That's how it was last year, I think. Doesn't leave a lot of options for free agents, even though we're only a ten-team league.

ahhhhh.... there's nothing quite like watching your favorite team embarrass themselves for the first half of the game and dig a hole they can't get out of.
Or, getting your ass smoked in both of your fantasy leagues.
Or, having your QB rack up some negative points and then sit out the second half with a concussion.

After all the whining and bitching that went on last year about points, roster spots, blah blah blah... It was finally where everyone was happy (last year), so I kept the exact settings for this year.
We still need to address the playoffs. 8 teams in the playoffs in a 10 team league seems silly to me, but majority rules.
Sorry! I didn't mean to come off as bitching and whining. My apologies (I wasn't in this league last year.)
I agree that 8 teams is too many. 4 teams with a 2 week playoff is find with me. Or 6 teams with a 3-week playoff and the top two getting a bye (like bird suggested) is fine with me.
I'm cool with either of those decisions.
Epic.

Oh, I know you weren't in it last year..
I changed the playoffs to 6 teams in weeks 14, 15 and 16. We've usually avoided week 17 playoffs in the past due to teams sitting star players. The league is trying to curb that this year by having all week 17 games be division games, but I still think it's probably the best way to do it.
who is the manager for Drinkin Dawgz?
You're about to go into the second week and you still don't have a full team on the field.

True - DD, you need a D player.
Yup... and last week you had Michael Bush in your lineup, and I believe he was out for the game.
Didn't really matter... you still kicked my butt last week, even though you were short a couple of people

It's ON!
It's ON!
The REAL games don't start until 4:15 today.
Who are the Bungles losing to this week? Baltimore?

Think I can get to your place by 4pm? Please say yes, because I was tricked into going to a 4 year old's birthday party that starts at, you guessed it, 4pm.
careful what you say, bird. I still need to bottle up three beers that you and/or your wife will consume. think of all the possibilities for what I could put in those bottles along with the beer....
I'm writing my review now...
"Aroma seems to indicate that he sanitized the bottles by inserting them into his anus, which knowing Walker is probably a good bet."
New topic; anyone else watching "The League" on FX? That show's awesome; five guys in a fantasy league. Just funny as hell. Couple episodes are on Hulu.

I say they've got until Tuesday, and then we do a dispersal draft!
Drinkin Dawgs is eriklupust.
And to schweaty: I am laying a major smackdown on you... feels gooooooood,

I agree with Jay, no excuse for not being paid up

I just saw Erik on Saturday- we didn't talk football, though.
I miss playing with you guys this year- hope you're having fun without me.
Here's my proposal.
Erik's got until tomorrow to pay up; otherwise, we all force Yooper to take over his team. Hell, I wouldn't even care if YOU paid up (I sure as hell wouldn't pay $25 for that team!)

Good luck with that. I've never figured out how to force a woman to do ANYTHING.
I was getting nervous at the end of last night's game with my barely over 6 point lead, Chicago near the goal and Forte on riverfront's roster.
But, I reviewed the scoring set-up for our leage and realized that even if he drove it into the endzone, I was still going to win by about 0.15 points.
A little too close....

You guys have two that haven't paid. What do you want to do?
Tar and feather.
I saw we all start PMing them. this is bullsh!t, to be frank.
i sent PMs to eriktlupus and schweaty telling them to pay up.
I suggest y'all do the same.

By my count, you have just TWO that haven't paid up.
By the way, I'm not playing this year, so I can't "see" what's going on. Aside from some blabbering from Walker and Bird, I don't have any idea what's going on. Can someone give us an idea of who's in first?

That would be me
Of course, I've been lucky; my opponents have scored the second-fewest points all season, and I've only scored the fourth-most. Pretty happy with my whole team though, other than DeAngelo Freakin' Williams (when did that dude turn into a bust?)

I say pay by week 6, or I lock their team.
I'm bringing up the rear.
You know what's sad, is I'm in 5 leagues this year and 3 of them are money leagues and 2 are just for fun. In all of the paid leagues I'm in last or second to last place and in the fun leagues I'm dominating and in first or second.

Is there a booby prize for "worst trade decision of the week"?
Like, you know... giving up Brandon Marshall in order to get Michael Vick?

Boston deserves a prize for last week, too. Dropped Shown Greene before the Buffalo game, and HAD the Giants D, but kept it on the bench against Cutler and the Bears.
Sure looked like Cutler got his concussion in pregame, didn't it?

Can't believe I had to start Cutler this week. -12 points. NEGATIVE! What a worthless piece of crap he is.
Oh, I've had negative points from a QB before. Pretty sure one year sacks cost us two points each, I know I've had a double-digit loss from the QB position before.
Losing Moss to the Vikings SUCKS.
But.
Now, Aaron Hernandez = Marques Colston from *his* rookie year - a guy that's basically playing as a #1 or #2 wide receiver but still gets credited by Yahoo! as a tight end.
