FANTASY FOOTBALL 2012

[Jon T.]

Oh, I wasn't aware of the protocol! 

Since I am dropping half my team and picking up new players, the new and improved Rock Rollers will be rolling over the MoFos this week for sure.

Shah, and monkeys might fly out of my butt.

Nice job by Yahoo proclaiming Ruckus' team as the best draft!!!

Hmmm. I wonder if those projections were before my brilliant additions.  I think Randall Cunningham is gonna be much better than Wilson was last week, I was happy to get him off the waiver wire...

[Clarkwork]

I like those projections. But I got the boners this weekend. Hoping the boner goes soft!

[mind at large]

those projections are a farce...it is more likely that sandusky was innocent than JerrysTickleMonstars goin 6-5 the next 11 games.

I didn't know anything about IDP leagues going into this, but I do know how to read a weekly rankings list.  How is it that a guy, J.Allen, can be listed in the top 3 at DE each week, and yet give me zero points 2 out of three weeks?  Not even an assisted tackle?  I realize his forte is sacks, and if he doesn't get them he won't be great, but not even a tackle?  Jeez...

My bad, appearently he picked up 3 points in the last few minutes.  Spectacular!

[Clarkwork]

I had Allen last year and he was a beast for me

[Penny Lane]

Scotty--did you get my money?

bbill---so close!

[pawpaw]

Scotty--did you get my money?

bbill---so close!

Cap, I'll paypal my money tonight!

Penny, that was a close'n! How's it going, btw? 

I have no idea how I'm 4-0. Well, actually I do: luck. 

[capt. scotty]

Just posted this on yahoo, but I did get the money from Penny, Hawkeye, and.... BBill's wife 

Hawkeye and Penny's are charging a $1.03 on my end though, but that just means slightly less on the payouts I guess

Still need payment from aMD and JerryTickleMonsters/Mind At Large. Dont know if you saw my post over there, but please pay ASAP. I will lock your team starting after Week 7 if you dont, ie you get 0 points and an auto loss. This shouldnt be this difficult!!

Dude, what can I say, my wife is awesome.

Id certainly have to agree!

[exist10z]

Maybe if someone gets locked out and takes a zero, I'll actually get a win!

Not that I'm bitching (yes, I am), but my team has been favored to win each of the first five weeks, and has underperformed expectations each week.  Obviously I am aware that the projections made at yahoo, or any other fantasy site for that matter, are worthless, but you'd think I might have pulled out one of the games.

A dash of bad luck, a truckload of underperforming players, and the ire of the fantasy gods, does not a prospective mix make.

[Hawkeye]

Sometimes I think it's nearly all luck dude.  I could easily be 4-1 right now.  First week I got my arse kicked by Scotty.  Next 2 weeks I lost by a combined 3 points (approximately)...now, suddenly my team is on fire.  I could have scored over 230 points in week 4 

Hey, I tried to trade you for BJGE or Sproles or one of your under-performing running backs a few weeks back!

Im am just going to re-iterate this again.

I made my first post about this on the yahoo league site Sept. 28th and said I would lock teams "in a couple weeks". I made it more clear last week that I will lock teams after week 7. While I dont want to do this as it creates an unfair advantage on a given week, you dont deserve to be playing at that point if you havent paid. We're halfway thru the season already when it comes to fantasy, you 2 should have paid by now as everyone else has in the league.

Id appreciate it if other people in the league agree with me on this stance. Ive been in leagues where this has been done, myself as a non-payer, and its the only way to really give those people a kick in the ass to pay up. I think Ive been more than fair so far with my warnings.

i don't want to see anyone get locked out, but rules are rules. This is not 'Nam.  Can we at least get some communiacation from those that haven't paid (I'm working on it, I'll get you next week, etc...)
Didn't we have someone that refused to pay up front last year? 

[exist10z]

Not that I should care, since at 0-6 I am not going to be winning anyway, but that seems reasonable.

Couldn't even beat a team that didn't field a full line-up this week, now that's bad!  Oh well, I'll play out the string and keep trying to make my team better, just for the integrity of the league, but that same integrity means getting your funds in on time.

[pawpaw]

This is not 'Nam.
