanksHater213]

Nope, the no-show from Fantasy Baseball.

eh, no hard feelings, that's my problem... should have known better than to join a fantasy baseball league... never have i been able to keep up activity in one of those whether it be from computer problems or just disinterest in checking up on my team every day.

[schillingouttheks]

Team name: SUMOS

[The Prodigy]

Hey if there are any spots still open i would love to get an invite!! Thanks!!

[CrespoBlows]

If anyone did not get an invite, you can PM me. I am working with Yankshater to create a league. I am thinking of a small $20 entry fee, and at least twelve members.

PM if you are interested.

[TheKilo]

I have never played fantasy football, and probably can't name 50 football players. If any of you lose to me, you should kill yourselves. Especially dreilly.

I am willing to trade. Right now.

[dreilly]

Gom,

I will kick your ass in FF.

Want to bet? LOL

[Gom]

Gom,

I will kick your ass in FF.

Want to bet? LOL

What would be the stakes?

[dreilly]

You decide.

[Gom]

You're the one who proposed the bet. You set the stakes. Since you're going to lose anyways, only fair to let you set the stakes.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

26-6, I have sent a couple of PM's with no response. If you don't register by the end of today, I'll open up your slot to spomeone else.

[YanksHater213]

taking 26-6's spot, my name in the league is extremely self explanatory...

i look forward to defending my championship with honor and domination

only thing is, it wouldn't let me register for it under "plus" league... i tried it under "free" and it worked, despite what you said, SFOC, on the second page of this thread.

it also won't show up on "my leagues" under fantasy sports... maybe its just awkward because it's a transition from free to plus, or what not... if i signed up wrong, let me know ASAP so i can fix it.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

You're in. The League is full.

[26 to 6]

I just got the PM tonight...I apologize for the delay. Looks like my spot is filled anyway, my fault. Have fun with it guys.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Members, please check scoring and rules, to make sure everything is acceptable, or there is something that you would like adjusyed before we start.

[ORS]

I would be in favor of reducing TD pts to 4 points for all positions. It's a level playing field, and it reduces the impact of TD vultures who don't carry the load between the 20's. That's just me, though. If nobody wants to change it, I can live with the settings.

[dreilly]

Members, please check scoring and rules, to make sure everything is acceptable, or there is something that you would like adjusyed before we start.

Everything is fine by me.

FTR I'm good either way on this matter.

[The Dustball]

Everything is fine by me.

I second this.

[Gom]

Everything is fine by me.
Shut up dreilly.

[dreilly]

Go screw yourself Gom.

[The Dustball]

Ha I really hope I don't get the last pick. I just had a mock draft in Yahoo and if you are pick # 12, you get 2 picks in a row but then have to wait 22 more picks until its your turn again. Not cool.

[dreilly]

Ha I really hope I don't get the last pick. I just had a mock draft in Yahoo and if you are pick # 12, you get 2 picks in a row but then have to wait 22 more picks until its your turn again. Not cool.


I hope it isn't me either. Definitely not cool.

[Gom]

I like picking last/first. That way you can do some research during the draft. I have no idea who the first pick should be, lol. This is all so new to me, but I promise to trade like crazy.

[schillingouttheks]

Trading happens far less often in football than baseball, FTR.

[Gom]

No way dude...I'm trading. Fuck it. Everyone is available.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Ha I really hope I don't get the last pick. I just had a mock draft in Yahoo and if you are pick # 12, you get 2 picks in a row but then have to wait 22 more picks until its your turn again. Not cool.

So, let's say you have the first pick, then you have to wait 22 picks until your next pick. That's so much better. :o

[Sox Fan on Cape]

No way dude...I'm trading. Fuck it. Everyone is available.

I think I'll give the commish. veto power ( just for you Gom ).

[The Dustball]

So, let's say you have the first pick, then you have to wait 22 picks until your next pick. That's so much better. :o

:D I never said I wanted the first pick either. Being middle of the pack is where it's at. But at least if you get the first pick you are getting a stud player.

