Hey dudes. What's happening. I started one of these a while ago and there wasn't much interest, but now that we're close to the season and considering the OMFG QB MEDIA MADNESS of the past five or so days I figured it would be worth taking another stab (thank you, RayRay) at this fantasy football thing.
Here's the thing tho- I am notoriously bitchy about how fantasy football is set up and scored. I find the default roster setting laaaaaame. Here is the set up I will now propose.
Starting roster:
QB
QB
RB
RB
WR
WR
WR
TE
IDP
IDP
IDP
IDP

Boom. Look at that elegant set up. Let me tell you why it rocks. First of all, you'll notice that we're starting two QBs. Yes. That is so. Why the fuck not, I ask you? Aren't QBs easily the most important players on the field? Why not emphasize that? So two QBs. The second thing you'll notice is that we don't have a starting team defense. That's because it's boring. Who wants to root for a team defense to do well when you can root for individual defensive players instead? I would rather root for Brian Urlacher to murder BritFarr, or Patrick Willis to get me 20 tackles. With the scoring system I'll outline in a second, linebackers tend to be of the most value so to counter that, I suggest we start 2 LBs, 2 DBs and one flex spot. The last thing you'll notice is the absence of the kicker. Fuck the kicker. This is fantasy football, where we celebrate everything that is good about football. The kicker is fucking lame, unless they are a liquored up Euro, and there's really no way to translate the amusement they generate into fantasy points. Believe me, I've tried.
Scoring:
Passing, Rushing, Receiving, Return TD = 6 pts
25 passing yards = 1 pt
10 rushing/receiving yards = 1 pt
reception = .5 pt
INT = -2 pts
Defensive TD = 6 pts
Solo tackle = 1 pt
assist tackle = .5 pt
sack = 3 pts
int = 4 pts
fumble forced = 1 pt
pass defended = 3 pts
The offensive stuff is pretty self-explanatory. Fuck people who want to only give 4 pts for a passing td. You're wankers. Now onto the defensive scoring values- I've bumped up the points on some stuff (ints, passes defended) because that gives us a reason to play dbs other than just that, you know, we have to. Really tho, we're all gonna end up drafting and playing middle linebackers and safeties that get a lot of tackles because that's where the points are.
The good thing about this is that we can have a competitive league with only 8 teams due to the roster requirements. Each team is gonna need a minimum of 3 qbs. I've already got maybe two other people interested, so if you want in pm me and if enough people do we'll talk about a draft time and date and I'll create the league and crap.

tl;dr
I am in.

just remember that you can't draft David Wright this time.
-
This is why I am so lost.
-
Draft Jason Campbell.
-
Fuck it, four people is enough to start the league. brb.
-
I am in.
Will draft Brady :heart
Brady Quinn doesn't seem like a good first round pick.
-
League created; pms sent to Federwang, Malek and Cajole. Draft is Sunday September 6th at 3:30 pm. It can be changed, I'm pretty sure so if that just out and out DOESN'T WORK for someone, let me know.
I forgot a couple of scoring things like 2 pt conversions and safeties and whatnot, so I added them in. Also, since we've got so many active roster spots (13) I added NINE bench spots. You have to have at least 1 extra qb, wr, rb, a couple extra defensive players etc. Plus you might want to play matchups and such. Also, we need to have deep teams since there will only be eight in the league.
FOUR SPOTS LEFT! Send a pm if you want in.
-
Three spots left!
-
Twoooooo spots left!
-
How did we get so many people?

How did we get so many people?
Let's see, you, me, cajole and malek to start. That's four out of eight. Then blackmage messaged me and asked in; after I verified that he is currently up to date on his medication I approved him. Then while we were working at the local Death Panel earlier, Mandark mentioned he was interested. That's six out of eight. Almost home free!
-
As a registered Republican and fellow Washingtonian, I am not sure I can be in the same league as Mandark!
-
I plan to draft Cooley in the first round, in the expectation that Willco will offer me his 1st, 3rd, and 5th picks in exchange for him.
-
I would draft Cooley in the first round if his wife came with him.
-
Cooley's wife always cums with him.
-
I'm in, but I just want to have fun out there. So I'll choose Brett Favre
How about 3 points for interceptions?
-
i'm in if theres room
-
wtf...got my hopes up that professional foosball exists and has a following.
-
Never played jock D&D, but I'm in if there's room. Also, let's do a pick 'em league!
