FYI, that team is an auction keeper in a 12-team league. I’d never pull that haul in a redraft crapshoot.

I got 3 out of 5 in the top 26. Hooray! Unless you deduct for turnovers, not sure how Brees isn’t there. Now I’ll go back and read the post.

Miz; You happy with Butch Jones as the coach? I think Tenn may have actually made a good hire. It kind of sucks.

I guess so. we’ll see after signing day.

Completely awesome, yet underutilized word.
Good job. Good effort.

ah, the pre-BCS college football method.

Beat me to it.

Just goes to prove you can’t please everyone when proving “who’s best”. This is devolving into a bcs thread.

I think you make of fantasy football what you want. I honestly don’t get caught up in rooting for things because I can’t control. I’m so busy during games that I don’t check the scores, and I don’t obsess about whether my guy gets stopped at the one or not.

That wasn’t always the case, but I’ve learned to strategize before hand, but not obsess over the minute by minute results.

Does anyone not do playoffs in FF? We just roll all 17 games and the one with the best record wins. Tiebreaker by points scored. Playoffs seem hacky.

The best is the guy who’s a fan of Team A, but Team B has one of his players on it, so he’s all, “it’s cool, bro, because I get points when he scores anyway. I just hope my team balls out and wins 50-48.”

Sad, funny, and painfully common.

Absolutely not. Takes away the clutch factor.

I thought it was because he wore his Hines Ward jersey and steelers hat on backwards to buffalo wild wings every week and took up an entire table by himself with his laptop and asked for hi-fives from everyone in the restaurant whenever Ray Rice scored a TD.

Oh man…I laughed out loud because I’ve definitely seen this dude. The best is the guy who’s a fan of Team A, but Team B has one of his players on it, so he’s all, “it’s cool, bro, because I get points when he scores anyway. I just hope my team balls out and wins 50-48.”

This is why “Fantasy Football dude who brags” is so annoying.

I think if you’re going to do playoffs, the season should end in week 15, not week 16. So the playoffs start in week 13 (or 12 if you have a lot of teams). So few teams (if any) rest players in week 15.

Maybe so, but too often we were seeing the team with the most points and wins losing in the first round due to someone being rested.

Do you not do seeding in your playoffs? If the team with the best record and most points isn’t playing the lowest qualifier then you’re not doing the playoff right. If the best team loses to the lowest seed it’s difficult to feel sorry for them. Shit happens.

Our payment amounts were based on point differential, so the incentive was always there. Plus, it wasn’t winner take all, so there was still some jockeying for a percentage of the pot.

Yeah…we were so new to it and were tweaking things here or there. Took us a while to figure out the best way of doing it. I don’t really miss FF though. It made watching games less enjoyable for me.