[mtbykr]

I believe last year we talkeded about having a scoring category for receptions....do people want this?

[Gom]

Yes. Add scoring for everything.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

No, there's enough receiver scoring.

[YanksHater213]

Maybe -1 for a dropped pass? That's the only thing I'd add.

[msubulldogs21]

Maybe -1 for a dropped pass? That's the only thing I'd add.

I wouldn't be in favor of a -1 for that, but that's just me. I like everything as it is now.

[msubulldogs21]

Ha I really hope I don't get the last pick. I just had a mock draft in Yahoo and if you are pick # 12, you get 2 picks in a row but then have to wait 22 more picks until its your turn again. Not cool.

Man, I had my draft in the other league that I'm in last night, and that's EXACTLY what happened to me. 12 team league and of course, I get pick #12. I think I got a pretty good team anyway though. I've always preferred to pick early or late, not get stuck in the middle. I like getting back to back picks.

[Coco's Disciples]

Draft tonight, don't forget.

[schillingouttheks]

Holy shit. Thank God for you.

[The Dustball]

I've been looking forward to this since last week. It gives me an excuse to skip work and not do my summer shit for school.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

As of Draft Day, the following have submitted their dues :

Talksox Name..................................Team Name

Sox Fan On Cape ( SFOC ) .................Moon Cussers
Hyrax (son of SFOC )..........................Brady's CC
Mtbykr............................................ .Average Joe's

[Coco's Disciples]

Totally forgot about the cash, I'm on it.

[schillingouttheks]

That makes two of us. I'll send it out by tomorrow at the latest.

[The Dustball]

Ha same with me. I'll send that out this week.

[YanksHater213]

fuck me in the ass i would have forgotten

i'm in the process of moving into school, but once i get there, dues will be sent.

[Gom]

I'll pass on the cash. Don't know enough about football.

[Coco's Disciples]

4th pick for me. Hopefully the first 3 picks aren't some permutation of LT, AP, and Westbrook, though that's likely.

[TheKilo]

#9 pick? Gay

[The Dustball]

7th pick for me. Good spot.

[TheKilo]

I'll kill the person who picks ARod, too.

[Coco's Disciples]

Stupidest question ever: Where's the type-box for the chat?

[The Dustball]

bottom right.

[TheKilo]

Bottom right

[Coco's Disciples]

I see the chat but I'm not seeing where to type things. Probably just me. Whatever.

[The Dustball]

That was a fun draft. Good luck everybody.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

It's been at least 15 minutes. What no Gom trade proposals ?

[TheKilo]

I gotta have some funds left from my SB win last year. Right? Right???

I'm kidding. I'll send shortly.

[Gom]

Everyone is available. The problem is, I don't know how to value the players. Someone send me a trade proposal, please? I won't be able to sleep tonight without making a trade.

[Gom]

Winslow or Gonzalez, my two TE...either one, your choice for a solid WR. First come, first serve.

[The Dustball]

I can't do it Gom. TJ is a constant producer, he's too valueable to part with.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

I can't do it Gom. TJ is a constant producer, he's too valueable to part with.

Why he hell would you trade TJ for a TE, not to mention you already have two TE's. I can't believe he even proposed that, I wonder how many people got e-mails or trade proposals.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Let me make something clear with regards to trades. If you make a Yahoo trade proposal involving one of your team's players, you can't make another trade proposal involving that player until the first proposal has been accepted ( and approved ) or rejected. Sending out multiple trade proposals involving the same player is not allowed. Violators will have trading privedges suspended.

[Coco's Disciples]

I'm willing to deal one of Reggie Bush, Rashard Mendenhall or Fred Taylor for a WR or TE of similar value, 1 for 1.

[TheKilo]

Rashard Mendenhall for Donald Lee?

