Trail Talk Fantasy Football League

“tree--is maple reputable?? ;-)

buck--i'd say that the above typo goes exactly your way...”

“I've had three matches where I've lost by less than two points. This week was one of them. I feel like my favorite real-life team.”

“Artex imitates life, they say...



...Who the hell says that??”

“HA! Tough luck ain't it, Artex?”

“I think the only thing more annoying is watching "The Nanny" reruns.”

“LOL, artex!! you don't like her laugh??”

“Clever, treebeard. :)”

“:) Thanks!”

“My team sucks, I'm changing the name.”

“my teams sucks even more. i've fallen below trees of fanghorn. HOW EMBARRASSING!

:-p”

“My team sucks also.

Oh, wait. No it doesn't. My team ROCKS! Go Defense!”

“Rocky - you are kicking a$$, it's the dude in first you should be worried about (unfreakin' defeated? In Fantasy Football?)

Good Luck!”

“Just a reminder..

Thursday games are now in effect. Football on Thanksgiving. WooHoo!

Set your lineups accordingly.”

“Tara, would you please keep an eye on my things down in the basement. I may be back to get them! :)”

“Not only did this man beat me, he defeated the only undefeated team in the league, and overcame insurmontable odds to take the title.


TTFFL League Champion:

ROCKMAN

{the crowd cheers}”

“Congrats to Rockman! Fun season everyone.”

“Congrats, RM! It was a blast this year. Hope you keep me in mind when putting the league together next year...”

“Yeah, congrats to Rockman, but he never beat the undefeated. He beat the team that beat the undefeated team.

Say that ten times fast!”

“Thanks for the congrats everyone. You can send me the winners kitty when you get around to it. It was a fun year unfortunately I didn't forsee how much the ret yrds category would askew the points. Next year, it will be different.

Maybe someone else would like to take over commish duties next year? Phaedy, BB?”

“maaaaayyyyyybee.”

“who's the commish this year?

i want in.”

“Rockman, you doing it again? I'm up for it too!”

“Count me in as a definite.”

“hey, let's go people, we're wasting daylight here.

yahoo is up and waiting for the league to be created.

who the hells in charge around here?”

“Waiting to hear from the Rockman!”

“well where is that sumobeatch.

the saccomaniacs are hungry...”

“Are you folks sure you want another whoopin?! I'm right in the middle of baseball but I put alittle something together ASAP.

Same rules as last year? Defense and Offense?”

“whateva.

only thing i was wondering about is the draft.

for me the draft is 75% of the fun of the whole season.

but my weekends are totally booked up.

i was thinking of this:

can you set it for a live draft, off-line ?

that way we can just schedule it kind of loosely around peoples schedules, weekday nights, weekdays, ect.

the only hassle would be punching in all the players into yahoo afterwords.

i would volenteer to play 'secretary' for the draft if you don't wanna.”

“You got it, Rocko!”

This is what I came up with and already registered. If there is a conflict with the draft time I think we change it. Any of the scoring categories is also up for change if agreed on be the majority.

Sacco, I totally agree that the draft is the most important and prefer it to be live. I am unfamiliar with doing live drafts outside of Yahoo though. It seems like it would be alot of work coordinating times with this group.”

“I'm into fantasy football...I fantasize the Bengals won't suck donkey balls this year!”

“i did an offline, live draft last year with yahoo. it worked out pretty well because it was so difficult to coordinate times.

offline plus - everyone doesn't need to be online at the same time.


offline minus - it takes a little longer.
- the commish has to punch in all the teams afterwords. (but like i said, i'd volenteer to punch them in)


not a big deal, since the time/date you picked works for me!

it's just a suggestion if we can't find a time/date for everybody - or most everybody.”

“The new League ID# is 14460, just in case you are asked for it.

Sacco, didn't doing the draft offline take forever? Seems it would take weeks.”

“nah, 2 days.”

“How many are in on this and is the draft time set in stone? I plan on being off line on Labor Day.”

“is it just me, or are the little helmets dumb?

what the hell is the point of them?”

“i'm in”

“I'm in! And I know Yammie is ready for a rumble with my team! See, I remembered...”

“grRRRRR, treebeard!
This year, I'm gonna crush you all.
Well, maybe. :)”

“I just signed up. My team is The Wicked Northmen.

Dogmeat. All of you.”

“HA !

do you hear that?

can't you all hear it?

that's the sound of saccomania running wild baby!!!”

“I'm in........”

“Who won last year? Was it Phaedrus?

Chili, No, the draft isn't set in stone. Did I pick Labor day?”

“i'm not so sure about this year... drafting D was a drag. i just don't have the smarts about defensive players. :-(”

“I am in.”

“I agree....drafting individual "D" players is a drag....can it be changed to just team defense?”

“Rockman, do we need to sign in now to secure a spot?”

“Sorry for getting back so late... packing for the Sierras, ya know.

We can do just a team D if that's what most want. I personally LOVE IDP but I'm cool with eiter.

TB, hurry and sign up to guarantee a spot. Once it fills its done.”

“Ok, I'm in! The 'Sultans Of Sting' are ready to rock 'n' roll!”

“I vote defense team!!

TEAM DEFENSE, TEAM DEFENSE........yayyyyyyyyy!”
