I open this thread with the intention of probing the interest of an official ;) Civilization Fanatics Center fantasy football league for the 2004 season.

There would be no $$ involved. It would simply be for bragging rights and the opportunity to talk some smack and get hyped for the best sport on this planet!! (Sorry :hatsoff: to our European friends!)

I could arrange to set up a free league with a website that could host such a league. I have 10 yrs of commissioner's experience w/ my own big-time league that I run.

A draft could be done on-line and everything would be completely formatted.

What do you say? Have you got the skillz to win it all and be crowned the CFC Fantasy Football champion?

I'm in. extra characters

cool...cbssportsline and yahoo have very good host sites. i will look into it if/when we get enough 'peeps

If you explained the rules carefully and in lots of detail I might be able to play.

I don't know &*%$ about NFL players, but I'll join. :)

I'm typically in 3-4 NFL fantasy leagues every year. If one of them falls through this year, I would be willing to join if it was a head to head league.

If you explained the rules carefully and in lots of detail I might be able to play.

well, if you're familiar w/ how fantasy football works then here's a snapshot:

all teams in the league would have around 15 or 16 players on their team.

~2 QBs 2 Kickers
~4 RBs 2 Defenses (entire team defense)
~4 WRs
~2 TEs

Of those players, each team would start/activate each of the following for each week of the NFL season:

1 QB ~~ 2 RBs ~~ 2 WRs ~~ 1 TE ~~ 1 Kicker ~~ 1 Defense

Points are accumulated (or subtracted for fumbles lost, interceptions thrown, field goals missed) by each player for the following statistical catergories (if applicable):

~Touchdowns scored
~Total yards passing
~Total yards rushing
~Total yards receiving
~Feild Goals & extra points
~turnovers forced; ie interceptions and fumble recoveries (all by defense)

a schedule would be drawn up (assigned by most websites that host a league) pitting each of the teams in the Civ Fanatics Center FFL against each other; each team in the league would play each of the other teams at least once during the yr (depending on how many teams we would get to join). Thus, each team would accumulate a Win/Loss record and standings would be kept. In order to record a Win, your team would have to score more pts in that given week than your opponent. Simple enough, eh? Standings would be kept recording all wins and losses, etc. A playoff bracket would be set for the last few weeks to determine the Champion.

whew...that was alot.

Got it?

need more info? i am a wealth of information regarding this subject and am happy to answer any other question in detail.

QB: Quarter back
Wr: Wide receiver
TE: ???
RB: ???

I know a lot about american football! :lol:

TE : tight end
RB : Running back

my team was crap last year, but i'll be in again this year...

amos zereoue? what was I thinking??

QB: Quarter back
Wr: Wide receiver
TE: ???
RB: ???

I know a lot about american football! :lol:

TE = Tight End; a sort of offensive lineman and wide receiver hybrid who makes a few catches a game.

RB = Running Back; takes handoffs, runs and catches the football and scores the majority of his touchdowns on the ground. Also the most valuable of all fantasy football positions.

amos zereoue? what was I thinking??

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Running Back like Emmit Smith?

for all of those concerned with the lack of knowledge regarding the players...

any website we'd use ALWAYS has a 'cheat sheet' type list where they rank each player at all of the positions. this is an indespensible tool for any fantasy football mgr.

Running Back like Emmit Smith?

¡exactamente!

Im in!!!! And this year I wont miss the deadline.

Im in!!!! And this year I wont miss the deadline.

cool...i like that avatar also ;)

to everyone interested in the CFC Fantasy Football League:

the NFL season starts around the last weekend of Aug/first weekend of Sept so we would try and set up the on-line draft some time during aug. the trick would be to have everyone agree on a time and day. the exact day and time is specified by the host site. the earlier we sign up, the more time slots that we'll have to choose from.

Or we could do like last year, pick a day to start and every person gets like 4 or 5 hours. It would be in some kind of predetermined order. And they can pre-determine thier picks incase they cant make thier pick, I liked that site.

yeah, each mgr should put together that list (which most sites allow you to 'rank' the players and they are auto-selected based on your preference/order)

it may not be too hard to get everyone together especially since we have so much time.

Sounds like much fun, keep us informed. :cool:

What exactly would happen during this online draft?

Sign me up. The Golden Knights are Ready to Compete for the Civfanatics Cup! :D

Hmmm, this all seems vaguely familiar....and I didn't finish dead last last season so maybe I should try again :p

I figured Azale and tjsavannah would be in again. Where are the other 7 from last year ?


PS - dibbs on Sam Gash...I just love that name

What exactly would happen during this online draft?

we'd all be sorta logged into a 'draft room', kinda like a chat room where we'll make our picks.

each team will be assigned a drafting order # (assigned by the site) and when it's your turn, you make your selection. it usually takes about 2 hrs to complete if there are no hitches.

Why aren't you given a set amount of money and the choice of any players you like?

Why aren't you given a set amount of money and the choice of any players you like?

working with a money/salary cap could be a little advanced for our purposes though it is done in many leagues. choosing whomever you'd like kinda defeats the purpose of the draft. anyhow, there's only one peyton manning, randy moss and clinton portis to go around :p

the draft is all about strategy...that is, making the right pick at the right time and 'building' your team, one pick at a time.

