Hasn't even gotten warm here yet...

[SH0CK]

Hasn't even gotten warm here yet...Well, since most everyone who participated last year wanted to do the live draft, if we start things up now, we will be able to secure a decent enough draft time. The last that I looked, most weekend days and times were still available, which works out best for all who want to particiapte. :thumbsup:

[Mochiizee]

I'm in... You guys are dead.

Reviewing last year a bit, we discussed a live draft, with the backup of submitting a ranked list to the commish (me) to be used in your absence. If interested, say so, and volunteer an approximate "when" - I'm thinking ideally it's the weekend before the first game. BTW "live draft" can mean using the Yahoo live draft system or we just run it via our chat board and I'll post the results.

Another suggestion I found in last years thread was expanding the playoffs to eight teams, so Jer could get in. Since it's a for-fun game anyway, expanding the playoffs makes sense, provided we get 12-14 teams overall.

Scoring is currently same as last year, if you didn't like it last year now's the time to say so:
Passing Yards (50 yards per point)
Passing Touchdowns (6)
Interceptions (-2)
Rushing Yards (20 yards per point)
Rushing Touchdowns (6)
Reception Yards (20 yards per point)
Reception Touchdowns (6)
Return Touchdowns (6)
2-Point Conversions (2)
Fumbles Lost (-2)
Offensive Fumble Return TD (6)
Field Goals 0-19 Yards (3)
Field Goals 20-29 Yards (3)
Field Goals 30-39 Yards (3)
Field Goals 40-49 Yards (4)
Field Goals 50+ Yards (5)
Point After Attempt Made (1)
Sack (1)
Interception (2)
Fumble Recovery (2)
Touchdown (6)
Safety (2)
Block Kick (2)
Points Allowed 0 points (10)
Points Allowed 1-6 points (7)
Points Allowed 7-13 points (4)
Points Allowed 14-20 points (1)
Points Allowed 21-27 points (0)
Points Allowed 28-34 points (-1)
Points Allowed 35+ points (-4)

[Exiled in Maine]

[gmoney590]

I'm in. The rest of you can concede right now and save yourselves the agony of a very ugly ass whoopin.

[Mochiizee]

Did I hear somebody say "ass whoopin"? Cuz I can hear some crying already!

[aggie182]

^^^does mommy need to hug you and make it better????


I will win. You will all cry.

[Mochiizee]

Don't make me get my nunchucks.

[Jer]

This is great... I was just thinking about this the other day!

No Sh*t talking until after the draft... Many a bottom feeder team talked the talk and... Well, got absolutely nowhere.:rolleyes2:

Tepid Turd in da house!!!

No Sh*t talking until after the draft... Many a bottom feeder team talked the talk and... Well, got absolutely nowhere.:rolleyes2:



What are you implying? After last season, let me just say, the whipping boy is here.

[gmoney590]

No talking Sh@t till after the draft? If I wait that long I won't be able to talk Sh@t. It seems that my players come down with strange injuries or get arrested.

[Mochiizee]

I was playing in a league last year where getting arrested got you bonus points.

[doctor_al]

It seems that my players come down with strange injuries or get arrested.

Ohio native are ya?

;)

[gmoney590]

Ohio native are ya? . No, but a few of my players were playing for Ohio teams.

Note to self no drafting Cincinnati/Cleveland players.

[SH0CK]

Has anyone else noticed that we don't have our Raider's representative yet?
They can't be THAT bad this year... can they? :evillaugh

[Jer]

14 teams = 8 playoff teams...

Man Law?

[ritilinkid]

I would like to participate in our live draft. Any dates being thouhgt of??

[doctor_al]

Live Draft:

First NFL weekend is Sun Sept 9. We'll need to have rosters set by probably 10pm Sun Sept 2.

My suggestion would be a Saturday Sept 1 live draft, but suggest away.

[sanonofresurfer]

If I can't make the live draft, do I need to pull my team out, or will the computer pick for me in my absence?

[LV Terry]

With the first pick in the 2007 Draft, Raider Nation picks... Ladaini..eeeerrrrr... JaMarcus Russell !!!



Larry, if you can't be at the live draft, the system will auto pick for you.

[doctor_al]

If I can't make the live draft, do I need to pull my team out, or will the computer pick for me in my absence?

