RTTP Fantasy Football 2011[views:17182][posts:86]________________________________ [Jul 25,2011 1:16pm - xmikex ""] The labor deal is expected to be settled this afternoon. The season opens Thursday September 8th, which means right now is the time to start talking about a FF league. I'm willing to organize it as long as people are actually willing to do it. Interested parties please say so, and include preferences as far as which site to use, starting lineup configurations, scoring, drafting, live draft day/time preference etc. You can either post your email here, or PM me with it. Myself, I'm fine with any site. I prefer the traditional QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR, TE, D, K lineup as opposed to the flex WR/TE option because it makes it harder. But it's not a deal breaker I suppose. Live drafts are a must for me though. |

| ____________________________________ [Jul 25,2011 1:33pm - eyeroller ""] I fuckin hate sports. My fantasy football: [img] |
| ________________________________ [Jul 25,2011 1:38pm - xmikex ""] ...that's a softball helmet. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Jul 25,2011 5:18pm - RustyPS should be working ""] I played ESPN FFB two years ago, and it was painful to use. Have they improved? I would also suggested a 1/2 PPR. My main league does it, and I personally feel it's the best scoring system |
| ________________________________ [Jul 25,2011 5:38pm - xmikex ""] I'm open to .5 PPR if people are into it. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 30,2011 11:31pm - BOF Zack ""] am into this...hit me up if you need players. statexunfair@gmail.com |
| _______________________________ [Jul 31,2011 2:20am - Pires ""] I hate yahoo and espn. But if I must choose one to play on, I guess it'd be yahoo. Only CBS is real(but it's a pay site). I'm down for PPR. Both pay leagues I'm in use 1pt PPR. And I'd assume you guys would be against team QBs??? Seems like everyone is against team QBs when first introduced to it. Ive been using them for 5 yrs or so, and it's the best rule change we have done. No more losing out on a huge position due to injury. It works people! Either way. Count me in. Just let me know when the draft is and hopefully I'm not working that night. I hate having a computer draft for me. Almost makes me not want to play. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 31,2011 2:27am - Pires ""] I also feel like the TE position is a waste of a roster spot. But some guys like the "challenge" of drafting a TE early. I personally can't fucking stand TEs in fantasy football. But not a deal breaker. I prefer 4-5pts a TD for QBs w/ 1 PT every 25 yds. 6pts for a RB/WR/TE TD with 1 PT every 10yds. I think bonuses are gay ( x-amount of pts for 300+yds, etc). I also like rewarding DSTs for fumbles, INTs, and sacks(usually +2pts). And penalizing QBs/RBs/WRs for fumbles and INTs (usually -2pts) |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 31,2011 9:28am - YildunDave ""] I love Yahoo's fantasy sports setup. Maybe I'm just used to it but their interface is simple, user friendly and it actually works. |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 31,2011 12:53pm - KILLER KADERP ""] I'll do it. Everyoneelse1234@yahoo.com I prefer Yahoo as well. Used to it. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 31,2011 1:24pm - YildunDave ""] Forgot to leave my email before: midnightseagull@gmail.com |
| ________________________________ [Jul 31,2011 2:28pm - xmikex ""] I like it. Keep em coming |

| _______________________________ [Aug 4,2011 2:47pm - xmikex ""] I setup a Yahoo league. When I goto edit the scoring settings it won't let me edit the score values for rushing and receiving yards. It will only let me adjust it for X amount of yards = 1 point. Anyone know if this is alterable and how to do it? ESPN will let me do it no problem. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 4,2011 3:16pm - Pires ""] So that just mean that 10yds=1pt? |
| _______________________________ [Aug 4,2011 4:19pm - xmikex ""] The default is 10 yds = 1 point. For every other scoring piece you're allowed to change the point value i.e. A TD = X points. For receiving and rushing yards it's X yds = 1 point, which is stupid. Yahoo says it's possible to do .5 points per yard like you guys wanted, but I can't figure out how. |
| ___________________________________________________ [Aug 4,2011 4:22pm - RustyPS should be working ""] I was talking about a half a point per reception...1 point per 10 yards makes sense to me, just as long as you allow fractional points |
| ______________________________ [Aug 4,2011 4:59pm - Pires ""] Oh no. No .5 pts for yardage. Only receptions. |
| _______________________________ [Aug 4,2011 6:06pm - xmikex ""] b'oh. what a retard. I had 30 things on my mind and misunderstood. Everything is cool now. Yahoo was the consensus vote so I went with that (sorry Guy, hope you're still interested). Invites are sent. You all have the worst email addresses, btw. Pires did you put your email up? I don't see a PM from you about their either. If everyone follows through that'll make 7 teams. We'd need at least 1 more. THE DRAFT IS CURRENTLY SCHEDULED FOR THURSDAY AUGUST 18TH @ 7:15 PM. We have a lot of flex room, so please speak up if that doesn't work and we'll try to come to the best consensus possible. |
| ________________________________ [Aug 4,2011 6:21pm - GUYnli ""] yahoo is fine, im signed in |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 4,2011 10:39pm - YildunDave ""] My band is playing a show that Thursday night, so another time for the draft would be much appreciated! |
| _______________________________ [Aug 4,2011 11:29pm - Pires ""] I sent you a PM earlier with my address. It's liesofautumn1(at)yahoo(dot)com. And aug 18 is no good for me. Leaving for Vegas that morning. Wont be back until Monday night(22nd). |
| ________________________________ [Aug 4,2011 11:51pm - xmikex ""] Just scheduled another draft on the 22nd. Do I dare double up? |
| ______________________________ [Aug 5,2011 1:01am - Pires ""] xmikex said:Just scheduled another draft on the 22nd. Do I dare double up? No good haha. Won't be back until 11pm Monday night. Sorry. I should have made that a little clearer. Whatever though. If it's convenient for everyone else, I'll just have the computer draft for me and I'll just roll with what I have. |
| ________________________________________ [Aug 5,2011 10:38am - KILLER KADERP ""] FUCK YES. |
| ___________________________________________________ [Aug 5,2011 3:04pm - RustyPS should be working ""] My team name was Bova Is God, but I have now changed it to What's Halpining?! I know Mike is Bill Bovachick...what about the rest? |