Why aren't you given a set amount of money and the choice of any players you like?

Because then you couldn't trade players amongst teams, half the fun of an NFL fantasy league.

It's no fun if everyone can have Marshall Faulk.

You can have Marshall, I'll take P. Holmes or S. Alexander ;) :D .

You can have Marshall, I'll take P. Holmes or S. Alexander ;) :D .


oh boy...it's on!!!!!!

kidder...at some point, we'll need a head count of 'definites' so that we can see how many teams we can get...blah...blah....blah

You can have Marshall, I'll take P. Holmes or S. Alexander ;) :D .

Now that Kurt Warner is finally gone, Marshall's going to have a huge year.

They don't feel compelled to put the ball in the air 40+ times a game, just give it to Marshall and let him run roughshod like he used to do. Oh, those were the days....

If he doesnt get injured again. You guys are forgetting, Ladainian Tomlinson is the best runningback in the NFL :D

If he doesnt get injured again. You guys are forgetting, Ladainian Tomlinson is the best runningback in the NFL :D

Correct. I'm going to get him first. :D

I think a fantasy league should have a maximum of 16 teams. That way, everybody has an actual starting quarterback as their backup.

I'm in. Damn the ten.

-- I'm in.

All right. So far we have:

10 Definites - El Justo, Syterion, Inter32, tcjsavannah, Azale, Daniel Khan, Zamphyr, Plexus, samildanach, and Gumby78.

3 Maybes - marioh, MrPresident, and dgfred.

For a total of 13. Like I said, it is highly unadvisable to go over 16 teams.

The Silverfish are back for their second season. Prepare to be spanked....... ladies! :smug:

i would agree that 16 is probably the max. we could always set up another league if we get more interst. after all, it's free!

Oh, I'm defnitely in. Just don't expect me to understand preciesly what is going on.

Oh, I'm defnitely in. Just don't expect me to understand preciesly what is going on.

It's really not that complicated. All you really do is pick your players, then trade around. When the season starts you find out how good your team is.

Will we use CFC PM's to discuss trades, or should we spread around AIM names?

pms would be good. Or we could have someone sticky a thread for us....

The sticky thread was OK last year, but I remember it got really long, and the rosters would be updated on the first page but the discussions would be taking place on like page eight or nine...

So maybe just make a trade/discussion thread and put the URL to the league's rosters somewhere in the front of it?

All right. So far we have:

we could use a sticky thread to talk trash, etc.

the website that we'd use would be designed for trades, rosters and anything else fantasy football.

for anyone out there who may not have the NFL knowledge they think they need to win, let me know...there are a TON of free websites i know of out there that can familiarize you w/ the top players (and the bottom ones for that matter).

PM me if you please ;)

I LOVE FOOTBALL!!!!!

btw, who ran this league last yr?

I apologize for being undecided at this point.

I just don't want to be stuck having to manage more than 4 teams this year. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to juggle that many teams in multiple leagues.
And i certainly don't want to have a "dead" team as I hate those types of teams in my other leagues. :)

dead teams are the pits.

the only reason we'd have more than one league is to accomodate all of those who would want in. this doesn't mean everyone would have to join 2 leagues. one league could be 12 or 16 teams while the other could be 8 or whatever. it depends on the #s

btw, who ran this league last yr?

*delurk*

That would be me sir. :)

Na it is like the style I think?
Justo how many

Ohh I think this is 8-man or 11?

They don't use offensive linemen, because they don't have stats.

sure they do...Pancake Blocks ;)

kidder, seriously...we won't do linemen. just the skill postitions (QB/RB/WR/TE), kickers and defenses.

AFL? you're kidding right? let's do a Canadian Football League fantasy league while we're at it. :joke:

@drivebymaster:

i'm figuring we can use yahoo.com for the league host site but they haven't started up with the sign-ups yet. soon though. prolly a week or 2.

we should try and keep the teams at an even # like 8/10/10, etc so the schedule isn't all out of whack.

also, there may be 2 different leagues for the CFC dudes so anyone interested in joing both (in the event that we need to fill spots in the 2nd one) should say so. i'll do both if i have to. who cares? it's all free.

I use Yahoo.com e-mail.

hey mayakovsky, you calculated everything by hand?
say it ain't so :eek:

:lol: Oh, it's so brother. It really wasn't that bad. Towards the end of the season I slipped up a couple of times but only on accident. I swear. :mischief:

I'm sure they have fancy sites that can do it for you but I was too lazy to find one. We had a 'mom & pop' type of thing going.

so are we gonna do this on a site or in this thread

so are we gonna do this on a site or in this thread

let's look for a free site to host the league. i know i won't add the scores by hand every week. not in today's day and age ;)

we've got time...once training camps open up is when all the sites open up for set-up/sign-up.

I just came here looking for the fantasy football thread, I hope it is not too late for Nuclear Device to reenter the CFC league, or 1 or more?!

I WANT IN!!

No worries onefastwarrior because everyone is allowed your just gonna have to wait until training camps open up.

Hey when is that supposed to be because my friends are saying it is near the end of august and i said no its not.

training camps open in like the middle of July. The end of August is almost the start of the season.

