Middle of June, summer is racing along. Who is commish? Online or in flesh? Is the league full and fixed at 14? Yahoo this year?
The Lefties (how about them BoSoxs!)
3 Lions
I think JJ has a possible replacement suggestion instead of Yahoo for the new league.
Joliet Jake
I'm a slavish devotee of CBS Sportsline. I wouldn't force it upon everyone since it is not a free site, but I think the cost spread across 12-14 teams is worth it. I've already renewed my US league on this site and corrected my contact information, so I will hopefully be receiving the draft board from them this year which we could use for the TT league. We made due with a makeshift board last year, but it just wasn't the same.
Joliet Jake
@PES - You should know that your proxy will absolutely refuse to draft Michael Vick. Plan accordingly.
PES
will do.
3 Lions
I'm happy to go with what the professional fantasy players recommend.
PES
We have booked our flights to Lobsterland (Maine) from August 21st through the first week in September. I hope we meet for the draft before then.
jml
Ditto to what 3Lions said.

i don't have an opinion on it smile.gif
3 Lions
16th to the 19th August is not good for me.
perdido
Tank has been tanked. Pac man Jones turns himself in for questioning about the Las Vegas shooting. Pathetic both of them.
Courchene
I prefer a live draft prior to August 25.

I spoke to Keith (new Arc owner) about this and he said we could do a draft during the day on a Sunday, as we did last year. Seemed to work well then, didn't it?

I'll be Commish again if you want. I'm in Munich until the middle of next season

I can't do 12 August - every other date is fine
PES
I can do the 5th of August, but if Hazza can't on the 12th, then that is the only date in August I can make it. I have a proxy if that fails. I appreciate Hazza's offer to return!
The Lefties

PS. I can make it also on a weekday.

Ditto the stinky fellow. wink.gif
PES
So how many can do the 5th of August?
eurovol
Can you hum a few bars? I have a pretty good ear.
PES
Eurovol, what are you going to name your pathetic excuse for a team this year?
eurovol
Whatever is will start out as, I am sure it will change at least twice.
PES
A rose is a rose by any other name...
I admire your tenacity.
eurovol
Maybe I will draft all rookies and call them the Virgin Mary's.
PES
You mean, surely, the Hail Marys?
eurovol
Damn, even better. I must be slipping. ohmy.gif

My team will be called the All Hail Marys.

Love it!!! wink.gif
Hazza
So should we confirm 5 August then?

I just saw an error in my last post though - I'll be in Munich until the middle of next year, not the middle of next season. So I'll actually be here for the whole season, which is better for the comp.

Also, I had a look at the CBS Fantasy Football site. It looks good to me. Costs under $10 each to enter, but then we won't have to pay extra individually to get stat-tracker - looks like there's more info available and more flexibility on the scoring. Looks like the price is a special until 12 July, so we need to decide soon whether to use it, or pay more later.

Let's start getting entry confirmations here. Preference given to those who have entered in previous seasons, but if there's anyone who hasn't been involved, then let us know on this thread. First in get first free spots - several people have left Munich, so I'm sure a few spots will open up.
The Beaver
I like, wait, LOVE, American football. How can I get in on this?

I didn't read the rest of the thread and just expect you all to fill me in...

PS - I can play too if anyone has a live team. 6' 220lb hands like fly paper. I played rugby in college. I just want to hurt people... biggrin.gif Played rugs in college and Japan but would rather play Ami ball over here. It's...just...better...smile.gif
jml
Bier Bellies are ready to rumble (get it, get it) and still in if proxies are still allowed. Can I get a confirmation on that? Perdido and Mere as well I reckon? If we're a go, I'm good with the fee based site etc.

PS: All Hail Marys - Now picturing yous all in Catholic School Girl Outfits. Niiiiiiice.

I'll take bottom of the league as long as it involves skirts and catholic girls and braids and plaids and what...fooootball? biggrin.gif

I like football. and skirts and catholic girls and braids and plaid...

Yeah, just let me know!
eurovol
Leave it to Beaver! laugh.gif
Joliet Jake

PES
Not the live draft? Do you have a proxy?
The Beaver
PS - I am only able to write here on weekends but I can check from work. I'm totally in to it and will do what is ever necessary. I won't let you guys down! Hopefully, with my supreme knowledge, I can kick all ya alls asses biggrin.gif In the meantime, I'll just be happy to participate smile.gif

Sorry, many moons ago on a way, way different site. I just ready to go along with what's what here. I look forward to it!
Hazza
Beaver's in.

There will be at least one person to drop out.
The Beaver
Give me the details man. When is the draft? I want to do good and not flake on you guys.
PES
Our faithful Commish! biggrin.gif

Can't you read? We are trying to work our a date, and I am advocating August 5th.
The Beaver
Actually, no, I can't read. And I didn't bother to read page 1-3 (I just scanned it).

Aug 5 sounds good to me. I just want to make sure I'm kept in the loop! If and when I meet some of you guys, you'll understand why I love the sport so much!
PES
Leave is to Beaver. Can't wait. cool.gif
eurovol
Don't we have a limit on the number of Oregonians that can participate? wink.gif
The Beaver
Oregon State. BASEBALL NATIONAL CHAMPIONS - TWO YEARS IN A ROW!

Sorry, just had to say it. I have a friend on the team smile.gif

If you want, for the records, you can claim I'm from Alaska biggrin.gif It's all the NW to me though. Hell, I even enjoy BC and the Yukon!
mere
I need to find a proxy. if I can i'm prob in. when would you like to know by? obviously the earlier the better, but any specific date?
Joliet Jake
Good news. The official draft board arrived today. Those of you in the league two years ago will know what I mean.
Joliet Jake
BTW, I talked to 3 Lions today and I am sure he will be in the league again.
He's placed first and third in his first two years. No longer a rookie.
PES
If we settle on the 5th (of August) for a live draft at the Arc the Lefties will be on hand, meaning my Cookie would be released (for one season wink.gif ) as our proxy. Cookie may then be open (for a few beers) to serve another squad?
Hazza
OK - let's just confirm 5 August for this
PES
Okay. August 5th at 14:00 at the Arc? Are we going with the Flex again this year?
mere
Oh Cookieeee... you know how much you like my dog and would love to proxy for me smile.gif how many beers would you like?