I'm figuring we do the live draft over chat here, so if you can't make it, you send me a ranked list beforehand and I'll take the top remaining player when your name comes up. Computer doesn't enter into it b/c we'd be bypassing that step.

[sanonofresurfer]

I just looked at my long term schedule. I'm good to go if we have it on Sept 1st as suggested.:thumbsup:

[Exiled in Maine]

Sept 1st will work for me. Any particular time? Since its a Saturday I guess it wouldn't matter, although I wouldn't want it to mess up anyones plans for Saturday night.

[Jer]

Maybe I might be in the minority here, but I like the Yahoo draft style. :thumbsup:

[doctor_al]

Where's the priorities??! If free roto football is not your number one saturday night activity, I've gotta ask how committed you really are. LOL.

Probably more like killing a saturday afternoon sitting inside. Unless you have wireless, which i do.

[mistermoe]

I will not be available, but I will send you my prerankings in a day or two!

Sorry I was being kinda selfish. I usually go to the baked bean suppa at the local house of worship. LOL

Actually call me Mr. Boring :snore:, Saturday Night draft would a change of pace, I think I could forgo Lawrence Welk Reruns on PBS, after the bean suppa. Tough call:confused2:

For those that missed out, you can always start your own league for yourself and your friends. If you would, please go through this link (http://www.vegasmessageboard.com/go/to.php?l=YahooFootball) so that this board can receive a little something from Yahoo! to help Sonya defray the costs of running this board.

Thanks!

[sanonofresurfer]

That's only 5 that I recognize from last year. Did people change there team names? WTH?

And I'm with Jer on the auto pick...only because this is my second year at Fantasy football, so I'm still a newbie who's trying to figure it out.

[doctor_al]

Theres a mix of returnees with new names and outright new folks.

[blackjack]

The monkey is in da house. I'm signed up but y'all are going to have a tough time getting me to talk football in June. I'm still trying to get over the old school beat-down the Spurs put on my Cavs and with the Tribe in a first place tie right now, well football just ain't on the map yet.

Add me to the list that prefers the Yahoo draft. More than likely I will not be able to do a live draft with my schedule. I have no problem ranking players but there is a huge difference drafting strictly by a 1-225 ranking and drafting according to need. The auto-pick function takes both into consideration using the ranking as a go-by and filling position need in later rounds as well. While I'm sure the Commish is capable of doing this, it would be too much work if multiple teams could not make the draft and you know damn well that somebody is not going to like their picks and start bitching about the draft :cry:. Better to let the computer take the blame if you ask me.

[IllMarty]

Dammit! Expand league to 16. I missed this!

[LV Terry]

well football just ain't on the map yet.

I am very encouraged with the trash talking, it will be a joy to to smush the crow in y'all's mush.

[NICU8697]

No room for ther defending CHAMP??? FOUL!

[QuadzillaXXX]

I'm going to throw together an "unofficial" 12 team league for anyone else who wants to jump in.
It'll be a live draft on yahoo probably on Sunday August 26th around 8pm and last about 45 mins.
I'll throw an invite out, and I'll make a new post so I don't keep hijacking lol.
We can work out some kind of friendly prize thing or something like that.
I'd be happy to offer up a 2008 ACG for the winner since we could send it out in early January.
Thanks,
Zilla

[MOGEYBOY03]

I AM IN !!! and look forward to handing it to you in yet another league !

This would be a good time to insert one of those football helmet smiley faces crushing all others.

[Jer]

Are we going to have a Yahoo draft? C'mish? Bueller???:)

[doctor_al]

Are we going to have a Yahoo draft? C'mish? Bueller???:)

This is like herding cats. The only consensus is that there is no consensus. Weekend before first NFL weekend is aug 25th, and I think a bunch of folks are busy that saturday.

[doctor_al]

Weekend before first NFL weekend is aug 25th, and I think a bunch of folks are busy that saturday.

No, sh*thead, it's not. First NFL game is Thursday 9/6/07. Which makes the pre-season weekend saturday 9/1/07. And from the book of Yahoo.com, chapter three verse sixteen --

"All drafts (live, auto, offline) must be completed prior to 11:59pm PT on Saturday, September 8 in order to receive scoring for Week 1."

