Yea? Nay? Maybe?
It's about time to get a draft scheduled.
-
Count me in. I have a daughter agitating for team this year as well. I'll see if I can get my wife to co-captain it for her to avoid any suspicions of collusion.
-
if you need me to fill out your ranks with chattel, i'm around.
-
Fuck yes.
-
We've got seven players -- we need an even number to set the draft date. Who's the holdout?
-
afraid that might be me. my yahoo account got "recycled" and i can't create another one without giving them my cell phone number.
so, sorry fellas, but fuck yahoo. they're done with me? i'm done with them. sorry. good luck.
-
My 11 year old is petitioning hard to get a FF team. I promise no collusion if you will accept her application, other than teaching her how to play and talking football in general with her.
-
Oops. That was probably me. I don't really check email anymore. Fixed.
And I'm totally cool with Jaydub's kid joining up. But I think that means we'll need another team now.
-
My daughter wants to play too, so that gives us 10. Jaydub, can you get your daughter sign up tomorrow, I'll do the same and we can get a draft scheduled.
Next topic -- Nabu doesn't like having two QB's. I don't have a very strong opinion either way, but I do think that using two results in a scarcity of good replacement QBs if something happens to your first one. If we just use one each, that'll be the top ten QB's in play, leaving another 5 or 6 decent ones if you have an injury or something. If you use two per team, only the bottom 10 are left over. Also, higher scoring which is flashy.
Thoughts? I am not tied to any particular set up.
-
I like-a the one QB.
-
There didn't seem to be a way to join a private league from the main yahoo page. Maybe you need to send her an invite? I'll pm you her email address.
-
Yea? Nay? Maybe?
It's about time to get a draft scheduled.
Can we skip Fantasy football and do Magical Realism football this year instead? I'd like my team to ACTUALLY be the 49'ers, but I want them to cry tears during away games that bring back haunting memories of childhood friends and events from long ago. This will symbolize their longing for their childhood homes and preference for home games.
-
Is there any room left?
-
Is there any room left?
Yes, but it puts us at an odd number. Find one more player and you're both in.
-
Yes, but it puts us at an odd number. Find one more player and you're both in.
Got somebody. Your invite is on the way.
-
Thanks, I'm in.
-
Is it just me or do we still have an odd number of teams?
-
Is it just me or are we not drafting right now?
-
Looks like draft is Wednesday @ 3
-
If possible, I am in favor of moving it to tonight.
-
Agreed. Fantasy sports sites are blocked at work and data coverage can be spotty. But I'll work around it if tonight doesn't work.
-
We are stuck at 11 at the moment. I thought we had a 12th, and we still may. I have sent the e-mail invite to him twice.
If somebody else has a candidate, I'll send them an invite too and it's first come, first served as far as I'm concerned.
I just reset the draft for late on Wednesday to give us more time. We can reschedule it for whenever we want.
-
If we dont have head-to-head play, will an odd number work?
-
Agreed. Fantasy sports sites are blocked at work and data coverage can be spotty. But I'll work around it if tonight doesn't work.
Problem with moving it to tonight is that it'll be tough to get it late enough to satisfy you west-coasters. I don't want to go much later than 9 on the east coast, which is just 6 for you guys. But if 9 eastern 6 pacific is an improvement, let me know and I'll switch it.
-
Doesn't seem like anyone else is clamoring for it and having it in an hour gives me an excuse to get out of the office. I just hope the app doesn't give me any issues.
-
It shall remain as is!
-
I may well be auto-drafting, as I've got a gazillion meetings this afternoon. Don't worry about me though, stick with the current time if it works for everyone else.
-
ANOTHER CHANGE!!!
I can't logon to the draft application at work, and it seems my phone won't run the mobile app.
DRAFT IS NOW 9pm EDT/ 6PM PDT.
Sorry. I apparently can't organize a two car parade.
Nevermind. Too late.
Guess I'll autodraft.
-
I did absolutely terrible in the draft. Yahoo even felt it was imperative to send me a scorecard "D" to make sure I knew it. I look forward to canning most of my team.
-
I drafted two guys who'll be out most of the season.
-
I ran into a network problem with my work computer, so I had to decide which team I would pick manually on my cell phone. I had a draft order list that I gave to Yahoo for both my team and Kaitlin's. She had specific players she wanted though, so I manually picked hers (I think Hard Knocks has had undue influence on her - The Fighting Incognitos are Bengals heavy). Yahoo autopicked off the list I gave it and gave itself a good grade, despite picking Eli Manning. It was less enchanted with my work on Kaitlin's behalf, but that might be due to the Cincinnati players I was obligated to sign.
-
I fully autodrafted, and it gave me a B grade.
-
I got a C which, yahoo informs me, stands for champion.
I should have done a practice draft on my phone. And paid more attention to my pre-draft rankings. It's much harder to do some quick research on the phone.
-
I fully autodrafted, and it gave me a B grade.
I autodrafted in another league I'm in and it gave me a C+. It's like Yahoo is saying "Ha! That's what you get for trusting me. C+ asshole." Then Yahoo dances around me in a witch's hat, cackling manically and chanting C+, C+, C+. Just like Ralphie's teacher in A Christmas Story.
-
Who is Lucy and how much does she love peyton manning right now?
-
Who is Lucy and how much does she love peyton manning right now?
Lucy is my 22 year old daughter, and though she has had a crush on Peyton for years, I'm sure she appreciates him even more today.
Me too, because I have him in a different league.
-
Yeah, I got up this morning, saw that on ESPN, and went "Oh crap I bet I'm facing him in the fantasy league."
Fortunately I am not. Ash is the lucky winner of that prize.
-
Jesus, a career day on the opening day of your 16th season. First 7 touchdown performance by a QB since I was born. And an interesting, articulate, and informative post-game interview, seasoned with an unapologetic Louisiana drawl. I'm sure he's demanding to work with - I wonder what he said to Montee Ball after that botched run play in the 4th quarter.
-
Wait is this thread about shitting on Manning? Cause fuck that guy.
-
Wait is this thread about shitting on Manning? Cause fuck that guy.
That was a masterful performance. So much fun to watch. Peyton is DA MAN!!!
-
Just watched this for old times' sake (old times being January).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zce-QT7MGSE
Peyton must have had his potion last night.
-
Holy smokes! Trent Richardson went to Indy for a 1st round draft pick. Le-porkin has some thinking to do about whether to start him vs. the Niners this week. Although Yahoo still shows Richardson on Cleveland at this point - presumably they will get that sorted out by game day.
Its great news for the Colts since Ballard went down. I don't see what the Browns are getting out of it, unless Richardson is locker room poison which I haven't heard anything about.
-
They are starting over, wanted to the whole time, but waited two games. Going for number 1 pick next year and another pick in the top 15. Too bad their owner is scum, though it seems like maybe just stealing from other rich people? That makes him slightly better I guess?
-
Thanks? It would still be cool if they were good sometime soon.
-
After this weekend either carlos or I will still be undefeated. I've got an unreasonably strong line of receivers but no one to throw them the ball. Maybe RGIII will choose this weekend to unfuck himself. :-\
-
Unlike baseball, where I pretty much know what I'm doing, my football strategy is mostly "throw a bunch of guys out there and see what happens." I have no idea how I'm undefeated so far.
(I know my 5th-place regular season finish and sub-.500 record in baseball doesn't really look like "I pretty much know what I'm doing." But the strategy was "Be just good enough to make the playoffs, then knuckle down." If I'd paid as much attention during the regular season as I have during these playoffs, I'd have finished higher for sure.)

