ILNFL™ Dirty Dozen: 2011 Fantasy Football Thread

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.

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).

*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.

i'll only do this drunk, so noon on Sunday should work

Fine with me, moving to Sunday!

fine w/ me. also loving drunken drafting idea

i don't mind sunday morning, so if eastcoasters want it around noon i say go for it

lol, just as i was scheming to somehow get available for this, you fucks torpedo me with this sunday bullshit. yall are scared of the champ, i understand that.

That's it. You found us out.

it's the end Roberto

i am putting a reminder in my calendar for next year - do not 1. move house or 2. have my parents in town at the start of football season

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?

I can't do sunday morning.

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.

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.

Philip Rivers QB
Andre Johnson WR
Matt Forte RB
DeSean Jackson WR
Jermichael Finley TE
BenJarvus Green-Ellis RB
Mario Manningham WR
Shonn Greene RB
Daniel Thomas RB
Malcom Floyd WR
Falcons D/ST D/ST
Mike Tolbert RB
Mark Sanchez QB
Alex Henery K
Matt Bryant K

Tolbert/Manningham are legit sleepers imo

Manningham is still going to be second fiddle to Nicks, but you're right that his chances of performing have improved.

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.

Damn hard - I see us in the 13th round having to choose between Brian Hartline and Kassim Osgood to finish off our teams!

i'm drafting 11 kickers this year

I've never played in a 16-team league before.

so what time are we doing this today?

7:30...right?

est

7:30 pm ET
6:30 pm CT
5:30 pm MT
4:30 pm PT

hey, is the draft order tbd or is it set right now in the league standings?

apparently set half hour before draft

Yeah, we'll know in a minute or two.

It's up now

Ooh, I'm 9th out of 16. That's a sweet spot.

12th! that means i win

can't believe I'm drafting fucking 16th

game on yall

we're missing four

and now 2

fuck drafting 16th

auction next time imo

got stuck coming home and it auto-drafted for me so i ended up with lul kolb at QB.

this is moving at a healthy clip

QB - Peytey and Cutler with Fitzpatrick in the wings
WR - Wes Welker, Kenny Britt, Devin Hester, Plaxico, Brad Smith
RB - LeSean McCoy, Ahmad Bradshaw, Darren Sproles, Ryan Torain
TE - Dustin Keller
D - KC
IDP - Ray Lewis, Barrett Ruud, Eric Weddle
K - Josh Brown (STL)

I need a lot to fall right but it could be a good draft.

Return yardage is gonna be a big ? for all of us.

if there even is much return yardage this year

well, punt returns are still punt returns.
