Awesomeness does not begin to describe just how sheerly awesome this is.

 

I'm in as Football Meets Groin, btw.

[Jon]

Hmm. That does look pretty good. I'm going to have to think about it.

 

This is also worth posting:

I'm in and made a group called Northside Baseball. My team is Dolly Parton's Busts.

[Jon]

I joined the group as Illegal Motion Moses.

 

By the way, this makes perfect sense for my first fantasy league ever. I refuse to root for anyone who wasn't on my favorite team (aside from ex-Northwestern players), so this is great.

Kyle Orton Rules reporting.

 

This seems like football's answer to Hacking Mass.

[TruffleShuffle]

I'm picking J.P. Losman every week he's available.

[NCCubFan]

BTW, I think this thread better fits in the Fantasy Sports forum, so it's moving time.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'm in as We [expletive] Suck.

[sethuel1]

I'm in as Seth's Midgets (had to pick in a couple minutes before class, so no time to modify the old standard name)

^^ Another fantasy league just like it. Run by BaseballProspectus' partners at FootballOutsiders. Same basic idea as the other one mentoined here, so I thought I'd post it. Deadline is Saturday.

I'm ranked 2,280th through week 1 with 265 points. Longwell really hurt me.

 

I don't see any way to view the scores of other members of the group, though.

I'm in 736th place. I had a solid week but like you, I was hurt by Longwell. Joey Galloway had a big week, and J.P. Losman did too (as expected).

[NCCubFan]

1254th place with 460 points. Negative points for Rackers and Gore and zero from the Vikings' defense were my undoing. Losman, Driver, and Chad Johnson were good to me.

 

I didn't see any way to see the group scores either (kind of shoots the purpose of having groups if you can't view group standings; maybe they'll fix that). You can view the group members, but not the scores.

[sherwood921]

177th with 750 points. Moss, Losman, and Galloway led the way.

[rocket]

Washington Foreskins are in 2061st place :x

The web site is now set up so you can see the standings for the group. If you click on the group page you can click to see the group standings for an individual week or for the season. I'm not sure they're currently accurate, however, because the point total shown for me for the year on the group page is different than what is shown on my team page. If accurate, I'm currently in first place for the group. \:D/

 

Regardless of the accuracy of the group standings, compared to everybody I'm now up to #631 out of 6698 with 680 points.

[Jon]

Stupid Favre. Bush got me 200 points, though. And I did shoot up to 960 out of 6707.

 

Sadly, I'm 6th in the group :(

[Jon]

Favre did me in again (along with the Vikings' D). Just 270 points this week, dropping me to 1126th overall. Of course, I was third in the group this week and now 5th overall.

[NCCubFan]

I'm second in the group overall, but Dolly Parton's Busts is running away with it. Nationally I'm #646 with 1150 total points. 365 points last week, with Favre, Longwell, and the Vikings defense hurting me.

[sethuel1]

you're third in the group now that I joined

[NCCubFan]

Week 4: 490 points (Brunell and Graham hurt me the most).

 

Season to date: 1640 points (#602 out of 7336).

 

NSBB group: #2 for the week, #3 overall.

[NCCubFan]

Week 5: 215 points (burned by both the 49ers and Titans defenses; I should have known better than to go with a defense playing against the pathetic Raides, but the Titans defense against the Colts offense SHOULD have been a huge scorer). Overall 1855 points for 705th place; 3rd both for the week and overall in the NSBB group (a whole bunch of zeroes in the group last week).

[Jon]

5 freakin' points last weekend. Not only did I have the 49ers and Titans, but Neil Rackers cost me 170 points.

[TruffleShuffle]

Boy, my team blew up this week!

 

Mo Morris 150

Niners D 300

Cardinals D 200

Brad Johnson 200

Reggie Williams 225

 

 

up to 467th overall... looks like most people in the group have mailed it in though

[NCCubFan]

I'm one of the ones still participating. I got 1065 points last week to move up to #300 overall. I'm still #2 in the NSBB group, as I have been the past few weeks.
