AHHHHH....yahoo messed us up. unfortunately there was a microcosmic moment of time where the 11th guy in our league signed up, yahoo attempted to start the draft and noticed an odd number of managers - then automatically changed the draft to an autopick draft, and then the 12th guy signed up. unfortunately i cannot get our draft time back for tonight due to yahoo not being able to due instantanious changes. i can set the draft for tomorrow evening at 7pm or we can all select a time together. sorry about this...it was out of my hands. is tomorrow okay for everyone? please post below or PM me about your preference i will set up a time most convenient for everyone.

first, thanks for expressing your concern. it is great to have active members in a FFL. i think that the issue of not having enough BNs has been addressed sufficiently...unless you think 7 is not enough...then let me know and we can discuss. second, here is why i like the limited number of BNs. when you draft and trade you HAVE to account for things like BYE weeks. you cannot just grab players because you like them, you have to like them and do some long term planning. if you DO end up with multiple players having BYE weeks the same week, it forces you to either accept a 0 for their position for that week OR (which is a major strong point) increases activity in the league by stimulating trades, drops, waivers, and FA pickups. lastly, having limited BNs eliminates owners that get lucky during the draft/waivers/FA pickups and stash away talent - not to use the talent on their team but to prevent others from having the talent on their team. having said all that, i am sticking with the 7 BNs for now, unless the league demands more or less of them. voice your opinions please....everyone.

i did increase the number of benched players this year....although i think having the number low added a little more strategy into the whole league. last year i had either 4 or 6 benched players....this year i selected 7 bench players and actually decreased the number of starters from 18 to 17 (i dropped a WR) does this sound ok? now that i think about it though i almost don't like the 7 bench players. 5 or 6 might be sufficient. what does everyone think?

for the most part, yeah....there are certain limitations but it is generally very customizable

so what details of the scoring system i devised should be changed in your opinion? like i said, i am open to suggestions.

if you are not present for the live draft then the yahoo will automatically draft players for you based on their rankings - that is UNLESS you modify their rankings to your liking

5 spots taken....7 spots left....Your live online draft is set for Thu Aug 11 7:00pm EDT, which is 2 days, 3 hours, and 26 minutes from now

please make sure that you pre-rank your players so that you get the players you actually want rather than have them drafted in the order that yahoo puts them.

3 spots taken....9 spots still available. come on people!!! its frickin' fantasy football. what do i have to do? find some sharks with frickin' laserbeams on their heads?

welcome aboard! 2 down...10 to go...tick tick tick tick tick tick tick

bump....i assume ppl aren't joining because no one else has so far. don't be afraid to be the first or second to join. if enrollment isn't high enough i will delete the league anyway. let's play some fantasy football baby!

i believe you can view partial downloads. you must, however, cease downloading before the file can be used in another manner (like watching it). just exit out of your bit torrent client (program) and then go to the directory where it is saved. give one of the files the clickity click and enjoy the show!

just started to seed it again....you should be getting ~40kb/s from me

I put this on the Stadium Wall so that more people will see it and the league will fill up faster. Please leave it up on the Wall for a day or two. Please http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1...inprivateleague League ID#: 356799 Password: cookies I don't know about the rest of you but I am DYING to have a draft and get a league going. The other leagues that I am in don't begin until the end of this month and I just can't wait that long anymore. Please please please please do not enter this league if you do not fully intend to stay active and competitive in it for the ENTIRE season. This league is very deep and high scoring points-wise. It should be a challenge during the draft because the number of players on both offense and defense that will be available to consider. Please e-mail me (you can find my e-mail after you sign up for the league) or post messages on the message board on the league's homepage if you wish to discuss the points breakdown or any other concerns/questions that you have.

YESSSSSS!!!!!! this is gold....good find over at bb.com

normally i don't don't try to insult people or anything.......... but this time i just have to say DUH

naw i have no problem calling someone out for their performance - whether good or bad. TD is no exception to this. i do have to give credit to him for signing an RB with great physical tools and some experience playing in the NFL prior to moving henry. the move looked good before. now it looks brilliant! now we need to address either signing verba to play LT or lock up clements. both of these moves need to be made, and the fact that they haven't yet is a BAD move by TD. see? a BAD move...i said it.

looking over the bills' depth chart, i now find joe burns, lionel gates, and shaud williams as the backup RBs for the bills. not for nothing, but none of those guys have shown the ability to fill in for long stretches of time during and NFL game. but wait........look..........its a bird, its a plane, its....its...... and experienced NFL rusher with starting experience. its rashard lee - who TD snatched up from dallas months ago knowing that he needed someone to be able to carry the load for the bills while willis needs a rest. yes, that is just during the time when willis needs a quick breath of air or a swig of gatorade, because other than that willis will never leave the field while the rest of the offensive unit is out there. there will be no talk of any other circumstances that would cause willis to miss a play or in severe circumstances, a series. there will be no talk of the "I" word, because even though rashard lee is capable of filling the gap for a few plays, the bills need willis to be in there to put fear in the heads of the defense - whether we run or play action them. thanks for coming to buffalo rashard!

SAAAAWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!! sidenote: Jarhead - where has everyone gone from the rivals board? are you still active there? did everyone relocate to a new place? its been pretty dead over there.

awesome....even better

sorry 'bout that last post.....i posted it before i realized that someone already had the same thought later on in the thread annny way....i think the biggest dropoff would come if nate clements was injured. i just don't see mcgee being #1 CB material and moving vincent back to CB really isn't viable considering his speed being limited by age

actually we don't really know that.....when was the last time one of our LB's actually missed a game? maybe we have some sleepers playing back there learning from the best LB core in the game.

personally i think straight rhubarb pie is better than strawberry-rhubarb. the strawberries are too sweet and overpower the great natural taste of the rhubarb. that all said....rhubarb pie is my #1 FOOD.....not just #1 pie mmm...time to make pie

how about andre johnson? i would consider him as well. he is a beast with ALL of the tools.
