    Most Bizarre League Scoring

    Do not think that is all that unusual. Both of my leagues have 3 points for FG 0f less than 40 yds plus a 1 point bonus for 40-49 yards and 2 points for 50-59. Also 10 point bonus for 60 plus yards!!

    Dynasty contract question

    I pieced together rules for a dynasty league with contracts. All players are auto signed to three yr contracts with 10% increase in salaries per year. I have that you can option contracts. This is what I have written. • Franchises have until before the auction starts to exercise the option yr(s). If a player receives a 1 year extension, they are rewarded with a $10 raise or 20% raise (rounded up to the nearest $1), whichever is higher. If a player receives a 2 year extension, they are rewarded with a $20 raise or 40% raise (rounded up to the nearest $1), whichever is higher. (must sign player to extension before start of third contract season. Now I am little confused. If I have LT signed for 20. Do the salaries look like this? 1st yr 20 2nd yr 22 3rd yr 25 4th yr 35 if one year extension or 45 if 2 yr extension 5th yr 45 Or does he get a raise in yr 3 also.

    Question about auctions

    Thinking about changing from a draft to auction. League based in Philly, two guys in Dallas, and one in DC. Not everyone can be together on draft day so someone usually drafts his own team and the person who could not be here(off a list). My question is how do you deal with a situation like that in an auction?

  12. Every team is supposed to play two games international in the next 10 years or so. No sure if this included SF vs AZ a few years ago. Every team will be a home team and away team. So NYG will have a home game somewhere in the World (Canada, Mexico, JApan, London, Germany, etc) just like the Dolphins will be the away team internationally.

    Worst/Dumbest fans ever?

    Artivle from Philly daily news Stan Hochman. http://www.philly.com/mld/dailynews/sports/16182851.htm Stan Hochman | Eagles fans have done a lot worse than throwing snowballs at SantaYOUR THOUGHTS McCoy gives the OK to Gaither replacing him as a starter Arrington says NFLPA is like organized crime Stan Hochman | Eagles fans have done a lot worse than throwing snowballs at Santa Paul Domowitch | SECONDARY PRIMARY Rich Hofmann | There's rowdiness at the Linc, but not like it was at the Vet 'Skins' Campbell a young leader FORGET ABOUT snowballs and Santa Claus. That story is older than dirt, and just as dull. It's been twisted by time, transformed into some kind of yardstick for just how mean-spirited Philadelphia fans can be, outsiders conveniently ignoring the back story of a wretched franchise that seemed to pour more money into its halftime shows than its scouting. ESPN, groping for a story line on Monday night, lugged Santa out of the closet. They knew in their tiny hearts that the Eagles had lost five out of six and that the fans would be bitterly cold and severely short-tempered. A couple of dropped passes and the booing would start and Tony Kornheiser would cackle, "See, there they go again." (This disclaimer: I consider myself a friend of Kornheiser, but the winter gloves and the deer-in-the-headlights look added up to the worst performance in a Monday night booth since Howard Cosell puked all over Dandy Don Meredith's boots at Franklin Field.) Yo, why didn't ESPN give us bits from that night? Or, another gem from the "Monday Night" archives, Nov. 3, 1975, the time Eagles fans brought a huge inflatable dog bone and bounced it around the stands like a beach ball. Tossed dog biscuits at the players. Shouted "Al-po, Al-po" until the game got so lopsided it would have been sadistic to continue. Yo, that was clever and vindictive and passionate. A lot slicker than pelting a raggedy, substitute, halftime Santa Claus with snowballs because the team stank and they were sick of halftime pageantry and the owner and the general manager weren't available as targets. Mike McCormack coached the 1975 Eagles. The season started with wretched losses to two dreadful teams, the Giants and the Bears. At a Monday-morning news conference (long before Andy Reid transformed Monday sessions into S & M for the media, minus the whips and chains), Tom Brookshier speared McCormack with a question, "How many dogs do you have on the roster?" McCormack plopped right into the trap. "You mean real mutts?" he snapped. "I'd say two." Which was all the inspiration the angry fans needed to print "Beagles" on the inflatable dog bone and hurl biscuits at the players and chant "Al-po, Al-po" through most of a 42-3 loss to the Rams. Leonard Tose fired McCormack 30 seconds after the 4-10 season ended. ESPN could have done an interesting pregame piece on how the language of the game has changed. Sound bites were available. Jeremiah Trotter, after the Eagles whimpered to 5-5, grumbled about defensive guys finding out how much dog they had in them. Then Brian Dawkins rasped about needing more dog in the defense after a fluffier-than-Charmin charade against Indianapolis. In 30 years, hot has become cool, good has been transformed into baaaad, music has been butchered into sneering rhymes that mock authority, demean women and trash other rappers. The reference to dogs had shifted from timid, whimpering, tail-between-the-legs whiners to loyal, fierce, growling pit bulls. Dog tired, work like a dog, treat 'em like dogs, let sleeping dogs lie, dog-ear a textbook, every dog has his day, the sun don't shine on the same hound dog all the time; your interpretation of dog often depends on which side of the golden retriever you wake up on. Soft is soft, the one four-letter word prohibited in the locker room. Buddy Ryan used to drawl that he wanted his players to be "tough and smart." Until they earned his respect, he referred to them by number and not name. Reid coughed and sneered his way through the Monday autopsies of three consecutive losses, promising to get the shoddy tackling problems "fixed" (an ominous, if accidental term). It fell to defensive coordinator Jim Johnson to call a chihuahua a chihuahua. "This game," Johnson said glumly after the Indianapolis shellacking, "and I've never said it before, was the first time I really felt we were knocked off the ball... I felt, for whatever reason, we were not a physical football team." Not too short, not too lean, not too weary from being out there all night, just short on determination, not dogged enough, if you must. And just before a desperate call to the ASPCA for help in calling off future bow-wow imagery, here came Dawkins, describing his teammates as "these cats." I wouldn't touch that one with a 10-foot scratching pole. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Send email to stanrhoch@verizon.net.

    tie breaker

    Am I right with this. Three teams tied . PP, KDTT and IDK. PP has a 1-2 record against the 2 other teams remaining. KDTT have a 2-1 record b/c both PP and KDTT are in same division. and IDK has a 1-1 record. KDTT wins the tie break b/c of the 2-1 record right?

    Explain exactly what a Dynasty League is...

    Does anyone have a site with rules on it. I would like to change my psuedo dynasty league into a full one. I had rules from last year that had salary caps and cap hits for cutting players (among other things) with years still left on thier contracts but my labtop crashed and lost everything.

    if a team is 4 -6 and another team is 3 - 5- 2

    How do you guys have teams that have multiple ties in a season? I have played FF for some 11 combined seasons over two leagues and have only had 3 ties alltogether in the league.
  24. Daily News Live on CSN Philly just reported the change.
