Fantasy Football Lols and Woes
« on: Tuesday August 21, 2018, 02:46:43 PM Eastern »

While some people are psychotic about fantasy football, I am in one league (Keep 6) with the old crew that is now splattered all over the country, . . . needless to say, it’s a drinkin league that ain’t to serious.


That being said, I may change my team name to “I AM F*CKED THIS YEAR”.  I do have the #2 overall so Im debating taking Perry and having two top RBs. . .

    I was in 2 fantasy football drafts for several years. I finally got tired of those drafts and quit before last season.  In the one draft In was just like the Caps. In 20 years in that draft no other franchise was even close in to me in winning percentage in the regular season. Always choked in the playoffs though. Only 3 times in 20 years did I fail to make the playoffs. There was one guy in our league that only made the playoffs 4 times in 20 years but he won 4 championships. I finally won my first championship in the 20th season then I called it quits. I won the championship in my other league that season too and called it quits after 15 seasons.
    There was too much collusion in both leagues. The fun was taken out of it. There was some totally brutal trades in our leagues that somehow got approved. Some very questable waiver moves as well. One guy in our league actually released Tom Brady so his buddy could claim him.
     Anyway enjoy your fantasy football league. Goodluck.


Just a thought guys. We could run an online fantasy league through this site. And it doesnt have to be football. It could be hockey or baseball. Hell I've tried fantasy golf before.

May as well run one through here, you just need participants.


Maybe, .... maybe if the Skins show some life this year I may start watching a few games again. But more importantly, I have no interest in supporting the rest of the overpaid spoiled millionaires until they figure out that they are being disrespectful during the national anthem. 1: during it is not the time for a protest. 2: when they are taking part in team activities, i.e. practice, games and appearances wearing a jersey, they are on the clock. No one in this country has any 1st amendment rights while on someone else's clock per federal law. 3: This whole thing started under a lie.

   Ya the disrespecting of the national anthem is just flat out wrong. I understand they are trying to make a statement but they are going about it the wrong way. Those that are involved are disrespecting the entire nation and all citizens of the USA.

Well most of us (that do this lunacy), have had theror drafts by now.   As you can see i am total re-build mode.   While risky, though. . .I have 3 top 5 picks from '15 and '16, and landed the top two rookie WRs (both on pretty damn good teams). . .So while exceptions are very low, there is reason to be optimistic for the upcoming seasons.    (Is anyone surprised that D and the kicker we’re my top priorities?  Laugh all you want but they score more points than 70-80% of receivers.

     It really depends on the scoring systen your league uses that determines the value if a player.
     The leagues I was in were rb driven leagues but that changed. The NFL became a passing league and teams started using platoon systems in their back field. We ended up tweaking our scoring system to increase the value of running backs.
     When our league first started I loaded up on RBs and Qb. I had only one decent reciever. I did have a good TE as well. That was in 1998 so I dont remember my entire team. I remember my starting lineup other than my defence.
    As for kickers and defence scoring. They did score high but  I tried not to compare them with other positions. Kickers and defences are more if a crap shoot. You dont know which kicker or defence will score high that particular season.
     Anyway good luck