[Gom]

I can't do it Gom. TJ is a constant producer, he's too valueable to part with.
Ok. I'm kinda learning how football players get judged. Sorry if I made a bad proposal. Not like offering an injured player or something. I check to see if my guys are injured first. Anyways, it's still out there. An All-Pro TE for a solid receiver. Anyone? Bueller?

[ORS]

Mendenhall is a tough one to call. He's a good looking rookie who is playing behind an established RB in Parker. How will that effect his touches? That's what makes it hard for someone to offer a player with a starting gig. Then again, Parker is more of a HR back, and I can see a bruiser like Rashard being a TD vulture at the goalline. But, don't know until you see it in real games, which won't happen for another week.

I'll think about it and maybe make an offer, but don't be surprised if it's less than you are thinking Coco.

Is this your rule or Yahoo's rule?

If it's Yahoo's rule, fine. However, I must say I disagree with this if it's yours. Look, I know baseball, and don't know a thing about football, but I think the whole thing is about activity. We had a couple of inactive owners in FB, and it was a real drag. I sent out many proposals and I admit, I've done it in baseball. It's kind of like a "first come, first serve" kind of deal.

SFOC, you shouldn't "discourage" activity. How many times have we sent trade proposals to people in FB and had them sit for a week or two with no response? I enjoy trading, don't know shit about football, and don't want you to spoil my fun.

I mean, we had 21 trades in FB, and I was involved in 13 of them. Take me out of it, and thats only 8 trades all year. For a league that had 1/3 of our members computer drafting, that is kind of low.

Gom, I simply pointed out that you can't send out multiple "Yahoo Official" trade proposals involving the same player. What iuf more than one person hits the accept button ? Are you seriously arguing for the right to trade the same player to more than one person ? You can send out as many propasals via PM's, e-mails, etc. as you want. How is this discouraging activity ? BTW, trades doesn't equal activity, it's merely a component.

BTW, trades doesn't equal activity, it's merely a component.
I'll tell you what happens in Yahoo Fantasy Baseball. If one trade is accepted, the other is automatically cancelled immediately. The odds that two people click accept on a trade at EXACTLY the same time.

I realize that trades are a part of it, but anything that restricts activity I'm against. I'm against limiting waiver wire moves, etc. Look, if you're in a league where everybody is active every day, that's great.

For example, ORS didn't make a lot of trades, but I believe he led the league in waiver wire moves. Therefore, he was one of the, if not the most, active owners in the league.

In fact, I think it's even better if you put out multiple offers for a player. That will make people check their emails if they do want to make a trade, knowing that the player may go to his opponent.

I respectfully disagree.

I'm willing to trade TE Gonzales or TE Winslow for a WR of comparable value. Any offers?

[ORS]

I don't see a problem with having multiple offers out. Like Gom said, the software cancels out the other offer once one is accepted. In other words, the first deal struck is the deal. I don't see how that is any different than talking to more than one person via PM, AIM, other form of media. In those forms, the first deal struck wins too.

Gom, I'm looking at your offer and I don't like the fit. I'm not going to outright reject it just yet, but if I do counter, expect something a little different.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

If the Yahoo software automatically cancels out other trades then fine. However, I'm pretty sure that it didn't in Fantasy Baseball. I thught I remembered a case that it didn't do it. Whatever.

[ORS]

I recall reading that it does, SFoC, but I have no experience in seeing it work. I'll check the FAQ and see I can find a link to the part I read.

[ORS]

It doesn't cancel them, it freezes them while they are pending approval. This way if the trade is vetoed, the other proposals are still good.


Additionally, players can only be involved in one pending transaction at a time. So, even if a player has been offered to a number of teams, when any one of the trades has been accepted, no other teams can accept a deal containing the same player.

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/football/rosters/football-36.html

[Sox Fan on Cape]

For example, ORS didn't make a lot of trades, but I believe he led the league in waiver wire moves. Therefore, he was one of the, if not the most, active owners in the league.

