2006 Yahoo Fantasy Football Leagues - 07/21/06 07:02 PM
Douche Bigelow: Welcome sports fans as we welcome you live from the GangsterBB Fantasy Sports Arena. I'm Douche Bigelow and with me is one of my co-commissioners, Plawrence.
Plawrence: Thanks DB. Yes, it's great to be part of another year of fantasy football. Look here, we've already got the brats on the grill, the drinks on ice and BOOM... the leagues are ready.
Douche Bigelow: Yes friends, plaw said leagues - plural. This year, we will have
two official GBB leagues. The first is the Yahoo Head-to-Head League. This is the fourth year we've had this league on the GBB and because of some troubles in the past (some players thought dedication meant only making it to the draft, if that), the Head-to-Head league this year is by invitation only where the GBB's best of the best of the best will match their wits and skills as they battle towards the GangsterBB Bowl.
So....those of you who were invited know who you are....
Plawrence: Yeah. Nothing worse in a Head-to-Head League than people who stop playing in the middle of the season and don't set their rosters and give up easy wins to other players.
So.....
Our second league, a brand new league, will also be on Yahoo and will be a points-based league. No conflict of uneven schedules here. Doesn't matter if people play every week or not. Simply, you draft the best, you make the best moves, you score the most points - BOOM - you win. This league will be open to any and all who want to particpate (including those in the Head-to-Head League).
So you can join both leagues if you like, or just one
The live draft will be held on August 31st at 7:45 PM Eastern.
To register, go to
Yahoo Fantasy Football Our league's info:
League #: 235544
Password: Barzini
Also, the points league will be limited to 14 number of teams so if you're dedicated and want to play, REGISTER NOW and be part of GBB fantasy football history!
Douche Bigelow: Thanks plaw. BTW, to keep everything nice and simple, we'll be using the same scoring system for each game. We'll be back with further details (league settings, scoring, etc...) but all I can say is it's going to be a blast!... Well folks, our host (and third co-commissioner), JG, has just joined us.
[addressing JG] JG, we'd like to thank you for letting us use the GangsterBB Fantasy Sports Arena for all these years.
JG: No problem DB! After the break, I'll talk about last year's league and will also share my real thoughts on our defending champ, DonMichaelCorleone.
Plawrence: Now THAT should be interesting!

All you schmucks up in the booth talk about is how total points is so much better because it doesn't involve any luck of the draw. Oops. Gotta run. TO's grandma is in the stands.

I likesome of that stuff, JB.
I agree about Defense - not treated valuably enough in most leagues, it seems
I don't agree abut one-sided trades - they happen all the time in real life, and we've discussed this many times in the other fantasy games..
If I have two great QBs and can only play one every week, then QB #2 isn't worth anything to me unless QB #1 gets injured. If I have a guy at WR who figures to get me nothing every week, and I trade QB #2 for a WR who will get me at least some points, then that's a good deal for me because it improves my team.
The auction idea for free agents is interesting, but you really need dedicated paying attention participants for that.
Besides, in real life the worst teams get first crack at players on waivers.....
Interesting idea about extending trhe season thru Week 17, also.
I agree that "that's the way we always do (did) it" is a poor excuse for continuing to do it that way if someone can figure out a better way.
So which league(s) you gonna join, JB? Both, I hope.
And belated congrats on your Points Championship last season.
As you will recall, I always was the biggest proponent for Points Only and the biggest whiner/complainer about all the faults in H-T-H.

Re: 2006 Yahoo Fantasy Football Leagues - 07/21/06 11:10 PM
What's with the congrats, Plaw? I take that as an insult.
Thanks for the congratulations, but didn't you read the part about trash talking in the article? I expect a little something thrown back in my face. Let's face it, Plaw is slippin.
I'll definately be in both leagues. The only reason I sat out baseball was due to time constraints. I know I can set my lineup weekly and still participate, but it's just not the same. I'll use a poker analogy, since I know you're so familiar with it. Playing weekly when everyone else is playing daily is like playing hold 'em, except you only look at 1 out of 7 hands, while all the other players check their hole cards each hand. Even though I have less time during football season due to teaching and coaching, I'm still on an even playing field with the rest of the league. Getting back to participating in both leagues, DB might have a little something up his sleeve this year. We've been PMing back and forth with some interesting little ideas. I'm sure he's talked to you about it already, but I tried to send you a PM this morning to ask your opinion just in case, but it was full.
I really liked the idea of the auction for free agents. Especially with a free site such as Yahoo, which is slower than molasses when it comes to updating. In my baseball league, Wakefield still isn't listed as DL on the site, so I have had to wait to put him on my DL and open up a roster spot. As a result, another owner just went on today and picked up the 2 players I was considering to take Wakefield's spot. I agree it would be a little too much for the purposes of our league.
I agree with you about trades and the schedule idea. In the 9 or so years I've been playing fantasy sports, I've never had a problem in a league about an unfair trade. I've seen lots of one-sided trades, but never one where the two owners were in cahoots trying to pull a fast one. I like the idea of the playoffs because it adds another element of skill to the game which relies heavily on luck. Plus, even though week 17 is considered a bad week for fantasy purposes due to players whose teams have clinched sitting out, this does happen in week 16 as well, which is championship week in a lot of leagues.

