My body is ready for mediocrity again.

I'll continue my strategy of drafting a couple great players, and just sitting on them, making GBS threads up the leaderboards.

Pumped for another year of this nonsense. The real question is...

Who's going to draft Adrian Peterson this year?!

So, last year draft order was decided based on beer we were drinking during the draft? Shall we keep it the same?

I think Toxx is acceptable? It's getting closer to the start of the season and may be tough to arrange any kind of trade to vouch for new players that might not have traded with anyone on the forum.

Mondays and Wednesdays are great for me. I do have another draft on Wednesday though...Anyone know if you can do two simultaneous drafts on ESPN?

8/24 is best for me. 8/26 I have another draft, but could potentially do both.

I do prefer snake (only because I've never done an auction draft), but I don't care really. I'm just looking forward to sending someone another box and holding onto great players while keeping barely above .500.

I've got a draft 8/26, but I can try to do both at the same time. I'm commishing the league I'm drafting for Wednesday though, so it's not ideal but I could do it.

this league is going to be a shitshow and i can't wait

This is possibly going to be the weirdest fantasy football season in history, simply because of two (three?) reasons.

1.) The draft was very even across the board.

2.) We are all very intoxicated

And three...

Other than my QBs, no one on my team scored a TD this week. Starters AND bench, not a single TD!

Unless Aaron Rodgers has the worst game of his career tonight, I'm hosed.

It's been a strange game for us this week. I didn't expect steve smith to finally go off like that this week, and I didn't expect a combined 2 points from my RBs.

Hell, who knows though. I'm fully expecting Rodgers to break his leg on the first drive.

This is the first time I've ever played in a league this size. It's pretty interesting that Chris 'Bang Bang Chicken and Shrimp' Polk was one of the better RBs available for me this week, due to Chris Ivory being made out of chewing gum and saran wrap.

I might be enticed out of Carson Palmer for a RB. I don't have PMs, I'm Ben Roethleslager.

So, I need Golden Tate and Steven Hauschka to score 18 points combined to continue my "not scoring a lot of points, getting lucky that bad players play well" strategy.

Stafford has to throw the ball to someone, right?

Well that's never happened to me before - I was picking up a player off FA just now and when I hit confirm it gave an error saying another roster was invalid. Went back and saw Roethlislager had picked the guy up, must have beat me by seconds.

Sorry bro!

To my credit, McCown only needed 5 points or so. Really, you lost to Ryan Fitzpatrick throwing bombs to Brandon Marshall! #jetsjetsjets


I've won 3 straight but need a lot of things to go my way this week to make the playoffs. Good luck everyone

Very true. My wife was playing against Marshall this week too, so we were both pretty anti-jets.

Its just funny that from Sunday night till MNF I was joking about McCown's car possibly breaking down on his way to the stadium, or him getting the flu, or simultaneously throwing an interception and breaking his leg. He finally gets hurt in the fourth.

I can't believe I'm relying on Tim Hightower to make or break my fantasy season (in two leagues!) Either way, good luck. I like your odds of Golden Tate scoring 4.2 points more than Hightower.

What's funny is *my wife* is in the same boat. Playing against Hightower.

Good luck brother!

Cervixalot got eliminated because an offensive lineman on the opposite side of a play forgot to report as eligible and it negated a Hightower touchdown.


Fantasy football is a hell of a game

I was at work the entire game and didn't get to see this crap. I'm sorry dude, but watching the score on my phone it was really loving close. Good match dude. We will have to work out a trade.

Just a heads up, weather right now kinda sucks in the midwest. Here in IN we've had some terribly cold temps (like -20 degree wind chill), so definitely try and monitor weather conditions to where you're sending your box. You don't want that box to freeze!

I'd advise getting together with whoever you're sending a box to to see what their weather is like. Better to be a little later on shipping than to get a porch bomb that blows up, well, on your porch.
