I might join.  I stayed away for a couple of years, but I wouldn't mind another distraction.

 

Are you pre-ranking and having the computer draft the teams or are you having a live draft?

I've joined! 

 

I did fantasy baseball a few years back.  Hopefully this isn't substantially different from that.

It's a live draft, however if you cannot make it, the computer will automatically draft for you based upon pre-rankings and need.

I'll join up...probably get to it later tonight sometime.

There's also a message board on the fantasy page, however I figure this may be easier to communicate through.

Ok, I'm in.

Don't know what I'm doing, but I'm in.

I figured, well, I am out of school now, so I should have plenty of time for this, right?

Queen City Bombers ready to roll!

how full is it so far?

 

I'm horrible at FF, so I don't want to "waste" space.

As am I - since I never played it before.

If we run out of space, I will happily "sell" my team to the highest bidder.

You'd want out even with such an amazing URL?!

 

There are currently 5 teams signed up.. the league is set to 12 teams, but I can set it to a max of 20 teams if the demand is there.

negative points, here i come!

The difference is that this is MUCH easier to keep up with.  Much fewer games...one per week.  It requires much less time and energy.

Exactly, it only requires 2 minutes a week if you're really not into it, just to update your roster for the week.

Just look out for Thursday games.  Those have messed me up before.

Musky, you and I can strategize over a brew, since we're both rookies.

Sounds like a plan.

If there is room, I would like to join...

Plenty of room, sign on up.

Still only 7 teams.. I'd like to see at least 10 total teams.. tell some friends, join the fun! haha

With me in there, I would say it is 6 1/2... if that.

tried logging in

"This ID is not yet taken."

Did you create a Yahoo ID first?  The ID and password are the league information that you use when joining the custom private league.

oh

duh

I specifically logged out of Yahoo & tried logging in with your info.

This is too high tech - my brain hurts

I'm in!  :mrgreen:

OK...we have 8.

I just saw this thread!  Cincinnatiuprise in the house.......and if i don't win every game, your all banned!

That makes 9.  I'd like to see the league at 10 or 12 teams, that way there are no bye weeks.

If we could get one more team in the league I'd be happy and feel like we'd be set.

 

Don't forget, the live draft is:

 

THIS SUNDAY

 

August 26th @ 2:00 p.m.

For us newbies, what do we need to do.

Or is there a FAQ on Yahoo?

There should be, but all you have to do is go to the league page and there will be a link like 15-30 minutes before hand saying "Enter Live Draft" or something of that nature.  And go from there, it's like a chat room style thing with all the players listed, etc.

UrbanOhio + Fantasy Football = ZERO productivity  :laugh:

 

Report: Fantasy football costs businesses $435M

August 23, 2007 | DAYTON BUSINESS JOURNAL

 

U.S. companies could lose as much as $435 million a week during the upcoming National Football League season because of lost productivity from employees playing fantasy football.

 

That's according to a new report from Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc., the Chicago-based employment research firm that tracks corporate office trends. The firm came up with that number based on employees spending an average of 45 minutes per day total taking part in fantasy football leagues and 10 minutes of on-the-clock time.

DRAFT:

 

SUNDAY

 

4:30 PM EST

It's a live draft, however if you cannot make it, the computer will automatically draft for you based upon pre-rankings and need.

 

KS, this is still the case?  I'm not sure I'll be around to join the draft.

Yes, the computer will automatically draft for you based upon best player available/filling of roster needs.  So if you cannot make the 4:30 draft you will be fine.  However, I highly suggest you attend, that way no one will be unhappy with their roster since they will have picked it.

You changed the time of the draft, KS?

Sorry guys, I had to push the draft back until 4:30 (2 1/2 hours).

 

My reason behind this was because there was a one line sentence in the commish notes that states scoring/the league cannot start until you have an even number of teams in head-to-head setup.

 

So if anyone has a friend/knows anyone on UO or not, please get them to sign up, they don't have to be there for the draft.  We need someone by 4:30.

 

Again, sorry for this guys, but it had to be done.

Great turn out for the draft guys, sorry for the late change in time but it was absolutely necessary for the league to be possible.

 

Good luck to all!

How do all of you who had the automated draft think the computer did in picking your players? 

 

We had about 4 of the 10 team "owners" out for the draft, but we made it an excellent time.

Favre as QB - I'm not complaining.

I completely forgot about the draft, but it looks like my team turned out alright.  Time to dominate.

I purposely missed the draft. As previously mentioned, I'm bad at fantasy football, I'm even worse at live drafts. Knowing my luck I would have ended up with Scott Mitchell, Craig Krenzel and Ryan Leaf as my QBs...

Nah, don't worry Pope, I would have made sure you ended up with a fantasy stud like Michael "Ookie" Vick at QB.

Sorry I couldn't make the draft on Sunday.  My team's okay, but there might be some changes made after the first game.

 

I think I somehow managed to get four 1,000 yard rushers.

  • 2 weeks later...

Time to rock and roll, guys!

I'm off to a rousing start with Reggie Bush's 30+ yards and zero TDs!

^ The team with Peyton Manning (Drunken Yeti) started off pretty strong. 

 

I think this is going to be pretty interesting.  Props to KS for starting the league and for all of you guys for joining!

I'm off to a rousing start with Reggie Bush's 30+ yards and zero TDs!

 

In one of my other teams I had colston and bush starting (please reference all previous posts about how I blow at FF)

^ LOL.  It's early, though.

 

I guess I forgot to mention that I also have Marvin Harrison, who had 80-something yards and a TD.  So that softens the blow a little bit.