Re: 2006 Yahoo Fantasy Football Leagues - 07/21/06 11:50 PM
We've never had a problem with collusion in trading, either; and collusion, IMO, is the only reason to not allow a trade.
That's why I think that the idea of a legue voting on whether or not to allow a trade is silly.
I have no problem making a trade that's one-sided man-for-man, as long as it helps my team.
You may remember last year in football, I wanted a better QB than whoever I had for my bye week. beth's backup was Jake Delhomme, and her bye week was over, so she didn't need him.
What she
did need was a WR, and my 4th WR was better than anyone she had and better than any of the FAs available, so we made the trade.
But there was a lot of complaining, because all things being equal, Delhomme was worth a lot more than the guy I traded away for him.
Except that given the circumstances, he was worth nothing to her since he wan't gonna ever play.
(P.S.: I used Delhomme in my bye week, and the guy I originally had as my #2 wound up doing better than he did.

Question :
If I cannot participate in the live draft, can I pre-set my player rankings and if I do will Yahoo AUTOMATICALLY draft for me if I don't sign on, on draft day?
Don Cardi

Re: 2006 Yahoo Fantasy Football Leagues - 07/22/06 02:33 PM
Where you gonna be? On another cruise?
Seriously - man, what a story that was
Anyway, yes. As long as your team is still registered in the league, Yahoo will draft for you in the order in which you rank the players, or in their order if you don't rank them.
I guess you'd make it to the live draft if you could, but try hard because there is an inherent danger in letting Yahoo draft for you.
Unless they changed the way thy do it, or I'm misunderstanding something, here's what happened to me two years ago:
I attended the live draft, but had my players pre-ranked to make it easier for me and to save time.
I had Dante Culpepper ranked in a spot that would have made him my 2nd pick, I think, and Donovan McNabb ranked next - my intention being to pick my QB second (after picking my top RB) and getting one or the other as my QB.
Unfortunately, however, my computer crashed after I picked Culpepper with my second pick, and when it was time for my next pick, since I was unable to make it myself, Yahoo drafted McNabb for me.
So now I had two QBs, and no WR or second RB.
By the time my next turn came, all the good RBs and WRs were gone.
Fortunately, though, there was someone who didn't make it to the draft at all - I forget who - and didn't get any of their first three pre-ranked QBs, so they were stuck with a nobody and I was able to trade McNabb to him for a WR or a RB, I think, but still.....
I would plan out my rankings strategy
very carefully.

"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages."
William Shakespeare contemplating his fantasy football league. :p
Well folks, we promised you league settings and gosh darn, we keep our promises here on the GBB.
Some highlights...
Season Duration -
Head-to-Head:Regular Season - Weeks 1 - 14
Playoffs - Weeks 15 and 16 (4 teams)
Points:Regular Season - Weeks 1 - 16
Scoring System - Both leagues will have the same scoring system (Please see next post). Please check out the revamped scoring for offense and defense.
Two ideological changes
- Return touchdowns - Unlike years past when return touchdowns were counted toward individual players, this year we will count these scores for the Def/Special Teams (e.g. if Dante Hall returns a punt for a TD, the score will count towards KC Def/ST, not Dante Hall.)
- Fractional Points - We will count points to the decimal point.
Positions - Like last year, both leagues will carry 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 1 TE, 1 Kicker, 1 Def/ST. However, this year, we will have one added position: a hybrid position that can either be filled by a WR or a RB.
Trades Deadline - November 17, 2006.
Trade Policy - Trades will stay pending for 48 hours. In other words, you better get people to accept your trade by 1 PM Eastern on a Friday if you want to play your new players for the 1 PM Eastern Sunday game.
I will only overturn trades in 2 scenarios:
1 - I am somehow convinced that an accident occurred in an accepted trade.
2 - If a trade is seriously, I mean seriously, out of whack - e.g. Peyton Manning for Kyle Orton. Usually, there's collusion if a trade like this goes down.
I believe Plaw has a similar view in his running of the Points league.
For a complete view of the settings, please click:
Head-to-Head Points The GBB League of Commissioners are always willing to listen to any suggestions to better the game. If you have any comments or questions, please let us know.
One remaining thing that I have to do is get back to you guys on my DNP policy for the head-to-head league. We made the league invite-only to protect against this, but we should have our rules/regs clearly detailed just in case.

Was this the same scoring system we used last year? The defensive scoring is certainly unique. I see you're on the same page as the Sports Guy.
Second, what do you mean by fractional points? If a guy rushes for 96 yards, does this mean he gets 9.6 points instead of simply 9?
Also, what is meant by an offensive fumble return? Correct men if I'm wrong, but I thought an offensive player couldn't advance a fumble.
Finally, regarding 2 point conversions, does the QB and WR both get 2 points on a pass play?

Was this the same scoring system we used last year? The defensive scoring is certainly unique. I see you're on the same page as the Sports Guy.
Actually, it's different from last year. Last year, we had QB passing at 50 yards = 1 pt and Rushing/Receing at 20 yards = 1 pt. This year, it's 22.5 QB passing yards = 1 pt and rushing/receiving at 10 yards = 1 pt. With the significant bump in offense, we similarly bumped up the amount potential points for Defense/STs (lest we favor offense too much).
Second, what do you mean by fractional points? If a guy rushes for 96 yards, does this mean he gets 9.6 points instead of simply 9?
That's correct. Mainly, I changed this because I don't like ties (which are now less likely).
Also, what is meant by an offensive fumble return? Correct men if I'm wrong, but I thought an offensive player couldn't advance a fumble.
I actually looked this up. For example, if Priest Holmes runs to the opponent's 5-yard line and fumbles, Tony Gonzalez would be credited with an offensive fumble return touchdown if he were to recover the fumble and score a touchdown (Yahoo's example).
As for your second question, I don't know. Anybody?
Finally, regarding 2 point conversions, does the QB and WR both get 2 points on a pass play?
Yes.
I believe and I could be wrong but that the SAME offensive player can not advance a fumble.

