Trail Talk Fantasy Football League

“Congrats...This doesn't mean your the better hiker though.... :)”

“Check out the size of David Boston. He was always a big receiver but this year he's huge. Bigger than many lineman.
”

“Too bad he plays for a wuss team.”

“Looks like someone's been taking their steroids.”

“Nice. I read that David Carr beefed up quite a bit too - needs it to help take all the punishment I guess. Although I heard they improved the "O" this season leaps and bounds over last year's.”

“Yes, its' that time of year once again. The first year had a couple of bumps in it but this year will hopefully be better. Scoring and postional stats have changed and will be even more competitive.

“I'm in. Can we change the draft date? Just asking.. I'm out of town that weekend.”

“I'm in like Flynn.. I'll sign up by the end of the weekend.”

“Forget it, I'm signed up now. Hail to the Kayakers of Death!!!!! :-)”

“Yeah, can we change the draft date, like Binks said? I'm going to be backpacking in the Adirondacks then.”

“artex i'm gonna kick your butt!”

“Yeah, and then your alarm clock went off!”

“c'mon, you can do s better reply than that!! ;-)”

“I was trying to be a gentleman... but okay:

I'm gonna tie the long hair on the back of your head to the short hairs on your a$$ and kick you on down the street!!!

How's that?”

“i have no butt hairs.”

“Fine, I'll use superglue.”

“btw artex........why a plural name? shouldn't you be Kayaker of Death?”

“Hmmmm... I'll need to carefully consider whether or not I should join this league.

I'm considering.”

“With all my players, we're a team! I am just the manager of a fine squad of players. Hence the plural.”

“**grumble grumble (youknowwhy)”

“LOL @ yam!”

“Well, throw out some dates you guys would prefer to have the draft. I'm available just about anytime for football. The only problem with rescheduling the draft would be I'd have to start a new league from scratch and re-enter all scoring info. Additionally, all folks already signed up would have to re-sign for the new league. Lets try to get a date set by Sunday evening because the dates are filling up quickly.

Phaedy, you know you want to. You did pretty well last year. Better than I thought you would.

Artex, good to have you aboard again. We'll definitely do hockey again.

Yam and the Binkster, awesome!”

“I'll continue to consider it.”

“OK, I changed the draft time to:

Friday, August 29 at 7:40 pm PDT

Speak up if you something diff.”

“i'll be bpacking 8/21-9/2.........but if worse comes to worse, i can get a 'trusted' friend of mine to draft for me. :-(”

“Yam, your going to be out for 10 days or was that suppose to be Aug 29”

“10 days.”

“i mean sept. 2. dang!!!”

“where you going for 10 days, you have mail BTW”

“Those dates work for me. Thanks”

“Can I draft all Browns?”

“To make it fair, the rest of us would have to draft all Bengals.”

“Phaed, BB is serious. He dropped/traded most of his baseball team mid-way for Indian players. Sent some the other coaches into a tizzy. Pretty funny.”

“Bumping this back up to the top.

We need more people, sign up soon! :-)”

“I would consider joining if I wasn't going to be backpacking during the draft.

I'm drafting in my regular fantasy league on Sep 3. Can't wait!!!”

“You do know that you can set your team to draft automatically in case you can't make it on draft day. Just rate your players in teh order you want them drafted.”

“Hyway's right.. c'mon Tarabull, sign up! :-)”

“No, I didn't know that. Lemme think about it. What's the deadline to sign up?”

“I would imagine it's by draft time.. but the sooner the better. Dosen't take but a minute to sign up!”

“I'll prolly do it. Why not, eh?

Is yam in? Cuz if she's in, then I'm in. I'd LOVE to kick her little a$$ around. lol”

“Hey Phagreas, glad to see ya joined. :)

(It's a joke, man!)”

“Well, we have 6 now. I'm hoping for 12 but 10 will do in a pinch. Come on, Tarabull! Get BB off his ass also!”

“Tarabull, yup, she's in. Sign up now! :-)”

“oh tara, tara, tara. you are so young yet and full of hope.....:-)
you can never beat me. but i will allow you to keep the faith that one day, albeit small, you might.”

“oh geez! lol.

we'll both have interesting teams if we have to "auto draft".

can't wait to see how it turns out...”

“actually, on one of the ff teams i was on last year, the guy that auto drafted ended up winning!!!”

“the first year i played on a ff league, the team that signed up late go the "granny" team (leftovers) and won the superbowl. it's not always skill. it's usually just dumb luck.

either way, i'm kicking yer @ss, little one.”

“Can I play?”

“Cat fight! Reowrr! Fft! Fft!”