Wow, fantasy football's starting early this year. This thread really caught me off guard. :sleep:

Is there still room for one more? If there is I'm in! :thumbsup:

After all the Fighting Squirrels must defend the CFC title. :king:

of course you're in.

fyi to all interested in FF for this yr:

yahoo.com will be the host site for us this yr. they have just launched the new season and FREE commish program, etc. we need to determine how many teams we want in each league. according to yahoo, they can host up to 20 teams/league. that's seems a little too much to me. 12 teams is perfect if you ask me.

who had the last head-count anyway?

speak up now b/c i will start to set everything up in the next few days. i believe i'll need email addresses so that you can receive the invitation through a link.

more later...

for yahoo.com you can join a league by a password set-up by the commissioner.

Head Count so far:

17 Definites - El Justo, Syterion, Inter32, tcjsavannah, Azale, Daniel Khan, Zamphyr, Plexus, samildanach, MrPresident, dgfred, mayakovsky, Fool Inc., Drivebymaster, OneFastWarrior, Chris85, and Gumby78.

1 Maybe - marioh.

For a total of 18.

Thanks Justo

OneFastWarrior what is you favorite NFL team? You can tell what mine is.

I'm definitely intersted - what kind of time commitment are we realisticallyy looking at here? Couple hours a week, or a couple hours a day, or per month?

an hour or so a week. if that.

nice! that's 19 and counting!

for yahoo.com you can join a league by a password set-up by the commissioner.

yes. this is true. however, in order to receive the invite, one must first supply their email address so as to receive the message/invite.

THEREFORE, for all of those interested, please post/PM your email to me so that i can put through your invite.

ALSO, [VERY IMPORTANT]...please specify an approximate time-scale (US eastern daylight time) that would be best for you to do the online draft.

for example, "anywhere from 6pm to 10 pm is good for me."

lastly, please note if there is any 'bad' days in late august for you. by this i mean that if you are going to be away or unbale to draft on a certain day.

once i receive all of the above-referenced info, i will set up the league on yahoo.com.

drmaynard21 @ tntech.edu

I live on the west coast justo would your good time for me be like 1:00--5:00?

Driveby, my favorite team is Miami, always has been always will be!

El justo, I will pm you my e-mail addy. Anytime is good for me to draft, cause if I cannot make it I will have my rankings preset for my liking, However, I am usually available at the same times you stated and also weekends.
As for league size, I really don't care I like bigger leagues because they present more of a challenge. I have run a 16 team keeper league for 14 years and did an 18 team league on Yahoo last year and it was pretty tough and fun. If you don't have all the teams in the same league, then there would be possibly 2 cfc champions instead of 1. But it really does not matter 1 way or the other to me.

from 15/08 I won't be active in the forums since I'll be moving..dunno how it wil take to become active again.

My e-mail is....I'll send it to El Justo

ok...i've received 8 total responses as of today. so that makes 9 total (including myself).

should we go 10 teams? 12? more?

i'll set up our league once we confirm how many teams are to be in.

note that the draft day is aug 19 at 9pm eatern standard time. i wanted to try and accomodate anybody who wasn't on the east coast. texas is one hour difference. no?

anybody have any trouble signing up? please sound off...

there's 4 more open spots we need to fill by aug 19.

btw, i hadn't set up the scoring rules yet. i wanted to see how in-depth everyone wanted to go with it.

we could keep it basic or customize it a little. please sound off on this so i can implement a system that is to eveyone's tastes.

El J- I can not get through with that password, etc... , any advice or
problems that you know of :confused: :scan: ?

I have no problem with "customizing", as long as it's pretty easy to understand and/or intuitive.

As I hinted at, I don't have tons of time to be spending poring over every little statistic, etc.

Whatever the vote is fine with me. Just be prepared for a lot of questions, as I have never done a FFL before. :lol:

for example, 'custom' rules could be constued as the following:

instead of only awarding pts for just TDs, we could give 1 pt for every 10 yds that a WR or RB accumulates as well as TD scores. Qbs could get 1 pt for 10 yds passing over 200.

this is known as 'Scoring and Yardage' leagues. IMO, they are more fun b/c my WR may have had a fantastic game, say 120 yds receiving on 8 catches but no TDs, thus no fantasy pts :mad: . yet, in basic leagues (TD scoring only), a scrub RB who gets only 2 or 3 carries a game and scores from 1 yd out gets more pts than my guy who went nuts (120 yds receiving, 8 catches but no TDs) :sad:

therefore, i am strongly in favor of the 'Scoring & Yardage' format and it's not more research time. just more in-depth as far as the stats/scroring is concerned.

there are four spots left...mr president...are you out there? i need your email mate.

therefore, i am strongly in favor of the 'Scoring & Yardage' format and it's not more research time. just more in-depth as far as the stats/scroring is concerned.

I agree. This way basic scoring studs (like goal-line backs) still help your team and are viable starters, but they should not be outproducing guys who rush for 125 yards and no TDs....

BTW, I'm signed up and ready to go.

Scoring and yardage is fine with me also.

In fact, this is how I expected it to work from my limited experience of FFL's.

