Fantasy football

[NCSteeler]

The majority of league owners have already made their selection of ten players that they are keeping for their perspective teams. So, over half the league has 10 they want. Nobody is forcing anyone to keep "scrubs" as you call them on their team, what's being asked is that every owner pick 10 players out of 21 players that "they chose" to be on their team last year, to remain on their team this year.


Don’t Take Things Too Seriously – It’s a Game After All

All the above things can be summarized with this one. Fantasy football is a game. It is a fun, participatory game that isn’t played individually in most situations, but as part of a group. It is meant to be fun. It is meant to build friendships, camaraderie and football savvy. It is not supposed to cause hurt, pain, or break up relationships.

But, unfortunately, it does.

As with most things in life, feelings and emotions get in the way. People take things seriously that shouldn’t be. Family should be taken seriously. Religion should be taken seriously. Some would argue politics should be taken relatively seriously. A game should not be taken too seriously.

When owners get too wrapped up in the game, begin to take everything said or done in the game as though it is a personal affront to them, they quickly bring the spirit of the game down, sapping any enjoyment of the game for all involved. They take things out on others in the league, begin arguments about nothing that matters, and for the most part make people wish that they’d never joined the league in the first place.

Don’t be that guy, or girl.
Enjoy the game for what it is.
Have fun.
Play to win.
But most of all simply play to have fun!

If after everything I've said, still can't get you to see that majority rules, and won't let you drop the beliefs you have, I don't know what else can be said.

I think it might be you taking it too seriously. All I did is post some concerns. I don't take any of it seriously and am one of the owners who long ago submitted keepers, BUT I submitted plenty that I don't care to have on my roster and will be drops as soon as the draft is over with. I believe there are many teams in this league in the same position. That is all I'm saying . IDC if it's addressed or not.

[KATK9]

Moving right along.

Got it! Turns out I had TWO accounts with ESPN for some reason, and was accessing the wrong one.

[KATK9]

I'm glad you got it taken care of.

Good to hear.

[steeldevil]

Keepers selected. I think I did it right.

[KATK9]

You're good to go. Thank you

[suitanim]

Just realized our draft is scheduled right in the middle of the preseason game against Atlanta.

I'll be at that game, so autodraft, here I go!

Anyone have a problem with changing the date to accommodate Suit?

[43Hitman]

I have no problem with it.

[The Duke]

If it can be changed then of course

as long it's not at the same time as the SU Yahoo league though

[KATK9]

How about Sunday 28 Aug at 3:00pm ET?

[HometownGal]

That would definitely work for me Kevin!

[suitanim]

Sorry (ducking).

I'll be at the Indians game then. Hey, what can I say, I like live sports!

You don't need to accommodate me, but I did think that it would be a problem for a lot of people to draft in the middle of our preseason game.

Why can't we do it on Friday night then? Or are you getting laid that night Randy?

Errrrrr.........ummmmmmmmmm.........sorry. Going to a concert that night.

[HometownGal]

Errrrrr.........ummmmmmmmmm.........sorry. Going to a concert that night.

Maybe we can do it one evening next week if everyone else is available. Give us your schedule for next week and I guess we'll go from there.

[suitanim]

It's not fair for one person to hold up the whole league. I can draft any night starting this Sunday (21st) through the 25th. I can draft next Sunday night after the game (it's a 1:05 start). But, like I said, if it's a problem just draft without me...

[KATK9]

How about Saturday Sept. 3rd at 8:00pm ET?

[HometownGal]

How about Saturday Sept. 3rd at 8:00pm ET?

That works fine for me Kevin!

Randy - if you have anything planned for that night, cancel it damn it!

[suitanim]

That's fine...I will NOT schedule anything for September 3rd at 8 PM. I might be going to the Akron/OSU game, but that's at noon and will be over at 3PM, so I should be home by 6, 7 at the latest...

[steeldevil]

So it is Sept. 3rd at 8 for sure now?

[KATK9]

Yes, for sure.

[suitanim]

I almost accidentally scheduled a triple feature at the drive-in movies. Last weekend for it and haven't done it this summer, but caught myself at the last minute. LOL!

[Hindes204]

So with the draft so close, shouldnt our rosters be empty except for our keepers?

Also, one of my keepers is now out for the season with an ACL, am I just shit out of luck?

One more thing...anyone know the Draft order? I think i should be picking 5th, but Im not sure, any way we can find out before the draft starts?

If you log into the site and pull up your team, it will show your draft order as well as your waiver order. I'm drafting 3rd from what it says.

Good Luck all!

Yep you are S.O.L. on your keeper that got injured. You can drop him once the draft is complete if you think he isn't worth a roster spot.

[KATK9]

Unfortunately that's the way it is as far as injured keepers, I'm in the same boat, I have Terrell Thomas CB on injured reserve but he was one of my selected keepers, I can't change him out, I can, but will not disturb the integrity of our league. Non-keepers will be removed 1 hour before draft. As HTG said, your draft order along with your waiver order is displayed on your team page.

Point well said.

[suitanim]

Looking at the pre-draft ranking system, it would appear that the site hasn't weeded out already kept players, so there is no real way to pre-rank other than to guess which players might not already be on teams.
