PPR Fantasy Football

[TallDan]

If I recall correctly, 2nd place still needs to ship beer and nothing gets shipped to 2nd place.

Well, i'd propose that as a rule change for the future, 2nd place should buy himself a beer or something.

Looks like we have:

(me)
@Chorgey
@lupulinaddict
@_BullDog_
@3 Dawg Night
@TBC
@troglodytes

Who am I missing? Those all correct?

I think @sonic7173 might have been the one missing on my list. Just send PMs with my address. If i got any wrong names, let me know!

As far as styles go, I drink most everything. Probably drink more commercial IPAs, sours and stouts than anything else, but part of that is because that's what all the breweries make.

 

[_BullDog_]

Congrats Talldan. I’ll send shortly, hopefully not to long of a wait, and let you know when it is on the way.

 

[_BullDog_]

Got the PM, any preferred styles?

 

[TallDan]

I'd prefer a great (style x) over an OK (style y) for almost any x and y. Fresh IPAs, tasty sours, and good BA beers are always welcome, but if you have a local craft pilsner or something that's your favorite or just really great, I'd love to try that too! I do have a lot of BA stouts on hand right now, but, 'tis the season.

If I were to go over to my local bottle shop tonight, I'd probably pick up some fresh NEIPA, just because I don't have any commercial IPA in the beer fridge.

 

[TallDan]

To put bookends on FF this year, on our draft day i had a pork shoulder on the smoker. Smoked another one today in the snow!

And if you all recall, I didn't ship beer until about draft time, so I'm not going to have any room to complain if anyone takes their time to ship beer to me!

 

[_BullDog_]

Pork shoulder sounds great... I’m due to smoke some since I haven’t in awhile.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Ugh. I’ve been on the fence. Usually enjoy FF, but am worried it’s going to turn into a poopyshow. I also clearly don’t like shipping beer because I put it off for 8 months and just shipped last week.

Scrolling back through the thread, and realizing that we all almost dodged a bullet. Almost.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Draft starts in just a few minutes. I've not done any homework for this, I'd probably be better off with autopicks.

...but I've got a beer, and the pork shoulder just came off the smoker, so as soon as the draft is done, i'll be ready to eat!

Wow.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Well, i'd propose that as a rule change for the future, 2nd place should buy himself a beer or something.

Maybe for future seasons, #3 ships beer to #2, and everyone else ships to #1.

Of course, the change would be transparent to the last-place team, who was...oh, right.

 

[troglodytes]

I can't believe I didn't go first to worst to be honest. Josh Allen saved me on more than on occasion.

Congrats @TallDan, I'll have something out soon.

 

[Chorgey]

@TallDan, I shipped out the beer today!

Bar Flies

 

[TallDan]

1st place in the regular season, 1st to send me tracking info, 1st beer to arrive: Thanks @Chorgey (bar flies) !

Let me know how you like the beer. Congrats!!!
The ABV on some of those beers are up there

 

[TallDan]

Two days in a row. Package received from @3 Dawg Night (Imperial Mild) today. I’ve had some Motley Crüe stuck in my head since earlier today when I opened the package.

 

[TallDan]

Tracking initially said this one would arrive yesterday, but it got here today to make 3 days in a row. Thanks @TBC (Big Gulps)! It’s been a while since I’ve had any Tröegs, I remember liking what I had.

That's a solid haul!

 

[TallDan]

Wow. @troglodytes sent me a WALL of beer! Good timing too, there was plenty of room in the beer fridge.

 

[TBC]

The preseason kicks off Thursday night. Are we ready for some fantasy football!!

 

[Chorgey]

I'd like to see the league get additional teams. Somewhere around 12 would be awesome.

We need to start pumping it up!

 

[TallDan]

Well, I’m in. I guess I could opt out as defending champ, but why would I?

Some more teams would be good though. Wasn’t there another HBT FF league? If there still is, we should have a league merger.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

I'm out. Too much going on this fall. Have fun!

 

[TallDan]

I'm out. Too much going on this fall. Have fun!

We won’t let you leave unless you find two replacements!

 

[3 Dawg Night]

I can't afford to be sending @TallDan beer all the time!

 

[lupulinaddict]

It looks like we probably will merge the two leagues. Shooting for around 12 teams.

What works for draft day for this group? The 29th or the 5th?

 

[_BullDog_]

If not too late I’ll be in again this year.

hope to get my beer sent soon.

 

[Chorgey]

I'm okay with the merge.
The 5th works for me. I won't be around on the 29th

 

[TallDan]

Package landed today from @lupulinaddict

I initially thought the “Like is like a bock of chocolates” was dented in shipping, but looking again, I don’t see any dents. They’re all cooling off in the beer fridge, but that one might be the first to be opened (over the sink).
Excited for some new stuff to try! Thanks!

 

[lupulinaddict]

@TallDan, maybe open that one outside! My other shipment came back because that beer blew in the box!

 

[lupulinaddict]

We are going to bring the other other other league into this one.

We have opening one left!!!

I set the Draft for September 5th, check your local listing for exact time. Should be the late game time. This is what I have so far.

[gromitdj]

Thanks @lupulinaddict , I've signed up with the same boring team name (my HBT username). I'll try to change it to something witty at some point before the season starts.

 

[TBC]

I’m pumped to take beer from all of you!

 

[TallDan]

So, do we have two defending champions then? Who is my nemesis?

 

[gromitdj]

I am the defending champ* coming over from the Other Other Other League.

*I benefited greatly from a 6 team league.

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

Count me in for the final team...

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

First time I've done fantasy through NFL.com rather then ESPN. Any quirks that I should look for in the scoring or league settings?

Are the league scoring settings default?

 

[lupulinaddict]

I think the scoring is pretty much default. You should be able to access the settings for the league through the app or website.

Some people have had trouble with the pre-draft order. I’ve never used that feature, but in the past people would input the priority list backwards, and would draft kickers or defenses in the first round. Other than that I can’t remember any issues.

[TallDan]

Last year I had just pulled a pork shoulder off the smoker before the draft and hadn't done any homework. This year I've got brats to put on the grill and also haven't done homework. I do have a beer though, so I'm ready!

 

[_BullDog_]

Did a Brisket last night but just had left overs tonight... and beer of course
