Fantasy Football '12

[bobert]

I feel like everyone who participated and managed their team last year should have a reserved place this year. I also thought Fourthisto was a good commish and I'd nominate him again unless he'd like someone else to take the reigns.

[TickleMeElmo]

I was thinking about this the other day. Totally in. Any rule changes to propose. I can't remember but was the league PPR? If not it should be.

I don't care one way or another about PPR, but I definitely think our trade policy should be different this year. Since 90% of trades are fairly straightforward, the Commissioner should approve all trades and only in cases of suspected collusion or in a situation where the competitive balance of the league would be upset (i.e. a team that is already out of playoff contention trading with a top-tier team) should it be brought to a vote before the league. That way trades can be made later in the week and the players can be made available immediately (if approved.) Last year I traded Aaron Hernandez for Antonio Gates on a Wednesday afternoon and I wasn't even able to use Gates that weekend because I had to wait and see if anyone objected. That's nonsense.

[TickleMeElmo]

I think I was the one doing that trade with you too

Also I propose that 6 teams make the playoffs for the final 3 weeks, not 4 for the final two. Top 2 seeds get byes on week 14.

I like that as well.

I love this idea.

EDIT: I also love Bobby for starting this thread.

As soon as we get a roll call of all the knuckleheads we should try and decide on a draft date sooner rather than later. It seems like Yahoo gets more and more traffic every year and many of the prime evenings get booked pretty quick.

If there is enough interest for two leagues, I wouldn't mind hosting a 2nd one with an Auction Draft.

[Riggins33]

Ohh man I cant imagine playing fantasy with all you nerds, I would go undefeated....You smelly hippies should leave the sports to guys like me..

Since Faxman didn't draft and didn't manage his team, I think his spot should be up for grabs. I nominate ThomThom.

[gillster17]

If there are any openings I would love a chance to get in one!

[Aphxtwinin]

I would like to join in if possible! I'm active the whole season.

[buddy]

Sure, count me in again

[gillster17]

Do you guys do a prize or a buy in?

[theklein25]

I would love to join. I'm very active when it comes to fantasy sports.

[BlueDevil50]

Auction draft would be awesome...totally in for that.

[TickleMeElmo]

We could do either a second auction league or do a deluxe league on myfantasyleague.com. It would include 24 teams divided by two divisions, each with their own separate rosters but joint playoffs, as in top 4 teams from both divisions (total of 8) square off in weeks 14-16.

I think two leagues would be better. I don't like the idea of possibly playing a team that has the same players as me.

Also, Wes, should you decide to start a separate auction league, I would be in for that as well.

[buddy]

Did we ever get a picture with Wes and the trophy?

[ManImCool]

Count me in as confirmed from last year's league.

[ManImCool]

Oh and I remember there was talk last year of increasing the buy in fees to $30, such that with a 12 man league that we had last year the winner (takes all) basically gets their Coachella ticket for free. I think the buy in last year was $10?

I'm also for fourthisto to be the commish again, if he's willing.

Sounds good to me. With that amount should second place at least get something? Like $30 - break even?

So I don't get counted in the "New Interest" category?!

edit: Thank You kind sir

[Riggins33]

I would play in this but I'm gonna give you hipsters a couple of years to study the names of players and the game a little more. I think it's cute that you guys try to play fantasy football, Especially Bobert.

[ManImCool]

Some of us aren't hipsters. Some of us wear football jerseys when we fist pump in the Sahara.

Well I'm claiming my spot before its too late. Also for Fourthisto and upping the buy in.

On a scale of Gabbert to Brady, how much are you dying to get into this league?
