Who wants in?

If I can research the legal aspects of it, it could possibly be for a prize this year.

I'm in

I will do it this year.

I'm in.

that's four, we need more

anybody else?

We need at least 4 more.

I might be able to land ya 1 more person. So if we get 2 or 3 more I can find a buddy of mine who might be willing to play just so we can have a league.

He's a Fins fan and runs my Dolphins blog with me

I'm in.

As I mentioned to lifer via PM...if you get 9, I'll be #10. I just can't stand playing in the little 8-team leagues.

everybody message me your emails who is in.

for the people who aren't on this board, I will respond with my email address and whoever is introducing them can send it to them

So close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^^^ And me...if you get 2 more. ;)

I might have one more. Give me a couple days to get an email from him.

I've got an 8th person. Have you sent out emails yet?

I'm exploring different options for the league.  Espn or Yahoo.

Also, can we a ninth person?  Anybody?  Then we can add Stroke on too

I prefer yahoo. Simple format

I'll play.. and win.

I like yahoo. I run all my leagues with them.

So does this mean you're in sunstroke?

If we've got it up to 10 (including me), then absolutely...

That's ten!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stay tuned I will send out the emails by the end of next week

In the meantime...how about checking with league members to find a draft date/time that is suitable for all?

Just sayin'...

I was going to get to that as well.

Most evenings are good for me. 

What about everybody else.  I think a Sunday evening might be the best

I'm not available before 9pm on Sunday evenings which might be too late for some.

Evenings are good for me as well. Sunday evening would be perfect.

Evenings aren't terribly good for me, particularly as late as 9pm. Saturday would be preferable to Sunday for me.

I would definitely not be home on a Saturday night. What about 7-8 on a weeknight?

I can double draft online if necessary, so I am pretty much good for any time the league decides on.

Works for me, any night except Wednesday would be best.

Just sent invites to everybody except fyo, whom I still haven't gotten an email address from

All of you should have received invites by now.  Please let me know if you have not already

How about next friday evening for the draft?

I do things on Friday and Saturday nights. Mon-thurs is best.

As of right now the draft is set for this Tuesday at 8pm est. if you want to make it a later date I'd advise moving the time soon.

I am aware of this. I will change it

Still need to get the remaining 4 owners to join...

My buddy joined so it's down to 3 now.

EVERYBODY HAS JOINED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool,  so when are we doing this thing?  Maybe next Monday or Tuesday,  9/1 or 9/2?

I need everybody to tell when they want to do it

I nominate either 9/1 or 9/2. My friend who joined our league will be back in town by then and it works for me too.

9/1 is when I have it set for as of now

I have another live draft scheduled for the same day at 8pm CDT.  I don't mind doing two drafts pretty close to one another, but please don't move it any earlier than 9:30pm CDT if it stays on Sept 1.

Late night drafting is completely impossible for me.

9/1 is a federal holiday, perhaps it could be done earlier.  like schedule for 6:00 CDT (7:00 EDT) and if he needs to drop at 8:00 he can.

Yeah, earlier is fine also.  These things normally take about 30 minutes anyway, so there should be plenty of time.

How about sunday at 5, 6, or 7

I'm pretty easy to accommodate on weekends.

I won't be able to make Sunday night and my friend will still be out of town so he won't make it either.  I think Tuesday would work best bc it's not a holiday. How about 6:30 EST?

dolphins4life's Sunday @ 5pm would be perfect for me, but Tenshot's 6:30 pm Tuesday would be doable (no later, though).

It has to be monday tuesday or wednesday

Tuesday I work, but I could probably get that evening off.

How about Wednesday at 7

Tuesday or Wednesday is Fine with me and the other guy I brought in.

Earlier than 7 would be better for me...

Like 6:30?  I work 8-5 M-F and I don't get home until 6

6:30 is better than 7 ;).

just set it for 6:30 on Wednesday

My two Seahawks gave me to a nice start to the season...hopefully it's a sign of things to come. ;)

After a nice win last week I did some roster re-shuffling to drop some dead weight and am looking to go 2-0 this week

Still players going, so anything is possible...but it's starting to look like the only team that will get to 2-0 in our league is Sunday Psychosis. ;D

You made it to 3-0...congrats!

Sorry, Meca-man, there's nothing more aggravating than scoring the second-highest total for the week...only to face the one team to outscore ya. Makes ya want to kick the schedule-maker in the junk.  ;)

I have a hunch my unbeaten run could come to an end this week though. Between byes and poor match-ups, my confidence levels aren't too high.

I hope you're right  ;)

Yeah, I noticed that.  Oh, well.  Maybe I'll catch a break toward the end of the season.

I'm still cheesed the computer auto picked Toby Gerhardt for me in the 4th round!  That'll teach me not to get my Eastern and Central time zones mixed up again.  I'll be paying for that all season.

Denver's defense had a bye this week so I decided to make the Thursday night game interesting for me to watch by picking either the Giants or the Redskins defense.

Take a wild guess as to which one I picked  ???

Lucky win for my team this week, but this is a TOUGH season. Only 'stroke has outscored me (and by a measly 11 points), but my opponents have racked up 200+ points more than his. I need some defensive help! ;)

My team was hot early but has fallen apart. The AJ Green injury has killed me. Nick Foles going down didn't help either

Let's just say that if DeMarco Murray goes down,  I no longer have a team ;-)

I've ridden a trio of top-6 RBs (Lynch #2, Forte #4, Forsett #6), the top ranked defense and #2 TE, but I've gotten mediocre QB play all season. My WR corps, aside from Maclin, has been pretty abysmal as well.

