We're both 2-2, but I have 73 more points than him. With 350 points, I've got the second most in the league.
The Teaminconsequential got off to a good start in the draft, choosing:
Round 1) Jamal Lewis
Round 2) Donovan McNabb
Round 3) Chad Johnson
But then the booze must've kicked in; he took San Fran RB Kevan Barlow in the 4th and Mike Vanderjagt in the 6th. (A freaking kicker in the 6th round, you've got to be kidding me!!!)
We've been downright cordial to each other so far - we even conducted a trade before the season started. He's been talking some serious smack with thearmchairguy, though.

Talking shite is about all lil' Polly is good at, and he struggles mightily at that. I'll admit that he beat me by a couple head-to-head, and that as an absentee owner for the draft, my QB's (Harrington and Pennington) were damaging to my early season, but that will change.
With one of the top backs (Barber and Jones), and QB's (Manning...E. not P.), McCardell having a what could be a career year and a few fillins here and there, I'll turn it around.
You know, the same way I came from the cellar to whip Polly's ignorant arse in fantasy baseball this year (in fact...everyone's ignorant arses).

In the matchup I've been waiting all year to win, The Loon absolutely destroyed the Teaminconsequential this week 87-35. Kicker Mike Vanderjagt was the second highest scorer on the latter's team with 8 points! The Teaminconsequential has now lost five in a row, and sits in 11th out of 12 places, and has been virtually eliminated from playoff contention.
After all the smack talk over the past several years, the Teaminconsequential showed he knows absolutely nothing about fantasy football.

I've always felt that:
There is surely a large luck factor in fantasy football, but doing your "homework;" research and analysis into matchups, injury reports, etc. can usually overcome a great deal of that.
The luck factor should affect everyone equally. It's NOT just you.
Even if the luck trumps all, the research and analysis, while time consuming, is fun and makes me appreciate all teams and players besides just that of my favorite NFL team. It also keeps me occupied and away from less useful activities like drinking and/or looking at porn. :D

I do that research stuff and try to find steals in the free agent market. I also have a habit of sitting a good player if he has a bad week, then he'll go off the next week.
Sometimes you get really bad luck, for instance McNabb is my #1 QB, and Rothelisberger is my #2...and they are both hurt :( so needless to say i didnt have a QB this week but amazingly i still have a chance to win my matchup if Gado comes through

did you enjoy yourself on your foray into charm city?
I did enjoy myself in Baltimore. I had originally planned on tailgating, but opted for light rail when I found out that all the lots are reserved pass only. It baffles me how cities like Baltimore and Pittsburgh build stadiums with parking lots that are all reserved pass for season tickets holders only. How can there be no parking for out-of-town visitors, or locals who only see one or two games per year? When I go to Philadelphia or Giants Stadium to catch a game, there's plenty of parking everywhere.
I parked in Timonium to take the light rail down, but it was out of order so they used buses to bring us in. Can't beat a $3.50 round-trip ticket!
The stadium is nice. I especially liked the hospitality tents set up all around the outside, I think that is neat touch that I haven't seen at other venues. The venue set their all-time single game attendance record, mostly due to about 20,000 Steelers fans there - terrible towels were waving EVERYWHERE. This was like a home game.
The Baltimore fans around me were very cordial. I liked their self-deprecating humor - they cracked jokes about the team finally scoring a touchdown (Oh, we can score 7 points at a time?) and the hot debate of the day was who stunk worse - Boller or Maddox. There were a few fights in other sections between rowdies, but we were buying each other beers! It was a good game, and we all shook hands afterwards. Of course, after the win there were "Steelers sucks" chants and a lot of "Go back to Pittsburgh" yelled in my face as I exited the stadium, but that's to be expected. It was the high point of the season for them, and we''ll still be playing in January. :p
After the game, the bus took an hour to escape the city traffic - that sucked. The light rail better be fixed when I attend next year's game. :D

I lost in the semi-finals this week because my RB, Sam Gado, strained his MCL tonight after only 6 carries and was lost for the remainder of the game. I would have advanced to the Superbowl had I played Mike Anderson instead - I left 21 points on my bench, arggh!!
I hold my head high, having accomplished my goal of outlasting the disc golfers in this league that I know - Cong, Atwood, Nesbitt, and Paul MD21954 Lichtinger. I'll be playing for third place next week and none of them even made the playoffs. Seeing the latter, The Team Inconsisent, fail miserably was worth the price of admission alone. :D
The way Heap came out had me sweating but soon as Gado went down I knew it was over. It feels good to be in the Superbowl of Congs league considering my team (autopicked) is next to last in Hawks league. Best case scenerio- I win Cong's league as well as the football pick league that sandalman set up.

