The NFL Thread - 2007-08 style!!!

[ManNamedTruth]

Sadly, saving for a miracle, there will be too much of this in New York this year....

Now that Tiki is gone, everyone will realize the true genius of Jim Finn.

 result: years of success for the chargers and years of turmoil for the giants. that will go down as the worst trade in nfl history

uh, not to mention ben setting all kinds of rookie records and winning a super bowl in his second season. i know how much it hurts you to think about that  ;)

Is he on IR?

I think so....
just Jacobs and Droughns.

Damn, you're right, Finn is on IR. He gets a first down every time he touches the ball... which is only like 10 times a season haha.

Hopefully Jacobs can continue to improve. He did well the 2nd half of last season.

Although overall I'm not really looking forward to this season. :-/

Fantasy league anyone?

if someone sets it up I'd definitely be down!

i'll set one up, but when does it work to draft for everyone?? i would rather draft during the day, because sometimes i work at night. also i don't want to draft too early, because people could still get hurt. i'm thinking maybe in a week or so.....

[.Walt]

Alright, i set a league up! here's how it is right now (it can be change)

Where do I go to log in?
I just googled Fantasy Football and couldn't decide if I should go to the NFL site or the ESPN site.
I'm completely new to all of this, so bare with me.  :)

[.Walt]

Alright. I think I'm in. It's looks like 2 other folks are as well. I'm the Dirty South Heat.

Like I said, I'm new to all of this, so I gotta look over all the rules and shit, but we're gettin' ready to leave for the mountains in the morning so I gotta help out with that.

I'm pretty excited about this!

Very cool of you.  I'm in.  The site says the draft is at 3 p.m. though - 2 or 3 work for me.

[aMD]

i'd like to be in but that time is no good for me.  i hate to be selfish but could everyone do the same time on saturday instead of friday? i'll still be at work.  :-/

[corey]

I think I'm good for Friday or Saturday unless something comes up between now and then.

[corey]

Nice name, aMD.  :)

Mine came from the fact that it's so damn hot down here. 9th day in a row over 100 degrees. Tomorrow should be number 10.

thanks.  8-)

i really hope we can switch times.  i've never done fantasy before, but i think it'll be fun.

It will ruin your life - but in a odd, happy sort-of way.  I'd prefer Friday because I'm at work, but I realise that most might have other eyes peering over their shoulders to make sure that there is some form of productivity going on at the workplace.  I should be able to swing the Saturday though.

[aMD]

sweet, well that's three out of four that can swing saturday.  i can't really get to a computer at work.  i don't think my principal would like me giving my 3rd graders busy work so that I could draft my fantasy football team. actually, how long will this take, because my break is at 3:00-3:35 and then we dismiss at 3:50 so if it starts at 3:00 eastern time I may be able to swing it.

Tripps, thanks for setting this up!  I guess you're The Jacket?

3 or 3:30 eastern (I forgot the MMJ world operates on the vastly superior Central Time) on Friday would be perfect for me.

[aMD]

I can do 3 on Friday as long as the draft doesn't last more than a half hour?  anyone know how long these things last?  i'm going to be busy from 3:35-3:55.

[Jon T.]

They are usually significantly more than 30 minutes.  And I don't mean any offense by this but with some never doing it before it'll make it even longer.

[aMD]

okay, then either i'm going to have to take a break for about 20 minutes, we're going to have to change to saturday, or i'll just have to sit out. :-/

[bowl of soup]

I'd say with a ten team league it'll take about 2 hours.
