Draft Chat

[burnt out cubbie fan]

So I picked Plax thinking that Tiki was still the Giants running back. Whoops. Hopefully that doesn't mean every team doesn't roll a ton of coverage towards Plax this year...

I just want to know if I can go ahead and draft McFadden this year and stash him on my bench until next year.

Only if I can do that with Brohm.

Fine with me... ;)

Have you set up the league yet IMB?

 

Oh yeah, you should also ask Tim to make you admin of this forum so you can unsticky the old draft threads and stuff.

I was going to make it the other day, but I meant to ask you guys if you wanted yahoo or fleaflicker this year?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Either one is fine. I've only used yahoo, so maybe those who have used both can tell us which one is better.

pretty sure TT was pimping fleaflicker pretty hard last year, and he's a smart cookie. I thought he said that they had free stat-tracker, but im probably a lying [expletive]

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Yeah, it's free live scoring according to the site. Roast actually used it last year, he may be able to better say how useful it is.

It's a real nice site and it does track stats and throw all kinds of cool charts and stuff at you. I'm not totally in love with the layout but it's still nice.

Do you prefer it to yahoo?

[rickrolled]

I looked at Fleaflicker's tour, I think we should give them a shot, they have some cool features that might make them worth trying.

Really it's a toss up for me. All the extra features are really cool but like i said I'm not a huge fan of the layout. I'm all for giving it a shot, though. I say we go ahead and do it this year.

you've got to be [expletive] me, 4 tight ends taken in a row? askdfj;lsakdjgkahsblkjx

[burnt out cubbie fan]

Are you serious? That's the saddest thing I have ever seen. This is why I don't post here anymore.

Because it looks down upon swearing?

[burnt out cubbie fan]

no, because it feels like every thread is being looked over by a bunch of soccer moms.

Eh. It's kind of nice to be able to browse this forum at work/around my mom and not have to worry about swear words popping up. Plus, it's nice not to have the personal attacks going on.

 

Sometimes it probably goes a little too far, BUUUUT I think that's just one negative side effect of running such a family friendly board.

[imb]

if its all the same to you guys, i think im just going to stick with yahoo. I've been messing around with fleaflicker, and I don't really like it.

Great call. I didn't want to have to go to two different sites for fantasy football.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Signed up.

[burnt out cubbie fan]

Can we have fractional points please? There were a couple of games last year that were really close and might have gone one way or another with them. Also, I hate 50 and 20 yards per point. It makes TDs far too valuable imo. Plus, high scoring games are fun :) .

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Signed up, and yes, please go with fractional points. I don't see any reason not to.

[ChiCubsFan]

I agree with Vance on the yardage as well. It makes TDs way too important. I'd go with 10 and 25.

 

While were on the subject of scoring, how about only 4 points for a passing TD. It's becoming more and more common and it's actually Yahoo's default setting now. The reasoning is obvious. QBs throw for more TDs than WR catch TDs or RBs run for TDs (unless you are LT).

Roast and O_O still need to register for the league, although I think O_O is still having some internet access issues for the time being.