I'm okay with being able to select whoever you want as long as there is a salary cap. That way you can't wield a lineup each week of all the best players that are competing that particular week; you've got to pick and choose carefully.
But the real reason I didn't join any fantasy golf leagues this year is lack of interest. It gets exciting during the majors but nowadays and during the months of October and November it's almost painful. Just having to set a lineup then becomes a chore.

No it's not ready yet, but I did pick up a new Orioles cap today at lunch. I wanted to take the pulse of potential participants to see if there was a preference for the head to head weekly showdown or an ongoing cummulative roto points scoring system. People tend to like the head to head for the win lose experience, but all of your effort is generally for naught (except for tiebreaking playoff spots) vs. the roto scoring system where everything counts, but I worry that more people might stop participating if they fall way behind in points two months in. Of course the same thing happens now, but it might be worse. I will be limiting the number of moves teams can make in all future leagues. This will be known as the Piranha rule from now on. ;) The other thing I wanted input on was trades. Do we want league voting for approval, or just let trades go through unreviewed? I've tried it both ways now, but I haven't decided what I like better. There is flaws with both ways.

Yes. I haven't decided on what the number will be, but I want to up the pressure a little bit for people to pay attention to the drafts (which will all be live starting with baseball) so it will be a small number. The number will obviously vary from baseball to football to basketball. Also in baseball and basketball I'll have more DL slots so teams can "call players up" as oppossed to having huge benches.
Moderator005
Jan 25 2006, 05:43 PM
I just looked back at my fantasy football leagues, and the number of moves varied from a low of 1 to a max of 61, with the average almost exactly 20. Typically only one or two owners in each league exceeded 30 moves, so I think 30 would make a good number for maximum amount of moves.

I don't have enough interest in major league baseball to warrant a position in a fantasy league, so here's a nugget of fantasy advice: Take Phillies 1B Ryan Howard in the 3rd or 4th round. I watched this guy slug the home run record for the AA Reading Phillies (my hometown) and he continued his big-hitting ways in Philadelphia last season after taking over for the oft-injured Jim Thome. He has belted six dingers already in Grapefruit play this spring.

If anyone would like to put their baseball team management skills into practice, maybe consider joining the Sun King Discs "Aces & Bases" Fantasy Baseball League. The league is for disc golfers only and we have 10 spots open at this time. It's a head-to-head league with playoffs. Sun King Discs will pay out merchandise to 1st, 2nd & 3rd at the end of the year.
Can you dig it?

Good Advice, even I could hit 25 HR's in that little league park your Phillies play in....Get ready to chalk up a loss EVERYTIME Ryan Franklin is on the mound for ya. If your sitting in the bleachers when he pitches, wear a helmet ;)

I'm a fan of the AA Reading Phillies, not the Philadelphia Phillies. I just know 1B Ryan Howard from his minor league days in Reading and have taken a casual interest in his major league career. I have heard he is slamming home runs like crazy.
I have no idea who Ryan Franklin is. :confused:
Ryan Franklin is in the Phillies starting rotation...I'm just bitter he is making a couple a million a year, and I went 3 for 5 off of him in the 91 Oklahoma State Championship game. That ladouchebag is collecting a MLB paycheck while I am collecting PDGA caychecks that are minus about 3 zeros.

Wow, those are some interesting league settings. Besides the 'Piranaha' rule (maximum # of moves = 15) that league will have 7 defensive players, (!) 1 point per completion and -1 per incomplete pass for QBs, and 1 point per 10 return yards. Quarterbacks are at a premium (I would probably take Peyton Manning in the first round) as are good kick returners.
Yeah, Some of Hawks settings are quite harsh, but it's still fun.
Discgolfers Grudge League, is also up and running, with I think 6 slots full so far, so get them before they are gone.

