Wouldn't hold my breath, they found out the tire treads, we are looking for a full size pickup (dur) with Goodyear wrangler A/t tires, that's roughly 95% of the people in my state.

And the prints didn't turn anything up, the crews all checked out, and the 4 wheeler likely won't be registered as only about half the population bothers with that.

Unless... just an idea, everyone was also in for a bottle of homebrew, winner gets all the commercial beers 2nd gets all homebrew.

That still means everyone would be in for shipping 2 packages.

Maybe agree on the #'s to go to each (16 for #1, 2 for #2, whatever), then do a random drawing at the end of the season to determine who sends where?

Hopefully everyone is sending good beer out, but it's tough to put a value on it ahead of time or to say that the #2 should get the 'lesser' beer.

How about bottom 5 are punished by having to send 2 bottles? The second being homebrew.

For the record my homebrew is way better than the swill that nizzle drinks on the regular. Friggen homer

This year's winner decides next year's payout format?

I think getting 19 beers will be enough reward and league vote should determine future format changes.

Hm, I thought I was on to something there for a second and you might just agree with me...

I think if we do a 20 person league next year, reduce the bench size to 2 or 3 players. That way everyone will have to pick up players on a consistent basis. I went looking for a defense Tuesday since mine was on a bye week, there were none available, I think the giants became available after the waiver. If you need a QB right now, you won't get a starter.

Deeper bench encourages trading.

You need a QB? I'm your man!

Same for RBs I was scrambling to pick one up 5 minutes before kick off because mine went IR at the last minute. I ended up keeping him in and they played him for a few plays 1.9 pts!, but there were none that were going to play more than a few carries on waivers.

Problem with that is I barely have anyone on my team that anyone is going to find interesting, I'd be trading my best players for someone backup whatever, just to make it a fair trade

I think I've done well with what I have to work with thank you very much.

Oh, and bite me.

 

[Hello]

I actually like the 20 team format. We just need to get some other good HBTers to fill empty slots and fix rules.

Hate 20 teams but what do you mean about empty slots? Did people drop out?

 

[Channel66]

That's how you got a team.

It's disturbed chemist still playing? Or at least setting a lineup? He had a few inactive players in when I played him but I've had weeks where that's happened too because I set my lineup too early

 

[BGBC]

I'm just feeling good because my team performed well this week, but I'm sure I'll be back to bottom-dwelling by next week.

Weeks 8 and 9 are gonna be rough for everyone with 6 teams on byes each week.

He's still sending beer, he just gave up. Everyone else has started paying attention, or at least setting lineups. For a while there, we had a few who weren't.

 

[TNGabe]

Thank you Eli 'Pick 6' Manning. It may as well be a crushing defeat.

 

[Fuzzymittenbrewing]

Lools like the guy im playings last hope was placed inactive before the game. Sweet I needed the win after that bs last week

 

[Andrikos]

Lots of good points raised here.

20 team league AND the waiver wire system as it is don't well that well together.
Also, I like the "light bench" idea so there is a more decent selection on the waiver wire.

Also, it's been mentioned many times on this gigantic thread but the RB depth is beyond pathetic (not to mention all the injuries).

To alleviate that, we can limit the RB number for each team to 4. (4 RBs max per team)
This should leave a decent number of sub-scrub RBs on the waiver wire for people to pick up.

As far as picking up waiver wire replacements, look at your matchups and see if you can make do without one.
I did it when my (pathetic) TE was on a bye (no replacement) and I still won.

That win was against me and ut was beyond a fluke

 

[Andrikos]

What do you mean "fluke".
The margin was 44.2 points!

 

[Fuzzymittenbrewing]

The day all my best players scored less than half of their usual scores

 

[Andrikos]

Peyton Hillis.
What a stud!

You do have the highest score ever in the league, but I'd say that was a fluke...

MY fantasy team just pulled a new york jets Last night i had Adrian Peterson left on my team and falls city fumblers has rueben randle left. I was losing when I last checked, AP had 5 pts, RR had 10 and I was behind by a few points so I figured I lost. This morning I see that I won but AP still only had 5 points. Players do not get points for return yards or touchdowns, but apparently they can lose them on returns. RR fumbled on a punt return and lost the fumblers the game. I guess the team name fits Im glad I won (FINALLY!) but that is another rule we need to fix

 

[Ridire]

Who's that kickass football genius (who auto-drafted) atop the heap this morning?

 

[WesleyS]

Yay, Eli didn't screw me over last night!

He had several close calls though. He easily could have thrown 3-4 INTs

I still hope he strokes out
