Quote of the day
"Coming back from a concussion isn't like coming back from a sprained ankle or a bad shoulder or a pulled hamstring. Some of those things you can tough out. You can't tough out a concussion." -- Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz, on whether RB Jahvid Best will be able to play on Sunday Daily blurb
If past is prologue, then the World Series is almost done. According to ESPN, ”Game 1 has been an indicator of success in recent decades: The winner has captured seven of the last eight titles, 12 of the last 14 and 19 of the last 23. In addition, the team hosting Game 1 has won 20 of the last 25 World Series.” Tough luck, Ranger fans. On to football. In spite of limited responses, I decided to go ahead and set up a cheap player league on FireLeague Football. Here are the parameters: Register at FireLeague.com, and then sign up for a free team for the “Salary Cap Football Standard” game.When promopted to join a league, join the RotoGuru $2M league (password: rotoguru2m). This is a “no trade buying” league. Aside from the standard FireLeague rules, there is one additional special rule: All players must cost $2M or less when added to a team. If a player's value increases to more than $2M while on a roster, he may be kept - but once sold, cannot be repurchased unless his cost dips back to $2M or less. (Note that this rule will need to be manually monitored. The system won’t apply the constraint.) That’s it. Because trades are limited (you get 3 upon registration, and one more is added each week), you’ll have to find players you can live with for multiple weeks. For teams starting this week, you’ll have to manage your roster for 11 week with only 13 trades. So buy wisely, grasshoppers. If you have questions, post them this thread. Sortable stats are available here: Sortable stats for players costing $2M and less. The Assimilator is also available to help you manage your roster. |
