Didn't we agree to get rid of the def. player for this year.

Ok... got rid of it. Any other suggestions?

I vote we replace QB yards with quality throws.

I liked the D player. When I had a good one.

I am the Brett Favre of fantasy football. I can't decide if I want to go through it again.

Which reminds me, I'm going to go shoo Rachel Nichols off my lawn.

head-to-head really doesn't show how good you are for the entire year. It literally is only a measure of how you do against one person for one giving week.

So just like all other sports?

Plus a good 2-3 people just stop paying attention altogether 4-5 weeks in, which makes head-to-head worse cause they'll deliver losses to 3 teams, and then the rest of the year their starting QB and RB are on IR and it's a free win for everyone else.

Of course, it's possible that those people stop paying attention because they know by then that they won't win and they have nothing left to play for. This may be different in a head-to-head league, since playing for the win each week can be motivation enough to stay with the league, as well as the fact that as long as you can make the playoffs, anything can happen. This isn't meant as an endorsement of a head-to-head league, I really don't care much either way, just bringing it up. Also, if the sticking point is people who stop paying attention to their teams, there is an easy solution to that.

“If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?”--Vince Lombardi

Hey here's a thought. Since the current draft time doesn't work for me, I say we move it to a Wednesday starting about 7:00pm CT. I know this is short notice for our current time, but we can move it back a week or so too since we do have a lot of time before the season starts. Later drafts mean better info anyway.

I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before on here, but I personally think Vince Lombardi quotes are right up there with the most annoying things in sports. And not just because I dislike the Packers. People always quote him despite the fact that most of the sentiments behind the quotes are pretty lame.

I googled "quotes about winning" and that was one of the first quotes that came up. So I used it. I don't actually hold those beliefs highlighted in that quote, by the way.

I was reading an article about Hull City (English soccer team) and one point the author made was that American sports fans/media put too much emphasis on winning the championship and anything less is failure. In rotisserie, you could have a bad first half and have no shot of winning, but most likely you would still have a chance to move up in the standings. That's still something to play for. Your Yahoo! fantasy profile differentiates between 2nd and last. Speaking of which, this will be my 100th team.

So as a kid you were happy that you got trophies for last place? Screw that. Only in a commune is everyone equal. In business, in life, in sports, those who put forth the extra effort or have that extra advantage are rewarded.

Winning is everything... anyone who thinks otherwise is a sissy. (or in business, they're broke)

We've discussed this somewhere, because I remember Jon or me making the joke that we were a bunch of Viking fans talking about how people put too much emphasis on the Championship or not being the only deciding factor in success or failure being pretty stupid. Having a good team is its own reward. The season can be its own reward. Granted, you can have a team that's so good, say an undefeated team, that losing the championship is that much more devastating, but that season is still worth something. Superbowls have been won 43 times, 2 teams have had undefeated regular seasons. The Bills going to 4 Super Bowls in a row is more impressive than the Giants winning one against them. The CC Sabathia era in Milwaukee was still a sight to behold whether or not the Brewers went all the way. Joe Mauer finding power while flirting with .400 isn't any less amazing if the Twins don't go all the way.

I don't know anything about any inappropriate pics, but I had invited my cousin to join since there were a few extra spots open...

Draft has been changed to Aug 26th at 7:00 CST.

part of it is like what Scott says, the other part is that I like the head-to-head kind of thing. Sticking to one team this year.

Good luck to ACCarters, Maybe, and We're Coming. It should be an exciting day. Go PackOne!

I think I'll try and make a run for it too...

Not that anyone cares, but in ESPN Gridiron Challenge I ended up 1,620th overall.

I'm always a bridesmaid.

Wow, 1,620th? Of course, that sounds equally as impressive as if you said 3rd, 508th, 865,014th, or 1billionth since I have no idea how many people that is out of. I think you did poorly though, since that emoticon seems to be playing taps.
