My Wife Hates Sundays (MWHS) web site

[Sam Sportboy]

Cool with Brian.......if his name was Righty I might have had to reconsider...........

 

[Barilko]

an I make another request related to the top 200? Can we lose the header/banner? The massive thing that says "Fiddlesticks, Ouch, Well that's that," etc.

I do believe after anyone links into any particular section ie: Joe's quick or sam spud etc..the banner on the next page to load should be seriously smaller

Gentlemen - I have recruited another 'expert' for our site. I can assure you that he is extremely knowledgeable, writes very well, and will be a valuable asset. Now, I may be a tad biased since it is my son, Brian. It was he that got me involved in fantasy years ago. ....

a little to the left eh.... You Have my vote.......

Hello all

Hey guys, Dad (leftypower) has been telling me about you guys for a couple of years now and I even posted an article last year to the website about draft prep. A little bit about myself: As you all know my wife and I just had our first daughter on May 28th and we couldn't be happier. She is a great baby and already sleeping through the night about 6 hours. She has been what has taken up most of my time for the last couple of months but it is well worth it. I have been married for ten years and my wife thinks that fantasy football is a colossal waste of time, but she is also kind enough to let me get the Sunday ticket every year and doesn't care how many leagues I'm in. I joined my first fantasy football league in 2005 as a co-owner with my brother back in the days when LT averaged 35 points a week and Shaun Alexander was scoring 20 touchdowns a year for the Seahawks. I was hooked immediately and in 2006 I started my own CBS league called the Gamblers of the Gridiron. I still remember the first draft I ran and it was the year that L.T., Shaun Alexander, Larry Johnson, and Tiki Barber were the top four. I drafted third and really wanted Shaun Alexander, but he was drafted 2nd and I was "stuck" with Larry Johnson. Well Shaun Alexander got hurt and Larry Johnson carried me to a 2nd place finish. We had 10 teams the first year and expanded to 12 in 2007 and have had that many ever since. I have played in multiple leagues every year, 8 last year including my league and my Dad's league. I was in 6 CBS pay leagues, 1 ESPN league, and 1 Yahoo league. When I pay for a CBS league I create the league always with fun names such as the Caddyshack League, the Wrestling League, The Quentin Tarantino League, etc. Dad doesn't understand how I could possibly manage that many teams without my head exploding, but once the draft is over, it's really not that bad. I am the 3 time champion of my league, 1 time champion of Dad's league. I have won 2 CBS pay leagues and finished 3rd in two of them. I won a world championship of fantasy football satellite league the first year I entered. Last year in the 8 leagues I was in I made the playoffs in 5 of the 8 which is about average for me. I have never missed the playoffs in the 7 years of my league or the 5 years of Dad's league. Now, here's a couple of things I believe in fantasy wise: #1 - team quarterbacks over individual quarterbacks, your entire season shouldn't be destroyed because your quarterback goes down #2 - I hate tight ends and don't ever think you should be forced to play one #3 - I like options on my roster, give me as many flex spots as possible and I am happy. In my league, we start 1 team QB, 2 RB, 2 WR/TE, 2 RB/WR/TE, 1 K, 1 IDP. So as you can tell, you can start 4 running backs, 4 wide receivers, or 4 tight ends any given week. #4 - Live drafts are 1000 times better than online drafts. #5 - the most fun rounds of the draft are rounds 6 -10. Anybody can pick the first 5 rounds, the next 5 is where your homework comes in. #6 - I approve all trades unless they are at least 80% one sided. If you want to ruin your team with a stupid trade, who am I to stop you. #7 - I go with my gut, not with the numbers a lot. If I ask you who you think I should start, I don't want you to quote me rankings from a website, I want you to tell me who you think is going to have a better week whether the experts back you up or not. #8 - the draft gets you to the playoffs, the waiver wire wins you championships. So, there's a little bit about myself. I'm looking forward to chatting with you guys in the future.

You know, not sure there were enough words in that post; would you care to try it again? Just kidding. Welcome aboard sir...........any son of Lefty's is a son of, well, eh.........like I said welcome aboard.

 

[averagejoe]

He's over-qualified.

 

[The Foot]

No doubt there is one passionate fantasy football player! Sounds like you are going to be a very valuable addition to an all ready juiced up think tank and will fit in nicely. It seems you like to write also. Something I want to focus more on once the site is presentable! Just let me know which avatar and handle you want to use for the site. Your dad will give you all our guy's emails and I will add you to our email thread.

Welcome!

 

[The Foot]

All right guys I am off to meet with the NFL guy. Wish me luck!

 

[leftypower]

Cool with Brian.......if his name was Righty I might have had to reconsider...........

Interesting that you mention that. Both my boys (well men now) are right-handed, where as both my brother and I are left-handed. Both my parents were right-handed and I don't recall anyone else in my family tree as being left-handed. ..... of course, we are from the south - so you just never know for sure how that gene thing works. .....

BTW - thanks to all for the endorsements of Brian - he'll be a value pickup off the waiver-wire.

 

[Sam Sportboy]

All right guys I am off to meet with the NFL guy. Wish me luck!

 

[The Foot]

All right guys I'm back. Gonna eat something real quick then get started. It went great and I got a lot to tell you all. Will be sending out emails after lunch so keep an eye out.

 

[Sam Sportboy]

. Now it's off to City of Rocks..............

City of Rocks yesterday and Minitonka Cave today...........oh goody! Actually City of Rocks was cool as my 6 year old took a rock climbing class this summer and now he thinks he can climb anything. Climbed up a crack about 40-50 ft high and got to the top of this pretty big rock. I would post pics if I could figure out how to post my personal pics to the site but I can't.............lol.

 

[The Foot]

Joe please send me the most updated versions of the top 200 consensus and the consensus position rankings. In the meantime i put up the measage you requested on our site. Now am going to add Rams avatar cause I am waiting for those lists.

 

[The Foot]

I need a few things here guys!

1. Guys for now on please send Joe all your rankings so he can update them. I have time but no updated version of the rankings so I am going to work on Sam's and Mine personal page. Joe please get them to ma as soon as you can. if you sent them all ready i apologize but don't see them.

2. Ram please let me know what handle you want to go by I will use your avitar from here.

3. Brian same thing I need your avatar choice and your handle. Is it the same as the one on here?

I put the under construction message up all ready!

 

[Sam Sportboy]

Looks cool Foot........just hit 10K in hits. Foot, can you forward Joe that last attachment I sent you?

 

[The Foot]

Guys I may have asked for this stuff all ready but bear with me i'm getting old and confuse very easily now a days.

 

[Yellow Fuzzies]

Fuzzy, just taking a look around. Would you guys finish your rankings so I can use the info for our MBBRL draft?

 

[The Foot]

Fuzzie we are holding a spot for you on our site if you want it. We would love to have you on board.

 

[The Foot]

Waiting on joe to get me the updated consensus. i just added Ram to the main page . I still need to do mine, Rams, Sams, Brians, personal page but i want to knock out the top 200 and position consensus first. guess while im waiting i will start Sam's personal page.

 

[Sam Sportboy]

Fuzzy, just taking a look around. Would you guys finish your rankings so I can use the info for our MBBRL draft?

Lol............I'll send you a personalized top 200 if you would like. I'ts my super secret rankings that I haven't posted yet. The only catch is you have to use them..............

 

[The Foot]

Ok Sam your page is done! Hope you like.