So, if you're in, here's the deal: 1pm Central Time Sept 1 2007, *your ass* needs to be on-line on T2V chat for the LIVE DRAFT. If your *candy ass* cannot make that, you need to get a ranked list of (14 teams x 15 players = ) 150-200 players to me prior to the start, otherwise I'll take the bass-ackwards Yahoo list of ranked players, and select the BAP for your team on your turn.

Oh, and we'll be logging chat. Because that's some good shiat. And just because it wasn't your intentionto pick Randy Moss with your first round pick doesn't mean we're not gonna have some fun with it. And yes, if you can't make the live draft, you're at a disadvantage, fine, now you've got a story to tell Mr. bartender next time.

Game.

On.

[SH0CK]

No, sh*thead, it's not.The Chatroom Rambler at his finest :D

Remind me the night before and I can re-enable the save chat text/logging function. Save a lot of copy and pasting.

[Jer]

This is all nice and great... But...

Are all the Yahoo times taken? I'm not sold on chatroom drafts. Its not the trust issue, its just what I like and I don't.

Count me in as probably the only one against the chatroom draft...

:)

[doctor_al]

Its not the trust issue, its just what I like and I don't.


Well, as long as it's all about you, that's ok then. :wink2: :poke:

Here's my thing - it's more work for me to do the chatroom thing, but I get more control and/or flexibility in running it. Which mainly comes down to flexibility in "when". But there is an open slot for 1pm CDT on yahoo, so I booked it. May be easier for those just submitting lists.

So as of now we're booked for Yahoo Online draft, 1pm CDT 9/1/2007

Oh, and i forgot to mention but I bumped the playoffs to eight teams, so weeks 1-13 are regular season, 14-16 are playoffs, and 17 is "off".*


* This change was also made just for Jer.
:poke:

[gmoney590]

So, is everything settled? Doc, since you're catering to our individual likes; I'd like there to be brunch served during the draft since it will be held at 11:00am PST.:poke:

[doctor_al]

Just called Circus Circus buffet, it's a done deal. Bring your appetite!

[Jer]

Yeah.. And while I'm at it, can we change the name to something with my name in it??:poke:

At least I have some pull around here still...:evillaugh

And I didn't post that solely for you to go right up and change it, just to spark a discussion about who wanted what and what my prerences are. I'm cool with whatever, just prefer the Yahoo draft.:)

[gmoney590]

Just called Circus Circus buffet, it's a done deal. Bring your appetite!
Only the best for this crew. Doc, we can always depend on you to get the very best available for us. LMAO:vomit:

[doctor_al]

Well, you still had the STFU option...
:wink2:

only cuz we love ya bro ;)

[Jer]

Feeling it, my man... Feeling it...

Here's to pick #2 and Steven Jackson to all!!!!

[SH0CK]

A little more than 30 days until draft day folks! Where we'll hear the immortal words...

"With their first pick, Raider Nation selects.... Dante Culpepper"

[blackjack]

Are we still on for Sat. 9/1 at 2:00pm EST and are we using chatroom or Yahoo? I may have to work but even if I don't, my niece's b-day party is set for 9/1 at 1:00pm. Not sure how well that will sit with the family if I'm online at my brother's house while the party is on but we'll see. I'll have a draft list prepared just in case.

Next question: How is the draft order determined and will we know in advance what number pick we have in the first few rounds (after that it's a crapshoot anyway)?

[doctor_al]

Yep, that's correct, 9/1/07 at 1pm CST. Not sure about the order.

[blackjack]

I'm in one league that uses http://www.random.org/ to generate the draft orders. He generates a random order for every other round with even number rounds going backward from the previous round. It was suggested to do it serpantine (only generate one time & follow the same sequence throughout), but that got turned down in a vote. On the website you can use the Sequence Generator and have a set # assigned to each team or just enter the team names into the List Randomizer. It would be nice to have a draft order in advance regardless of how you do it.

[doctor_al]

Serpentine, Shel! Serpentine!
(source (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079336/quotes))

It's possible to think too much about this. I hear what you're saying about the draft order, but I'm letting Yahoo do that, just like last year:

"If you do not set an order before your draft, we will generate a random selection order for you. Regardless of which method you use, the order reverses each round so the team that starts the first round ends the second, while the team that ends the first round starts the second."

Still don't see where it sets that order, tho.

Unfortunate about the timing re: your niece's birthday. I'm open to re-evaluating the draft, but I'd like some more input. Other owners, whaddaya think?

[IllMarty]

Serpentine, Shel! Serpentine!