@daniel kahn

you're in dude. check your email

I am signed up and I prefer Yardage + scoring based leagues.(I like to call it accelerated soring system)

Justo I can't start the live draft you set up because I am gone that week to go camping......... Could you do my draft for me?

i suppose...try setting up one of those 'preference' lists first. i'll have to check to see if the website is set up so that i can physically draft your players for you. if i can't, then it'll work directly from the preference list.

Driveby, you can prerank all your players. It usually works pretty well for me. I usually end up with a team I can work with, sometimes it looks even better than I thought I could have got drafting live myself.

how do you prerank?

never mind Justo I will do prerank

pues, está bien

All right got the prerank set up hope I get everyone that I want *crossing my fingers*

The Galloping Ghosts are ready to play.

El justo, I know you said you have not set up the rules yet, but I was looking at the defaults, and here is something.
I noticed that the lineup is set for(starting and bench players)
QB, QB, WR, WR, WR, WR, RB, RB, RB, RB, TE, K, DEF, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN

I assume you will change this and I was wondering what kind of lineup you would go with. Are we going to use a TE, how many TB,s and WR,s. do you want defensive players. and how big do you want the rosters?
Last year IIRC mayakovsky had 1 QB, 1 or 2 RB's, 2 or 3 WR/TE,s and a 1 Kicker.

I am just wondering, cause I would like to prerank my players and the knowledge of starting lineups and bench players would help in this.

I personally like 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR's, 1 Flex Position(WR or RB) 1 TE, 1 K, and 1 defensive team.

However, since you are the commish, then you can claim ultimate power and make us find 4 RB's to start every week in a 16 team league ;)

I am just wondering, cause I would like to prerank my players and the knowledge of starting lineups and bench players would help in this.

I personally like 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR's, 1 Flex Position(WR or RB) 1 TE, 1 K, and 1 defensive team.

However, since you are the commish, then you can claim ultimate power and make us find 4 RB's to start every week in a 16 team league ;)

well, i was thinking that we could start the following each week:
1 qb, 2 rbs, 2 wrs, 1 te, 1 k, 1 def and the rest in bench players.

definitely open to other ideas though ;)

sounds good, thats how I run my 16 team league. How many bench players? 6, 8, more? If we have 8 then you would have 1 backup for each starting position. If you have 6, then you could have 1 backup for each position, (only 1 WR and 1 RB backup instead of 2). Of course bench players are at tyhe discretion of each team owner. and I only keep 14 player rosters, but if you go more than 16 rounds it kinda gets down to some real nobody players.

So thats what we are doing hmmmm I will have to re think my list......

I like having a utility player as well, an extra position you can put a RB/WR/TE in. This helps if you have like a goal line back and a starter and you want to start two, but not be limited to having them as your only RBs..

So 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 UT, 1 PK, 1 team defense

that's kind of neat. 16 teams sort of stretches the talent pool some but i'd be willing to try that if everyone is of the same sentiment. ;)

as for backups, i think i set it up as follows:

1 backup qb, 2 backup rbs, 2 backup wrs, 1 backup kicker, no backup te, no backup def, 1 extra backup spot to pad any position.

nothing is set in stone yet. so sound off if you have any suggestions!

How is drafting order decided ? If it is simply a matter of asking can I have the No.1 pick please? :) :mischief:
Suck it up Azale!! I beat you to it this time. :banana: :banana: :banana:

"well, i was thinking that we could start the following each week:

That sounds good, as for the backups, i think what you said is good but possibly a spot for a backup defense so that you can have one for a bye week or if they just suck.

1 backup qb, 2 backup rbs, 2 backup wrs, 1 backup kicker, no backup te, no backup def, 1 extra backup spot to pad any position.

nothing is set in stone yet. so sound off if you have any suggestions!

I think you need to allow people to have at least one backup for each mandatory starting position, so (theoretically) if someone wanted to draft their team at the outset, they could play the season with what they draft.

We all know this never happens and transactions need to be made, but the theory is sound. Someone might get lucky and get everyone they want initially :)

Besides, I think Yahoo makes backups position-less.. if you want to keep seven QBs as backups, feel free.. you're really out of luck on bye weeks though.

So with nine starting positions, I think having a bench of seven players (at least 1 QB, 1 RB, 1 WR, 1 TE, 1 DF, 1 PK and then an extra bench spot) gives us 16 man rosters.

16 teams means that everyone can have two NFL starters at every position if it breaks down evenly, and I think that's all you can ask for at the outset.

Sounds good.

The Springfield Atoms will be the first to fall victim to Dante's Destroyers. :hammer:

The Killuminati are officially 'in'!

Where's mardukes?

LOL, the number 1 pick sure didnt help me last time. I believe I wasted it on Michael Vick because I didnt prerank my players...:(

as for the backups, i think what you said is good but possibly a spot for a backup defense so that you can have one for a bye week or if they just suck.

i've left this spot (defenses) w/ no backup to force the GM to make a decision; ie make room on their roster for another defense.

there is also a wild card roster spot where the GM can fill their back up spot w/ any position. so, if one wants 2 defenses, then they can do so. however, if they want an extra wr or rb, then they have this option as well.

it just gives the GM a taste of strategy and/or options.

remember, nothing is set in stone yet. if this is not to everyone's liking then i'll certainly switch it.

it looks like we have 14 in so far. i believe this is the amount of invites (13 actually but w/ myself it makes 14).

we need 2 more GMs!!!!

let's 'Get 'er done'!!! ;) drivebydude

Actually, I looked at the league settings and you have it set so that each team will have to start 2 QB's, 4 RB's, 4 WR's, 1 TE, 1 K, and 1 DEF, and we also then have 5 bench spots. You really need to change this. If you look at your team page you will see what I mean. Before the draft it only shows your starting positions and at the top it says how many empty or available bench spots you have. You can not preset the bench spots for what people must have, omly the starting positions.

