Fantasy Football 2013 Edition

This is my fifth year to run a 12-team, semi-keeper league. We’re looking for new owner/GMs for three teams. Here’s what you’ll want to know:

Starting lineups are: 3 LW - 3 C - 3 RW - 4 D - 2 G. Bench is 4 players of any denomination. You may keep a maximum of 4 F, 2 D and 1 G. It’s a head-to-head league. Top 3 in each 6-team division make the playoffs. Dues are $25USD. Payout is: 1st - $175  2nd - $100  3rd - $25 Players on the available teams include: Matthews, Tavares, Eichel, Laine, Marchand, P.Kane, Panarin, Hellebuyck, Price, Dubnyk and many more. Online draft is set for 8:00pm Central on 2 October. Keepers must be set by 1 October.

Let me know here if you’re interested. Teams will be awarded on a first come, first served basis.

He reminded me more of a guy selling produce from a van of the side of the road than the evil dictator he was.

Guess the 700 Club’s Pat Robertson can now stop demanding his assassination. LoL

@Jermofoot:

On Life is a Brees, I’d recommend trading a WR or two for a solid RB.  I’d also “float” your D/ST  as the Jags aren’t very good and there’s usually a D/ST in free agency that has a good matchup.  Just rotate them in and out as needed.

Loose Goose looks pretty solid to me.  Unless you get a great offer, I’d keep it as is.

Hurt Locker is hard for me to say.  It looks like a deeper league (maybe 12 people?), but your opponent looks like he had a slightly better draft.  Without knowing options, I’m not sure what to tell you.

I won, although I had a little doubt going into Monday’s night game.  Julio Jones didn’t do much, but it wasn’t necessary anyway.  Victor Cruz and Reggie Bush really saved my ass.  I’m tied for first in a 3-way tie at 2-0.  I face one of the other undefeated this week.

On Hurt Locker, yes… It’s a deep league (16 player). They all started drafting QB’s early (Joe Flacco went start of the second round) cause they didn’t like the scoring system. I kept drafting normal, and next thing I knew I had this lopsided team. Should have changed middraft.

@ABWorsham:

What you guys think about the Wade Phillips getting fired as Cowboys head coach?

I don’t think he was a huge problem, but he definitely was part of the issue especially when it came to raising hell how the Boys are losing.  Honestly I don’t have much hope for Jason, and think Jerry needs start by removing himself from GM.

I think his ‘player coach’ attitude slowly worn on the organization. I know he didnt cause the bad choices on the field, but someone’s head needed to roll.

I’m hard pressed to put it into words. I think opposed isn’t the most precise word for it. I just don’t like them.

They seem as much geared to a need for instant gratification as opposed to seeking the best. They feel like when teachers allow extra work at end of term to make up for low test scores or other poor performance earlier on.

I think they diminish the regular season. They often create situations where one team has to beat another twice to be conference champion.

They feel more geared to society’s seeming fascination with seeing the mighty brought down than with the raising up of persistent excellence.

The conference championships and especially calls for a playoff seem to fall back on some sort of law of the jungle meme, you couldn’t beat me today so I’m the best! But that oppurtunity seems to be handed out on making an exception to that rule. “What do you mean my pleas for fairness are unfair to you? Who said life is fair?”

It comes across like extending the race one more mile because you didn’t like the winner.

Maybe it is that it can often seperate in my thinking ‘best’ and ‘champion.’

Craig, a friend of mine and former flatmate, asked me in how far the performance of the american football will depend on the temperatures in winter 2006. My opinion is that the more blue the teams have in their shirts, the better they will perform if it is cool. Less blue means they perform better if it is hot.

your opinions?

It’s a good story, nonetheless, and possibly has some actual roots in some dark corner of history. :wink:
