?
we doing it ?
pretty close to kick off

I dunno???

Do we have enough people to make it fun?

Probably not.  :sad3:

how many do we need??

As long as Stroh's involved it's always gonna be fun.

lol true

draft would have to be tonight though

Name the time, beotches.

The only times available today and tomorrow are:

Tue (today)
8:30 pm
8:45 pm

Wed
2pm
2:15
5:30
5:45

(I think these times are Pacific, but they aren't specified)

ok... so, I'm sure I can convert those times to Aust Time.
I guess the Wed times are good... it'll be Thursday here... hope that doesn't confuse stroh

I could probably do the Wed 545

5:45 OK with me.

oops, that time is gone. now the latest on Wed is 12:45 pacific.  It might be touch to pull this off before the DAL/NYG game.  Although a couple extra days might give Spanky/Darla/Walfredos a chance to join.

is that 12:45 am or pm Pacific??

Did you send out invitations already?

I can't send out invitations until I pick a draft time. :sad3:

12:45pm pacific.

Ok.. so that my times are aligned is it about 8:10pm Pacific Sept 4th there?

Hmm I think this is right:

12:45pm Pacific on Wednesday September 5th  = 5:45pm on Thursday September 6th here in Melbourne.

 ;D :o :o 8)

can we do it late and only have scoring/games start in week 2 ?

OK, it looks like slots opened up today.  I just renewed the league and set the draft for 5:45pm pacific today.

Please join ASAP if you want in.

Cool, we've got Mr. and Mrs. Walfredo in already.

Here's the link:

So what time is it there now

I'm presuming the draft is 7 hours earlier than initially noted.
It's 6am here

Ha ha... sorted!

ermahgerd!

It's now 3:09pm here.

We're up to 6 people now.

Deuce, I recommend joining asap.  I don't trust the site handling the draft correctly if you join at the last minute.

Assuming 2iron joins in time, that'll put us at 7 teams.  If that's the case, odd teams are a pain with byes every week, so I'll register a team and see if Spanky/Darla wants to take it over even if it's autodraft.  Otherwise, I'll get a friend to take it over.

thumbs up
 8)

I'm in... playing as "uumlaut strohson" this year....

oh.  hmm, I thought that was the real stroh who expressed interest in another thread.  damn, I wonder if he's still interested.

Tough call here at the last minute.  Not sure whether or not to sign up 2 placeholder teams to hand over to stroh, spanky or darla if they're interested (if none of them are interested, I can have a friend take over 1 team and we could have the other team managed "by committee" by us on the site excluding the opponent that week).  I just messaged spanky on facebook, but might not be enough time.

Any thoughts or preferences.  Or just leave things at 6 teams.

I have to leave to pick up the kids soon so have to decide soon.  I'm hoping to make it back by the draft.

I'm comfortable with your suggestion to sign up 2 placeholder teams on the above basis

Yeah, I'm going to sign up 2 placeholders now and deal with who's playing them later.  It looks like stroh wanted in.

I have to do this now because it looks like you need to "Finalize the teams" before you can edit the Draft Order.  I recall we preferred the draft order of reverse standings instead of (the default) random.

go for it.. as you say, the who's and why's can be sorted after

OK, just added 2 placeholder teams and finalized the teams so I can edit the draft order.

2011 Standings
1.   Leaders O'Cola   
2.   Darla   
3.   Failin Palins   
4.   Dystopian Solutions
5.   Penis Party   
6.   Spanksters   
7.   Cream Dream Supreme   
8.   Waikato Trousercrabs


2012 Draft Order
1. Waikato Trousercrabs
2. Cream Dream Supreme   
3. Penis Party
4. Dystopian Solutions
5. Failin Palins
6. Leaders O'Cola
7. Placeholder 1
8. Placeholder 2

cool... guess we'll see you in an hour and a bit

yeh, make 2 placeholders

damn, I forgot winning has consequences

are you going to retroactively adjust scores to reflect Giants/Cowboys players from week 1 ?

the benefits of finishing last....

No.  Too complicated for me to do manually.  Everyone should keep that in mind when drafting.

lol... I can't run the draft on my work PC... stupid security/virus/filter settings... gonna run this from my phone and leave it up to auto pick

Also, the game is ongoing, so someone could draft a 3rd string TE that lights it up in the first quarter.

OGLETREE!!!!

Oh crap!  It looks like we can choose to start scoring either Week 1 or Week 2.  If we choose Week 1, anyone who has DAL or NYG players starting will count which conflicts with my earlier statement about them not counting.