ORS made 3 trades and I made 2 . ORS made more waiver wire moves than I. So by your definition ORS was more active than I. You made considerably more trades than I, so that makes you more active ? Activity has to dom with managing your team.

[Gom]

I can tell you that it does cancel them out. Many times, I'd have the same player in multiple proposals, and I would tell both players that I have "player X" in two deals, and the first one to accept get's him.

As for who is more active SFOC, it's really splitting hairs between you, me, and ORS, and a lot of others. We had some dead weight, and we all know what I mean.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

It doesn't cancel them, it freezes them while they are pending approval. This way if the trade is vetoed, the other proposals are still good.



http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/football/rosters/football-36.html

Okay. That makes sense. What I had remembered was the status banner reading "a trade is pending between.... involving player X, yet I still had a trade proposal for the same player.

[ORS]

SFoC, my dues hit the mail today, let me know if they don't show up by the end of next week.

So, this isn't the only league I'm in. I'm doing two other Yahoo public leagues. Did I tell anyone how much I hate those? This one dude has like 4 WR (Colston, Welker, Coles, V. Jackson) and 6 RB (Jackson, Lynch, Taylor, Jones, Bush, K. Smith). So, he's a little light on the back-end of his WR corps and light on depth at a position requiring 3 to play each week. I happen to have a deep WR corps (Owens, Burress, Cotchery, Bowe, Meacham, Galloway), so I offer him Galloway for Kevin Smith. I figure that's a fair trade. He gets a solid producer at a position of weakness for him and he gives up an unproven rookie who will have to breakout like AP, which he isn't doing, to get some playing time on his roster. Predictably, he counters, because that's how these things go, but look at this shit.

Terrell Owens for Reggie Bush.

This shit just isn't fun with strangers.

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I love fantasy sports, so while the public leagues are frustrating, I do enjoy them, or, they at least give me a "fix" of more FFB.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

ORS funds arrived in today's mail. Thanks.

[msubulldogs21]

ORS funds arrived in today's mail. Thanks.

Sending mine off tomorrow... :thumbsup:

[The Dustball]

Mine are sent.

[The Dustball]

Wow. Losing 94-30 so far. Thank you T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Torry Holt for the combined 4 points.

EDIT: Making a mini-comeback. 102-60

[Coco's Disciples]

Up 56-18, thanks in large part to Drew Brees and Baltimore.

[msubulldogs21]

Leading 96-19. Come on Kilo, could you at least keep it within 70?

[ORS]

Rotoworld's blurbs should be taken with serious grains of salt. Fucking cinder block sized ones. I picked up Courtney Taylor when they predicted him to be the WR1 in Seattle while Engram and Branch are out with injury. 2 catches, 17 yds. They have Ginn Jr as the WR1 too. Their combined 2 pts, along with Cooley's goose egg are hurting this week.

[MDF3530]

My fantasy team is going to suck big time if Brady misses any prolonged stretch of time. My backup QB is Vince Young.

[Coco's Disciples]

Crap, Reggie Bush got 22 points and I sat him. I'm still leading though.

[TheKilo]

Leading 96-19. Come on Kilo, could you at least keep it within 70?

Dude, not my fault Willie Parker decided to go off for 31 fucking points.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Crap, Reggie Bush got 22 points and I sat him. I'm still leading though.

Don't worry, you've got nothing to fear.

[msubulldogs21]

SFOC, have my funds come in yet? I sent 'em off Wednesday.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Nope.

[mtbykr]

My fantasy team is going to suck big time if Brady misses any prolonged stretch of time. My backup QB is Vince Young.

not good, he's out with a knee injury too

[The Dustball]

Nope.

Have mine come in? I sent them last friday.

[The Dustball]

Overall I may have lost this week but I've still got a player to go tonight and I've currently scored the 4th highest point total in the league. Average Joe's team had a fantastic week.

[mtbykr]

McNabb and Turner had great weeks, other than that everyone else was average or below average. Still have Minn going tonight so things are looking good.