| _______________________________ [Aug 5,2011 3:46pm - xmikex ""] Would a weekend afternoon be preferable to people? Or should I try again for a weeknight? |
| ___________________________________________________ [Aug 5,2011 3:52pm - RustyPS should be working ""] doesn't matter to me, but if it's on a weeknight, I would request after 7PM...if that's inconvenient for everyone else, I'll let Yahoo pick for me |
| ______________________________ [Aug 5,2011 7:13pm - Pires ""] I personally can't do between 4p-12a Saturday's,Sunday's, and Monday's . And I'll be away from the 18th-22nd. But if I have to, I'll have the computer draft for me. You should try to make it for the last week of august. Most of the FAs will be signed and depth charts will be established. I still think it's a little too early. But then again, I'm not commish, so I play by your rules. |
| ________________________________ [Aug 5,2011 8:14pm - GUYnli ""] it doesnt matter to me, just set a timethats good for everyone else and ill make time. |
| ________________________________________ [Aug 6,2011 11:43am - KILLER KADERP ""] Anytime works for me. I am Harpies Get Herpies. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 6,2011 12:23pm - YildunDave ""] Most any time is fine for me. I'm Festive Robot XXVI |
| _______________________________ [Aug 6,2011 7:14pm - xmikex ""] Pires said:You should try to make it for the last week of august. I'm fine with that. Initially I shot for an earlier date because I thought people would want to get right to it. But I suppose either way the games don't start until september. |
| _______________________________ [Aug 7,2011 11:11am - Pires ""] Just signed up (Cobra Kai). Is the waiver only allowed Sunday-Tuesday? Or is that the period we can't pick up players? |
| __________________________________ [Aug 7,2011 11:27am - tylor69 ""] if you guys are still looking for people, i'll do it. only times i can't do it are mon-fri 9-6 and i have drafts on aug 23 and sep 4 |
| _______________________________ [Aug 7,2011 11:30am - tylor ""] holy shit, i remembered the password for my account. xmikex i'll PM you my email in case youre still looking |
| _______________________________ [Aug 7,2011 3:05pm - xmikex ""] plz do. Pires I'll look into the waiver situation, but I'd assume Sun-Tuesday is the times that the rosters lock, and waivers aren't available until Tues morning? |
| ________________________________ [Aug 7,2011 4:51pm - RustyPS ""] xmikex said:Pires I'll look into the waiver situation, but I'd assume Sun-Tuesday is the times that the rosters lock, and waivers aren't available until Tues morning?That's the way it typically is on Yahoo |
| ______________________________ [Aug 8,2011 1:54am - Pires ""] That's what I figured. The wording just seemed kind of funny so it threw me off. |
| _________________________________ [Aug 11,2011 12:05pm - xmikex ""] Tylor, sorry for the wait. Sent your invite out a minute ago. NEW DRAFT TIME HAS BEEN SET: SATURDAY AUGUST 27TH 12:00 HIGH NOON End of August, Pires is back. Nobody has to rush home from work. I think it's a winner. |
| _______________________________ [Aug 11,2011 2:09pm - tylor ""] no prob, just signed up |
| _______________________________ [Aug 11,2011 2:14pm - tylor ""] 8-team league? |

| ________________________________ [Aug 11,2011 2:53pm - xmikex ""] It's at 8 teams right now. More would be cool. 8 is decent enough though. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 11,2011 4:07pm - Zack BOF ""] PPR is gay...don't do that. Standard Yahoo scoring is fine..I prefer ESPN but evs. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Aug 11,2011 4:18pm - RustyPS should be working ""] I'll give you gay....I'LL GIVE YOU GAY!!!!!11 |

