Let me re-cap the chat for those that were too busy over-bidding for questionable talent:
Tim: blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, my hair's on fire, blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, I miss GE, blah blah, blah.
Kevin: I love cats.
Jay: Tim is gay.
Mike D: How do I turn on the intra-web???
And so it begins. The ESPN league site is awesome. It shows head-to-head projections for each of the week's match-ups, polls for who you think will win, solid line-up management with an easy-to-use (except for Mike D.) interface. The excitement is high.
Prediction Time:
On paper, it looks like (as much as this pains me to admit it) that Mike D., Harris, and Hauser all did well. But then again, if anyone can find a way to fuck it up, I'd vote for the same owners. There is certainly name-brand recognition on their respective rosters. Maybe they are just label whores.
Games start tonight, so set your lineups. The computer randomized the waiver wire, but it is up and running - we're all learning together. The trash talk should be loud and plentiful this year if last night's chat was any indication.
Good luck and bring the pain.
I know it is early, but any thoughts on how the keeper league aspect will work?
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree...the teams we should be most worried about are in the hands of the owners we can be least worried about. Can't wait to see the first week results.
ReplyDeletei think we need a name for the Tropy at the end of the year!
ReplyDeleteeg. Superbowl, Grey cup etc..
some ideas here:

Hmmm....sophomore year and full of suggestions. It would appear as though somebody doesn't seem to get how it works around this league. Just ask some of the other owners how well their ideas/suggestions have gone over in the past.
ReplyDeleteTrophy Name Sugestions:
ReplyDeleteEastgate Cup - Free Ford (from the cash for clunkers trade-ins) to the winner
Care Bare Kippah - Winner gets matzah ball soup for 1 year
Kevin's Cats Cup - living, breathing trophies and Kevin gets the cats out of his house for a year.
Move in With Fusco Pass - one year of retirement living in the londo
Second place: 2 years living with Fusco!
ReplyDeleteGood times last night guys. I was running the draft analyzer last night and it came up with some pre-season predictions. I've uploaded them here:

Not sure how or why I got two of the top three RB's... wasn't really wanting that, but it does leave some room for movement on my team. Barney is open for bizznass.
