Thom Yorke 07-21-2011 10:05 AM

I'm down.

Dirty 07-21-2011 10:26 AM

Hell yea we got half our league already. If boozinbloozin would ever unban himself I'm sure he'd join. I'll recruit more via PM.

You can only keep a beast chained down for so long before he snaps the chain of fantasy oppression and dominates his league. Haven't won since '07 and I feel like this is my year to take home the belt.

I call dibs on JaMarcus Russell 1st round.

I'll go Rich Gannon, hes like a poor mans Jamarcus Russell.

Thom Yorke 07-21-2011 10:54 AM

Ya, Russell has a rocket arm. Good choice. I'll follow that up with Darrius Heyward-Bey. Dude runs a sub-4.30 40. How can you go wrong???

Al Davis can draft 'em.

djchameleon 07-21-2011 11:10 AM

I'm down but I'm usually horrible at these so I'm going to cement myself near last place as usual.

richie1 07-21-2011 02:15 PM

Count me in! I love me some fantasy football! And you guys can have J. Russell and R Gannon in the first round. That's when I like to take my kicker!

pourmeanother 07-21-2011 02:40 PM

I'm awful at fantasy football compared to all other couch sports, but every league needs a bottom feeder.... count me in if there's still room. Gotta get Thrice in here too- ****, who's still around this joint?

FaSho 07-21-2011 06:18 PM

If there's room, I'd love to get in on this.

Electrophonic Tonic 07-21-2011 08:48 PM

I took last year off, but before then I've won 2 out of 7 leagues I've been in. Fortunately, they were the only 2 money leagues I've ever been a part of :laughing:

I'm in if there is a season, and I think there will be.

What site do we use? NFL? Yahoo? ESPN? Other?

Dirty 07-21-2011 08:54 PM

This is taking off better than I thought which rules. We have a lot of guys down already and I think Thrice and boozinbloozin would join too.

I've always used yahoo and never had a problem. Whoever creates it, I'm assuming eric, can we talk about how we all want it set up before you create it? I alter the default point setting a little bit usually and I think people would like it and people got suggestions

debaserr 07-21-2011 09:27 PM

Feel free to start one, I'm just not positive on how many slots we need.

Let's start with one and add them as the need dictates. It sounds like we should have enough for a couple though. Personally, i'd like to wait a bit closer to the season as there's bound to be some player movement, but i'm ok with whatever is decided.

debaserr 07-21-2011 10:54 PM

Yea, we should probably wait a few weeks or something to start it. Anyone that said they wanted in just keep up to date with this thread.

Dirty 07-22-2011 08:36 PM

Sounds like a plan. Might as well wait until the lockout is finally done with (god im tired of this shit) and free agency and all that stuff happens. I'd like to have the draft pretty close to the beginning of the season because I don't like drafting guys and them getting hurt in preseason or whatever. But still leave some time if people wanna do trades or whatever. If someone wants to run the thing, go for it. If not, I'll do it, I've run a bunch of leagues and it's not like there is really much to do other than set it up anyways. I didn't count how many we got, but sounds like we can get like 12 teams which would be great

richie1 07-22-2011 09:07 PM

If you want to set it up, dirty, that would be great! This is awesome. I've been in fantasy football leagues since back when you had to do them with paper and pen lol, but I've never been in one with fellow music nuts! Very cool.

richie1 07-22-2011 09:17 PM

So far I see 10 who want in.

What website do you guys like? I have used ESPN and Yahoo and I preferred ESPN of those two.

I've used ESPN, Yahoo and CBSsportsline. I'm good with any of those or any other that you guys like.

pourmeanother 07-23-2011 02:17 AM

Not to be a little cuntasaurus rex, but I'm pretty partial to yahoo fantasy services. I could maybe be convinced of espn if the vast majority preferred it.

Dirty 07-23-2011 02:22 AM

I've always loved yahoo. Only used espn once and i never checked my team to be honest. Yahoo gives you pretty much everything you could possibly want. I'll do whichever but I've always been partial to Yahoo, though I'm not sure what all ESPN offers.

Thom Yorke 07-23-2011 07:05 AM

Yeah, Yahoo is awesome. Sounds like that's the popular opinion here.

Electrophonic Tonic 07-23-2011 12:26 PM

I guess I'm in the minority. I like CBS/NFL.com (they're linked together). It's not overly complicated, but it gives you everything you need.

I also enjoyed the 1 year I used Fleaflicker, but I don't even know if it exists anymore.

I've never used ESPN and I've found yahoo ok, but not great.

That's my 2 cents, but I'm cool with whatever we use.

richie1 07-23-2011 12:33 PM

Yahoo sound good to me!

captaincaptain 07-23-2011 01:16 PM

I'm in. Any website is fine with me.

crash_override 07-25-2011 02:46 AM

I used NFL.com and ESPN for my 2 leagues last year, both were good.

Also, watch out cause I'm snatching up Jay Cutler in the first round...

debaserr 07-25-2011 12:32 PM

good idea, those chicago QBs are prolific.

That might have been me, I had Foster, AP, McCoy, and Hillis last year. I didn't check to see who won the finals though, considering there were only 3-4 of us actually setting up teams in the end.

Anyways, I'm in. I'll be doing my usual one on ESPN, and also Im going to check out a prize league this year, but I'll join the MB league wherever you have it.

Dirty 07-26-2011 12:50 PM

Sweeeeet. Thrice reminded me though...Guys, seriously if you aren't gonna set up your team don't bother. Even if you are out of the playoff hunt, don't be a jackass and ruin someone elses chances. Have fun with it, it takes literally 10 seconds to set a lineup once a week. LOCKOUT OVER. Can't wait til the free agents get signed!

Totally agree. Nothing like going into a playoff game and the guy your tied with is playing a team with no QB or RB's. That sucks....

I am so pumped that the lockout is over!!!

In what part of South FL do you reside? Are you a Miami fan?

I'm in Boca Raton. No, not a Dolphin fan. I was born and raised in New York and I'm a Jet fan through and through. Are you also in S. Florida?

So intrigued by the Asomugha decision. Even though I hear Houston is leading, the potential of him and Revis lining up on opposite sides is incredible. Season is close- "CAN'T WAIT!"

I can't believe he signed with the Eagles.... Where the hell did they come from? Oh well. It was fun to think about for the last few days. Time to move on and re-sign Edwards and Cro or a FA CB to replace him.

crash_override 07-30-2011 10:42 PM

OK who's setting the league? When is the draft? It's officially August boys, time to start taking this thing seriously. Lets get at least a 2 week window before the draft to get everyone on the same page.

I'm ready to take a hot sticky dump all over everyone.

I live in Cape Coral. Thank god you're not a fins fan, not that the Jets are any different! Just kidding, I'm just sour because I like the Bills.

Hey, your Bills took our Brad Smith in free agency. Used properly, the guy can be very dangerous. Nice pick up for you guys.