Looks like this.
QB --empty-- - - - - - - - - - - - 0
QB --empty-- - - - - - - - - - - - 0
WR --empty-- - - - - - - - - - - - 0
WR --empty-- - - - - - - - - - - - 0
WR --empty-- - - - - - - - - - - - 0
WR --empty-- - - - - - - - - - - - 0
RB --empty-- - - - - - - - - - - - 0
RB --empty-- - - - - - - - - - - - 0
RB --empty-- - - - - - - - - - - - 0
RB --empty-- - - - - - - - - - - - 0
TE --empty-- - - - - - - - - - - - 0

K --empty-- - - - - - - 0

DEF --empty-- - - - - - - - 0

Should look more like this
QB --empty-- - - - - - - - - - - - 0.00
WR --empty-- - - - - - - - - - - - 0.00
WR --empty-- - - - - - - - - - - - 0.00
RB --empty-- - - - - - - - - - - - 0.00
RB --empty-- - - - - - - - - - - - 0.00
TE --empty-- - - - - - - - - - - - 0.00

K --empty-- - - - - - - 0.00

DEF --empty-- - - - - - - - - - 0.00

that's fine. i'll be sure to change it all once we 'figger out a setup we all like :)

The Killuminati are officially 'in'!

Where's mardukes?

I don't know if he still comes to these boards. I P.M.ed you because I saw you hanging out in O.T.and your team was rubbish last year ;) IIRC he was Bears fan, he may have decided to say good bye to this cruel Bear hating world. :mischief: Have you P.M.ed him? I decided against it- his team was too good last year :D

Fred's Freaks are ready to :spank: some butt. ;) :D

I bet mardukes is just sparing himself the embarrassment of another come from behind ass kicking by the "Squirrels" in the championship again. ;)

(Holds up 2003 CFC Fantasy Football Championship Trophy) . . . Come'on mardukes you know you want it! :nya:


Anyway, it's nice to see everyone back again, with a few new faces as well. I absolutely can't wait for Football season to begin.

My team names will be the Power Platypuses because of their sheer versaility.

I hope it doesn't start for two weeks because I'll still be on vacation. I have a computer here at my uncle's house but after this week I won't anymore.

Can someone give me a quick rundown of events transpired?

You're right, he was too good last year.

@Chris - It is good to see some familiar faces here. Tim and Dukes are the only ones not here, if I'm not mistaken.

Oh, make sure you polish up the trophy for the Killuminati...err, I mean this year's champion. I'm assuming, of course, that you didn't pawn it off.

Man all of this anxiety on waiting for football man I just want to rip someones head off.

you know, the new madden game comes out in a couple of weeks. that's usually what gets my juices flowin' for football season.

My email is squintoid@yahoo.com. Get me an invite or whatever. I'm definitely in, I was the first to sign up, you know...;)

you're in mate ;)

yeah i can't wait for madden, i hear they have some "hit stick" thing on defense where you can smash into people for fumbles and stuff, sounds sweet.

ESPN 2k5 is supposed to be only $20 or $25. I believe it was released today. Hmm, maybe a quick trip to Wal-Mart is in order.

The new Madden 2005 is schedueld to come out on August 12 2004

I looked this all up on EA Sports

I picked up ESPN Football 2k5 today and it did only cost me $20. I let you all know if it's any good when I get a chance to play it. I ALWAYS get Madden and I still might if this game isn't up to snuff but I'll give it a chance. It got very good revues and you can't beat a $20 price tag.

you can't beat a $20 price tag.

true dat.

funny that you bring up that game b/c that is the pop-up ad (2k5) that invades my browser when i clicked on the email link :crazyeye:

Nothing like the cold, unforgiving facts to take the wind out of my sails. :)
Things will be different this year though. I might have a running game. ;)
Makes a note - do not on any account draft Emmitt this year.

What do you think E. George leaving will mean for Tenn's running game, and

someone elses too? :mischief: :confused: :scan:

George signed with Dallas today. I think that Tennessee, running game will be really no worse except for less depth and Dallas running game should be pretty good with him and the Rookie Julius Jones.

Chris Brown is more than capable, but Tennessee has shown that now they are a pass-first team. I think the Titans could have Priest Holmes at RB and it would still be McNair who is the most valuable player on that team.

Dallas should be better, and you know Parcells will emphasize the run. George may not get 1,000 yards this year, but he may have more TDs than he has had in a single season in the last five just by the way Parcells uses him this year.

Yeah. Chris Brown should be able to handle the load, with Antwain Smith taking up some of the slack.

Not that the running game is a priority, mind you. I think they put more focus into the mascot then the running game.

