If you don't show up for the draft you're team will be cut. Let's get as many as possible (you don't even need to like football), draft is as 9pm CST Sunday August 28th

[Reventon]

Hmm, I'll have to give it a look. Hope to whoop your ass, erock.

[DonInKansas]

Don in mutha f***in Kansas all up in your business, yo.

[JC316]

I don't get fantasy football. You pick real players in a draft and then however good they do in real life is how good you do?

[Reventon]

Pretty much.

[SK-1]

Why do I always think of this when Fantasy Football comes up?

Anyway... PM'ed!

[DannibusX]

Thanks for the hook up. Creamy Goodness is in the house. Was a tough decision between that and Frothy Discharge.

Yes that's exactly how it is. So you select all of your players in the draft, then you start whoever each week. Their stats are pretty much uploaded in real-time when the games are being played. If you like football it's very good fun.

We need 3 more people.

[JC316]

Sign me up then. YHPM.

[erocker]

Only two more teams are needed!

[paulieg]

Did we get the other two we needed?

I don't get Football at all. Must be a gene missing or something.

I tried watching american football, it was too slow paced. All that starting and stopping is really not worth staying up til 4am to watch. Same with football here, it's too boring.

The only sport I'd want to play is basketball, but none of my friends like it. I used to play football/soccer when I was younger and it's a lot more fun playing with 6-10 players on a basketball size court than 22 on a football field to keep the pace up.

[AthlonX2]

you all is going down to my awesome sauce

Oh man, Houshmandzedeh got cut today.

[erocker]

That's what he gets for taking A-Rod and Jerfinley early, to spite me. :p

[Reventon]

Who got Chris Johnson.

[JC316]

Who got Chris Johnson.

That would be Doninkansas. Lucky SOB wasn't even there last night (ch). I got the shaft in the draft, I was second to last to pick. That being said, I think I did OK.

[Reventon]

Lol CJ is going to rape kids. Hopefully. If he goes from a 2,000yd. year to a shit year, that would suck.

[JC316]

That is possible, but with Vince Young, Justin Gage, and Nate Washington being the offensive "Weapons" I can't see CJ rushing for less than 1500 yards.

I took Rashard Mendenhall because there wasn't a whole lot at RB and because with Big Ben and Byron out, I forsee a lot of carries and yards for him. I took a bit of a gamble on Dez Bryant, which I am hoping will pay off.

[Reventon]

Lol at Big Ben.

[erocker]

Mendenhall was a good pick. I picked him up late last year and he helped me win the whole thing. CJ is going to have a "sophmore slump" and will most likely get some sort of injury. You heard it here first.

[AthlonX2]

good thing i got the jets defense,they just signed darrell revis to a 7 year deal

[SK-1]

Looks like everyone was ready for NFL Football:eek:

The Vikings vs. Saints game was the most-watched NFL regular season game on any network in 14 years. It's also the best-ever rating for an NBC regular season football game.

Can't believe I missed the draft. Got busy and forgot all about it. Damn. Let's see what I can do with this mess.

WTF? How the hell do I add a free agent after I drop a player? Can't find it in a menu anywhere. My team blows....

[erocker]

Up top select "Players" then Player pool or best available.

[AthlonX2]

Beatdown!! I love you erocker

My team's like AIDS. You don't know you got beat until tomorrow night.

[TerriTsu]

You know what I don't get is how Dallas manages to have mass turnovers in their 2 first games and then they beat the Texans who at the beginning of the game have the No. 1 offense in the league..the Dallas D definitely showed up..it's just frustrating when that team has so much talent yet continue to make mistakes like that they won't go far. (Yes i'm a Dallas fan)

So am I. And yeah, they have the talent to go to the Superbowl, but they play dirty football. There is no other way to put it. When they play a clean game with no penalties, they are almost unstoppable.

The thing that PISSES me off is the illegal block to the back.... It's not that difficult a concept, you see the guys back, you DONT TOUCH HIM, yet the Cowboys continue to do it.

[JC316]

Me and Erocker had a nail biter going. Final score....

Erocker - 102.1

Me - 104.5

I should have lost that one. I mean, who expects the Chargers DST to put up 25 points for you?!?

[DonInKansas]

The Patriots D putting up 32 pwns that. Take that, Ricky. :)

If I wasn't an idiot and started Ahmad Bradshaw and Terell Owens I would of owned this game. I failed. BUt T.O. was somewhat injured.. had a big game anyways. With Bradshaw he hasn't been doing all that good all season and yet he goes off on the Bears defense. The whole reason I benched him was due to the Bears having the best run defense in the league. Not that day I guess. :/

[JC316]

Ugh, I got pwned last night. I won the battle with Linkin, but I think I lost the war when Romo got hurt. Oh and I have a heavyweight showdown with DoninKansas next week for the no.1 spot. My only consolation is that a bunch of Don's starters are going into the bye week.

[DonInKansas]

Yeah, because I'm afraid of a team full of Cowboys that are going to be playing with Jon Kitna. :D:D

[JC316]

Yeah, because I'm afraid of a team full of Cowboys that are going to be playing with Jon Kitna. :D:D

Well, he is Captain Checkdown, so Jason Witten should get some love. I have Reggie Wayne and Piere Garcon active, plus Dez Bryant had a monster week. My X factor is Donovan McShit at QB.

[JC316]

Well, I flat can't believe it. After starting worst in the league, Ricky is the league champion.

[erocker]

Bump. Sign up!

[SK-1]

I'll try again. Last season, my life had a few unexpected turns and I neglected my team.:(

[paulieg]

Just saw this. If spots are still open, I'm in. I'll join after work tonight.

Edit: I'm all in.

[erocker]

Even if you don't care much for Football, it's fun to play anyways. Sign up and give it a try! (poop)

[DannibusX]

How many slots do you need filled? I may or may not have time to keep a team up this year.