http://touamb.com/index.php/topic,6424.msg199155.html#msg199155
-
My team is evidence that despite my attempts to educate myself, I have no fuck*ng idea what to do in fantasy football.
-
Gotta love checking your team Sunday morning and discovering you need to replace your entire wide receiver corps.
-
Mother of fuck. Go Hawks!
On a sour note, I spent a half hour this morning debating whether to start Jennings or Alshon Jeffery. Felt good about both. Stuck with Jennings, which turned out to not be a terrible call. Never did it cross my mind to bench Nicks or Stevie Johnson for Jeffery. Jesus. There went at least 20 points I really needed.
-
I'm pretty sure Nicks can safely be benched or dropped without concern until the Giants figure out what they are doing. If something good comes up on the waiver wire, I'm dropping Manning.
-
Did Manning get benched yesterday?
-
Not in the real world. Just on my fantasy team. I put Flacco in instead, and while he wasn't very good, at least he didn't earn me negative points the way Manning has twice this year. I don't think he is a bad quarterback; his offensive line cannot keep the defense off of him and his receivers aren't catching what is thrown to them - or at least preventing the defensive backs from intercepting the balls. New York has no running game, so the defenses they are facing know the odds on any given play are for a pass which allows them to tee off on the QB and shut down the receivers.
-
Does anyone else think the new Yahoo! logo is a rip off of Revlon's logo? Also btw I'm kicking all of your asses.
-
Yeah, only because I had to completely rebuild my wide receivers last week. (I also blame Santana Moss.)
And I had to do it again this week. yay
-
I just got knocked out of my eliminator pool, apparently because Yahoo didn't register my selection. I swear I put in Atlanta. And in any event, that game hasn't happened yet, so I should STILL be able to pick Atlanta. But nooooooooooo. BOO TO THAT.
-
Likewise, somehow Yahoo failed to recognize that I had subbed Charles Clay in for Gronk. In our league, it doesn't matter because it looks like Nabu was too busy to adjust his roster (or perhaps was glitched as well), but in another Yahoo league I am going to lose this week because I had the same Gronk/Clay sub going on.

