Saddoboxing.com Fantasy Football Signups

OK, so I know BG made a topic about it a long while ago after the Super Bowl and now that the preseason is officially upon us, I think it's about time we get this going. He asked me to take care of it so I will.

So...as of right now here is where we are.

I say we use ESPN.com as I've found it to be the easiest to use and the best of the free ones. If anyone has any objection to this let me know.

Right now there are 9 spots open. If there is any sort of ddemand for more, we'll just do 2 leagues and the winner of each championship game, the person who has the more points wins. Or something to that extent we can figure that out as we move along.

The draft date is what I want to get figured out after the signups. The last possible date is the 24th, hopefully the signups are done in a weeks time and we can figure it out from there. Maybe a vote or I'll pose dates to everyone.

So...who wants to play?

I'm in, just let me know what i gotta do so I can make sure I join the right league.



Just a heads up....................









I do pretty well at these. Last time I was in a league, I lost the championship game. So I finished 2nd.

I'm in

What I'll probably end up doing is making the league private (you have to actually) and then just sending out email invites. So once I get enough signups for the league, I'll ask for everyone's email and send them invitations. That would be fairly easy I hope. If you guys don't have accounts on ESPN, just make one once the league is up and if you don't want to send out your email just make the account using a bugmenot.com temporary email and it should be easy enough.

Again...if anyone has a better idea then let me know. Or if you want to send me your email ahead of time that's cool to. Either way doesn't matter really. The search on ESPN pretty much sucks though so that's the only reason I think it's best to do it that way and I don't think you can be directly linked either.

I am in as well, Amat. Thanks. :)

I'm in. I'd recommend nfl.com as i've used it before and it seemed pretty straight forward as well but they're all probably about the same.

What configuration are you doing? (how many active players, etc.)

how many more sign ups do we need?

I'm in too

It's all about the Las Vegas "Mob."




Come up short, and you're six feet deep.

So far we just need 5 more players. Or 3 if we had to but I'm sure there are 5 out there willing to play. I think we could get that.

As for the configuration, just the standard one with one starting QB, a RB, a slash RB/WR, 2 WR, a TE and a defense. That's off memory but I'm pretty sure that's right. I'll actually create the league here shortly for those that have already joined.

Stupid question - how does fantasy football work? I assume you pick a bunch of players and get points based upon their stats?

That is correct.

Thanks FS. I'm going to make the league sometime today and send out the league invitations.

Do we have enough people yet??



Don't bother sending JTrock an invitation, I already tried.

He said that he was afraid of "Getting beat by everybody, just like all the journeyman that beat up on my boy Evander Holyfield." He later added that he really doesn't know much about football, and that it was just a big cover up to mask his homosexuality.


Those were his exact words I quoted

No but it doesn't hurt to get the league going anyways, and I don't think we'll draft until the last week of preseason anyways so we have time.

pm amat.



I guess he's the one setting everything up, but I think we should have it set up so that the guy who gets the first pick in the first round gets the last pick in the secound round, then the first in the third, etc. etc.

Agreed. That is how it should work.

That is how it works, the order gets reversed a bunch. And sorry for being a little slow on this, kind of been busy with registration for school and stuff, should be good once school actually starts but yeah the order is reversed, and ESPN picks which one of us picks first. And then that person picks last...

Sign me up please. CC amat

I think we may have enough people finally

bump

I already got my draft sheet set-up. CHAMPIONSHIP! ;D

I guess we got enough people. Now where's Amat??

if its a 12 man league, there's 12 draft rounds and every body gets a pick at every draft spot.

So every person will pick 1st, 2nd,........ 11th, and 12th thru out the whole draft.

It's only week 2 of the preseason (i believe teams still have 81 man roasters at this point as well) and amat said he'd start/host the draft during week 4.

I made the league today, and I'm currently messaging everyone to get their email. I did an Autopick draft, that way we don't all have to be online at the same time and we can just rank our players. That can be changed though.

I dunno about an auto pick draft. If you have a live draft, their ranked picks will be auto selected if they're absent anyways. Therefor people who show up can get the benefit of getting exactly what they want and others just fall into place. Besides 3 weeks in half of the high fantasy draft picks are gonna turn out to be busts and everyone's trying to pick off some sleepers off the waiver wire.

That's true I didn't think about this first point. Oh well at least I have time, draft dates are the only thing that are going fast.

They didn't even cut down rosters yet did they? Isn't everyone still rocking 81 players?

If somebody drafts grossman in the first round, they are a fucking legend.

This coming tuesday is the final roster cutdown. I have a question, this is my first time trying this...do quarterbacks gain points for rushing yards/td's too? Or do they only score point for passing stats?

They get it for rushing as well. They may even get points for receiving in the rare occurance that that happens. Their stats are alot more strictly socred tho. Every 25 yards thru the air as opposed to 10 points on the ground or receiving for a point.

Thanks for the info NotGuilty136, CC for that.