It's actually interesting.. in George's prime and in the early years of McNair, the Oilers/Titans were a run-first team, which made sense given that Jeff Fisher was a defensive minded coach. I think Fisher has realized that you can't be rigid in your offensive thinking. If you've got a great QB and some good WRs, then let them throw and catch, don't handicap them just because you believe the best way to win games is to run the ball down their throats, play defense and win 14-10.

And I hate Fisher. I think he's a punk. But you can't argue with success.

Jeff Fisher a punk? :lol:

Eddie George really wasn't too good anymore. Let McNair do the running. he's better. :)

well anyone planning to build their running game around ricky williams is screwed-- he just announced his retirement :eek:

I am a dolphins fan and even if I wasn't I would say that he is a real loser for waiting until just before the season opens, If he had any dignity at all he would have told them that this was his last season and played though. Or told them before the NFL draft so the team could have maybe tried to find another back.
I THINK R> WILLIAMS IS AN ASS!!

And this is why we do not draft too early. :eek:

At least Ricky Williams can now be a national spokesperson in the fight against drugs...

Kind of sad to see Williams go. Didn't he win the Heisman trophy in college? He was the best runner in his last year. Odd how some players are amazing in the NCAA but don't do too well in the NFL.

Coach W is going to get the :twitch: this year. They gave up 2 first round

he had 6300 yards in 5 years, not bad, but good enough for his draft position

Instead of 'Run Ricky Run' it can be :smoke: Ricky :smoke: This really, really,

pisses me off :cry: :mad: :aargh: . Some advanced warning was definately

needed :eek: :crazyeye: :( .

You Betcha. His choice to go off to Asia and travel and such isnt so bad by itself, but it completely screwed up his team's abilty to score any points at all. Jay Fielder is not Dan Marino. The 'fins needed a running back, and WIlliams screwed them so they couldnt grab eddie george.

I wouldnt be THAT surprised if ricky came back in a few years though.

man, ricky williams really fleeced the fish. what a way to leave, huh?

my guess is that he was facing a 4 game suspension, didn't feel like facing the accompanying humiliation and figgered that his heart wasn't into it anyway and why not just take his ball and go home?

i hear that vikings rb michael bennett is on the block. he'd be a nice fit for the 'phins.

You guys don't understand- I've been a Dolphins fan since I was about 6 yrs
old- I'm 39 now :eek: :cry: . I have not liked their O since Dan left, now I
see no choice but to open up. :confused: I hope the O-line is improved over
last year though I don't see it :scan: .
Doesn't m bennett have law problems too :crazyeye: :( , or had them lately?
I've also heard rumors of s mack as an option, he is not too bad.

Temple in da house!!! (stacey mack played at the temple univ in philly)
mack ain't so bad. tough, hard-nosed runner that he is.

bennett, on theother hand, would be a nice breakaway threat. he's one of the fastest guys in the whole league. i've never heard of him and legal troubles though i could be mistaken. his only downfall is his propensity for the injury bug. if he's healthy, he's a top 10 back. no doubt.

sad to see williams go man I thought he would last long

'vanishing'.

That's not good that he left. Now the Dolphins are going to suck. :( :cry:

yes...most likely. I can only guarentee 3 loses for them right now...2 agaisnt new england...and one at the hands of MY CINCINNATI BENGALS!

To All CFC Fantasy Football Mgrs:

are you aware that we still have one (1) spot left in our league?

as my fellow civer drivebymaster once proclaimed: "let's get 'er done!"

Is that last spot still open?

Yes. 10 character limit.

Just PM El Justo there with your e-mail, and ask him for any particulars that aren't yet clear to you.

And then there was none.

BTW - What's draft day again?

August 19th, 9pm est(east USA) Welcome :wavey: :D

I PM'ed my email addy.


I can't wait for Football season to start. This is the first time in a Looooong time I have some reason to be excited about my Lions.

It's kinda sad when I'm excited about the prospect of going 8-8.......

@zapp

you're in fella...check your email

Thanks DG, but I thought it was 7pm EDT? oh well, I'll probably just prerank either way.

Zapp - I'd be excited about my boys going 8-8 this year too. Heck, I'll probably be happy with 6-10. :rolleyes:

Well, I am registered. My team is Rogers'CollarBone.

How is draft order going to be detrmined?


Sesn- not to sound like an idiot, but, who is your starting QB gonna be this year? I've not really been keeping up on whats going on out there.

Well, I am registered. My team is Rogers'CollarBone.

How is draft order going to be detrmined?

nice...you're the last one. we now have 16 teams! A mega-league!!!

fyi: there is a message board on the leagye website...sound off!

not sure about the draft order. i believe that the website assigns it to us.

i should take some time this weekend to format the site some more.

Zapp - ATM it looks like Tim Rattay will be the man. I hope he's healthy enough, because I'm even less thrilled about seeing Ken Dorsey or Brandon Doman out there. :rolleyes:

Zapp - ATM it looks like Tim Rattay will be the man. I hope he's healthy enough, because I'm even less thrilled about seeing Ken Dorsey or Brandon Doman out there. :rolleyes:

"Brandon Doman" :eek: :confused: - who is he & where is he from?
Dorsey is a winner, he could play well in the future ;) .