Let me know how you guys want to handle this.

I was hoping we could start scoring Week 1 excluding today's game, but that's not the case.

Damn.

Sorry, I've been really busy.

Did I miss it?

[Edit:  The draft I don't care about, I'll take anybody.  Is it too late to play? ]

Great, there's a team waiting for you.  Hold on, I'll give you the details.

Cool.  Stroh took Team #1. 

wtf?

Hate!

No updates on finding an owner for the Placeholder #2 team, so I had to make a starting change based on injuries.

Ryan Mathews is out, so swapped in Brandon Lloyd at flex.

 :o 8) 8) 8)

Damn, I went to pickup RG3 and, like that, he's gone.  I was too slow!

 [sm_devil]

I'm *fudge*ed if Fred Jackson is done for the year though
that was a nasty hit

I'll take team 2 if still available......

Woohoo!  I was hoping you'd show up.  Will PM the login info.

not thrilled that I lost to ASKE!  >:(

Can I have more than one kicker?

lol  8)

stroh's autodraft team scored 145 points? WTF?!!

Moneyball FTW!

Anybody?

Not play two each week, but switch them up.  Play one guy if he's in a dome that day and the other is in Chicago, or bye week, or things like that.

Oh, I thought you were joking.  Yeah, you can do that.  I'm not sure anyone is carrying two kickers on their roster.  Should be plenty to choose from.

qo0M_EI8h-0

LOL^^^

Hmmm...

Maybe I'm thinking this incorrectly.  But I'm looking at my bench and have some guys who didn't do *feces*.  Meanwhile this rookie kicker from MN threw up 17 points.

So I could have and injured tight end on the bench who got one point, or a kicker on the bench good for 10 or more given the circumstances.

Interesting.  I can't figure out kickers at all.  For me, they're like tight ends.  After the first 4-5 elite players that are must starts every week, it seems like a crapshoot.

Much laughter was had before, during and after the Draft, and everytime I attempt to Log In to Yahoo Fantasy Football.

It seems that the Virus Software that our IT people recently installed, deemed "Yahoo Fantasy Footbal" to be a "Gambling Website".

Ironically, at the same time, it allows me to access another "Yahoo Football Tipping" site. Essentially both sites do the same thing.

I may now have to do this each week on my Ipad, or on my newly "rooted" Samsung S2 - (but that's a discussion for another time and place).

Anyhow, keep on truckin' folks and 'ave a good weekend!

 ;D  [sm_beertoast]

Goddamn you brandon marshall!!!

Damn, that sucks!  :(

yikes, my bench scored more points than my starters and I still eked out a win!  [sm_shock]

im still WTF at least week

dammit.

if I lose to fake, and real strohdags in back to back weeks I might just quit

look at the top half of my lineup
 :sad3:  wtf   damn you Fat Mafford
damn you Brandon Marshall

You're doing alright now.


The Queens just blocked a kick by Akers.  Not sure how I feel about that.  LOL

Lions aren't looking too good.

strohdag still has the his falcon players to go. That could be a lot of points there.

Lions finally woke up!

The Roar has been restored(TM)

fake and real strohdags seem to be the real deal at the top of the standings.  Maybe autodraft is the way to go.

Hate!

Didn't work for me.......... >:(

Well that makes me happy!

whew

Penis Party

The Real Strohdawg

Brutal

holy crap, that's crazy!  [sm_shock]

The only crazier thing would be if they now do a stat correction that makes up the 0.02 difference and reverses the outcome. ;D

Yeah, that was a nail biter.

don't call it a comeback

Whoops.  Looks like I picked the wrong day to bench Andre Johnson. [sm_anon]

lol

who had justin blackmon ?

wtf?  Failin Palins might squeak into the playoffs.  [sm_shock]

I thought for sure Mrs. Walfredo or uumlaut would get the fourth spot.

Ah, nevermind.  I didn't see that PParty still has Brady and Gore to play.  That should be plenty for the win.

Playoffs.  Playoffs?

goddamit so much, I'm already done.

*fudge* you roddy white!
 [sm_shock] [sm_shock]

congrats real strohdags

craziness!  [sm_shock]

I can't believe that we finished with a 5-way tie for first place.

And I can't believe that I lost in week 1 by 2 points with over 100 pts sitting on the bench. Grrrrr...  >:(

Congrats Dys.!   [sm_beertoast]

*fiddlesticks*offmercurymorris39pointsnowadaysanwayhate!

 ;D  [sm_thankyou]

The night game really came through for me.  It wasn't looking good heading into it.