The Inlaws with Alan Arkin and Peter Falk. Much better than the remake IMHO


I will add the timing is bad. It's a holiday weekend. What about later in the week?

Marty

[doctor_al]

"All drafts (live, auto, offline) must be completed prior to 11:59pm PT on Saturday, September 8 in order to receive scoring for Week1."

There are no more Yahoo draft spots available after 4pm. But I'm ok with slogging thru it manually.

[Mochiizee]

Nothing will stop me from conquering this league. Unless you schedule this before Noon and I'm asleep.

[doctor_al]

If you're in this, and you don't get an email from me in the next day or so, let me know.

Well, heck, let me know either way.

[SH0CK]

I'm game with whatever the majority decides.

[sanonofresurfer]

Honestly, I would rather be at the beach over the holiday week-end, but like Scott, I'm game for whatever the majority decides.:thumbsup:

[IllMarty]

Whatever the group decides is fine. I do vote for Thursday nite live draft though.

[LV Terry]

"YOU WILL TAKE WHAT WE GIVE YOU!!!"

*Headbutt*

[doctor_al]

Honestly, I would rather be at the beach over the holiday week-end,
Don't take this the wrong way or anything, but you suck.

Whatever the group decides is fine. I do vote for Thursday nite live draft though.

Next Thursday is out for me. This thursday is too soon, I don't want anybody going "what happened? when did that change??".

[IllMarty]

Tuesday or Wednesday?

[blackjack]

I vote for whatever works best for everyone else as well.

Are we thinking about a chat room draft to coincide with a Yahoo draft? Basically, I just need to know where to submit my draft list and I guess I'm confused as to how this will all take place. :confused2:

I'll submit a draft list (either to Yahoo or Doc Al) for my picks because when I'm not working 15 hour days or working on my house that flooded 3 months ago and is still in disarray, I have other commitments like my niece's birthday party this Saturday at 1:00 (which I'll have to leave early because I have to work 5-midnight).

Damn it man! Where are your priorities?

[doctor_al]

Tuesday or Wednesday?

I've received a couple negatives on Wednesday as well. Unless there's a groundswell for Tuesday night, we'll just leave it at Saturday. Read on for what that means.

Basically, I just need to know where to submit my draft list and I guess I'm confused as to how this will all take place. :confused2:

Case 1) we stick with Saturday. Set a draft list on the yahoo site. There is a default one on there that Larry, at least, will be using. :poke: The yahoo draft thing is pretty cool, it has a little chat window, plus it lets you know who is/isn't still on the board.

Sounds like some people would be doing the autodraft on Saturday. If you're not there to pick, it selects the next player off your list, although I think it does try to fill all the starting spots first. However, if you're not there, it waits the whole 90 seconds before doing the autopick. That is tedious as hell if it's more than one or two teams doing that.

I've got 5 can't-make-it-saturday's, if there's more, it might just be most fair, and expedient, to just submit the whole league as an autopick draft. Then it's just me clicking the "ready" button at the time we would have drafted (Sat 1pm CST) and then less than 72 hrs later you've got a roster. Either way, set your draft list on Yahoo before 1pm Sat just in case.

Case 2) we move it to a weekday evening (not looking likely). In that event, you'd send your draft list to me, I'd send mine to somebody else to cover Sarbanes/Oxley requirements. Those that could make it live would get on the chat room here. I'd pick off the lists for the remainder. More work for me, not as cool, but I'd do it if we could get everybody together "live in chat" that way.

[sanonofresurfer]

Don't take this the wrong way or anything, but you suck.

Now, how could I possibly take that the wrong way?:evillaugh

There is a default one on there that Larry, at least, will be using. :poke:

Damn Skippy!:thumbsup: Maybe I'll get lucky again and hit the wrong button a few times for a better team.:rolleyes2:

[blackjack]

My list has been entered into Yahoo. Good luck all. :thumbsup:

[Exiled in Maine]

I cant attend the draft, How do I set my picks to Auto?

[doctor_al]

Go into the league page and set your draft list. The program will use that list to draft for you.

"You can rank your players up until 45 minutes before your draft."

So you've got about 45 min as of now...

