1st game of season is Sept 4th, a Thursday night. I will be out of country and not internet connected (by design) from Aug 6th through Aug 27.
With those two facts established, either replace me in the league or delay draft until August 28th.
I rarely (today is first time in 3/4 months) check into the Guru boards, so please e-mail me what pleases the league. I am OK with whatever is decided. I would even delegate drafting of my team to some one else..if you have any ideas about who, please let me know. |

Can I get a final word if a trade can be made or at minimum a non snake.

Gator:
It is a non-snake draft. It looks like you get the first pick and the 13th pick, etc. There are a lot of good players in the draft plus all of the rookies. Also, every week the team with the worst record gets the first pick of waivers. Every week. After awhile your team will get better. And the top teams get the last pick of waivers. So, you can improve your team a lot.
I would think it's too late to be making trades. I wanted to make some. It was hard to determine who was getting cut, and who was even in the league, and the deadline got moved up with scant notice.
That's how this league runs, though. Welcome.

Well, officially, according to the website we can make changes to keepers and lineups up to 1 hour before draft...
But i don't know how strict / non strict the rules are of the league, as I'm not commish... I'm just helping. :)

You used to not be able to enter the draft until an hour before or less. Also, you may need a different browser. I remember having problems with internet explorer.

Please double check settings:
Non-snake
draft order not random, worst team first
keepers will go away
Thanks,
Once draft starts, no changes can be made.
Also, this is a PPR league. You get one point just for catching a pass.

Perturbed is going up against Tree without the QB I traded away from him, namely Drew Brees who is on a bye.
More perturbed is when my two favs on the WW to replace him, Locker and Palmer prolly won't play this week.
Happiness is already getting 42.5 pts from my kicker, defensive lineman and one LB.

My other league only has 4 playoff slots and I needed to beat the guy I was playing. He only had 3 losses and I gave him one of those. I have 200+ points so far this week. Unfortunately he has 250+. So close...so far.

Tree:
To be fair if your team scored more points you would have still made the playoffs.
If they played every team every week, Jam Block Kill Chop would be 69-63.
Astade would be 85-47 if they played every team every week.
If they played every team every week, VampireWeekend would be 74-58.
++ungood would be 46-86 if they played every team every week.
Weykool would be 75-57 if they played every team every week.

Here is what my report said after I played Astade.
Five of the seven losses for Astade this season have come when their opponent had their highest-scoring week of the season.
That's rough.

It's shaping up to be an ignominious loss for Weykool after a pretty good year for him.
Kind of a waste for my default team to be in the playoffs and then to actually do some damage, since I don't really have a chance to go all the way.
My team situation is so bad I'm seriously considering keeping Christine Michael even without any solid reason to think he starts next year. Giving up on Gronkowski has been an unmitigated disaster.
My high scorer today...Jonathan Stewart.
Weykool's top scorer...Pierre Garcon.
It's been that crazy!

Last two weeks Graham put up a total of 5.50 points.
So much inconsistency its hard to make the right decisions.
Cam putting up almost 40 but averaged less than 15 points his prior 6 games.
Congrats on the victory.

I probably started with the worse team in the history of fantasy football but really enjoyed the challenge. I do a lot of daily fantasy sports and one of my Ventrilo buddies even won 10k 3 weeks ago. I had Graham on just about every team and he cost me 1000s of dollar. I still cashed on 17 teams even with that slug. My buddies kept telling me he is not right but I read where he said it was not affecting his pass catching. The SOB lied, he is not right.

I cut him after the byes were gone. That was only decent game in awhile. I would rather have Cutler as he is more consistent.Plus, as a Gator fan, I cannot have that hoodlum on my team. His display last week only increases my dislike for him.

I like this for next week...the 7-8 Saints go into Atl next week still alive in the playoff hunt.
Go Brees and Thomas! Something to play for!
In other news I take my lowly 7-6 [now 9-6] team against the recently 6-7 [now 8-7] Astade team for the championship.
Definitely not a round ball.

With 30 seconds left, Alshon Jeffery catches a meaningless 7 yard TD pass. That's worth 7.7 points for Baldwin. Final score was 151.2 to 144.17, a difference of 7.03 points. I wasn't watching this at the time, which is good, because I have a new TV.

I feel for yah. We all realize just how good you managed this year and just how outstanding your team is. I'm still smarting about having dropped Moncrief and you having taken him before I could change my mind.
Not to rub salt in the wound, but were you aware Julio Jones was out when you decided to play Josh Gordon instead of Harry Douglas? Not a Josh Gordon fan this year.

B7: Same thing about a minute earlier.
Ingram doing nothing and the Saints just trying to run clock and Ingram scores on a 15 yard run.
Lost by .78.
Not that anyone cares about the 5th place game.

They got that meaningless TD with 1:47 left. That was the only TD out of 6 TD's that did not involve one of Baldwin's players. He got 78 points on Sunday and 73 on Monday.

Interesting.
The announcers said Manning had 5 interceptions while Yahoo has him with only 4.
We could have a change in championship with a stat correction.

Gratz, Astade! Exciting to the last. An awful lot of teams won it all on the back of Beckham.
If he scores under 30 or Drew Brees had been Drew Brees...whatchagonnado?
