2009 Fantasy Football Veterans League

Yoop, I have no problem waiting to join the "old timers" league. If a spot opens up, I'd love to jump in, but I realize first come, first serve.

Like I said, we'll all "talk" and come up with a solution. We'll try to be fair, of course.

Last year, we invited the winners out of the noobs league.

hahaha, gotta love Freudian slips.

I didn't want to speak on his behalf, but since he hasn't replied I will say that Walker won't be playing this year.

Well, then kick him in the ass, and tell him it's from me!!!!!!

Edit- and then run. Fast. He's bigger than I am.

Oh, yeah, Boston, I forgot! Give him a kiss, too, and tell him it's from me. You can use the tongue, since I would. Thanks!

TMI, Yoop.

 

[Yooper]

TMI, Yoop.

Sorry. But he's really, really, hot. You gotta cut me some slack here. Even if he's got almost as many kids as you do, he's hot.

I am familiar with Yahoo since I run another league there. I have created a league which is a clone of the first league that I manage. There are 8 teams in the league currently. I like the 8 team size because then everyone gets to play each other twice and then we have the playoffs. Check out the scoring. I changed some settings from the defaults. I am open to changing the league size and the scoring. We can discuss if/when we fill the league. We can also decide on membership fee and awards at that time. I have arbitrarily set the draft for Monday night 8/24/2009 at 8PM Eastern and can also change that if a majority of the teams decide on another date. If you want to join the league is currently a private league on Yahoo. The league name is HBTRejects. The league id is 387008 and the password is hbt. I'll also start another topic so that we don't clog up this one with posts for the new league.

Coo coo ca-choo, Mrs. Robinson.
Yoop, you're old enough to be Walker's mommy

ZING!

[Reverend JC]

Just saw this. I suppose I am too late. You guys would hate paying me when I win anyway.

Oh, no, you're not too late. You can throw your hat into the ring, too. I got distracted there for a while, but I'm back now!

I will crush you, FOOL!

 

[Reverend JC]

Does this mean I am senior enough?

Shazaam!

 

[Yooper]

I can handle the money again this year, if you want, commish.

Did we decide how many teams? Who's playing?

I think that we should see who's really interested and finalize the league. I don't want to leave anybody out, but we'll have to.

My preference is that we give the opportunity to the folks who have been around longest first.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

I'd like to see 12 teams, but I'm ok with 10 as well. We have 8 right now. I don't have much of a preference as to who gets in. I don't know who won the n00b league last year but we can bring them in. Schweaty was the first to reply to this thread expressing an interest, and Rev JC has been around here longer than anyone else wanting to get in, so those are to be considered as well.

You can handle the money again.

 

[Yooper]

Also, preference should go to premium/lifetime supporters.

I think the first to reply and the longest "hanging around" member are a good choice! If there is room for a couple more, then we can see who else expressed interest and didn't join the "rejects" league.

 

[eriktlupus]

well the winner from last years rejects league is already in here. hell there was only 4 of us and i played in both leagues.

 

[the_bird]

Heard back from DesertBrew, he's been swamped with all kinds of crap that's kept him mostly away from HBT lately but he wants in.

 

[user 574]

Yep - count me in. Can someone PM me the league ID and password?

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Invitation sent. Reverend JC also received an invite.

I'd like to hit 12 teams, so I guess there needs to be some discussion as to who the remaining 2 players will be. This needs to be done fairly quickly, as the live draft is in 19 days (8/30 at 3:30 pm).

 

[schweaty]

I'm in the rejects league as well but I'd still be interested in this league.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

If I don't hear from other members by about mid next week on this, then I'll just decide who gets invited. SPEAK UP, PEOPLE!

 

[Kelsch]

I'm in the same spot schweaty is in. I'm in the Rejects League already, but if you need another body, I'm still interested.

 

[marubozo]

Pick me, pick me!~ I will crush anyone who dares to challenge my footballing prowess

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Duly noted, thanks guys. It will be some arbitrary method such as who asked first, who's been a member the longest, something like that.

 

[dataz722]

Well I asked before but I am still interested too. I am looking for a 3rd league.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

This league is not free, FWIW. We play in a free league at Yahoo, but everyone puts in $20 and we pay out the top 3 (correct me if I have the nujmber of payouts incorrect, Yooper).

Just wanted to make sure those who want in are aware of this.

 

[dataz722]

I usually won't waste my time with free leagues