Those league settings look good, Cong. May I still recommend:
<ul type="square">
A cap at 10 or 12 teams maximum. Head-to-Head 16 team leagues dilute the available talent too much.
1 point per 15 or 10 reception yards. 1 point per 20 yards de-values WRs too much. Remember last year how the contribution of WRs was nominal.
Milestone scoring: 1-3 points is a fair bonus for acheiving the milestones. 5 points is too much.
Milestone scoring: 300 yards passing and 150 yards rushing are fair. 200 yards receiving is not. I don't feel like looking it up, but I'm willing to bet that 200 yards in a game is achieved only once per twice per year. [/list]

Now we've seen it all!
I thought that fantasy sports couldn't get any wackier when I found out about fantasy fishing and fantasy NASCAR a few years ago.
Then there was the announcement of the Fantasy Fashion League (http://www.fantasyfashionleague.com/) over the summer.
Now there is Fantasy Congress. (http://www.fantasycongress.org/fc/)
What is Fantasy Congress?
Fantasy Congress� offers you the power to "play politics." As in other fantasy sports, you - the Citizen - draft a team of real-life legislators from the U.S. Congress and score points for your team's successes. Join a league and compete against other Citizens, or form a league of your own! Play against your friends, family, bloggers, fellow politicos, or even a sitting U.S. Senator (one could be playing incognito, you never know!). On weekends, move Members of Congress into your active line-up or off your team to strategize for the upcoming week of legislation!
Educators, Fantasy Congress is the perfect tool for bringing home the process of legislation and the role of Congress to your students. Our database is the largest and broadest of its kind, and is updated daily. At the intersection of all of this information, students follow legislation precisely, monitor members of Congress of their own choice, and best of all compete with their friends in the game, in a classroom league or in informal leagues of their own design.
Now that you know what it is, make your decision: Watch politics or play politics.

Note: Each team gets 7 trades for the playoffs, three to begin. If you run out of trades, you have the option to buy more, but don't do it! The fun of this game will be to see who can produce the best fantasy output with the limited number of trades given. Don't let this become a contest where the guy who buys the most trades wins by default.

You should know by now that I don't care for fantasy baseball at all, or even baseball that much. I'm somewhat forced to follow the Philadelphia Phillies because everyone and their grandmother is a Phillies fan where I live.
I also get dragged to a AA Reading Phillies game once a year when my wife's friends want to attend Mini-Kiss night (http://bensbiz.mlblogs.com/bensbiz/2007/10/what_a_way_to_g.html) or some other promotion.

It's Yahoo, pre-rank your players then set it for autodraft. Then work with trades and waivers. You're not going to get all your prime picks in a live draft anyway. :D
bazkitcase5
Oct 21 2008, 12:06 AM
yea but in a live draft you can set up a draft strategy - deciding what you need most when it is your pick
if your auto draft nets you a center with your first pick, then you probably don't want another center with your 2nd pick, but theoretically, that could happen depending on how you rank your players
if i'm going to spend time playing a fantasy league, i'm going to try to win lol

And then there were eight. We used to do the drafts around 8 pm (if the slot was available from Yahoo!) but many of the participants missed those as they were out socializing. Even with Live Drafts we only usually see 20-25% of the league members participating.
Anyone else in...?

Hawk - Just a comment on the roto baseball league - the big problem is that there were so many "negative" counting statistics. I was able to allow a few guys to build my rate statistics (batting average, etc.) and then when people got hurt I just... let them sit there (or in the case of 3B - didn't play ANYONE in the slot all year). Because by virtue of having nobody in the lineup I couldn't add on numbers in those. I mean, look at the statistics I racked up points in:
Hitting: CS, E, GIDP, K and BA.
Pitching: L, H, BB.
With those as my base all I needed to do was luck into a category or two and wham - easy win. You just need to eliminate the negative counting statistics to make a roto league effective.
Though I do favor going to H2H next year anyway, I enjoy it more. I'd suggest doing one of each really. Hopefully I can make the drafts next year, I lucked into Greinke this year.

Chris,
All valid points. This was our first dabble with roto and I think we all learned alot. I am going to go back to H2H next season, and if there is enough interest I may do a roto also.
Too many categories was definitely a problem. It was difficult to analyze your teams strengths and weaknesses.
Generally I like to have some negative categories but you point out one of the problems with doing that. We'll only have ten categories going forward.
One thing I'm going to do is eliminate wins and loses so pitchers are are competing with batters on a more even field i.e. batting avg. vs. era. This should minimize the old run a bunch of pitchers through to get wins or saves.
