2009 Fantasy Football Veterans League

[Boston]

Almost time to start thinking about FF....would the Veteran League members please raise their hands?

 

[eriktlupus]

woohoo!!!!!!







does this count as raising my hand????

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Aye

4567890

 

[Bernie Brewer]

If I had my hands raised, I wouldn't be able to type a response. Unless I was holding my laptop up also, but even then it would be difficult........

But I digress. I'm in.

 

[olllllo]

Good to see you around Boston.
Yep.

 

[Yooper]

yep, me too.

I'll suck even worse than I sucked last year, probably.

 

[schweaty]

I'm not veteran, but I'd like to get involved if you do a live draft. I absolutely hate auto-pick drafts.

 

[marubozo]

No veteran here, but I live for FF. If there's an opening I would gladly play

 

[Breweski15]

I'd like to join also if there's an opening!

 

[schweaty]

Maybe if we can't get in the veteran league we can start a reject league

 

[Yooper]

We've had two leagues in the past- the old timers and the noobs league. We can't call it a "reject" league- that's mean!

Once we get the "roster" of the original group, I'm sure it'll be open to a few new players. That's why Boston posted, I'm sure- to see which of the last players from the last several years are still wanting to play.

I don't remember who all played last year, but maybe a PM would be in order. I haven't seen the_bird around much, but he should definitely play! There are others, too, but my memory sucks too bad to remember who else I lost to.

 

[adx]

I'd be up for a rejects...err noobs league. I agree that a live draft is the best.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

the_bird and Walker for sure. I'd have to go check to see who else played last year.

 

[the_bird]

I'm here, and unfortunately for you all, I'm in.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

I'm here, and unfortunately for you all, I'm in.

And modest, too!

 

[Boston]

Anybody remember who STIFFED us last season? He shouldn't be invited back.

 

[Yooper]

He eventually paid up, with apologies. I don't think he's even "around" anymore. His ID started with a W.

 

[Yooper]

If we can't remember the players, I can go back into my Paypal account and try to recreate who paid.

 

[the_bird]

Remember that I sent you a check... which you ended up tearing up, since I finished third and just got back my entry fee.

Was $20 a head a good buy-in for the league? I know there were a couple of rule changes I wanted to propose about scoring, etc. but it's been so long that I can't remember what they were.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Gezz, you're bitching to the Commish about the points system already?!?!

 

[ohiobrewtus]

I'll get the '09 league setup today. I got into last year's league and here's who participated last year:

Yooperbrew
ohiobrewtus
Bernie Brewer
the_bird
Warped04
todd_k
DesertBrew
Bearcat Brewmeister
olllllo
boston
Walker-san
eriktlupus

 

[Yooper]

Oh, yes, I remember now!

 

[ohiobrewtus]

So do we not want to invite the late payer back? I'm going to send invites out to everyone who played last year once I hear back from a couple of people.

 

[Yooper]

I wouldn't. Like I said, he eventually paid up, but he didn't participate during the season either- he never even showed up to manage his team.

 

[marubozo]

If that creates an opening I'll pay extra to get in

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Invites have been sent out (I think). We do have an open spot now. By default I'd go with schweaty since he was the first to reply with interest, but there's always the option of taking it to more teams as well.

I copied all settings from last year's league.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Awesome! You can pay my entry fee. Thanks!

Would a few pounds of fresh hops change your mind on who gets the open spot?

 

[olllllo]

I'll start the Madoff Ponzi League for all you bribe givers.

"Both Teams Played Hard" has now registered.