[Gom]

Fantasy football is boring. Nobody trades.

[mtbykr]

Fantasy football is boring. Nobody trades.



I'm sure that MDF3530 will be more than willing to trade Brady or Young to you!

[Sox Fan on Cape]

dustballs check, came in. So did Josh, but I don't know what team. So Josh what team are you ?

[msubulldogs21]

So Josh what team are you ?

That would be me, as in Bulldogs.

[Gom]

I'm sure that MDF3530 will be more than willing to trade Brady or Young to you!
I just don't understand football that well. Hey, I only lost to the defending champ 55-46. I call that a good first week showing.

[The Dustball]

I just don't understand football that well. Hey, I only lost to the defending champ 55-46. I call that a good first week showing.

Lol scoring 46 is not a good showing.

[Gom]

Lol scoring 46 is not a good showing.
It's my first time ever playing fantasy football. I will take what I can get. :)

[msubulldogs21]

Gom, I actually think you may have won dude. The stats are messed up tonight and it's not showing anything from the Monday night games, but Cutler is your QB and he's having a big night out in Oakland. That may have put you over the top.

[ORS]

You have to buy the Stattracker feature to have the league page reflect that day's action after 9/7/08.

[Gom]

Gom, I actually think you may have won dude. The stats are messed up tonight and it's not showing anything from the Monday night games, but Cutler is your QB and he's having a big night out in Oakland. That may have put you over the top.
I did win! I beat the defending champ! I have one more win then I thought I would all season! YAY!

[Sox Fan on Cape]

You have to buy the Stattracker feature to have the league page reflect that day's action after 9/7/08.

No, we don't. Stattracker is included in the Plus upgrade that we purchased.

[Gom]

I can't access it. It says that statracker is for Plus leagues. What am I doing wrong?

[ORS]

No, we don't. Stattracker is included in the Plus upgrade that we purchased.
The scores, as shown on your team page on the day of action, did not show up last night.

[Coco's Disciples]

They didn't show up for me either. Doesn't it usually say "Plus Football 08" at the top instead of just "Football 08"?

[ORS]

Yeah. Also, I attempted to look at some of the draft guide information that you get with a PLUS league. This was after our draft, and I wanted to see if some of my picks were reaches. None of the .pdf links for the reports were active. SFoC, you may want to contact Yahoo and verify the change was made.

Same thing. Let me clear the cookies on my computer and try again.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

I just sent a message. I tried this route as I was trying to register and I got a canned reply a couple of days ago. I wasn't impressed with thw "speedy helpful" information.

[ORS]

Oh, I know. Customer service no longer exists. If you get another canned reply, don't pull any punches. Tell them how often we use their service as a group and that we'd happily move on to another provider if they don't give your issue human attention.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Finally. Yahoo fixed mistake, we're in Plus League,

[Gom]

Does anyone want David Garard or Tony Gonzales? I need a good WR or RB.

[YanksHater213]

i offered you joey galloway for gonzalez which is a pretty even trade and you declined it.......

[ORS]

Not so sure about that YH. In terms of net points, it's about even, but Gonzalez is a TE. If you put Galloway's production at TE, it gains value. It's like comparing a .300/30/100 season from a 1B vs. a SS.

Thank you. Even I have figured this out, and I'm new to this. With the points being even, I value TE>WR>QB>RB. Simply because the best players go in the reverse order.

[YanksHater213]

I'm not tryin to rip you off...

Galloway is a very reliable receiver, and you need one, while I'm looking for a tight end. If you're looking to get rid of him, sounds like my offer of Galloway was the only/best one on the table.

At this point, I won't do it because Colston just went down, but if you're still looking to trade him 4-6 weeks from now, the same offer will be on the table.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Not entirely true.

[TheKilo]

Fuck, ORS, there was a reason I told you not to draft Rodgers before I did.

[Gom]

Cool Yankshater. You never know. Like I said, I got Garard and the Winslow/Gonzales at TE. Looking for a top notch WR or RB.