DB:That's correct. Mainly, I changed this because I don't like ties (which are now less likely).
PL: And I don't like the frustration of having a guy rush for 98 or 99 yards, and only getting 9 points - with the additional 8 or 9 yards wasted.

You mean you don't like the frustration of having
your guy wasting those 8 or 9 yards. :p Seriously though, it's an interesting idea. I like it.
Regarding offensive fumbles, DMC probably is right since Yahoo gave DB the example, but I always thought the rule applied to all offensive players. This rule probably won't even apply at all this year, so don't think I'm nitpicking about it, I'm just curious from an NFL fan's perspective. Let's use Super Bowl XXXIV as an example, the Rams-Titans thriller, since it fits this scenario perfectly. I always thought the NFL had the offense can't advance a fumble rule to prevent teams from purposely fumbling the football when they were wrapped up and about to be tackled. Otherwise, on that play, Kevin Dyson merely has to fumble the football in the hopes one of his teammates recovers it and scores a touchdown. The same could be said on any such play as time is running down or already expired. As soon as the player with the ball is about to be tackled, he can merely fumble the ball and hope his teammates somehow score. The chances are remotely slim, but they are better than the zero percent chance the ballcarrier has since he's already wrapped up.
I would expect Yahoo to know this, but then again, they can't seem to figure out the DL in the baseball game
, so maybe they don't know how the NFL works all too well either.
Heres what I got from a website:
Fumble
1. The distinction between a fumble and a muff should be kept in mind in considering rules about fumbles. A fumble is the loss of player possession of the ball. A muff is the touching of a loose ball by a player in an unsuccessful attempt to obtain possession.
2. A fumble may be advanced by any player on either team regardless of whether recovered before or after ball hits the ground.
3. A fumble that goes forward and out of bounds will return to the fumbling team at the spot of the fumble unless the ball goes out of bounds in the opponent's end zone. In this case, it is a touchback.
4. On a play from scrimmage, if an offensive player fumbles anywhere on the field during fourth down, only the fumbling player is permitted to recover and/or advance the ball. If any player fumbles after the two-minute warning in a half, only the fumbling player is permitted to recover and/or advance the ball. If recovered by any other offensive player, the ball is dead at the spot of the fumble unless it is recovered behind the spot of the fumble. In that case, the ball is dead at the spot of recovery. Any defensive player may recover and/or advance any fumble at any time.

Read this on ESPN.com today and thought some of you might like it as well.
Fantasy Football=Fantasy I have enjoyed being in a keeper league the past several years, but I have to agree about trying to make fantasy sports too much like the real thing. This isn't a game of Risk, it's fantasy sports. The league should be about the particular sport you're playing, not trying to turn every owner into Bill Walsh. The only strategy should be knowing the league's scoring system and knowing which players will perform the best according to that scoring system. That's the skill in fantasy sports, IMO.
It's like the difference between playing poker with real money versus fake money. The game will be completely different, even though they're both poker games. If you're good enough to play with real money, then step up. If not, then deal with the fact it's not real money. Fantasy sports aren't going to be an exact duplicate of real sports.

Re: 2006 Yahoo Fantasy Football Leagues - 07/31/06 02:08 AM
If the Gangster BB decided to hold a Fantasy Poker Game for the Poker Championship of the BB, I would play exactly the same way as I do when I play for money.
If I'm playing to win, I'm playing to win.
The game will not be "completely different" and there's no reason why it should be.
Unless everyone playing in a poker game for "fun" doesn't care of they win or lose so they call every bet and stay in every single hand until the last card.
But then, the author is wrong because "both games are not poker."
As far as the "reality" of fantasy sports is concerned....
If the goal is to make it resemble reality as much as possible, what's wrong with that?
Obviously, it's not reality, but it's certainly based on reality.
Maybe I don't get his point there.
He says "The only strategy should be knowing the league's scoring system and knowing which players will perform the best according to that scoring system. That's the skill in fantasy sports, IMO.'
Well, yeah....that and a few other factors, but who didn't know that and what does that have to do with trying to make the game realistic?
We know that fantasy sports aren't gonna be a duplicate or real sports...
So what?
And, if we do want to make it duplicate reality exactly, it's very easy to do so.
Figure out a scoring system, and then create a Points Only League in which everyone drafts entire MLB teams instead of individual players.
Then at the end of the season the winner will be the actual MLB team that has the most points and the results of the your league will exactly mirror the results of real life.
You draft the Yankees, the Yankees as a team in real life score more points under your scoring system than any other team, you win.

