posty 2,296 Posted February 24, 2017 It isn't just you guys... I have been commissioner of a fantasy football league since 1996 that I am probably going to leave this year as well... It isn't because of bad results as I finished second this past season and won it all the previous year... Just not really into it any more... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torn 42 Posted February 25, 2017 It isn't just you guys... I have been commissioner of a fantasy football league since 1996 that I am probably going to leave this year as well... It isn't because of bad results as I finished second this past season and won it all the previous year... Just not really into it any more... No worries, posty. I've cut back over the past few years myself. I only stay in long time leagues like this one. work leagues and the like. I might also dabble in an autodraft for short $ here and there, but that's about it. I've just been in this league forever and can't imagine leaving it. I hope that you'll swing by and comment on our draft (assuming we move forward) and to say hi. We aren't the most chatty group once the season starts, but the few weeks we meet for the draft have been a blast every season... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torn 42 Posted February 27, 2017 Varga plans on dropping out if the league stays free. (See separate thread on that topic.) I have tried to reach Foul Line a few times now, with no luck. If anyone knows him personally, please reach out. At this stage, it looks like we'll need to replace at least two more, possibly 3 if Foul Line remains AWOL.

FouLLine 2 Posted February 28, 2017 Okay boys after thinking about it long and hard I cannot quit the league it's like crack first year is free.... oh wait it's better than crack every year is free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torn 42 Posted February 28, 2017 Okay boys after thinking about it long and hard I cannot quit the league it's like crack first year is free.... oh wait it's better than crack every year is free. Cool - please check in on other threads when you have a minute ... You won 2 years ago (in your first year) and always provide for a fun draft with all of the trade offers. Good to have you back! OK, we now have 10, so we at least have a minimum. Varga will return if a small stake gets approved. Need to scavenge up at least one more to hit the 12 mark, though. Will give it a few more days to see how votes and recruiting shakes out. We'll need to get a move on after that though. Still need to get orphaned teams assigned to new owners, lock in keeper selections and do the draft order selections before we can get things cooking on the draft itself.

WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted March 1, 2017 no one here knows me except Ted... and posty. I'm a bit of a fantasy sports nut. If someone could private message me a little more about the scoring rules, keeper rules, draft rules etc as well as which team I would be owning, I might possibly have interest.

gratefulted 14 Posted March 1, 2017 I'll vouch for WhiteWonder as an active and knowledgeable fantasy nut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torn 42 Posted March 1, 2017 Awesome - great to hear and I'm certainly onboard with welcoming you to the league. I've filled you in on rules, settings, etc. via PM per your request. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torn 42 Posted March 1, 2017 OK, we are getting really close to being able to move things forward. Hopefully, White Wonder is going to join us (please confirm). Always great to get a new member who comes with the endorsement of another manager! My thanks for Gratefulted for the recruiting mission! :-) Assuming WW is onboard, we are down to one open question at this stage. I need Foul Line to weigh in on the fee/prizes question. If he's in, Varga is in as well and we have 12. If he's out, we'll need to recruit 1 more as a Varga replacement. If anyone knows Foul Line personally, please reach out. He's a hard man to get a hold of! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted March 1, 2017 Sure count me in. Can I get a link to last year's league page? I'd like to do some research. 25 is fine with me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torn 42 Posted March 1, 2017 Sure count me in. Can I get a link to last year's league page? I'd like to do some research. 25 is fine with me PM your email over to me and I'll send a league invite to you. Welcome aboard! Oh, and if you follow the Keepers 2017 link, you'll notice there are other tabs on the sheet that show previous year drafts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
posty 2,296 Posted March 1, 2017 So, if I am reading this correctly, no rules have been changed... Still 12 teams, 30 man rosters, H2H, scoring categories remain unchanged... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torn 42 Posted March 1, 2017 So, if I am reading this correctly, no rules have been changed... Still 12 teams, 30 man rosters, H2H, scoring categories remain unchanged... Looks that way - the only major change, pending a Foul Line reply, is whether we add in a prize pool or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted March 1, 2017 Can we vote on Pete rose for hall of fame? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torn 42 Posted March 1, 2017 Can we vote on Pete rose for hall of fame? Tough call, but I say OUT. Can't bet on games when you are still getting a salary from a team for an on the field role (player or manager). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Torn 42 Posted March 1, 2017 Cool - now if I could just get Foul Line to respond on the prize pool question, we'd be ready to get things underway. Where he be?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