Wow...I'm kicking ass this week. You guys suck. I can't even pick a single player on my team out of a police lineup.

[Coco's Disciples]

Shit, I played Owen Daniels and Baltimore, and their game is cancelled. I'm winning big now, but whoever I'm playing has like 4 guys playing later. Not good.

[Gom]

Someone make me a good offer for Gonzales and/or Garard.

[ORS]

Fuck, ORS, there was a reason I told you not to draft Rodgers before I did.
It's not like Eli hurt you today.

[TheKilo]

It's not like Eli hurt you today.

Oh I know I'm just saying how I think Rodgers is gonna have a fantastic year.

[The Dustball]

Holy shit. 0-2. I got wrecked today. Barber still to go but god damn 0-2. I need a QB/TE ( Gom-- what do you want for either of those guys?)

TJ has been clutch so far. 6 points in two games. Fucking gay.

EDIT: And I sat Julius Jones today and he got 19 points. I need a W next week.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Stop whining. I just got done making Voo Doo dolls for all my team. I grabbed a bottle of Jack, a glass, a large needle, a pile of wooden matches, ........ now I'll have me some fun.

[The Dustball]

Shit, I played Owen Daniels and Baltimore, and their game is cancelled. I'm winning big now, but whoever I'm playing has like 4 guys playing later. Not good.

Lol I've been following your game. Now you're only up by 8 and he has Westbrook tomorrow. That's gonna be tough. But hey at least you have a win under your belt.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Now that Yahoo has finally fixed the Plus problem, members should your team settings and indicate what prize you want, etc.

I sent you an offer, but I'm not sure if it's a good one.

I need a comparable WR or RB for either Gonzales or Garard.

[msubulldogs21]

ORS, I see you've got a 40 point lead on me heading into Monday night. All I've got left is Romo and Witten. Maybe Romo will go off. That's about my only shot at winning.

[ORS]

Every Romo to Witten TD is 10 pts for you. A couple of those and yards could do it. I'll be cheering on the Eagles defense (not only for fantasy, but I'm a Skins fan too), and hoping DeSean Jackson gets a lot of looks and touches.

[Gom]

Garard and Gonzales are still available.

[TheKilo]

Garrard is going to have a bad year and Gonzalez doesn't have anyone who can throw him the ball.

[Gom]

I guess so. I don't know much about football, admittedly.

[TheKilo]

CHad Johnson and both defenses available.

[Coco's Disciples]

Quite the trade. LT, Manning, Grant, all moved. Impressive.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Quite the trade. LT, Manning, Grant, all moved. Impressive.

I think its a fair deal all around. I had to skake it up a bit.

[dreilly]

Anyone have a RB they are willing to trade?

[CrespoBlows]

Garrard is going to have a bad year and Gonzalez doesn't have anyone who can throw him the ball.

Gonzalez had close to 1200 last year, and Brodie Croyle and Damon Huard were throwing him the ball. Huard will be back next week.

He's been targeted 20 times this year. The Chiefs are making him and Bowe focal points of the offense.

[Coco's Disciples]

Not a good fantasy week for me. In my other league I lost 98.73-98.65. 0.08 points!

[BoSox21]

im 5-0 in my leagues, snaaaaaaap

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Interesting. How does 2 divide evenly into 5 ?

When the Yankees start cheating.

He might have had a bye week in one of his leagues.

I guess that is a no. Thanks

It might help if you stated what you're willing to trade and what you're looking for ( back-up RB, starter, etc ). Basically, if you have the need, it's up to you to propose a trade.

This is a message to all the fantasy football players.

I know I don't know anything about football, but if I send out a trade proposal, please take the minute it would take to reject a deal. I have had one deal just run out of time, and two offers have been sitting there for over a week.

Please be considerate and at least reject the offer. Thank you.

P.S. I'd much prefer a counter offer :thumbsup:

[Gom]

On another note...