Re: 2006 Yahoo Fantasy Football Leagues - 08/12/06 07:10 PM
Sorry that this reply seems a bit outdated, but I've had some computer problems, hence my tardiness and disappearance from the league. Yahoo is telling me the league is full, so it's not letting me sign up again. They should have it fixed later today, they said, so I'll be back in both leagues.
As far as my poker analogy, I have no doubt that you would play exactly the same way, Plaw, but that doesn't mean everyone else would. If you've ever played a fake money table on-line, you'd know exactly what I'm talking about. If you have 8 guys playing seriously and 2 guys just fucking around, that can have a major impact on a tournament. Same thing in fantasy sports. My comparison is this: you aren't going to see people throwing around chips just for the hell of it at the WSOP like you would at a fake money table on PartyPoker, much the same as you aren't going to have NFL teams not showing up for games like some owners do by not setting their lineups each week in a fantasy league.
As far as my point about disliking how certain fantasy leagues are trying to become as much like the real thing as possible, I'll try to elaborate further. I view fantasy sports as primarily entertainment. I do it because I enjoy it, as evidenced by the fact that I play in what leagues I can on here for free. I prefer to play for money because it adds more fun to the game, making it more worthwhile. I don't participate in every league here because I simply don't have time. 4 years ago when I was still in college, I probably would have been signed up for every single league available on here, simply because I had more time. Now that I teach, coach, and enjoy the social life of a single, 24 year old, I can't devote myself to learning the details of a radically modified fantasy sports league. The reason I don't like the fact that some leagues are becoming more involved by trying to make it more realistic is the fact that it takes away from the fun of the game, in my opinion. At the very least, it makes it more like a job and less fun, and at worst, it creates a huge discrepency between teams that have a chance compared to teams that are destined to finish last not because they are an inferior fantasy sports owner, but rather because they can't dedicate as much time to it. Take your baseball league for example. There is absolutely no way I could compete in a league like that anymore because I simply don't have the time to dedicate to things such as starts in hand and average points per game at each position. I don't think people should quit playing leagues like this, I am simply stating I agree with the author of the original article that I don't prefer leagues like this. In some football leagues, they have cap penalties, practice squads, free agent signing periods, etc. in an attempt to make their fantasy league as much like real life as possible. Some of these guys spend as much time on their fantasy team as a normal GM does for an NFL team, but the GM does so because that's his career!
As I stated in an earlier post, I agree that subtle changes can make fantasy sports a better experience. The idea of a keeper league is a great format, IMO, that makes the game more fun and strategic, but doesn't require the owner to devote his life to his team. In the keeper league I'm in, all the owners are college graduates between the ages of 24-28. Some of the owners even have families already, yet we are still able to have a highly competitive league, despite the fact that we all have careers and attend an occassional NFL game in person rather than sit in front of the computer screen on Sundays so we can be the first to sign the newest 100 yard receiver or figure out our mean average under the salary cap from weeks 5-11. I'm not saying people shouldn't play in leagues like this if they want to. I believe that the standard format for most fantasy sports seems to be working just fine, so I prefer those formats compared to formats that try to make the leagues more "life-like".
So, in closing, my point was merely to post an article about fantasy sports since all the people in this thread participate in fantasy sports. Since the article I posted gave an opinion, I provided my own opinion as well. I'm not saying everyone has to agree with it, but if we never posted any thoughts we had that we feared wouldn't be met with 100% approval, then the BB would be a pretty boring place.

Re: 2006 Yahoo Fantasy Football Leagues - 08/27/06 03:57 PM
It may be too late for everyone to change leagues now and ensure that everything is set up by the regular season, but we should really look into moving the leagues to foxsports.com for next year. The set-up is superior to Yahoo in that the league page is filled with much more easily accessible fantasy info, it is much easier to modify the league settings to fit individual leagues, and, the Stattracker is free. It is basically the Sportsline site minus the $150 fee. We used Sportsline for years, but once it became a pay site went to Yahoo, which had its days in the sun, but this past year has became a gigantic piece of shit. Something to think about. For football it may not make a whole lot of difference, but for any baseball league you may do, it will be a huge upgrade. Assuming it's still free next year.

I won't be able to make either draft. I have Football practice on Wed Sept. 6th, and I am going out with clients on Thursday Aug 31st.
But instead of dropping out, I figured I'll pre-set my picks, let the computer draft for me, and I'll still be able to play.
Better than not playing at all for the whole season.

Well I
can make the 9/6 draft, so it's not like I won't be able to play at all. I wasn't thrilled about being in more than one draft league anyway, but, was willing. I'm still willing if the date can be changed. But I'm not into having the system autodraft for me -- to me, it defeats the purpose of having a draft to begin with, that's why I haven't joined the nfl.com league...

I guess that is what makes the world go around. While you see an auto draft as "defeating the purpose" I look at it differently. I enjoy being 'given' a team, almost as if being hired to a team with players already in place and then seeing if I have the ability to imrove that team through free agent signings, sleeper signings and trades. I like the General Manager aspect of Fantasy Sports as well as the coaching aspect.
The only 'live drafts' that I ever enjoyed were face to face ones where the team owners would get together in a bar or the back of a restaurant to hold the draft. Having a live draft on a computer just doesn't cut it for me. I get bored very quickly.

Since its points only, I might just auto-draft

As of now I CAN make the H2H draft. Tomorrow I need to decide whether to "autodraft" the PTS league or not. Cuz as I said, it doesn't matter if I'm active or not, right? :p LOL But DMC might not make it either........ so, I was hoping it could be postponed until next week.

Ya, I was the last guy who hadn't taken one yet, so I figured I might as well wait till the end, but when Lundi was there, I couldn't not take the guy. How can a starting running back be available in the 17th round of the draft? I guess I'll have to make a pickup before week 1. Not too worried about that position though.

That I can understand.
They're so far behind that they lose interest.
But 11 people registered for this game, no one is "behind" yet, and we've always had good attendance for the drafts themselves.
I know there a few people that would have liked to attend the draft last night but couldn't, but I don't know about the rest.
I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens when the season starts.
At least in a Points Only Game their actions don't affect anyone else.

What's the name of your team? And maybe we can make a deal. I'll take another look at my team if I'm able to while I'm at work and see if I might be willing to trade someone, I'm sure there's at least 1 or 2.