He's from BYU. Was supposed to be the next Steve Young. :rolleyes:

As for Dorsey, he was given the keys to the Mercedes, and just managed to not knock it up. He must have dropped to the 7th round for some reason.

Doman is like 28 already, start Dorsey and pray that Rattay comes back and lights the league aflame.

If any of you want to be in another league on yahoo. I ran a league with 18 teams last year and it was challenging and fun. I have 12 teams ATM and need 6 more, and I would rather ask people who I know(or at least talk with on message boards) than just having people I don't know and might not actually run there team.

the league ID# is 141477 and the password is phinsrock.
the draft is at 7pm pacific time on Friday August 20.

i fiddled with the scoring stats some on our cfc league. check it out and speak up if you don't like something.

also, it appears that we can't break the 16 teams into conferences or divisions. instead, it's 1-16 w/ the top 8 making the playoffs (weeks 14, 15, 16).

also, we can arrange our own draft order or have the site randomly generate it for us. what are your thoughts on this?

As far as draft order, I think the only fair thing is random generation or order.

I don't really care about the scoring stats, as I have never done this, and thus have no frame of reference.

I agree I think random order is the only fair way.

I'll check the scoring in a bit and let you know what I think.

Random order sounds good to me, its the only fair way. The scoring system looks good to me also.

but don't forget to change the starting lineups that you have required as 2 QB's, 4RB's 4WR's These absolutely must be changed!

hey drivebydude...

wassup 'wit your boy quincy carter? looks like testicleverde will start after all :p

can't wait to see jevon "the freak" knock the snot out of him this yr :D

but don't forget to change the starting lineups that you have required as 2 QB's, 4RB's 4WR's These absolutely must be changed!

no doubt. i'll get on it.

Is everything on for Thursday-Aug 19th at 9pm (est) ? Just making sure.

:) :scan: :D

sure is............

El Justo Quincy was kicked off of the team for mising practice again and the team owner has had enough with his "I am too good I don't need practice".

But Tevertan...whatever is a better QB hasn't got a lot of sacks where as Quincy had 36....36 sacks that is way to much for me.

When will we know the draft order?

Will yahoo select it at the time of the draft or could we have it select now?

It would be nice to know at which positions we will be drafting, so we can start getting ideas of who we each want to draft based on who should be available.

i just read in the philly daily news that carter was alleged to have failed a drug test for cocaiña :rolleyes:

@zapp dude
we can pre-determine the order or we could have yahoo randomly generate it which is what seems to be the best idea.

not sure when the site would generate it. definitely by the 19th i'd assume.

It randomly assigns the draft order 30 minutes before the event.

You can't get it to produce a draft order before then?

Seems kinda crazy, IMO. Some teams know where they'll be drafting before the season ends! :lol:

It would probably be best for our group if we knew the draft order plenty
beforehand due to the number of inexperienced 'fantasy' players. We may
have some pretty weak teams if some are not able to plan or we may not.
What do you guys think? :confused: :scan:

I'm on the fence.

I would be one of those "inexperienced" (read: none) players, but I also wouldn't want a top three pick because of it.

I'm in favor of the randomness more than anything. I would like to know where I'll be drafting ahead of time, but I'd much rather there was no special considerations.

What do you guys think? :confused: :scan:

Yes. I would like to talk to my scouting staff :) which consists of my cat and the neighbours dog :sad: so we can get our draft strategy nailed down. Knowing where the 'fish will be picking will be important in helping on us decide what we are going to be doing on D-Day.

I wasn't putting anyone down or making fun of anyone :blush: . It is just with so many teams it will be very important to have GOOD backups, and
there will not be too many available, especially at QB. Anyway we do it,
alot still will come down to LUCK--- and I'm a Phillies baseball and Dolphin's
football hardcore fan---so you see how my luck is going so far :crazyeye: :cry: .

i agree. then if someone can come up w/ a fair and diplomatic way to randomize the order, then by all means, let's get the order set ahead of time.

any 'idiers?

Sure, ask a mod.

Randomly assign each team a number, 1-16. Have the mod put the numbers in whatever order they wish.

You could even use the teams the way they're listed on the league site, so the mod wouldn't know who was what number.

I say a mod because there is supposed to be a certain amount of inherent integrity, but really it could be anyone. It would be something akin to drawing names out of a hat.

Just an "idier". :)

that sounds reasonable enough. also, for those of you out there who don't know how the draft order works:

rd 1 (& all subsequent odd numbered rounds of the draft)
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16

rd 2 (& all subsequent even numbered rds)
16-15-14-13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

thus the 'snake' method of drafting. be advised the best spot to have is right smack dab in the middle b/c you won't have to wait a long-arse time to make picks. the no. 16 pick has back-to-back picks which ain't too bad.

How many rounds is there in all?

Aaargh! I can't believe I missed this thread earlier this year!

I feel your pain..... I am a diehard Lions, and Tigers fan. :cry: :cry: :cry: ;)

But then that is kinda offset by being the worlds most hardcore RedWings fan. :goodjob:


As far as the draft goes, isn't there any site out there that could randomly place us? I'm not quite sure what kinda site, could do it. Perhaps I will go and look for one in a bit.

hey I just got word that i don't have to go camping when was the draft precissly

If it is not too late, I'm in with the Terrible Towels.

