the "Jerry Porter was a DUMB Pick" League

[SoloMatisse 0]

Clash & I have never had a problem on this forearm. I assume he knows I'm pulling his leg, so don't fret over a little trash talk. You guys are doin it a-plenty, and what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

 

And a little FYI, I'm probably as old if not older than most of you.

 

No worries man. Anything from me should be chalked up as "friendly banter".

Sorry man - thought sooner fans could handle a little prod there. My bad.

Harrison at 2.12 eh?

 

Good luck with that.

Here's my one stupid question for the month. (I get 1 per month).

 

Are we drafting starting lineup first, or can we stack a position, say like drafting 3 RBs in 3 rounds?

wow - either you're playing the part of a rube to a T in order to lull us all into a false sense of security, or you've never played FFB before.

 

 

You can draft whatever you like. If you prefer to take your starters all 1st, go for it. Meanwhile I'll draft 5 straight RBs and your RB3 will be Tony Richardson.

I'm 72 years young and if anything, I am gaining more respect because of it. Politicians pander to me and neighborhood kids are scared to run on my lawn. Those whippersnappers don’t dare touch my manicured lawn or I will call the cops or maybe just run out and chase them with a broom. No respect? Don't bet on it. Ah, yes, these times are pretty sweet....I think Lawrence Welk is on the tube tonight...I have no idea how that man still has so much energy..

You can start the kicker run by taking Janikowski in the first.

Now that's leon Lett stupid - You must draft in this order

Rb - Wr -QB - TE - K - DEf/ST - #2Rb -#2 WR - 2nd QB - 2nd TE - 2nd kicker - 2nd DEf/sp - 3rd rb and so on! No you can't draft three running backs in a row. That's unheard of!

Are you ready for some football??

 

I am assuming that our draft is still on for today. I will miss the start of the draft, but I pick #12 so I guess worse case scenerio I'll be making my first pick next friday.

 

Let's get the ball rolling, just tell me where to go. Mocking station seems fine to me.

Fractional/Decimal scoring is in place as was suggested, so it will be tallied by singles yards. But Im not absolutely 100% positive on all the specifics of this so Ill check it out and iron out the kinks. But we'll run with it to avoid ties. Any of you vets with Yahoo experience playing in leagues using the fractional method, feel free to chime in.

 

FGs are set up simply to award 3pts for anything shorter than 40, 4 pts anything between 40-49, and 5 pts for 50+yarders.

 

Our D/ST scoring system is simple and straight forward, and designed not to overvalue the D......because for God's sake, noone will even draft their D until ATLEAST the 12th round, and there's no way we should overscore for that facet of FF. Even though we're all impacted equally, Im not interested in losing because someone's waiver wire D goes off for 40 pts because theyre playing Houston.....its just a single point across the board for sacks, ints and fumble recoveries. Safeties are scored at face value.....2 pts. Defensive and special teams return TDs are all worth 6, no matter how long. Id favor 2 pts awarded for special teams returns gained at over 50yds, though its not set up and Im not sure if its possible, but Ill look into that now. A 50yd return is exceptional and rare and deserves 2 pts.....as opposed to a sack, of which most teams will have atleast 30-40. A team will be lucky to have 5 returns longer than 50yds all year.

 

The waivers process is yet to be completely ironed out, but dont sweat that. It will basically be set up so that free agents will be frozen from game time Sunday (or Thur or Sat for players involved in those games) until Tuesday at a time yet to be determined. How we set this up specifically regarding time or other criteria will NOT affect how we draft our teams, so dont worry about it. We'll iron it out.

Eli Manning will be on my team by no later than the 6th round.....mark it down.

Alright, as far as our DRAFT goes.......Ive been waiting to hear from one of our guys here on this neutral site where we can hold our draft with absolutely no outside influences, but it hasnt happened yet, so Im making the call. We will hold our draft here at the Mocking Station beginning this Sunday the 11th at Noon EST. I realize we will of course NOT be mocking, but our league is free so close enough. If none of you have noticed, that forum is moving with minimal views, so it will be low key and I promise with minimal outside influences. Any unwanted and inappropriate commentary will feel the full wrath our our league membership .....led by yours truly. But Im truly not very concerned with that. There will be a 12 hour limit on picks, and of course I would encourage faster selections if possible, but we will ABSOLUTELY make exceptions to this rule if need be. Things happen, and they may happen to any one of us, so trust that if something out of your control affecting this draft comes up, we'll understand and extend the alloted time.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

 

Im not wanting to come across as 'Napoleonic', because Im nowhere near as small as that guy was for one, but Im just gonna make come decisions to keep us moving for the sake of expedition.....when regarding things that I feel are fair and impact us all equally.

 

 

So where and when are we drafting? Seriously....

 

 

As a reminder.....Im shooting for this Saturday the 10th at 10AM Eastern with a 12 hour time limit....discuss. Emails have all been sent out. A couple of you guys dont have emails connected to your teams, so your missing out on all my dazzling league memos. Tighten up! Chew.......swallow......digest.

 

 

Good work, FS. Im waiting to here from Clash on some draft site info.

 

Hey guys, Saturday isnt looking good. We have 3 who have prior committments or illness, and we should just get going Sunday afternoon instead. I know some of you are extremely anxious to draft Larry Johnson and Tomlinson, but be patient.....so will SUNDAY around noon Eastern work for everyone?? If not, we can just kick if off at either the beginning of the week or next weekend. Look, if we push it back a little, it will only give everyone a little more time to prepare......cause some of you slackers are gonna need it!

 

 

 

 

Here's been the dialogue. Just a little communication.....not asking for much.....lets figure something out, because executive decisions are close to being made....

 

Weve gotten a whole SIX picks done today in over 6 hours.....