You guys are losing to a guy who never played Fantasy Football, doesn't know a thing about football, and is in this league solely to knock a deserving team out of the playoffs.

How does that make you feel?

You guys all suck. The only one who has an excuse is dreilly, because as a female, she's supposed to suck.

[ORS]

Gom, you molest collies.

Reason: Anyone who thinks fantasy sports is anything other than luck should probably be forced to go out in public with drool cup. You talking smack about it is like bragging because you won the lottery, "I KNEW ping pong ball #53 was going to come up!"

[Gom]

SILENCE!!!!

KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!

[dreilly]

2 words...

Ronnie Brown

:)

[The Dustball]

Well I may have just saved my season right here this week. TJ is back and back big.

[TheKilo]

Fuck michael Turner and Forte from CHI.

So gay.

[msubulldogs21]

I'm glad I'm playing the PPP's this week, otherwise I'd be screwed. I've only managed 44 points so far but it'll be enough for the win.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Your welcome.

[Gom]

You guys are really terrible.

How can you guys be losing to a guy who knows NOTHING about football?

You should all kill yourselves now. Just hang yourselves in the shower.

[Coco's Disciples]

Gonna need Rivers, Chambers and Gates to score less than 48, combined. Good chance for a win this week.

[Gom]

Gonzales and Garard still available for you peons that need help.

Bow to me, knaves. You hear me? BOW!

You know what I just realized? You guys have to beat me soon. Otherwise, I plan on making you read this shit for the rest of the year. I LOVE IT!

[dreilly]

LOL.. Shut up Gom. ;)

[Coco's Disciples]

Mark Week 7 down on your calendar, Gom.

[YanksHater213]

my team is a mess right now, i can't wait until they get healthy so i can murder GOM week 12....

[dreilly]

I lost by 1 point. 1 POINT!

I am fucking livid!

[Coco's Disciples]

Holy fucking shit I nearly lost that game. 2-1 though!

[Gom]

my team is a mess right now, i can't wait until they get healthy so i can murder GOM week 12....

Yeah...murder a guy who knows nothing about football. Real proud of yourself, aren't ya? Loser. :harhar:

[dreilly]

Holy fucking shit I nearly lost that game. 2-1 though!


Good Game. :) I thought I was going to win that one.

[Gom]

Only dreilly knows my fantasy secret.

FOOTBALL, YOU ASSHOLES! MY FANTASY FOOTBALL SECRET!

[msubulldogs21]

Coco, you are one lucky SOB. Not only are you facing me when Joseph Addai has a bye week, but my #2 RB Willie Parker has a sprained knee and is out for Monday's game. In essence, congrats in advance on throttling my team this weekend.

Edit: And naturally my #3 week RB has a bye as well. Awesome. So I'm down to my #FOUR back and whoever I pick up from the trash heap.

[Gom]

No one wants an All Pro QB or All Pro TE? Only looking for a comparable valued WR or RB for either/both.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Not that it means anything, but Derek Anderson was an All Pro last year too.

[YanksHater213]

gom, i sent you an offer with colston involved...

theres a chance you might accept it, but i'm not sure. it's got a lot of potential upside for you...

we can definitely work something else out if you don't like it, so counter it with something else if you dont like it.

[TheKilo]

David Garrard and Tony Gonzalez won't do squat this year.

[Gom]

David Garrard and Tony Gonzalez won't do squat this year.

Why do you say so?

[CrespoBlows]

Why do you say so?

No offensive line, no WR's.

He might be better when Williams and Porter get back.

Tony Gonzalez should be better when Huard plays in Week 4. Tyler Thigpen would have destroyed his fantasy value. He was being targeted quite a bit. He just needs a QB to get him the ball. Huard's not that good, but he's a substantial upgrade from Tyler Thigpen.

Although I still have my doubts as to whether or not Huard is any good.

[Gom]

Ok. I guess I won't trade them then. Thanks for the insight.