Hopefully I'll have enough horsepower to make it into the playoffs...too many teams between 6-4 and 4-6 to feel comfortable yet.

If anyone wants to trade me a top-tier WR for Justin Forsett, please offer away. ;D

I'm happy with the season so far  ;D

Crap, I'm not the high scorer anymore.  My team has fallen on hard times the last two weeks.  I dropped from first place to third this week.

Yeah, but you get the same bye week this week (Gregory's Team) that I had last week. Easy win when your opponent isn't paying any attention to his roster.

It was nice to sneak ahead of you this past week though. If the playoffs started tomorrow, you and I would be a first round match-up. ;)

I need a consistent RB2 so badly.

Anybody want to trade me the Bills defense before the game tomorrow?

I'll start them, and then Miami will be guaranteed to score a lot of points.   

This was my Oh-Crap-DeMarco-Murray-is-on-bye week. Fortunately, it went better than my Oh-Crap-Rodgers-is-on-by week (no, my team is not built for depth). Going all out Green Bay this week, including a last minute free-agency pickup of the GB Defense, got me through what looked like a very tough round.

(I could still lose if Sankey fumbles the ball about a dozen times.)

What a close league... Except for Rice Fisties, it's pretty much all up in the air at this point.

^^^I've benefited from my schedule and getting the points I need at the right time. I'm not taking anyone lightly.

I hate you, Stroke.  It's not personal, it's just that I hate you and your stupid fantasy team right now.  I got jobbed again by you.   ;)

Yeah, Buffalo turned out to be a decent waiver wire add. When in doubt, use the defense that's playing the Jets...

I've gotten lucky twice with Monday Night comeback wins against ya this season, but that just means that if you knock me out of the playoffs (assuming I get in), the sheer satisfaction you'll get from that win will be beyond measure. ;)

The 2nd place team and the 7th place team have the same record in this league. Total log-jam in the middle. Never seen a league play out like this before..lol

The playoffs might not start till next week but in reality they start this week.

Gotta love a photo finish for the final week of the regular season. Looking at who is playing who this week, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the last spot is determined by the total points tiebreaker.

Happy I get to sit back and watch the fun until next week.

I am still barely breathing this week, but if I end up losing, I will kick myself for my TE decision this week. I heard before game time today that Julius Thomas was going to play, so I went ahead and left him active, rather than replacing him with my backup, Mychal Rivera. So, of course, Julius gives me a goose egg, while Rivera goes off for 109 yds and a TD.

This is year #28 for me in some form of fantasy football, with 5 as a paid FF writer, and I still kick myself in the nuts on a regular basis.

I want the Patriots defense this week.  Anybody want to trade?

So, by doing the math based on Yahoo's stats at 11:46pm CST on 12-8...

The #1 seed is the Rice Fisties.  Nothing can change that, regardless of the fact he was outscored by a few teams for the season (1393.88 total points), and turned it into a record of 10-4 anyway.  Congratulations are in order, sir.

The #2 seed is a battle between a bunch of teams.  FYO, Stroke, Hernandez's Homies, Domination, Mike O, and myself are playing for that position all bunched up at 7-6.  Of that group: only FYO, Domination, and myself managed to win this week.  That victory brings the 3 of us into contention for #2 with 8-6 records.  If I am not mistaken, then the tie breaker is total points for. 

Including this evening, my Money Shots scored a load of 145.04 (the final as of Monday night)  + 1319.12 for the season for a total of = 1464.16.
FYO scored 92.08 (the final as of Monday night) + 1371.06 during the rest of the season for a total  = 1463.14.
Domination scored the weekly high point at 146.54 + 1210.68 points during the rest of the season for a total = 1357.22.

By my late night math, that puts the Money Shots up by 1.02 total points over FYO for the 2nd seed.  That's pretty fucking close for the entirety of a season, regardless of any corrections that could come down the line this week.  Hell yes to the both of us for coming this close throughout the duration of a season.  That's a razor thin margin.

So, by these tallies, the Money Shots have bukake'd their competitors to finish as the #2 seed at 8-6 with 1464.16 total points

FYO comes in at #3 seed with 8-6 with 1463.14 total points
Domination comes in 4th at 8-6 with 1357.22 total points.

Only 4 teams compete for the title in the playoffs, so Stroke (1413.14 total), Hernandez's Homies (1370.66 total), and Mike O. (1216.58) were knocked out of position by losing and falling to 7-7.

Did I brain this right?  Did any corrections come through to change the outcome after midnight?

1. Rice Fisties (woot)
2. Mecas Money Shots
3. Fyos Fish
4. Domination

Good luck in the playoffs

Good luck to the group that made the playoffs!!

LeVeon Bell ended my season this week in 2 leagues. This one and in another league I am in. Played him in both and he killed me

I will say I have made a monster comeback in the Pickskin Pickem and am now in 2nd place picking up ground fast with 3 weeks to go. I started off slow but have been on fire of late

Bounced in the first round, doh!

Comes down to Domination vs Fyo for the Shiva Bowl...good luck guys.

DeMarco Murray broke his hand and will almost certainly miss the most important game of the year (for my fantasy team, anyway). Damnit.

Well good season guys. I started off slow but turned it up when it counted 6 wins in a row.  Been 5 years sense my last TDMMC title.

Congrats, my team kinda fell apart towards the end :(

Congrat's to this year's winner...I'll be back next year to reclaim my rightful crown. ;)

Congrats from me as well.
