It's time for DU Fantasy Football
Once again we will have a Fantasy Football league for all the Football loving Evil DUers out there. To join you need to go to the following link:

http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1

And enter the following information:

League ID#: 22765
Password: gorewon

(would any freeper dare join a league where they have to type gorewon as a password - I think not!)

Once again we will do head-to-head competition with the playoffs being held the last 3 weeks of the season. We will be using an autodraft, so you need to pick your top selections for the draft and hope you get a good draft number. (this is automated by Yahoo, in fact if you don't make your list you'll just go with an automatic list created for you).

The max number of people who can join is 20 teams - can we get 20 players this year? Can FinnFann choke this year (he was the winner of last years tournament), only way to find out is to sign up and play!!!!

New Commissioner of the EDFFL (Evil DUers Fantasy Football League)

I'm in again. The Crisco Avengers started strong last season and then faded dismally towards the end. Very poor. I'll try to do better this year!

36. congratulations
if only you were as adept at the real game as you are at running your mouth, you wouldn't have a L attached to your name in perpetuity.

proposed wager: loser puts I am a Loser in their sig line for a month.

yes, even if you come in second to me, you still have to place it there.

54. the game is on
here are the terms as I propose them:

The winner will be determined as:

If both (or all three if we let Lyn in) make the playoffs, the team that advances the farthest is the winner.

If all teams lose in the same round of play, the tie breaker will be the regular season record.

If no teams make the playoffs, the team with more regular season victories is the winner.

If teams have an identical number of victories, head to head matchups will be the tie breaker.

The final tie breaker will the number of offensive points, followed by number of defensive points, followed by field goals.

how's that sounds? any additions, subtractions, suggestions?

(northzax very excited to have something on the line, maybe there'll be competition this year!!!)

The terms are agreed to. Go ahead and put the loser message in your sig...it'll be there anyway at the end of the season.

11. Do we want to stick with individual defensive players this year?
Or do we want to pick full defensive teams (ie: I want Philadelphia Eagle's defense)

Any thoughts?

I like taking individual ones, but that's just me. It does require more thought and lets face it, there's about 5-6 really good defenses out there worth having and the rest are questionable at best.

13. The other league I am in uses full teams, but
I kind of like the individual players. The only problem is keeping up with all of them.

14. individuals
if you do the team ones (not in a salary cap league) then epople get punished both for scheduling and for a bad draft. There really are only a couple of decent defenses, but some good defensive players on mediocre teams.

15. Individual
I actually propped up some of my bad offensive selections with good defensive selections last year. If you take the time, your defense can score a decent amount of points.

Go sign up. You really don't have to have any knowledge of football, which is the only explanation of how Finnfan won last year.

The Mojo Men (of Destruction!) will be back for another year of crap flinging and mutual abuse! FinnFan, you better play some CYA ball this year, because you have a lot of people that want to even up a score with you! Consider yourself "Hecksed."

(singing) Are you ready for some football?

Here is your grand opportunity to do something with other DU where personnal flaming within our special group is not only allowed, it's encouraged (mind you - ONLY in our fantasy football threads!)

The league only allows 20 teams max in the league so sign up now so you too can bow down and worship me afer I kick everyone's butt this year in football!!!!

48. The Wankers will be RAM heavy
I hope for two out of Faulk, Warner, Holt, and Bruce. Since 1998, the Rams have followed a pattern:

1998 - suck
1999 - good
2000 - suck
2001 - good
2002 - suck - but beat the Raiders, badly
2003 - SB champs again

And the Wankers are already in 2nd place.

1980-suck
1981-suck
1982-suck
1983-suck
1984-suck
1985-suck
1986-suck

well you get the idea. is what you're saying that the Rams can only be good when they get to play a loser's schedule?