Thank you Plaw. It wasn't straight up, but it may as well have been. The trade was Crumpler and Jeff Reed for Cadillac and David Givens. Considering I already have Ben Watson, who will be a top 3 tight end by the end of this season, even if I was a moron who didn't realize how worthless kickers are, why in the hell would I want Crumpler? Maybe if I was so desperate I had already cut off 5 fingers and 3 toes, I would've considered it. I guess you can't blame the guy for trying though. I have seen much stupider things happen in life, so it was worth a shot.

We've held the draft in the evening for every game we've ever played that
had a live draft because most of the players usually
do live somewhere towards the East Coast.
In this game, 6 of the 11 players live on the East Coast, and two othes are in the Midwest, one hour behind.
It'll be about 1 or 2 in the morning for Turi I think, and 3 hours earlier, about 4:45 PM for JB.

Where do you think I'm from? North Dakota is Central time. The draft was at 6:45 for me, a perfect time, IMO. I guess it could start later, considering it only took a little over an hour due to the number of no shows.
Unless you were thinking of someone else in the league on the West Coast, but had me in the back of your mind due to my incompetence clicking a mouse button properly.

JG I'm assuming the fumble recovery for a touchdown is zero because the player would get 3 points for the fumble recovery and then 6 for the touchdown through the other scoring system. Thats what I'm assuming though, commish?
Posted By: Jimmy Buffer
Re: 2006 Yahoo Fantasy Football Leagues - 09/02/06 02:27 AM
My 2 cents: I agree with JG about return TDs. If you're going to reward special teams for a blocked kick, then they should also be rewarded for a return TD. Unless the return TD was referring to individual players, then I agree they shouldn't get anything. Special teams plays belong to D/ST units, not individual players.
As far as kicking goes, I don't really have an opinion. That is the most detailed kicking scoring system I've ever seen. I know it's an attempt to make the kickers a little more meaningful, but the fact remains kickers are basically just there. IMO, it just adds more luck to the game, since kicker's production varies so much from year to year. There really isn't the strategy involved in selecting top players like at other positions because history has shown that top kickers rarely stay that way from year to year. Plus, breaking a long TD run doesn't count for any more than someone who trips and falls forward at the 1 yard line and gets a TD, so kicking shouldn't be any different. Plus, if the goal around here is to make it as lifelike as possible, all FGs count for 3 regardless.
Despite all this pointless analysis(my school's high school football game just got over and I'm trying to warm up before I go out), it's kind of late to make changes. People drafted based upon the settings of the league, so to change them after the fact is not a good idea. Granted, from the looks of some teams rosters, most owners didn't put a whole lot of time into their draft strategy, but if even one did and it affects that owners team, it wouldn't be in the spirit of the game to change it now.

Oh yeah and have fun with the next draft you buggers. I can't make it but I'll be thinking of you all. Well not really but I'm anxious to what I'll be auto drafted.

Re: 2006 Yahoo Fantasy Football Leagues - 09/06/06 02:57 AM
Is there anyone else who would like to play in this league to take my spot? I don't really wanna bail the night before the draft, especially since the league is sitting at a perfect 12 teams right now, but I have a meeting I must attend tomorrow and I fucking hate autodraft. My team is gonna be complete shit, thus I'll have no chance of competing, so what's the point? I just thought I'd throw this out there in case someone else wanted in or another owner wanted out so the league could either stay at 12 or drop to 10.

Re: 2006 Yahoo Fantasy Football Leagues - 09/06/06 03:57 PM
Commissioner's Note Glad to be back, guys. Pretty interesting draft we had for the points league. It's too early to tell but my autodraft makes me nervous. My whole year rests on the gimpy shoulder of Clinton Portis and how I recover from the wasted 3rd round pick of Domanick Davis. My receiver position is a mess as well.
I just wanted to remind you all:
H-2-H Draft is tonight, Wednesday September 6th @ 7:00pm EasternAlso, I know some of you requested this and I wanted to make sure it's clear before our draft tonight.
Rules on Non-Playing Teams for the Head-to-Head League Hopefully, we won't have to resort to this since the H-2-H League was by-invite-only and I trust you guys to play the entire year, but if we ever come to a situation like last year where some guys just stop playing to the detriment of the league, I wanted to lay out my rules on it.
Plainly put, it's 2 Strikes and You're Out. Strikes are simple. If in any particular week, you play a player that:
- is on a bye week
- or is clearly not playing and listed as "Out" or "NA" or "IR"
- or you leave any roster positions empty
... you get a strike for that week. If a strike occurs, I will inform the league each Tuesday when I post the scores.
In my opinion, those are the only things that should count as strikes. I am not here to legislate strategy so if you want to play a "Doubtful" DeShaun Foster, go ahead. If you choose not to help yourself through Free Agency, that's your choice. But if you play a player that is clearly not playing, then you're hurting the competitive balance of the league and in the words of Vito, "that, I do not forgive."
Just to be clear, even if you have multiple infractions in the same week (e.g. you have one player on bye, one player on IR, etc...), that still counts as only one strike. Strikes are for weeks, not for individual instances in any particular week.
What happens after you get a second strike? You're out. You will be locked from making any more changes to your team. Control of the team will be shifted to the League of Commissioners (JG, Plaw, DMC and myself) and we will objectively decide on the best team possible from every week thereafter. The locked team will not be able to make any trades and can only make free agent acquisitions if the team is in dire need of filling roster spots (* subject to the Commissioner's discretion). If the locked team is playing someone in the League of Commissioners in any particular week, the playing Commissioner will step aside and the remaining two Commissioners will decide on the locked team's line-up.
There is one way to erase a strike though. If you decide to leave a roster spot open because you believe there were no viable replacements in your line-up or on Free Agency and you can convince me of that by PM or through the boards, then I will erase the strike against you.
Please let me know what you think.