Um...Why is the league full? I just tried to register and it said it was full. This pisses me off because I was first to sign up. Who took my spot?

THEREFORE, for all of those interested, please post/PM your email to me so that i can put through your invite.


El justo put this up quite a while ago now. Why didn't you sign in if you had the invite?

I gave him my email quite a while ago. I forgot until now. I didn't think it would matter if there was a max 16 teams and he gave only 16 invites. So therefore someone took my spot and made two teams.

Absecon Beachbums - El Justo
Savannah Panthers - tcjsavannah
Springfield Atoms - Gumby78
Nuclear Device - OneFastWarrior
Freds Freaks - dgfred
Bulldogs - Drivebymaster
Silverfish - samildanach
Fighting Squirrels - Chris85
Spirit of Kitna - MummyMan
Ironclads - Azale
Drunk Monkies - Inter32
Galloping Ghost - Daniel Khan
Dante's Destroyers - SesnOfWthr
Killuminati - mayakovsky
Cobalt Ronin - Plexus
Rogers'CollerBone- Zapp Brannigan

Hey El Justo. Not to keep bugging you, or repeating myself, but....

with the draft only 9 days away, you still have us needing a starting lineup of 2 QB, 4RB, 4WR, 1TE,1K and 1 Def, with 5 bench spots. If you don't change this before the season, then it will really be sick when you will have to be starting 3rd and 4th string RB's and the likes of William Henderson in your starting lineup.

Please set a lineup, or tell us if this is what we have to deal with. I would like to do rankings for this league, or ??

sorry dude...i gave invites as i got the requests and compared them against who had actually signed up.

i'll set it up today...

starting lineup:

1 qb 2 rbs 3 wrs 1 te 1 k 1 def

no?

Also, have we made any progress on the draft lineup?

If we don't get it done soon, then we might as well just let Yahoo do it at draft time...

somebody suggested having a mod pick #'s out of a hat. i don't really care where i pick. i'd pull the #'s myself, right here at my desk at work :mischief: if everyone was fine w/ that.

if not, we could always let yahoo assign the order.

sound off cause we can get this done today if enough of you are ok w/ me drawing the #'s

no?

This is fine :goodjob: . I am fine with you picking the numbers at work ;) .

I suggested the mod, but it's not that improtant to me who picks the numbers, I just want to know where I'll be picking.

I believe we could trust ElJusto to pick the numbers himself and set the draft order for us. Also the lineup you stated is fine by me.

ok then. after lunch, i'll put the team names into my rubber band holder :mischief: and draw 16 down to 1.

here we go:

16: Absecon Beachbums-- 'doh'...what are the stinkin' chances? 1:16 i guess :crazyeye:

15: Dante's Destroyers

14: Galloping Ghosts

13: Bulldogs

12: Fighting Squirrels

11: Drunk Monkies

10: Nuclear Device

9: Springfield Atoms

8: Silverfish

7: Killuminati

6: Rogers'CollarBone

5: Cobalt Ronin

4: Spirit of Kitna

3: Savannah Panthers

2: Freds Freaks

and the no. 1 pick in the CFC Fantasy Football League goes to...

1. Ironclads

be advised that the draft order 'snakes' back and forth each round; ie the 1st rd goes 1-2-3, etc to 16 and then the 1st pick of the 2nd rd belongs to the team that holds the no. 16 pick (me actually).

to make it much simpler:

odd numbered rds are 1-16 and even numbered rds are 16 back down to 1.

i'll update our site as soon as i get a chance

&*^(*& it. 14th.

Hmm.... Second to last. Doesn't that mean that I lost in the SB last year? :lol:

On the upside, that means I get pick #15 and pick #18, right?

Of course, then I sit around until pick #47....

here we go:

16: Absecon Beachbums-- 'doh'...what are the stinkin' chances? 1:16 i guess :crazyeye:

Because you are a gentleman.


and the no. 1 pick in the CFC Fantasy Football League goes to...

1. Ironclads

The no.1 pick two years in a row!! Azale has clearly sold his soul to the devil :)

#12, Oh well. . . :crazyeye:

here we go:

3: Savannah Panthers


Excellent.. now if I can just remember not to put Ricky Williams on my draft list, I'll be doing OK :)

The only list of mine he is on is my HATE list :mad: . I pick 2nd :D - What
to do, who to pick :scan: ?

Because you are a gentleman.

thank you sir!!!

alright then...i switched the league settings around to reflect the correct amount of starting players. as mentioned before, they are as follows:

1 QB 2 RBs 3 WRs 1 TE 1 K 1 Def/Sp Team

the remaining spots on our rosters will consist of bench players and their total amount will be 8 and can be applied to ANY position.

also, the website has a chat board we can use during the draft so we can talk our shiznit. btw, i can't tell what cfc user has which team b/c the names vary. it's confusing :confused:

Looked at all of the posts, some listed their team name in posts. Also, compared e-mail addresses listed on both sites to match them up.

Looks like we've got a regular Sherlock Holmes here. ;)

i've set the draft order on the website. i guess that means that we're ready. who all is gonna do the live draft? i'll be there ;)