| _________________________________ [Aug 23,2011 10:18am - xmikex ""] So everyone knows the draft is Saturday right? |
| _____________________________________________________ [Aug 23,2011 10:45am - RustyPS should be working ""] just remembered this morning lol I have 3 teams this year, 3 drafts in 3 days, this one Saturday, the money league I do every year on Sunday, and a fucking around free league on Monday night |
| _________________________________ [Aug 23,2011 11:42am - xmikex ""] I've been looking to do a money league for years and it never works out. Doing an 8 team draft tomorrow, this league Sat, and immediately following if not overlapping I'm doing a 12 team. |
| _______________________________ [Aug 23,2011 6:39pm - tylor ""] three leagues and four drafts for me this year (drafting for my dad in his league) |
| ________________________________________________ [Aug 23,2011 7:00pm - KILLER KADOOGAMANTIUM ""] yep |
| _________________________________ [Aug 27,2011 11:47am - xmikex ""] Sitting in the draft room by myself. FIRST PICK. |

| ________________________________________________ [Aug 27,2011 4:02pm - KILLER KADOOGAMANTIUM ""] I started working overnights at UPS and am now sleeping until 1 or 2 in the afternoon, so I missed the draft by a longshot. I'm off to see how badly I got fucked by autopicking. |
| ________________________________________________ [Aug 27,2011 4:06pm - KILLER KADOOGAMANTIUM ""] I just flew in from My Roster and boy is my asshole tired. At least I got Brady. |
| _________________________________ [Aug 27,2011 6:13pm - GUYnli ""] my autopick team is lookin nice, totally spaced on the draft until like 3 |
| ________________________________ [Aug 27,2011 10:41pm - Pires ""] Only bitching about the draft time/day earlier before then moving into a new house this weekend only to have to prepare it for this shitty upcoming storm and missing the fucking draft is real. |
| _________________________________ [Aug 28,2011 11:35am - xmikex ""] Did a 16 team draft later that day with a bunch of retards who drafted from the bottom up. That makes 3 drafts in a row where Stephen Gostkowski went in the first 6 rounds. |

| _________________________________ [Aug 28,2011 8:28pm - RustyPS ""] Drafted the money league today, had pick #6 in a .5 PPR: Jamaal Charles Roddy White Tom Brady Dewayne Bowe DeSean Jackson DeAngelo Williams Stevie Johnson Chad Ochocinco Rob Gronkowski Pierre Thomas Mike Williams (SEA) A.J. Green Ben Tate Jay Cutler DeMarco Murray Chicago D Mason Crosby |
| ________________________________ [Aug 29,2011 11:49am - Pires ""] RBs are so-so. Really strong at WRs. Especially for .5 PPR. |
| _____________________________________________________ [Aug 29,2011 11:52am - RustyPS should be working ""] yea, I'm currently trying to work out a trade for a better RB2, which I may not even need if D-Will and/or Pierre Thomas return to form |
| _______________________________ [Aug 29,2011 3:12pm - Pires ""] I just read ingram and thomas are going to be splitting carries "evenly" for the time being. I hate Williams and Stewart. I was happy to see williams was a free agent, only to go right back to CAR and fuck everything all up again. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Aug 29,2011 3:17pm - RustyPS should be working ""] Thomas has been splitting carries his whole professional career, didn't stop him from putting up big numbers before Why the hate for D-Will? He's put up some huge numbers himself |
| ________________________________ [Aug 29,2011 9:25pm - xmikex ""] My first terrible trade proposal of the year. I would get: Johnathan Stewart Anthony Armstrong (actually had to look this guy up) in exchange for Tim Hightower My response: "Hightower's the big black guy from Police Academy right? I'd better keep him. " |

| ________________________________ [Oct 12,2011 1:10pm - xmikex ""] That's a much more insulting comparison to people that don't share a messageboard with lifelong d&d nerds. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Oct 12,2011 1:14pm - RustyPS should be working ""] Agree with Mike, but on the other hand, fantasy football players pick real life palyers and do well or not based on real performances, whereas D&D players pretend to be fictional characters in a magical land where you cast spells and ride dragons |
| ________________________________ [Oct 12,2011 1:22pm - xmikex ""] Rex Ryan exists in a fantasy land. |

It's just a stats game with slightly different ways of accumulating said numbers. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Oct 12,2011 1:46pm - RustyPS should be working ""] All very true, just stating other facts |
| ________________________________ [Oct 12,2011 2:21pm - xmikex ""] People who vote on politicians can't control what happens once they enter office. When things work out for the guy you pick you win the power of superiority over everyone who chose differently from you. Hence therefore C-SPAN = Rotoworld. The only difference is that when a FF player stops doing anything for you, you get rid of him. |
| _______________________________ [Dec 27,2011 4:29pm - Pires ""] Congratulations rusty! |
| ____________________________________________________ [Dec 27,2011 4:35pm - RustyPS should be working ""] Thank you sir! |
| _______________________________ [Dec 27,2011 4:41pm - Pires ""] My fucking WRs decided not to play this week. Rodgers throwing for 5 TDs couldn't even help me |

I managed to get Willis McGahee and Mike Tolbert in two separate trades, but it wasn't enough to save my season. I ended up 7-7, good for 5th place and on the outside of the playoffs looking in. So disappointing, the first time I lost money playing FFB. |
