G|A Fantasy Football 2008

guiseppewv · 07-28-2008, 06:30 AM

I am thinking about starting a G|A FF league, unless someone else is. Is anyone up for some FF this year?

Prngr44 · 07-28-2008, 08:58 AM

I'm ready again... I sucked last year. I need to redeem myself.

VTGreg · 07-28-2008, 09:00 AM

I'm ready to defend the crown. Let me know if you are setting one up. If not I can set one up.

I'd love to be in again this year, I placed 3rd last year. School and work is going to be tough as it is.

But, maybe I can just enjoy as Dallas takes the NFC.

It's tough to be disappointed all the time

Yea, tell me about it, but you gotta have faith. I'm not a fair-weather fan and we have much potential. We will prevail.

guiseppewv · 07-30-2008, 07:59 PM

I'll set one up in the next few days and put the info here.

Ok, it is all setup. I set the draft for 16 August at 5 pm PDT. I am willing to change this if people need/want to have it changed. I have the league limited to 10 people and I used the default point structure with a few bonus tweaks (e.g. RB gets bonus points for breaking 100 yds, etc...). I am leaving everything up to consensus, so if you want something changed then you have to speak up.

Time will tell.

I hear Tampa is nice during the winter months.

Sorry, they sent that information in an e-mail to my hotmail account instead of my ymail, which I used to sign up with.

It ended up in the spam box and I just stumbled across it.

The only change I would suggest is making the 1st bonus for rushing at 120 yards instead of 100. Either that or lowering the 1st bonus for receiving since it is more difficult to have a 100 yard day receiving than rushing.

guiseppewv · 07-31-2008, 09:17 PM

Good point, I'll make it so, unless someone objects.

nate el bueno · 08-01-2008, 11:26 AM

I'm the guy you all hate who thinks it's funny to trade all your players if you leave it open

VTGreg · 08-01-2008, 02:04 PM

One other thing. If you can push the draft back another week or two, that's always a good thing. It's always a bummer to lose one of your stars to an injury in the preseason if you have the draft too early.

No problem on that one. Each trade can be rejected by the commish. Mwuhahahaha!

Two weeks would put it in the middle of Labor day weekend; I decided against that before selecting the current draft date. The weekend of the 22nd I will be climbing Mt Fuji, so for selfish reasons, I would prefer it not to be that weekend. If a majority of people prefer it to be that weekend I'll change the draft date to that weekend. I will get one of my friends to draft for me if need be. We could also have it during the week. I wasn't sure if that was an option with all of our temporal differences (e.g. different time zones, working hours, etc...). Let me know what everyone prefers. I am flexible, open for suggestions, and willing to make anything work.

ShawnLee · 08-01-2008, 09:11 PM

I'm up for it... maybe.... Haha. I'm not sure that I want to dedicate that much time to it, again.