And this weeks main event is brought to you by the 2 celler dwellers (runnin4daylight vs Fremont Ramblers) as they both fight and scratch to make their way out of the basement.Well, Al knotches his first (only?) win of the season... Seriously guys... 36 points BETWEEN you all? Anyone bet the under on that one? :evillaugh

Hey Larry, who was that quarterback you CUT a week ago and what were his stats on Sunday? Just to rub salt in those wounds... Oct 9 NFL.com reports San Diego Chargers QB Philip Rivers was nominated for the FedEx Air Player of the Week Award for Week 5. Rivers completed 13 of 18 passes for 270 yards and two touchdowns against the Denver Broncos.Way to stick with your homer pick there buddy... Looks like he's got a new home now :thumbsup:

Whoever plays me gets the Pahrump "Sure Thing" award, which is in the form of a big dubbuya.

LMAO,
I'm glad Al you have a good sense of humor about it.

Begs the question, who has Stephen King been drawing up contracts with ... or for?

[gmoney590]

The Sox won the WS; the Pats look unstopable; but BC really hasn't played anyone of any substance yet; and, let's get real the Celtics haven't even started the season yet.

Dude, have you looked at the teams they have played. We have beaten 3 ranked teams at the time of playing them. 2 are still ranked.Not to pick on Ohio St., (they are a great Team btw)they have only beaten 2 ranked teams as well. All four polls have them at #2, so if it walks like a duckEagle, makes noise like a duck Eagle and flies like duck Eagle, then it must be a duck A BC Eagle!!!!!!!!

As far as the Celtics are concerned, I haven't crowned them champs, not by a long shot. Its just nice that they are fielding a competitive team for once.

[Exiled in Maine]

Well aren't you just havin' one HELLUVA year. :Þ

Yes so far so good. Buckeyes do look great! I think we would have a pretty good matchup against them.

Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and f$%k the prom queen.
- Sean Connery (The Rock)

OK.. Let's look at this week's matchups and how it setups the playoffs:
<HR>
#6 Sin City Monkeys
#5 Tenn. Moonshiners

Meaningless game. Both teams are in, due to the total points scored. The loser just gets the short straw and probably plays the #2 seed next week. The winner, could possibly jump all the way up to #1 or #2 seed with losses by ORANGUTAN!, Raider Nation, and Surfers On Acid and a weak showing by Maine siberians.
<HR>
#1 ORANGUTAN!
#8 Fremont Ramblers

Ramblers need to win or a loss by FiftyonBlack AND Rocky's Rockets to make the playoffs.
<HR>
#14 NOTTHETEXANS
#12 AGGIES!!!

Loser of this game probably gets the title of last place, and the first pick in the McFadden sweepstakes.. Oops, this isn't real football, sorry fellers ;)
<HR>
#2 Raider Nation
#9 FiftyonBlack

Raiders are already in (WTF?!?!) but need a loss by ORANGUTAN! to sure up the #1 seed. FiftyonBlack need an impressive win and a loss by Fremont Ramblers or a Rocky's Rockets mediocre win or loss to make it.
<HR>
#11 roid' rage
#4 Maine siberians

Maine siberians are in, but need a win to sure up at least a #4, possible #5 seed but could possibly jump all the way up to #1 or #2 seed with losses by ORANGUTAN!, Raider Nation, and Surfers On Acid and a weak showing by the winner of the Sin City Monkeys vs. Tenn. Moonshiners game.
<HR>
#10 Rocky's Rockets
#13 runnin4daylight

Rocky's Rockets need a VERY impressive win and a loss by Fremont Ramblers, along with a medicore FiftyonBlack win or loss to make it.
<HR>
#3 Surfers On Acid
#7 WhatWouldLTDo?

The Surfers are in, but are clinging to the hope of a possible move up in seed with a win here. WhatWouldLTDo? need to score 30-40 points to clinch a birth in the playoffs.
<HR>Damn, that made my head hurt....

[doctor_al]

Impressive analysis by a man that needs a f***in hobby.

[SH0CK]

#1 ORANGUTAN!

Well, my little ruse worked to perfection and your use of Drew Brees ensured my victory as this year's "Official" VMB Yahoo! Fantasy Football Champion :woot:

For all of those that don't know, Drew Brees choked against his former Moonshiner teammate along with the entire Green Bay defense allowing the Moonshiners to "Brees" by with a 56-36 win. :drunk:

Uh yeah, must've been the ruse and not the "play the hot hand" or "don't play the guy with the concussion" theories.