Yeah, never mind.

Tony fuck*ng Romo. What an asshole.

I think he's a great guy. Meanwhile the biggest contender to my undisputed reign is a little girl named Kaitlin.
-

I'll warn you up front that she is not a graceful winner.
-
Yeah, never mind.
Speaking of...
They are starting over, wanted to the whole time, but waited two games. Going for number 1 pick next year and another pick in the top 15.
To be fair, I think that was their idea?
-
The projected score (for the moment) for my matchup with AW this week is 147.25 - 146.77.
-
Yeah I'm going to smash that little girl kaitlin as long as all of my players show up to the game. I will then be 6-0.
In other news, I volunteered to work at the super bowl with "guest assistance". Tickets are going for about $3500 and I'm going to be there for free telling people where the concessions stands are.
-
I was struggling with whether to sit Eli this week. Looks like I made the right call. That team is going absolutely nowhere.
-
Who has Peyton? That guy's blowing up!
-
Lucy has him.
-
How about them Texans. The fans have gotten all defensive. They're all, we've got to rally around the team, boys. So much disappointment in the air.
I think this (https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/1381423_342898275854124_1800533474_n.jpg) pretty much sums it up.
-
I was really pulling for Houston today, for Bum, but mostly because fuck Kansas City (I really like their QB and coach, but fuck the AFC West), and they came really close. That would have been a great tribute. Still, Case had a really impressive debut, and I imagine Houston fans are feeling good about such a strong effort in a very hostile environment against one of the best teams in the league.
Except, yikes, couple scary injuries. Hopefully nothing too bad.
-
My boy Case really did well. He needs to do a better job of reading the defense though. Nice first start. I told people I would root for the Texans if Keanam was playing. Never thought it would actually happen though.
-
I am just hoping stat corrections don't screw me for the 3rd time this year.
-
I am just hoping stat corrections don't screw me for the 3rd time this year.
I lost one week because of corrections too. That kinda sucked.
-
Ash & Lucy squeaked past or I'd be 4-2 at this point, with the 3rd lowest Points-For. My team has ended up being so much weaker than draft day predicted.
-
THA SUGAH RAIN PAIN TRAIN will go 8-0 this week despite RGIII throwing up negative points. Next week my team is basically taking a bye and eggman will ruin my beautiful record.
-
So I need a safety to put up 10 points. That could happen, right? One pick-six would just about do it.
-
Earl Thomas has put up 11, 9.5, 9.5, and 14 points over the last 4 weeks, so yes, it is certainly possible.
-
The most awesome nail-biting Monday night football game I can remember for fantasy purposes was in my pre-TOUAMB league. I had a two-point lead going into Monday night, but my opponent had his kicker still available. So one field goal and it's over. Doomed, right? That team (I think it was the Titans) scored exactly one touchdown all night, so he only got one point for the XP and I ex-scaped with a win. And yes I watched MNF in its entirety that night.
-
So I need a safety to put up 10 points. That could happen, right? One pick-six would just about do it.
You didn't get 10 points. You got 11.
-
You didn't get 10 points. You got 11.
So you're saying this one goes to 11?
-
Precisely. Earl Thomas goes to 11. w00t
-
I am thoroughly heartened at the Niners' prospects of beating Seattle at Candlestick. Seattle's O-Line looks like it has major problems, and its a safe bet that if the game came down to 4 cracks at the goal line from 1 yard out, Gore & Co. would be up to the challenge.
-
Earl Thomas can eat a bowl of dicks.
(http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0sujhZ24z1rrdywqo1_400.gif)
It seems I have become Ash's fantasy sports nemesis. I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it.
-
Man, if Schaub wasn't already out of a job, I imagine he is now. Keenum is fuck*ng impressive.
-
He's been really good in the first half of both of his starts, but the defense starts to figure him out in the second half. He's got a ways to go. Definitely the Texans kicker is out of a job.
-
Yeah, spoke a bit too soon. I feel like I jinxed him. Damn it!
-
Also, where the fuck did Nick Foles come from? I mean I know the Raiders are bad, but still. 7 TDs and no picks. Really impressive performance. Anybody here own him?
Ham Sammies... that's gotta hurt. You benched him in favor of Pryor. Not a bad call this morning probably, but ouch.
-
You ain't kidding. Had I played him, I would actually have had a chance to beat the Muttoneers. Sat Cameron Wake in favour of Adrian Clayborn as well (on the assumption that lots of Marshawn Lynch would provide lots of tackle opportunities).
-
Even with this kind of determination, he still fucked me out of a possible win.