DON CARDI : But I must have strict assurance from Plaw -- as time goes by and his position becomes stronger as a co-commissioner in the league, will he attempt any individual vendetta?
DON MALTA : Look -- we are all reasonable men here; we don't have to give assurances as if we were lawyers...
DON SICILIA : You talk about vengeance -- is vengeance gonna bring your Wide Receiver back to you? Or my Quarterback to me? I forgo the vengeance of my QB -- But I have selfish reasons. My backup QB -- was forced to leave the game, --
(then, as he stands, with SC's assistance)
-- because of this 2 strikes and you're out business. All right -- and I have to make arrangements to bring
him back to my roster -- cleared of all these false charges that he cannot play. But I'm a superstitious man -- and
if some unlucky accident should befall him -- if he should get a shot to the head by one of Cardi's players
-- or if he -- should hang himself in his locker-- or if he's struck by a bolt of lightning -- then I'm going to blame some of the people in this league.
And that, I do not forgive. DON CARDI : Then let me say that I swear -- on the souls of my runningbacks -- that I will not be the one to break the rules that Don Sicilia has made here today...

Great draft last night guys!
I think I speak for Plaw as well (for the points league) but in case we didn't say it earlier...
In regard to waiver position:
We will not be doing it the way Yahoo regularly does it, which is a cumulative positioning initially based on one's draft position.
This year, we are trying something new. Every Tuesday (around the time plaw or I post scores), we will reset the waiver position to the reverse order of whatever Yahoo places us in the standings. For the Head-2-Head league, the standings are sorted by winning percentage, then points. For the Points League, standings are by points. This way, players lower in the standings are given a better chance to improve their teams.
During the week, if teams make waivers, the movement in waiver position will follow standard Yahoo procedure.
I know this sounds a bit muddled, but really, it's pretty straightforward in practice.
As for Week 1, the waiver position will be by reverse order of draft position.

Now that the drafts are over for the two Yahoo fantasy games, and the other "Pick 'Em" games have begun, I'm taking the stickies off of all of them.
(Edit: Oops...looks like JG beat me to it.....
)
As far as the updates on the scores for the Points Only Yahoo game, I'm not going to be able to update them all that frequently for those who don't have StatTracker - like at halftime of the 1:00 PM games, then again at 4:00 PM, then again at halftime of the 4:00 PM games, then at the conclusion of the 4:00 PM games.
Possibly an occasional post with an update, but I can't commit to more than that, as DB and JG have done in the past.
If I can, though, I will post the scores as of Monday morning, with the players left going into the Monday Night Game (Which I'm gonna go and do right now).

Re: 2006 Yahoo Fantasy Football Leagues - 09/11/06 04:48 PM
To echo Plaw's comments re: scoring, I've found that having a wife leaves me with a lot less time to update the scoring. I can definitely guarantee you a Tuesday morning update, I can almost guarantee you a Monday morning update, but beyond that, I can't guarantee.
To those that don't have it, I definitely recommend StatTracker - best $10 you'll spend.

I just moved into my new condo last week and don't have internet yet, and probably won't for awhile thanks to yet another error on the part of my cable and internet provider.
I'll try to keep my team active, but last minute changes, like Duckett all of a sudden being out and screwing me in a different league, I might not get to. If this affects the league I apologize. For whatever reason, the internet filter at my school blocks foxsports and yahoo, yet allows me to get in here.
You figure it out. That is the reason for my lack of participation in all the ESPN fantasy games I signed up for. I was supposed to have internet as soon as I moved in, but apparently that is too much to ask of someone without an education above the 6th grade. :rolleyes:

WP changed from 'old order' to 'new order'
First off, I don't know... in the H2H league, is the commish overriding the waiver order, or is this automatic?
I'm wondering - even tho it's H2H -- if the Commish is going to override the waiver order, shouldn't it be by points (team strength) rather than rank (luck of the draw)?

I don't know what you mean by "luck of the draw"? Just my opinion, but I feel that winning percentage is just as good an indication of team strength as points, especially in a H-2-H league. Also, points are taken into account when comparing teams with the same records.

Re: 2006 Yahoo Fantasy Football Leagues - 09/14/06 03:07 PM
Speaking about a player on Waivers. I have a question.
If a player is on waivers, let's say until Saturday, and I put in for him on Thursday, why doesn't YAHOO allow it to be a 'Pending' waiver claim?
Instead, Yahoo says that you must wait for the date that the player actually comes off waivers BEFORE you can try to claim him.
Why not allow somone to put in for a player thats already on the player list that clears waivers in say two days or so, and leave it as 'Pending' until that player comes off of waivers? Why should you have to actually wait until the exact day that the player comes off of waivers to actually make the claim on the Yahoo site?

Re: 2006 Yahoo Fantasy Football Leagues - 09/14/06 03:20 PM
I don't know if I'm understanding you properly, DC.
The way I understand it, if a player is released, he goes on waivers. The waiver designation will be taken off 2 days from the time he is waived. If someone tries to claim this player while he is on waivers, it will say something to the effect of:
"Player A for Player B pending until Sept X"
If no one else tries to claim him or at least if no one else with a higher waiver priority tries to claim him, the team trying to pick up this waived player will get him.

It is a pending claim. It's just not guaranteed that you'll get him.

Instead, Yahoo says that you must wait for the date that the player actually comes off waivers BEFORE you can try to claim him.
The reason for the wait period is two-fold - (i) to give all league participants a chance to see who was waived (otherwise, the guy who checks his league every 5 minutes will have dibs on all waived players) and (ii)to prevent collusion.

