Bigger Faster Stronger Louder

Ha, don't worry about it man. Nosferatu and blstoker are retired. But we still may have 10 with the following dudes:

@Cave_Johnson
@Logicallylethal
@HaroldSeattle
@FirebreathingMonkey
@Itsmytime
@uwdawgfan
@uwdawgfan 's lurker friend
@DunceKaep (doesn't post here anymore but confirmed he would play via the league messaging)
@seahawksfan234 said he'd play
@seattlefan75 sounded interested

That's 10 if everybody is willing to draft a week late.

Ok so I'm going to boot @Nosferatu (LesterHayes) and @blstoker (The Boz)

We'll need two people to immediately join though if we're going to set the draft for Saturday.

So how about this. Let's aim to do the draft Saturday 2 PM. If we don't get all 10 people by 1230 or 100 pm then I'll move the draft date to like 11 am Sunday.

I can't do Sunday night because Chris Rock is doing his last show that night at the Paramount. Anyone here going to that?

Just sent @seattlefan75 an invite. Once he joins we should have 9 teams. Can we get clarification if there is anyone left in the league that is no longer active

I haven't been on SportsHoopla for so long don't know who has sent in their retirement papers since I've been gone. Any chance @blstoker pull a last minute Brett Favre? He was always one of our best players.

If you all need a 10th, I'm willing - but I am moving tomorrow and will not have internet in the house until January. I can do once a week (or so, maybe use cell phone every once in a while) - but it won't be my usual amount of time devoted to the league.

I just sent out an email to @seahawksfan234 and @seattlefan75 with an invite

If they don't answer by tomorrow morning would you still be down to join?

Lol I've actually done a draft on the yahoo fantasy app while moving before. Just gotta do prior research and have a bunch of players pre-queued.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Went to view messages and was told I must be part of the league to see it. So guess I need a invite.

Never mind. Using the app I could read messages.

Willing to play cant draft this weekend.so ill play with who ever computer picks.

 

[Logicallylethal]

As of right now we're still at 8 people. Gonna give it another 40-50 mins before I change the draft time

 

[Logicallylethal]

Minor changes to roster positions

1) I'm going to shrink the bench from 8 to 6.
- I did it in my other money league (same setting) and it made the draft go by faster. Having 8 bench spots means it's an extra 20 picks for the entire draft. Also the waiver wire is barren when there's too many bench spots. Having 6 allows for more quality players to float around and teams will have to make hard decisions on who to keep.

2) Proposal
- Anyone interested in drafting defensive players in this league? We currently draft with one defensive player in my other league who have very little impact (usually only score around 3-5 pts a game)
- I was thinking let's experiment and add 5 defensive players and I'll tweak the scoring for that position so they'll score around 6-8 pts a game
- That way they'll have more importance but will likely still be late late round draft picks.

Alright we got 10 teams for our league.

Had to publish our league to the public to fill in the final slot since the draft was coming up soon

Remember 11:30 fellas @HaroldSeattle / @FirebreathingMonkey / @Cave_Johnson / @uwdawgfan / @Itsmytime / @DunceKaep

(@seahawksfan234 / @seattlefan75 ??? not sure which of you guys joined as Guillermo's team)

 

[Cave_Johnson]

I'm down to clown.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

I'm at a family get together, but will try to draft best I can.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Lost my internet about the 10th round.

Not me, I didn't see the message in time so I didn't join. Sorry about that.

I probably should have read the league settings beforehand. I definitely drafted as if we were just going to fill rosters and play out week 1 and 2. Also probably should have been paying attention more because I now have Nelson, Cobb, and Montgomery on the same team. All in on the Pack I guess. This is probably going to go very, very badly for me.

Well you could probably trade some those Packers players with out much of a problem.

 

[Logicallylethal]

Drafted Greg Olsen then an hour later he breaks his foot...

This is why I never draft tight ends early

 

[HaroldSeattle]

I lost my comcast hotspot, so the last few picks were auto picks. I ended up with no kicker or defense. That was easily fixed. Didn't know yahoo would do that.

Ha, that could be harder after two of them got hurt this week.

@HaroldSeattle