Muttoneers gave me shit all weekend because I didn't replace Karlos Dansby. I told him I had faith that I could win without him. And I did, by .99, baby! What was the spread, anyway?
-
The deal is not sealed till Thursday when stat corrections are applied.
-
Just like my Seahawks I pull off an improbable late comeback against a team I was favored to beat pretty soundly.
-
As of last night I was the 80% favorite to win this week's matchup. Then 62% of my team decided to put up less than 50% of their anticipated points and I am now the 100% loser.

And 100% tied for first place.
(Of course, winning first place in the regular season has no correlation to success in the playoffs, as we've seen time and again.)
-
Yeah, tell me about it. The first solid year I have in fantasy baseball I end the regular season in first place and fuck up the playoffs.
-

Me at fantasy football:

Dude, you've won our league twice. Cry me a river.
-
VONTAAAAAAAAAZE BURFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICT
(If he does not shout his own name Leeroy Jenkins-style every time he makes a big play, he's not taking full advantage.)
-
Thank god, that was close.
-
Jacksonville suddenly discovering how to play run defense, and the KC D being mortal against Manning made me come up short. Gronk did what I needed him to - although that last play of the game would have put me over the top had he been able to make the catch. Actually, that play sunk me in 2 leagues - this one and in another where my opponent had the Carolina D and won by 1.5 points (2 points for the interception).
-
I suspect the only people who like Belichick are Pats fans. Although among them are those who still feel the sting of betrayal from Belichick throwing Bledsoe out in favour of shiny Tom Terrific.
-
Following the games this weekend was fun because even with 4 players still in the game, yahoo fantasty sports called me the 100% favorite to win. Yahoo fantasy sports told asherdan that not even an act of god could save his team.
-
Three weeks to go in the regular season. No playoff spots clinched yet, but Tha Sugah Rain and Banana Town will each do so with one more win.
Owensboro and Magreaux Dogs currently sitting 3 and 4, MJW one game behind them, and the Monkeys and Incognitos two games out.
-
I'm going to abandon my current approach and start gearing for the playoffs. I want a really good game at the superbowl, because like I said, I will be there as staff.
The pre-organizational meeting was full of people who found the link to the Welcoming Committee on facebutt and so I was 'elected' some kind of leader. Lord knows ACAP loves nothing more than herding a bunch of cats.

-
Haha. As flawed as the idiot who put it together, evidently.
-
Let's review week 13.
- Sugah Rain and Banana Town both lose, so still no playoff spots clinched.
- Big win for Magreaux Dogs to go to 9-4 and take sole possession of third place.
- MJW also gets a big win. Owensboro loses. They're tied at 8-5. MJW currently holds the tiebreaker (total points scored) so they're #4 at the moment. Owensboro has tha Sugah Rain this week so that's a big match-up.
- Lygars were eliminated from playoff contention with their loss. Incognitos and Monkeys holding on hope at 7-6.