[TheKilo]

You could probably still trade them just not for the value you think.

[Gom]

You guys are terrible. I'm undefeated, and I don't know shit about football. Kilo...I'm disappointed. I thought you were good, but you suck too.

[ORS]

Numnuts, you need 19 pts out of your defense to remain undefeated (and not lose to Kilo). It can happen, but I wouldn't bet on it against Philly.

[Gom]

Why do I need 19 pts out of my defense? I thought I was winning 87-53.

[ORS]

105-87

When was the last time you checked? Your post was at 7:30, so I figured you'd seen the score after the late games concluded. Forget to refresh the screen?

Unless the Steelers D absolutely collapses and goes negative tonight I will have my second W in a row.

It's probably the closest you'll ever come.

2-1-1 now, not bad.

Wait til AP gets hurt, Gom. Your season will hit the shitter.

Until then, I plan to enjoy taunting, baiting, and telling you that you all suck. I am really in a no-lose situation here.

[YanksHater213]

you shoudl really deal me peterson for someone... salvage some value for him while you can before he gets hurt

[Gom]

What would you offer?

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Actually no-win. As you have repeatedly pointed out, " you don't know shit about football". Therefore, any success by your team has nothing to do with skill and is due to luck. You have taken yourself out pf contention by your own admission.

[YanksHater213]

What would you offer?
what would you want

[Gom]

what would you want
If he's going to be injured, I don't know. What would be fair?

[dreilly]

How do you know he is going to be injured?

[Gom]

Well, if he is, I should trade him, right?

[dreilly]

I know he has/had some hamstring issues the last 2 weeks but it hasn't seemed to stop him from producing. He just rushed for what..80 yards and scored 2 touchdowns? And that's while he isn't 100%.

[Gom]

Ok I will trade Peterson then. Best offer gets him.

[TheKilo]

Peterson hasn't had a full, healthy season of football since High School

There's a track record there.

[YanksHater213]

i'll start with colston - he's gonna be back within the next few weeks, and i know you asked about him before

[ORS]

Offer sent, Gom. It's more than fair value. In fact, I think I'm overpaying, but I want to get it done. You'll get two starters out of the deal, and I'll expose myself to being fucked if a starter gets hurt.

[The Dustball]

Hell yes. 3 straight wins for me pending a Steeler collapse in the second half. Edgerrin James has proven to be a solid back to have this season.

[msubulldogs21]

dreilly, looks like you're going to sneak out a close one on me to remain unbeaten... unless Hines Ward and Mewelde Moore go off in the 2nd half at Jacksonville tonight. Not likely.

[dreilly]

QB Kyle Orton
WR Kevin Walter
WR Marques Colston
WR Arnaz Battle
RB DeAngelo Williams
RB Chris Perry
TE Tony Scheffler
K Josh Scobee
DEF Jacksonville

If I win this week... WOW.

Roethlisberger, Edwards, Evans, and Holmes on byes and Westbrook isn't playing... fuck my life.

Dude, look who you're playing.

The Steelers are killing me too. I have Parker/Ward/Moore who are all on the bye week too.

[The Dustball]

What a hell of a turnaround by my team. Unless the Giants D scores about 40 tomorrow I'll have won 4 straight games. Of course this is all luck based, but that's not going to ruin my spirits.

[dreilly]

I can't complain. :)

[YanksHater213]

me and bulldogs had a nice matchup this week :rolleyes:

[ORS]

Dreadful performance from my team this week.

The starters minus defense were projected to score 93 and put up 53. Five turnovers, and Roy Williams has become worthless in that shitstorm Detroit offense.

Who needs a QB? Favre is, obviously, feast or famine, but he's top 8, with all 7 above him not having had a bye week yet (he has). I'm looking for a lower level WR1 or upper level WR2 as compensation. Offers for Rodgers better wow me.

[Coco's Disciples]

Woohoo, I'm gonna be in 2nd.
