cane corso Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 I am going to start a fantasy football league on ESPN (it's free). I plan on keeping the league to a max of 10 - 12 teams, head to head, and a live draft. Although the league is just for fun please don't join if you cannot commit to finishing the season. The last few years we had too many teams quit during the season. I think by keeping the league to 10 - 12 teams there will be more talent to spread around, so if you have an injury or something there will still be starters available to pick up. I would rather create two leagues if we have a lot of interest, otherwise there are not enough players to go around. I guess it will be first come first serve, so just PM me your name and email address - I have to email the invites. 1. cane corso 2. captDS9E 3. reeldeal 4. Lupo 5. Whooter 6.

cane corso Posted July 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 FYI.... All the scoring and preferences are set at the default. Once the league fills we can discuss and make any changes that you would like. The date has not been set for the draft (ESPN does not have the dates yet). I guess if we don't fill the league with members from here we can open it up to friends/family. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

reeldeal Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 bit of a bump here, just to see if anyone else is interested any idea on when the draft will be held? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cane corso Posted July 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 The date and time appears to be whatever we want. I figured once we fill the league we could find a time. We need 5 more teams. I guess I will give it another week, hopefully some of the usuals will join (Calvin, Leslie, Brian, Bruce, etc.) If not, we can open it to others. ESPN has a lot of different options. You can have joint owners (in case you don't have time to manage a team by yourself), can trade draft pics, etc...should be fun.

cane corso Posted July 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Well, we need 4 more people (2 if you want to make it a 8 team league). We have plenty of time but I know some may want to get a draft date set. Do you want to open it up to others or wait a bit longer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeldeal Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 i'm fine waiting i don't mind a late draft, lets injuries and hold-outs play out a bit more before investing high round picks on players that aren't going to suit up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogieman Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I'll play, if it's not too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cane corso Posted July 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 We have eight. I would prefer at least ten no more than twelve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Leslie & I would both like to play. Sent you a PM with the info you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cane corso Posted July 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 We have ten teams! Do you want to wait and see if we can get two more or would you prefer to leave it at ten? What about the draft? I am assuming evenings are the best, would you prefer weekend or weekday, any dates you cannot make, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeldeal Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 10 is a nice number. nice and round and whatnot. i can make pretty much anytime of draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cane corso Posted July 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 It's locked at ten. All invites have been sent, let me know if you have not received one. I also set the draft for Aug 27, Saturday at 9:30 ET. Let me know if that date doesn't work, I can change it to anything I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeldeal Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 what's the tie-breaker for playoffs? oh and somebody get joey to update his team, he's going to miss out on a chance at the playoffs if he doesn't... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whooter Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Actually, you mean Joel and Gary. Todd Heap just made my Christmas card list... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cane corso Posted December 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Hmmm....I thought you won but when I looked at it this morning I thought it had Mark penciled in. Good luck! BTW, my team didn't deserve to be in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary P Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 This has been a real treat after toiling in last place all of last year. Anyhow, here's my dilema. Do I play Peyton Manning and risk him only running a series or two, or do I play David Garrard who hasn't played half bad himself and I don't think they'll bench him for hte 3rd stringer? PS. Todd, if you had beaten me for the 3rd time this season I was officially writing off fantasy football:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whooter Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 PS. Todd, if you had beaten me for the 3rd time this season I was officially writing off fantasy football:) I came dangerously close to losing to Mark three weeks in a row... :eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Good luck Joel & Gary - hope you keep it close! Man,did my team stink this year...I think my wife beat me twice... At least life isn't a total loss - I'm in the Super Bowl in my other Fantasy Football league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeldeal Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 I came dangerously close to losing to Mark three weeks in a row... :eh I'm actually quite upset I didn't beat you that third week in a row. Your team absolutely went off this week! I couldn't believe it, every time I looked at a scoreline i'd see a TD next to your players...and i knew them so well having met you three consecutive weeks. i was at the oilers/flames game last night and i heard the score in the mnf game and knew that the only hope was that the defense had scored 35 of the points. Stupid Warner, he was on pace for a huge game that would have made it interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary P Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Looks like we're going right down to the wire. I'm 9 points down with Torry Holt playing tonight. C'mon Torry, I need a TD tonight:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whooter Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Gah! Stupid Bengals! They took all the starters out after the 1st quarter and KC ran wild on 'em. TJ Duckett was no prize, either... I'm worried, with Dallas having nothing to play for, that St. Louis might successfully go to Holt a few times.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