My dumb superstitious attitude toward sports came through in a big way. I benched Brees in favor of Wilson, I think for only the second time this year, because I thought it would be bad luck to start Brees. Not only did it end up not hurting me, it gave me the total point tiebreaker.
-
Brees vs. Wilson is a hell of a good problem to have. I've got Matt Ryan and Philip Rivers, and considering how often they've both sucked this year I'm astonished my record is as good as it is.
-
- Lygars were eliminated from playoff contention with their loss. Incognitos and Monkeys holding on hope at 7-6.
Kaitlin grasped this implication immediately this morning. On top of observing that my team is an also-ran.
-
This one (http://youtu.be/kxv4hOpbFEQ) comes in courtesy of our long lost friend AlohaDawg.
-
Week 14!
- Banana Town def. Incognitos 164-155 to get to 11-3, take sole possession of first place, and clinch a playoff spot.
- Owensboro 132, Sugah Rain 120. Owensboro still in 5th but in realistic striking distance. Banana Town vs. Sugah Rain next week, winner probably gets the #1 seed (which we all know means fuck all in this league).
- Magreaux Dogs win to get to 10-4. Could actually clinch #1 seed next week if everything goes right. Neither the Dogs or the Rain have clinched playoff spots yet, but they'd need to lose next week AND have MJW and Owensobo win AND have both those teams overtake them on total points, so they're probably gonna make it.
- MJW wins easily to stay in 4th. Need to win next week and stay ahead of Owensboro on total points (currently up by 16 and change) to clinch a spot.
- Incognitos and Ham Sammiches eliminated from playoff contention. Venomous Monkeys technically not eliminated, but would have to outscore the other contenders by 300 points this week.
Good luck everybody!
-
BABY IM BACK
-
And the regular season endeth like so:
- Tha Sugah Rain defeats Banana Town to clinch a playoff spot, reclaim a share of first, and take the tiebreaker over BT on total points. Banana Town, having already clinched a playoff spot, doesn't get too upset.
- But what's this?! Magreaux dogs put up 217 points to also get to 11-4 and vault both TSR and Banana Town to take the #1 seed. Everyone feel bad for Ham Sammiches, who had the second-highest score in the league this week, and lost.
- MJW and Owensboro both win; MJW has a higher overall point total, so they get the last playoff spot. 10-5 is a pretty good record, but the defending champ still ends up on the outside looking in.
Semi-final matchups:
(1) Magreaux Dogs (AW) vs. (4) Malcolm Jamal Warner (Miles)
(2) THA SUGAH RAIN (A-Cap) vs. (3) Banana Town Beers (Carlos)
This is, I think, as evenly matched a playoff field as we've ever had. I have no freakin' idea who's going to win this thing. Good luck everybody.
-
BABY IM BACK
IN SECOND.

F'in Jamaal Charles.
-
I remember him getting taken in the draft right before I was going to select him. Probably didn't actually happen that way, but that's how I remember it.
-
Jeez, glad I watched SportsCenter this morning, as the Saints just released their (my) kicker.
-
Semi-final point differentials and remaining players going into Monday night:
Magreaux Dogs +10: Frank Gore (RB-SF)
MJW: Michael Crabtree (WR-SF)
Banana Town +29: Steven Jackson (RB-ATL)
Sugah Rain: SF Defense
ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN
(at zombo.com)
-
Because MD started the AZ defense and I started Russell Wilson, that fuckin' bullshit interception hurt me twice as bad.
-
Semi-final results:
Banana Town 147, Tha Sugah Rain 121. WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?!?
Magreaux Dogs 139, MJW 126. This was real close for a while last night when Crabtree caught a few passes, but then Gore scored a TD and it was pretty much over.
So we get a rematch of the baseball final, yours truly vs. AW. Or if you will, "So, Egg Man, we meet again, but this time the advantage is MINE!"
note: I have no particular advantage
MJW vs. TSR for third place. And for whatever reason, it's amid the chaos and uncertainty of the last week of the NFL regular season. There's enough teams that still have something to play for that hopefully nothing too weird happens. Good luck all!

Literally gone. I dumped that whole program. My bonus will comfort the pain, but the social media model is gone forever.

What the devil is the social media model of fantasy football? Do you track the habits of players on twitter to estimate their readiness and fitness? Do you crowd source your roster decisions?
-
From what I gather, it was more of the latter. I think it helped him draft too.

I tried to adapt a program that searches for keywords. Stocktwits, CNBC, a few bots that monitor bloomberg channels, and some other message boards provide the inputs for that. There are a hundred different message boards and tweeters talking about their fantasy roster I can draw from. But just like with the original program you have to make a judgement call. Too many people talking about RGIII fucked my data.
-
Congrats to AW, who wins the football champeenship 154-115, and achieves the double by winning the football and baseball leagues in the same year.
Second place is the best ever finish for Banana Town.
A-Cap takes third over Miles 106-100. Third time in the top three for A-Cap, but no titles.
Good season y'all.
-
Sorry about that
Marv Levy, uh, Mr. Mayor.
Good season, everybody. Just a couple months til baseball starts back up!

Yeah, I liked Posnanski's take on it too. I kind of raised an eyebrow at Sherman's rant last night, but I'm not going to take it too seriously or demand that he live up to some mythical standard. I find it curious that we always complain about how inane post-game interviews are, and then when there's one that's actually somehow interesting, we find fault with it.
-
Don't get me started on the Sherman hate. This is what I posted:
Also, it's football, folks. Grown men in tights chasing millions of dollars and a weirdly shaped ball around a field, and everyone involved taking it WAY too seriously. What do you expect? Don't expect diplomacy. Not everyone is Russell Wilson
-
Also, that article is brilliant. Someone on this board turned me on to Posnanski a few years ago and I thank you again.
