the igglite magicians are now registered and ready to play (well, after we draft of course)

i dunno what the availability is like but it would be real handy for me if we could draft late aug instead of early sep.

Just moved and I get my home internets hooked up on Thursday, so any night after that is good for me.

Drafted in a second 10-team league last night and worthwhile players were disappearing left and right. Can't imagine how much barrel scraping there is to be done in our 16-team league.
So, can everyone agree on a date?
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 17 August 2011 15:29 (twelve years ago) link
might be tough 2 coordinate 16 ppl
i could do 8/29 or 8/30
or the current date is actually fine w/ me
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 17 August 2011 15:40 (twelve years ago) link
i think i'm pre-selecting so whenever is fine
― brownie, Wednesday, 17 August 2011 15:59 (twelve years ago) link
current date is fine by me; it's memorial day isn't it?

Current date is fine with me, but so is any September date.

pre-ranking will be a sad way for me to lose my crown but if current date is working out for other folks that is cool wit me.

hey folks, sorry to interrupt your ilx league chatter, but i'm in a league of shithead portland hipsters and we need I think one more team and we're having trouble tracking anybody down whose not already doing twenty other leagues. So here's a general invite to anybody who wants to join a 12 team yahoo league (draft is this wednesday at 7pm pst), just email me at cwsmith @ gmail and I'll pass on the info.
thanks and sorry for the intrusion!

any chance the draft can start about two hours earlier? got a labor day bbq around 5pm PDT, draft starts here at 4:30.
― omar little, Wednesday, 31 August 2011 17:30 (twelve years ago) link
Anyone have reservations about moving it backwards one day to Sunday? That should get it out of people Labor Day plans if any exist (besides omar's).
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 31 August 2011 17:36 (twelve years ago) link
*people's
don't care, but we really really need to nail this down and then make sure everyone is aware. I'd be ultrapissed if the time got moved and nobody told me.

maybe i can get someone to sign onto the computer for me and i'll get the bluetooth headset on my phone while i'm out. problem is, i am pretty sure i don't know a single person that wouldn't ignore me and draft a roster full of retired jets players. curtis martin in round 1 is not ideal but at least he used to play for ne.

I hate for anyone to have to autodraft. What would be the IDEAL day for you to do this?
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 31 August 2011 18:30 (twelve years ago) link
I can't do sunday morning.
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 31 August 2011 18:36 (twelve years ago) link
personally i am just foolin around here, don't mind me. after today there is basically 0.01% i could make any time over next 10 days so don't factor me in. i am interested to see what kinda job i make of the autodraft, never had to do before.
― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 31 August 2011 18:39 (twelve years ago) link
I'm not huge on fantasy football and I am already in a league with the drummer in my band, so I won't do the Dirty Dozen (all though I am in the pickem league as that is more my thing).
It's a 10 club league...this is who I got. I think my Qb/WR look pretty good, but my backs are not great. I think Greene might do OK, as he might be the main back for the Jets this year right. I figure Manningham could be the big target with Smith gone from the Giants too.

Tolbert/Manningham are legit sleepers imo
― Reddit Me Bro (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 1 September 2011 04:12 (twelve years ago) link
Manningham is still going to be second fiddle to Nicks, but you're right that his chances of performing have improved.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 1 September 2011 17:00 (twelve years ago) link
original draft time still stands (too late now to change it for fear some people wouldn't get the notification...soz omar)
shit, this is gonna be HARD.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 5 September 2011 03:43 (twelve years ago) link
Damn hard - I see us in the 13th round having to choose between Brian Hartline and Kassim Osgood to finish off our teams!

i think you're right about hester being shutdown offensively though i imagine he'll be targeted. i do think he'll put up 100+ return yards tho
― google sluething so hard right now (forksclovetofu), Friday, 4 November 2011 18:05 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i'd go w/ hester. the return yards will be there and he should be able to pick up some receiving yards as well. that's about as solid as you can hope for out of those 3 guys.
― J0rdan S., Friday, 4 November 2011 18:06 (twelve years ago) link
hester is the safe bet, plus he might nab a lucky deep td a la devery hendu.

Hey gang, don't know if other people are seeing this as well, but the add/drop seems not to be working. As of 12:05PM NYC we aren't allowed to add or drop players until after this weekend (Nov. 9th). Guess it must have to do with their programming and Daylight Savings Time. I tried to add David Hawthorne and drop Sean Lee (just announced as out) and it won't let me. Anyone else seeing this?
― kebya, Sunday, 6 November 2011 17:07 (twelve years ago) link
OK, it appears Yahoo screwed up, there are many rants over on the message board. Looks like they did messup on Daylight Savings Time.

Refreshing still isn't solved it here - all available players are noted as on Waviers (not Free Agents), so they're not available to pickup until Nov. 9th.

For my other league, would you start:
Cam Newton @ DetroitCarson Palmer @ MinnyorAlex Smith vs. Arizona
― polyphonic, Thursday, 17 November 2011 23:01 (twelve years ago) link
palmer imo, he has scored well in his 2 starts. niners prob won't need to throw. newton has highest upside but biggest gamble. if you are desperate for a result go all in with newton.
― Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, 17 November 2011 23:37 (twelve years ago) link
Newton's rushing adds so much, that's why I struggle with this.
Last week Palmer outscored Newton 17-14 even though Palmer had a far superior game.
