MBBRL Suicide League Draft Thread

[Sam Sportboy]

So, I was looking at my team today. I drafted what I believe was a league record 6 WRs.

Looking forward to week 1, Crabtree and Blackmon are both out, Rice and Nelson are varying degrees of questionable.

That leaves me with Greg Jennings, who has potential to be a huge bust (drafted as my WR4), and Danny Amendola (LOL) as my 2 healthy wideouts.

What are the odds that I start the year with 1 active WR out of 6?

Well at least with Blackmon he shouldn't get hurt until week 5......unless he burns himself with his bong or something like that. Starting to like Amendola a bit more as camp goes on.

That's true although I saw that he already pissed off the coach with a bad attitude. ....

Bumping this thread with some interesting info. My cheatsheet editor has the ability for me to enter the URL for a particular draft (like our ESPN leagues) and grade the teams. Pretty interesting and I'll post what it thinks our top and bottom teams are when I FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT!

 

[wilwhite]

Bottom team will be the one that spent a second-round pick on a guy who won't play.

So according to their poll of 51 experts this is how the teams shake out over all........


1 Team Lefty 784
2 Ram Tough 765
3 The Fudpuckers 731
4 Duff Beer Euthanasia 727
5 Kamikaze Sloths 722
6 Team Scape 695
7 Team THE RRC's 2.5 667
8 Team W 656
9 Drummond Bugle Band 636
10 JaMarcus Russll Redemption Tour 611
11 Team landseadel 606
12 Circle the Wagons 532

Pfft...projections..schmajections

 

[wilwhite]

I think they took extra points off TKO for Hernandez.

Hey, I paid $15 bucks for that damn thing I better use it..........and I should probably learn how to read better too............thought it would let me upload my cheatsheet into the draft rooms of my drafts but either you can't or I just can't figure it out.........that was the main reason I bought it.

 

[wilwhite]

And I'd love to see the numbers for the coma league.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Geesh, my head's getting so big! LOL

I was looking at my coma league team, and it's not looking good anywhere, but TE... and Hillman I guess. Don't know why I went with rookies at WR, over the vets like Moss and Washington and Burleson.

I'd say since it has my team ranked pretty high, it was money well spent ......

yes - that would be very interesting. .....

No need to PM: I'll post it.

MBBRL (or Message Board Bragging Rights League)- This league was started by the immortal Will of White when he got sick of hearing a few of our members (I may have been one of them) talking shit about players and how much we knew etc. It all came to a head when a certain member decided to challange the rest of us to a $1000 winner take all league. We pretty much told him to go piss up a rope and Will decided to start this league. Best part: The guy who made the $1000 challange came in last place.


MBBRL Suicide League- This league was formed last year when a few of the MBBRL members decided to get into a pissing match talking shit about deep sleepers and who had who ranked where and such. So we decided to make a league where there is no waiver wire transactions or trades. Oh yeah, and we had this draft in June so any TC injuries, arrests or anything that would have kept you from drafting a player is not taken into consideration. BTW, guess who was talking the most poop. Might be the guy who made the $1000 challange.

The MBBRL Coma League: This league is based on the same set of rules as the Suicide League but with the remaining players that were left over from the Suicide Draft.............needless to say, there are some pretty interesting looking teams in that league (I pussed out and didn't play).

That's the history of the 3 leagues; we can answer any questions you may have about keeper leagues too.

dblake - suicide league was just invented last year, so dont feel like you should already know about it.

As simple as fantasy football gets - do a draft after the actual NFL draft, but well before training camp.
No waiver wires, no trades. what you draft is what you get, all season long.

It came about as a challenge to those who thought they 'knew' about certain guys that were going to breakout. Doing the draft this early allows you to get them at a great value, before they climb up everyone else's draft boards during preseason.

sam beat me to the punch, nice recap on all 3 Sam!

 

[averagejoe]

This year it drafted in May. Nice work. Had the kiss of death in that league too.