Why not allow somone to put in for a player thats already on the player list that clears waivers in say two days or so, and leave it as 'Pending' until that player comes off of waivers? Why should you have to actually wait until the exact day that the player comes off of waivers to actually make the claim on the Yahoo site?
You can make your claim anytime the guy has a waiver designation. You just won't know if your waiver claim is a "good" claim (i.e. you actually get the player you want) until the wait period is up.

Exactly. And Yahoo is NOT allowing me the "Player A for Player B until Sept. X" option.
Instead I am getting an error messege that says
"There was a problem. You cannot pick up this player until he clears waivers. (Error #245)Back to previous page "

Weird, it doesn't do that for me. In fact, I just tried to make a waiver claim on Jerry Porter (just to see if it works) and it worked for me... Let me email Yahoo and see what they say.

It sounds like you're trying to pick up a player you waived yourself. If you waive someone, then you have to wait until he clears waivers before reclaiming him.

If you're interested, here's the response Yahoo gave me...
Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Fantasy Sports.
You cannot make a waiver claim on a player you initially dropped. The
rest of the league has first shot. If they should become a free agent,
then the team can add the player. Enjoy the season.
Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Customer Care.

I just saw this, sorry for the delay.
I know DMC had a similiar question... To be honest, I don't know why that's zero. I set up the scoring on the H2H league. I put "Offensive Fumble Return TD" at 6 and plaw was supposed to copy it on the Points League, but Yahoo must have not registered properly.
Plaw?

In Yahoo's example, if Priest Holmes runs to the opponent's 5-yard line and fumbles, Tony Gonzalez would be credited with an offensive fumble return touchdown if he were to recover the fumble and score a touchdown. At least in H2H, TG would get credit for 6 points only. Only Defenses can score 3 points off of fumbles.

Re: 2006 Yahoo Fantasy Football Leagues - 09/18/06 02:27 PM
Commissioner's Note I will send RB a PM, but normally, he starting Trent Green this week would be a strike against him. But he won't this week mainly because I'm still working out the system and there's no way to know if the "O" designation was put on Green right before his game (where it would have been a difficult piece of news to catch) or if it was placed on him sometime during the week (where he should have caught it).
In any case, from here on out:
I will check rosters every Friday early evening (5 PM Eastern) and I will note who has an O, NA, or IR designation. If any of these players are playing on your team on Sunday and they still have these designations, you will get a strike. As before, if you play a player on bye week, that gets a strike as well.

In Dusty we don't trusty!
It was time for a change. He's turned from a "player's coach" to a "player's apologist."
What really needs to change though is the Tribune Company ownership of the Cubs. For far too long, the only thing the present ownership cares about is that the stadium is full and are only willing to make the one or two moves every offseason that will keep it that way (I'm sure you can relate with me on that one, Bethie). This mentality does not build championships.

Sure. The only difference is our ownership doesn't even care about filling seats.

Of course I'm the one playing Plaw this week, right? As I'm positive that he wouldn't want anyone to throw a game for his benefit, I'll gladly (try to) kick his ass this week. He'd rather lose fair-and-square than get a cheap win. And heck, he may just kick my ass anyway!
Commish Committee: Please be sure his roster is top-notch, even if you have to make some pick-ups...!

Re: 2006 Yahoo Fantasy Football Leagues - 10/06/06 07:29 PM
Commissioner's Note Since the start of the season, I've been rooting for Plaw's team to win more than any other, including mine. As we've been doing for the last couple of weeks, the League of Commissioners has been managing his teams to make them as competitive as possible.
Just to let you all know how we've been doing it, every Friday, I've been conferring with DMC and DC to make lineup decisions in both leagues. This week, we're putting our collective heads together to make sure JG gets creamed!
I want to say a big thank you to these guys. You've been great!

Chris Brown: Surprise Scratch
Sunday, October 8, 2006
Update: Brown is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Recommendation: Brown wasn't even on the injury report, so this is a surprise. Travis Henry gets the start in his place.
:rolleyes:

I
know Plaw had a hand in that last interception so Jones didn't have a chance to score! And making sure Brown was out of the game for no apparent reason. :p
But in any event - it was close - but Plaw wins...

That'd give you 3 wins total, right?

DC should have won if Chester Taylor & Brad Johnson didn't have such a lousy showing. I thought for sure I would have lost heading into the game with things being so close.

Dose Focking whores! Maricones!
Your TE Watson having a 15 pt. game on top of Johnson and Taylor's horrible game is what beat me.
You beat me by 14.41 pts.!

Just curious, how come the football scores in the "Bug Thread" has something added about someone kicking my butt?

The best trade I ever made was in '04 by acquiring Peyton Manning. This was the year he set the TD record. I got him for Warrick Dunn and Joey Harrington. This guy really needed a RB b/c his primary RB, Jamal Lewis, was headed to serve his jail sentence. Plus he had McNabb at QB, who was going beserk.
Long story short, I had Manning, TO & Alexander and ran away with the league.

Since the boss didn't approve of this discussion in the Help section...
Care to wager something on the Giants / Bears game? .....and then double or nothing on the head to head game?
Don Cardi
I'm usually loathe to wager on football games with money.
How about something more interesting? Way back when, Big Daddy, Buffy, Plaw and I would sometimes wager signatures or titles... e.g. instead of "Underboss", it would say something like "Plaw is my fantasy god" for a couple of months.
Another bet involved the loser writing poetry dedicated to the winning team/poster.
Who says quality on this board is declining?
What do you think? Any other ideas?

