Fantasy Football 2008

I heard from Dylan again. He got the login stuff figured out. The E in the password has to be capital at the beginning. I didn't think it mattered when I set it up.

I have the draft schedule for Wednesday, August 13th at 6:30 PM central. Will that work for everyone, or should I push it back another week?

would the next week be a problem?

[corey]

I don't think so. It should be fine. The following Wednesday, the 20th, works for me if everyone is cool with that. Does 6:30 PM central work?

[bowl of soup]

I'm cool with either date.  I'd prefer earlier; the earlier the better.  Whatever works for everyone else.  You can pre-rank your players in this league and the computer will draft for you if you can't make it for some reason.

[Crispy]

Can we push the date back to whenever the Brett Favre debacle is going to get resolved? ;)
Actually, either time works for me too.

[Jon T.]

Any date works for me.  I have been blocked from this site as well as any site that has any variation of the word "sports".  Sonsabitches are on to me.  So, afternoon is best for me.

[corey]

Cool. I'll go ahead and move it to the 20th at 6:30 Central time sometime this evening.

i incorporated my screen name into my name, hope nobody's confused  ;)

[corey]

hahaha! Clever.

I officially rescheduled the draft for the 20th. Word!

Me and Dylan are matched up for the first week. I'm pretty sure that's how I started last year as well.

[Killgies]

I just signed up earlier today. The draft date works fine for me. The bad thing is I had to create a new user account for Yahoo. It will only let you have 4 Fantasy football teams under one account. argh. ( I know it's sad)

:D

thanks, i just want to be off from work for the draft and needed some more notice.

thanks corey for setting this thang up.

yeah i haven't been here in awhile. wednesday the 20th works for me, but maybe you could move the draft time back. I'm leaving Omaha that day, so i'm not really sure when i'll be back in Minny. (Going to see the MMJ on 19th) 7:30-8 o'clock should be great for me.

[corey]

It's officially changed to 7:30 Central time for the 20th. No more changes.  :)

Also, I saw the recommendation about having 2W/R slots as being too much since we have 12 players. Should I drop that and add 1 defensive player to each team ? Any other suggestions?

I almost added one defensive player the other day, but decided to leave things as they were. I don't really know how 1 defensive player would factor in if we already have an entire defense picked.

[corey]

So now we need:

K
Bama37
Capt Headdy

Those are the only 3 that haven't signed up. Bama37 is off work today, so he'll probably sign up at some point today. Has Capt Headdy been on the board in a few days?

[Killgies]

crazy format for the positions.  Why not standard yahoo format? It works just fine for 12 team leagues.
or

qb
rb
rb
wr
wr
wr
flex (rb/wr)
te
k
Def

[corey]

That's pretty much what we have, right?
I set it up the same way we had it last year.

QB
2 WR
2 RB
2 W/R
TE
K
DEF
5-6 BN

Walt suggested losing 1 of the W/R positions since there are 12 teams instead of 10 this year.

[EAZYE]

The 20th is my 28th birthday so if you guys want to let have first pick that would be cool with me ;D  Just kidding nothing to celebrate anymore besides that fact that my body doesn't quite respond the way it used to :-/   I like the idea of adding one defensive player though, be it a linebacker, corner, or d end

[corey]

Happy early Birthday. Maybe it'll swing in your favor and you'll get first pick. You have a 1 out of 12 chance.  :)

Y'all let me know what you think about that extra slot. I'm still a little confused about it all.

[ManNamedTruth]

i liked how we had it last year, but that was my first time playing.

[Jon T.]

I see Walt's point.   The talent will run a little thin filling those spots with two more teams.  I can go either way with that but I vote to leave the defense the way it is.