Nevermind, signed up.

[TheMailMan]

Is Dan Marino still open?

[erocker]

Is Dan Marino still open?

Sure.. and you best sign up.

WhiteLotus too.. I see you watchin'. You don't need to live in the states to play :D

[JC316]

CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! I missed the draft tonight. FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow... I actually did ok with the computer draft.

[erocker]

Lol, shit. I did too. Haven't been around tonight.

[paulieg]

Lol, shit. I did too. Haven't been around tonight.

Yup, me too. Luckily, the computer draft worked out pretty well for me, but damn, I do NOT want Tony Romo on my team. It's just not right!

[TheMailMan]

I did awesome!. I got Dan Marino, Jerry Rice, Jumbo Elliott, and Larry Csonka!

[JC316]

I will trade you. I think I have rothlesberger and Flacco.

OK. Let's do big Ben for Romo. (toast)

Done. Sent the proposal.

Accepted, and waiting for league approval. (toast)

[entropy13]

Since it's not that big of an issue really, so I'll post it here.

There are "penalties" for "excessive celebrations"? Like the other team starting nearer than usual or something? LOL

No wonder I read some comments saying NFL = No Fun League.

The excessive celebration rule is basically the Terrell Owens rule. After a touchdown, he would always have something completely excessive like running to midfield and placing the ball on the logo on the 50 yard line. The rule has been toned down by quite a lot now, it basically only happens if you use the ball as a prop, go to the ground in celebration, or have more than one person celebrating.

[erocker]

Anyone willing to get rid of a WR?

[JC316]

I have Brandon Marshall and Steve Breston, not interested in either.

LOL if such a rule is implemented in football, or at least some form of penalty is imposed...all goal scorers would be banned for the next game (or at least given a yellow LOL). There's even an Icelandic team that makes "artistic" goal celebrations.

It's mostly due to time constraints. Time is money and if you take away time by acting like a moron, they fine you money. Now, did you sign up or are you here so we can ridicule your lame-assed sport of soccer? Bunch of pussies kicking their balls around and acting like they get hurt from time to time.

[JC316]

Was in a hell of a shootout with Tyler tonight, but my team put up the top score so far at 158.8. My running backs let me down, but my wide receivers and tight end all put up fantastic numbers. Most fantasy analysts said to sit Jeremy Maclin, I disagreed and started him in place of Roddy White, he put up 172 yards and 2 touchdowns.

[JC316]

i am just sick off watching football...


Hmm, here is a thought... It's ground breaking.... You ready? Stop watching it...

[Mussels]

lol i was waiting for geboon to spam, he finally did

[JC316]

Mwhahahahaha! Arian Foster and the Jets DST screwed me over, but I still squeaked past Erocker.

[paulieg]

Damn. On paper, I have a pretty decent team, but really not performing right now. Looks like I'm gonna need to invest a little more energy, and find a new strategy.

[JC316]

Yeah, mine was like that too. I mean, I have Roddy White, Brandon Marshall, Jeremy Maclin, Vincent Jackson, and Steve Breston. Only one doing well is Maclin. Rob Gronkowski is saving my ass.

[DonInKansas]

Who'd have thought Fred Jackson would be a great auto-draft pick? :) Makes losing Charles for the season a bit more tolerable.

I play you this week and I am looking for some payback, you knocked me out of the playoffs last year. Problem is that half my guys are injured.

[JC316]

Bleh! Don shellacked me. fuckin Flacco put up 2.2 points... knew I should have started romo.

[DonInKansas]

Pwned. :D:D

[JC316]

Pwned. Top score over everyone.

[DonInKansas]

Nice work, third place. OH SNAP

[JC316]

Bleh! Lost a heart breaker to Paulieg. 2.3 points is what he beat me by. Damn Roddy White and his 21 yards...

[JC316]

Lol, I have Arian Foster and Demarco Murray... They combined for 72.7 points.

[JC316]

Well, congrats to Tyler for winning it. With Romo out, I am SCREWED, no chance.

[yogurt_21]

Damn. On paper, I have a pretty decent team, but really not performing right now. Looks like I'm gonna need to invest a little more energy, and find a new strategy.

Said Andy Reid of the Eagles.

[Reventon]

Pretty sure I'm the best fantasy player ever. I never changed my roster the entire season cause I didn't give a fuck and I still beat a couple people in my league of 12.

http://www.nfl.com/fantasy

anyone doing the fantasy playoff challange?

intersting rules,

no draft, keeping people on the roster mutiplies the pts by 2 for the 2nd week played, 3 for 3rd, and 4 for 4th. So essentially picking the correct superbowl team and playing them now gets you more pts.

They say you can even play players who have the bye this week just for the multiplication the 2nd week.

[Reventon]

LOL. I was way too busy the last couple of months to even pay attention.

Yeah I feel the same. I was really into fantasy two years ago, but the lockout kind of just ruined my interest in the NFL. The NBA, that's a different story, I couldn't wait for Christmas day.

http://www.8bitbrigade.com/images/smilies/954-not-sure-if-serious.jpg

so what you're saying is the nfl lockout turned you off of football but the nba lockout made you even more of a basketball fan?

That doesn't make any sense.

[paulieg]

I was talking specifically about fantasy football. I'm a diehard NFL fan. even when my team is terrible, I still watch at least 1 game on Sundays, and the rest of the day "NFL Redzone" is playing in the background. :D As for the NBA, Meh. I love college BB though.

[TheMailMan]

My fantasy football sucked this year. Not one TD.

[yogurt_21]

lol on the nfl playoff challenge for week 1 I netted 116 pts, good enough for 186,785th place.

So screw that crap, i'm going all niners in support of my team.
