0 Subject: Football 101

Posted by: Great One - Sustainer [053272014] Thu, Jul 26, 2007, 10:32

Under the banner of the successful Baseball 101 league... the concept will be the same.

$101 (actually $101.50 :)
Yahoo! PLUS League
14 Teams
4 Keepers
Live Draft on Sept 4th 6:45 (or 10:30)

$1300 in prizes including 20 dollar weekly high score payout as well as 20 for the highest score of the season.
$50 last place penalty paid to regular season champion.
Weekly bonuses (paid at seasons end) and penalty encourage managers to stay active to the end to avoid the penalty or for a team decimated early on by injury to possibly throw up a big week or two and make some money back.

I have 4 people interested so far before posting this, so shoot me an email if you have interest in joining us. This league is meant to be deep and offer lots of different ways to score some points.
$101 must be paid prior to Sept 4th unless other arrangments have been made.

Im sorry b6, but if you haven't noticed the hottest team in town are the Chicago Serbs. We currently own the longest current win streak at 3 games. We put up our season high points last week. Kyle Orton or not as our Quarterback I see nothing but a win for the Serbs this week.

Suck failure loser? I don't understand words like failure and loser?!?

So, speaking in a totally different language myself, as they say in the french of Canada:

Le puissant, ou devrait j'indiquer le regard superbe de CFL Argos en avant au défi, et nous serons à notre meilleur jeudi, dimanche, et lundi, et si nous nous avérons justement perdre, l'Arbre signalera ouvertement sur ce forum comme grand JTSerb est vraiment.

After trading Boldin for Benson(who immediately tanked), I was fortunate to find my new secret weapon WR - Ashley Lelie. This bold pick should propel me to the playoffs and, most likely, the league championship.

Might as well roll the dice. Other than Warner, my best hope for a TD is DeSean Jackson on an end around.

Wow,

I took off to drive to Atlanta about 7:30 last night and didn't get to watch much of the game... I really thought my chances were done in this league looking at the score going into the matchup...

Didn't think both RB's would have a good game..

Sorry Wiggs, definitely an exciting year... Right down to the last day.

Still not entirely over. Serbs needs a big game from Owen Daniels & Kevin Walter (i.e. 20+ points each) and he is in the last spot.

GG all and best of luck in the playoffs.

Serbs needs Walter/Owen to beat KBrown/Demarco... thats step 1.
But even if that is taken care of, then he needs 30 points out of Walter/Owen in order to catch Promize on the tiebreaker.

Its not unrealistic. His best hope is that Jax jumps out big by halftime and Houston is in catchup mode the second half.

the good news is that i lost this week and that my not making the playoffs is my own fault.

The Romo trade I made last year was my down fall for this season.

Good luck to those in the playoffs.

wow, and barring something insane tonight, i may have won the regular season championship.

and didn't i get my balls busted a bit for drafting so many rookies? heck, with 112 points, Jonathan Stewart is my lowest scoring rookie.

oh, and btw Barilko, he'd be the third highest scorer on your team. ;o)

Yeah, but that doesn't include the guys I traded away: Reggie Wayne, Braylon Edwards, Jamal Lewis, Mewelde Moore...meaning he would be 7th! Meh...I am looking towards next year.

And if I remember correctly, I think the only one who busted your balls for the rookies was you! You commented that you had an NCAA team, and that you sure weren't planning for that rookies.

Either way, the rooks panned out for you.


The Super Argos are looking forward to a stronger showing in 2009 without major disappointments like Braylon and Grant dragging down the team! A possible 6-3 end to the season after starting 0-4, and some extra picks offer hope for the future!

Really no relevance on this league at all, but I know we have a couple of Mounties in this league...

Says Dolphins RB Ricky Williams, ”In general, I just like Canadians. They all seem very nice and honest. In America, I think sometimes you’re frowned at when you try to be an individual and be yourself.”

Yeah, Ricky did an interview and told of how much he really liked Canada.

Canadians are loved around the world for our meek, peace loving, don't care attitude!!!

It is pretty funny that when I work with kids from the US, they tell me that they are always told by their workers in the States to put Canadian flags on their luggage and pretend they are Canadians when travelling abroad!

Rematch! Lets hope I can get off the snide vs Doug as i'm 0-3.

Tree - I even went to Bon Chon on 5th & 31st last week in anticipation of a potential finals matchup. Heck of a season though as you've positioned your squad for some long term success.

Yeah, it was a good season, but I must admit I am already looking forward to next season.

My primary goal is to add one last keeper, and would be looking to move pick(s) to get that done.

Thanks Tree, definitely sucks to end things with your guys not performing up to par.

