Wallbanger Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 [quote=DocStevens;448555]I would be interested as long as it is not going to be like the GDS Fantasy Baseball game and everyone quits after I dominate and they realize they can not beat me. And I am just mentioning this since I notice many of the people in the baseball league are signing up for this.[/quote] For me at least, and I've said this before, the ESPN baseball interface is so kludgy that it's nearly impossible to use properly, on top of which the fact that the whole lineup locks every day after the first afternoon game pitch means I can never set lineups when it's convenient for me. And I'll admit that baseball is probably fourth or fifth in my sports-following priorities, so that contributes to it as well. Part of me wants you in the league just so you can eat crow for the smack above -- this was an active, competetive league last year. The rest of me doesn't want your attitude in what was a fun, friendly league last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blindly accusing me of cheating in the baseball league (which I'm still very much active in, by the way) and then failing to follow up on ANY correspondence is just a ****ty move in my book, and I don't have the time to waste on ****ty people.

mjdgoldeneye Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Disregarding everyone else's posts, Doc, your post alone tells me that it would be a bad idea to invite you. If anyone wants to participate in this league, they're going to have to be civil, friendly, and a good sport. You've pretty much proved you're none of the above... If you take that as us being intimidated or some bizarre crap, power to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchise22 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 is there anyway we can do the draft on sunday the 3rd? i cant get off work on saturdays. just realized the second is a saturday :( if its too much trouble i may just have to do an auto draft if available (cpu picks for me). or....*gasp* not play :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchise22 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 [QUOTE=mjdgoldeneye;448331]I presume you are "Suit Up"? If anyone new joins (or if anyone changes their team name) post here so I know who you are. Also, should we consider having 6 playoff teams (and 3 playoff weeks) instead of 4 (and 2 weeks)? I think it might be unfair in a potentially close league to only allow 4 of 14 into the bracket. Also, if we allow 6 teams, should the playoffs be week 14-15-16 or 15-16-17?[/QUOTE] avoid week 17!!! bad for fantasy almost in any case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjdgoldeneye Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 The playoffs are set for 6 teams, 3 weeks (14, 15, 16). As you become aware of any plans or the lack thereof, can I ask that you all send me a list of days you will/will not be available from around July 19th-August 3rd? That's the most favorable drafting period, IMO. I doubt we'll find a day when all 14 managers will be able to draft, but I want to find a day during which most of us can be around. Also, any particular time period that will work well for you guys? I suggest earlier than 3 for sure... One thing I hate with a passion about Yahoo's pre-draft rankings system is that you can't choose when to draft each position. Nearly everywhere else that I have played, you choose when each position gets drafted, and the computer takes the highest ranked player in that position remaining. At Yahoo, it'll draft you 5 RB's in a row if that's how your rankings fall... :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallbanger Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I dunno, I kind of prefer taking best player regardless -- I can always trade for holes in the roster if I need to. Best though to be there if you can to make those more subjective judgement calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjdgoldeneye Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 Ok, time is up for anyone from last year that hasn't joined up. There are 3 spots open for anyone who wants to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crychon Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 For some reason I've never done well on Yahoo fantasy football, but what the hell? I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjdgoldeneye Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 2 spots left! I think I'll give this until July 10th before I finalize the list of managers. 12 is probably optimal, so it's fine if things stay the way they are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjdgoldeneye Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 It's not July 10th, but I don't see any more sign-ups coming and 12 is the perfect #, I I'll freeze it here. We could keep our settings and not have universally disappointing rosters that way! :D Now is [B][SIZE="5"]DATE SETTING TIME:[/SIZE][/B] Below is a list of dates. Remove any dates you'll be unavailable, and we'll cut it down by elimination... July 21st July 22nd July 23rd July 24th July 25th July 26th - Draft must be before 3 PM EST to accommodate one manager July 27th - Draft must be before 3 PM EST to accommodate one manager July 28th - One Manager Unavailable July 29th - One Manager Unavailable July 30th - One Manager Unavailable July 31st - One Manager Unavailable August 1st - One Manager Unavailable August 2nd August 3rd I'll be away from the 5th of August for about a week, so I want at least a day for me to be around and correct any possible errors in the league. Most dates prior to July 21st are unavailable, probably full from having lots of people set to draft those days, I'm guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masterded Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I can get on that almost anytime. As long as it is before 2pm ct on sat or sun (durring the week I can find a way to get on no matter hwat time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i effin rule Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Not trying to hijack, but I thought I'd let people know that my ESPN league (I believe nZane is in it) is looking for 5 people to finish out the teams for this season. If you're interested shoot me a pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imarevenant Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Will be gone the 28th through the 1st, so I'll most likely miss the draft, no biggie though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjdgoldeneye Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 Ok, I set the draft to be July 26th, at 12:15 EST. It can still be changed, but this is what draft day will be unless a large # of managers are unavailable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallbanger Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Should work for me, but I'll have my pre draft rankings in place anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjdgoldeneye Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 I'll bump this. Whether you have a problem with the date or not, I'd appreciate a response. I want to see who we should be expecting on draft day... It's still a little more than 2 weeks away, so you guys may not know if you'll be around, so no problem if that's the case. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappyboy Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 What site y'all using? I might be in if you're using someone decent. But if it's Yahoo forget it. Tried to do a league there as a last minute stand-in as a favor to my usual commish. Supposedly all site charges where supposed to have been covered for me. I couldn't change my line-up after Week 2 because of Yahoo grousing at me about not having paid for the privilege. Will never play fantasy through them ever again.

(Less complicated than ESPN and more in-depth than NFL.com...) Actually, my only problem is that Java hates me and caused me to erroneously take like 37 guards in a row during the basketball draft on Yahoo... Not Yahoo's fault though, really... :( If you join, we'll need another player, but if we can't get another GDSer, I've got us covered. I'll bring in my friend who plays in all of the other GDS fantasy sports... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
