TP NFL Fantasy Football

[Talking Poker]

Yeah, we remember how ridiculous the league was set up last year, where sucko guys like Favre were still scoring more than 2 RBs per week, despite throwing 3 or 4 picks per game.

At 1 point per 50, a 300 year game = 6 points. That's similar to a 100 yard game for RBs/WRs, which at 1 point per 20 = 5 points. In other words, it's balanced.

When a few RBs are running for 300 yards per week, I'l agree we should score them equally with QBs, but until then, this is fair.

I This the final set of settings for the league, or are more being made?

Also, are we actually doing the $10 pool? If so I will send money to TP on Tuesday (assuming my dentist doesn't give me any bad news...)

I vote to get rid of the W/R position. Anyone else?

[lightfungus]

In such a big league, I don't see removing W/R as a problem and I kinda like the idea. If anyone else agrees, I will be happy to axe it.

On a side note, I just signed up for intraural flag football at 9:15 on wednesday, and thus will be missing the draft....unless you guys don't mind me bumping it to 10:30. If this is a horrible idea let me know. I just did a 14 person draft with about the same amount of rounds and it took like an hour and 30 minutes so it wasn't too bad. Lemme know, thanks.

[Talking Poker]

I can do 10:30, but you better make sure everyone else can too.

And I'm more than willing to lose the W/R position... I thought you guys liked that stuff. I'm a purist.

[kmb13592]

What is this position, a wide reciever or running back slot?

[lightfungus]

Yes.

[Aequitas58]

I'm fine with 10:30 pm. More people have to speak up. Why do I have a feeling that 3-5 of the people already in the league aren't going to follow it... (making it annoying for the players who do participate.)

And I'd really like to know:

(i) if we're doing the $10 bet, and
(ii) if we're getting rid of W/R.

[Talking Poker]

I have the exact same feeling.

One or two people have sent in the $10, but that's it so far. I figure in order to be able to win the money, you need to pay.... so.................

And yes, I still think we should drop the W/R position.