As for AJ, it's actually not the best fantasy performance of his career, and he's come close to it this earlier this season, but yes... it was in fact the best fantasy output of the year no doubt... good timing on my end.

Very impressive season. Looking ahead... there's no way I can just keep winning against Slizz every time we play, his team is too good. But I'll gladly give him a regular season victory next year if it means I get to add one more to the streak first!

Dunno if you're in G24 but I won last week on Monday night game by .02... got ahead with .22 (had Delhomme and Ruud) with less than 4 to play I believe... and knew that Delhomme might get negative yards downing the ball. Sure enough, they get it back with 1:08 to play... did some quick math in my head but it turned out OK... they only had to run 2 plays, and he only got -1 on each (sometimes they take a step back and get -2, etc.)... so that made it a .02 victory.

Yea, i was shocked you were able to pull that off with Vincent Jackson on your bench. But hey, you take a "W" any way you can get it!

The article will be published in Esquire Magazine's sports section Thursday Morning as the drama to advance to the finals by .01 on a last-second Eli Manning INT apparently makes for compelling journalism :)

I will post the link when I read the article tomorrow.

Let me know what you think!

Not only are you now 0-4 vs Doug -- but that was 2 years in a row it was the same exact final of Doug beating Slizz. Its like Cowboys vs. Bills or something...

I didn't even realize we had a back to back champ and also a Finals rematch. Good stuff.

Thanks guys... and lol @ b6... was wondering if that might come up. Last year half my winnings went to a good cause... a girl I was working with had her wallet stolen (she lost a lot more than I gave, but it helped). This year I'm sort of "between jobs" and in the process of moving to DC, so a little extra fundage in the next month or two is a very welcome reward and will go to my own good cause... me! Perhaps such selfishness shall act as a karmic prevention against a 3-peat. :)

Admittedly I definitely had a little bit of luck there at the end this year, which you have to in a league this size and against so many great teams... 3 wins in a row against higher-seeded opponents... phew! And to eek out a 4th win against Slizz by a 2-fantasy-point margin... just incredible. Of course, Aaron Rodgers who helped me win here also was playing on my opponent's squad in the G24 championship, so ended up costing me that one. Can't win 'em all!

12 of the 14 teams were at least 5-8, and the 13th placed team actually had the second-highest reg season point total of all 8 non-playoff teams (just some bad breaks on the weekly matchups). This bodes well for a continued good competitive league next year, look forward to bantering, trading, drafting, and smack-talking with you all next season!

I have some keeper quality players that can be had for a fair offer:

-Brian Westbrook: His ineptitude during the playoffs for the 2nd straight year annoyed me enough to put him on the block.

-Antonio Bryant: When the guy plays, he produces. Get at me with an offer. Chances are I'll take the first one as he won't be a keeper.

-Reggie Bush / Pierre Thomas: One of them has to go...best offer will get one!!!

-Leon Washington: He does it all for the Jets and averaged 13.15 fantasy points/game with his KR/PR and receptions out of the backfield. Great flex option and a case can be made to start each and every game! *Cough* KANNONS *Cough*

-Dwayne Bowe: Aside from the final game in the playoffs and the matchup vs Nmandi...the guy was money whether it was a 3 reception 30 yard game with a TD or his 8 reception 100+ yard games with no TD, he got me points each and every week.

Believe me, you cant go wrong with ANY of these guys on your squad. Shoot me an email and get em while they're hot!

Disappointing year for a team that looked so strong to start the year..
Think I have some good keepers for next year though.. The best thing being young young RB's

The other good news is, most of entry fee is paid for already for next year :)

I fortunately have Deangelo Williams in every league I am in. For some reason I always drafted the guy. Question is what do you guys think his value is now? He has to be a top 5 pick next year right?

      Fri, Dec 26, 2008, 09:04
I don't think that's a "given", but undoubtedly some would rate him as such. And it will change a lot between now and next year's draft as news happens. People get injured, traded, shoot themselves in the leg, etc. It's not just DeAngelo but what happens with Jonathon Stewart, the O-Line, how the coaches talk and use them in preseason, etc.

RB Fast Willie Parker is likely on the trading block as well, along with Aaron Rodgers at QB and Vincent Jackson at WR.

good point promize...i was just thinking about some housekeeping that I need to do!

I have quality keeper-type players that I need to unload...my loss is definitely your gain. These guys are priced to sell as I just want to get down to my 4 keepers:

RB - Michael Turner (TD Machine...'nuff said)

RB - Westbrook

RB - Bush (probably the one guy that is gonna have to be pried out of my grasp)

RB - Pierre Thomas

RB - Leon Washington (KR/PR and 20 touches a game...thats money in the bank)

WR - Steve Smith

WR - Dwayne Bowe