That's a pretty bad trade. Joey friggin Harrington??
Not quite as bad as the following trade that happened last year (JG remembers this quite well
):
PL trades TJ Ford, Ron Artest, Nick Collison, and Antoine Walker to JG for
Lebron James, Kyle Korver, Wally Szczerbiak, and Speedy Claxton.

Re: 2006 Yahoo Fantasy Football Leagues - 11/19/06 08:05 PM
I just want to apologize in advance to DB for Lee Evans blowing up while having Mark Brunell in at QB. The internet was down at my condo the last 3 days. The cable guy just got it hooked back up. Plus basketball season started this week, so I don't have any extra time in the classroom to check my fantasy team. Sorry, but my kids and my team come before you guys and gals, however, I do hate it when someone doesn't keep his or her team active in a head to head league. I'm slightly more pissed about the fact I was stuck with Portis in my lineup in another $200 league I'm in. The internet is back up and the connection has been repaired, so it won't be down again anytime soon.

And now I'm pissed because I've made plans for tomorrow not realising there's not only games on tomorrow but THREE! For as long as i've been following the NFL I thought there's only ever been two games played on Thanksgiving. Three games and I'll probably miss all of them. Noooooooooo!

Turi
It's a new thing this year. And you're not the only one who will miss the 3rd game. The night game (KC-Den) is being shown on NFL Network, which over 30 million cable/satellite subscribers do not receive. I get it on DirecTv, but that seems to be the only interesting game today. I can't bring myself to get excited about TB-Dallas or Detroit-Miami.
Have a happy Thanksgiving everybody!

For as long as i've been following the NFL I thought there's only ever been two games played on Thanksgiving. Three games and I'll probably miss all of them. Noooooooooo!
Turi
It's a new thing this year. And you're not the only one who will miss the 3rd game. The night game (KC-Den) is being shown on NFL Network, which over 30 million cable/satellite subscribers do not receive. I get it on DirecTv, but that seems to be the only interesting game today. I can't bring myself to get excited about TB-Dallas or Detroit-Miami.
Have a happy Thanksgiving everybody!
Our network showed all three so I'm not sure how much they paid for that. 12 hours of football I missed it all because I made plans. I should get my priorities right.

Week 14 coming up! We essentially have 2 playoff games this weekend.
Win and you're (almost) in!
DC vs. PL
TU vs. GO
JB has an outside shot of getting into the playoffs if he can do the following:
- Win his game against DM
- Score enough points to rank ahead of at least one of the winners in the matchups above (in terms of cumulative points)
Should be exciting!

Yes, a great comeback by Plaw's team! Both he and I were in the cellar the first 4 or 5 games of the year. And this past week it came down to his and my team. And who actually beat me? Drew Brees, the QB that I recommended that you pick up for him off of waivers the 3rd or 4th game into the season. It was a very interesting race between us.
I can here him laughing at me now!

Re: 2006 Yahoo Fantasy Football Leagues - 12/11/06 08:15 PM
Your matchup yesterday must have been bittersweet - as has this whole season.
BTW, Plaw actually drafted Brees from the beginning (11th round :o). You recommended that I pickup Leftwich, who was helping Plaw's team out a lot until he got hurt.

Yes Don Sicilia, you are correct. It was Leftwich who I recommended.
It was very bittersweet. But I'll tell you this, I am glad that it was Plaw's team that beat me out in a playoff like showdown than having another's team beat me out like that.
I promise you, if Plaw were around for our head to head game, there would have been a lot of shit being thrown back and forth between he and I all week long leading up to the game, and you can bank on the fact that he and I would have had a wager of some sorts on our game.
Very bittersweet.

Re: 2006 Yahoo Fantasy Football Leagues - 12/12/06 01:52 AM
So close yet so far. Oh well, maybe next year I can actually find time to draft my team and won't get stuck with 2 kickers and 2 defenses.
Speaking of which, I think we should lock our points rosters and turn it into a keeper league for next year. Maroney, Jones-Drew, DeAngelo Williams would look pretty nice for next year.
If only Edge and Cadillac hadn't been complete worthless pieces of shit. I get 2 top 10 guys in my first 2 picks that turn out to be complete busts and still remain in contention. Can't complain too much I guess. Good luck in the playoffs.

Yeah, you closed out the season really well. You missed the playoffs by 24 points which is just under 2 points more per week that you needed to score. I'm sure you already knew that.
Edge and Cadillac screwed your season too? I had them in the H2H League. I feel your pain.

I just wanted to send out a big congratulations to Goombah, the GBB Superbowl champion this year! His team was strong throughout and rumbled his way through the playoffs. Now the question is: Can goombah repeat or is he a one-year-wonder like our friend DMC?
As for the points championships, it will come down to the wire between the artists formerly known as the Penis Twins, JG and DMC.
[Insert "breathing down his neck" joke here]A belated Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays to one and all!

Thank you Don Sicilia. I appreciate the invitation to play this year.
I would have preferred to have beaten anyone but Plawrence's team. I'm glad to see his team do so well - Plaw deserved it.
As far as defending my title or being a one-year wonder, I'd bet the latter.
I started off very well, then went into a slide, but somehow bounced back in the playoffs. Frank Gore & Ladell Betts were great additions to my roster - I could not have done it without them b/c my WR were less than medicore.

Yeah thanks Goombah, it would have REALLY sucked for me to have beaten another person

Congrats JG for winning the points league championship. Added to his tainted
(ahem) Pick 'Em championship, he ruled this fantasy football season.
Seriously, great job!
