 If a lot of people loved each other, the world would be a better place to live. e: We are full, sorry. Welcome, friends, to Year III. As with third movies in any given series, it comes with plenty of hype but will probably end in disappointment for most. As of this posting we have 7 of 12 of last year’s teams signed on to return. The 5 remaining teams are, of course, still welcome to join the league, so I’m comfortable giving them a week from this posting to do so before we start tacking on some newbies. If an old team needs a Join email sent to a different address than the one that Yahoo has, just let me know. I’m also open to the idea of just blowing the league up to 16 teams, which in my experience always makes for an entertaining season. If you want to join us on our cinematically-themed but mostly otherwise standard fantasy football journey, just post and we can figure it out before poo poo starts. It'd be nice if you posted in Cinema Discusso but it seems dumb to make that a restriction, and it feels equally as dumb to say only join if you're "into movies" because who the gently caress isn't into movies? What's most important is that you play through the whole season and give every week your best even if you're not doing well. That's the real requirement. Rules are mostly Yahoo standard except for .5 PPR and penalties for missing easy FGs/PATs. As with pretty much everything here, the rules are up for discussion. The draft is arbitrarily set for  Saturday, August 30 at 3pm. It can change according to people’s schedules and I think it’d be best to keep it at some point on that weekend.As for league theme this year, let’s talk about it. We’ve done two directors now (Coens/Carpenter), but it could really be anything. We just need a wide berth of titles/characters with which we can either make a dumb pun or try to sound cool to only ourselves. Tradition dictates. Kurosawa or Bergman, for example, have a shitton of material to work with. 2012 Champion:  The Big Gronkowski (JoeRules)2013 Champion:  The Porkchop Express (Gatts)2014 Teams Philip Seymour Hoffman Division 2.

Swarm posted:If you still need one and aren't terribly offended by my fresh regdate, I'd be down for this. As long as you play every week, that's what matters. You can click here to join. PSH/Williams sounds good to me. I'll do it in the league now and mostly auto-organize it but if you have a specific preference for conference I'll shuffle you around.

Sorry I've been more absent than I'd like; I'm still open to changing the draft if it can accomodate more people. I can't do tomorrow night but would it help anyone if we did it earlier in the day?

I also realized I'm an idiot who never even glanced at or mentioned time zone. It's 3pm Mountain, i.e. 5pm Eastern.

Only Week 1 but I almost feel like we're fighting for PSH's soul or something. e: Also, it's looking like whoever was signed up as Thing Reference is AWOL, so we could bring another Crazy 8 into the fold. Kull the Conqueror fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Sep 7, 2014 |

Fuckin' hell, my team was flaccid this week. Forte didn't see a lot of chances. You were supposed to be out, Brandon Marshall!

Vargo posted:so I doubled-down on Panther RBs Well, the writing was on the wall with that tactic. e: Looks like unless Matt Forte drops 30, we'll only have one undefeated team left in the league going into week 4.

Russell Wilson's War has shattered the season's worst score record by about 8 points; so far that record has been revised weekly. A Most Wanted Manning is now officially the only undefeated team, but in terms of cumulative score, it is clear that true power lies in the Robin Williams division with four teams attaining over 300 points so far to the Hoffman division's one.

Looks like my hopes for the week (and frankly, the season) rest upon Drew Brees in primetime vs. a historically porous Dallas secondary. I'll take those odds.  e:

I looked at Vargo's week and was like "drat, I've never seen such a disappointing output," but then I saw Aaron Rodgers was benched for Jay Cutler and my sympathies morphed into cackling merriment.

The standings remained fairly consistent in the Hoffman division this week, while in the Williams division Jumanjiovanibernard took a tumble despite a winning record thanks to an inadequate total points score. Good Morning Lambeau and What Brees May Come are, as it stands, the most competitive teams. Talented Mr. Ridley is slowly morphing in tone from comedic football badness to merely tragic and depressing. But still kinda funny.

That's...kinda dumb. I thought I had the waiver settings to be that whoever's got the worst team gets priority.
