Draft Time Changed to Sun Sep 2, 7:45pm EDT.
Some times opened up, and that helps. Make sure to pass the word around, check your computers to make sure they work with the draft software, run a couple mock drafts, etc.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

That's awesome! I have so much going on tomorrow and this was gonna be tough to turn my attention to...Good looking on the site for openings Scott :tu

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Ill be at work.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I'll be at work too. But I also work tomorrow.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Stephen you back in with the date change?

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I don't think I'll be available for that draft time/date either. Thing is, we only have 7 guys signed up and I can't run a draft until there's 10. I'm not feeling good at all and have very limited time to chase, beg and cheerlead.

I'll pm Mark right now so he'll send me his email address and I'll get an invite sent to him.
Then if I can get Stepehen and Jeremy to sign up, we'll be all set.

Jarrod has volunteered to take care of the thread here during the season. I'll take care of the gathering of cigars and sending prizes, unless it'll make it easier for Jarrod to keep track by sending stuff to him and having him forward troop stuff to me later.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Im in if there is still room.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Scott I'm down for whatever makes it easiest on you man. I know you got a ton of other stuff going on as well.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I can probably be on for at least a few rounds at work. The boss is on vaca next week...

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I sent Mark his invite.
Now we just need to somehow get Jeremy and Stephen to sign up.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

How does this work exactly? I am still not sure how the betting and losing of sticks works.

If it matters, i've never played Fantasy football.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

This is going to be confusing!!!!!! My money league draft is at 7 next Sunday!!!!!! I'm still in.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Tried signing back on but it wouldn't let me in.:gary

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

So did you gents figure out who will be collecting the sticks? I have my buy in and the troops amount ready to be sent to whoever.

Jarrod, thanks for stepping up and taking over the thread for Scott!

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in!

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Wow, everyone is signed up. Freakin fabulous, gentlemen!!! :tu
Cole, I don't know what we're gonna do about gathering sticks yet, but in all likelihood I'll do it. It just makes sense.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I would like to offer some pre draft advice just in case we have any new players.

A good kicker can make or break your season, so make sure you draft the best available with your 1st pick, and a good back up kicker with your 2nd pick, just in case your 1st one gets injured.

If you would like to donate a 5pk to the troops for this great advice, please feel free!
Thank you

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

:noon:noon

:sl You know what's funny, is we actually pulled one of these over on a person playing FF for the first time...he drafted the Bears D in the 2nd round in our draft in 2009...all in all he had a 6-7 season, so not horrible :r

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Solid advice, Travis!!! :tu
It'd be a good idea to take a long look at Billy Cundiff, he's going to be well rested once the season starts.
My wife employed this strategy last year and Mason Crosby was the #1 pick in our neighborhood Pink Flamingo League. We just discussed it at draft on Saturday (for another league). She was really happy when I gave her updates letting her know Mason was still available.

(In her defense, she wasn't familiar with Yahoo's draft, it was just a mistake. A really, really fun mistake. :))

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Update, just realized Sun is our holiday at work...:D I;ll take Dan Baily with my first pick.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Anymore room?

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

If I was POTUS for a day my one and only act would be to have Dan Bailey waterboarded. :tu :r

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

:r:r

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Are you guys full?

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Just checked the site, Tony. Looks like it's full.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

ok thanks Matt

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Good draft everyone!
Who are we sending the cigars too?

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

For some of us. Others waited way too long to draft a quarterback.:gary
I was working under this assumption and that Jarrod was going to keep track of all bets, etc.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Stephen is correct. You guys can send the smokes to me and I'll keep track of that end. Jarrod is going to keep track of bets and keep a running post going here.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

It looks like I got a pretty good squad via autodraft. At least I hope it was autodraft and not Mattso3000 as I had a backup QB and TE (worthless, wasted picks IMO). I solved that problem by grabbing the top RB's on the ww. Evan Royster was still available and he was just named the #1 RB on the depth chart, of course with a Shanahan run team that could mean he gets 0 carries. Good luck guys, can't wait for this football season to get underway!

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

We will see this week! :su:su

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Want to put your stogies where your smileys are? Troop 5er on the line?

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Hmm...I'm already down a 5'er...might as well make someone else pay an extra 5'er into the troops as well :sl since it is a sure win and all for me!

I'm in!

Scott..my buy in is flying today
9405 5036 9930 0124 8996 57

Should be there by Thursday. :tu

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Sure win huh? I love overconfidence, it makes the gloating that much more fun after I :gary

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Actually, I think I usually over analyze my draft, and end up getting beat by autodrafters...maybe I should take the hint...:D

Come on now, where are the rest of the trash talkers of the league :sh:su:sl

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I will put up a fiver to anyone, that I will have a higher score this week!!!!

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I usually end up overanalyzing too, I was just out in the woods camping with no access to internet this weekend. But lots of access to stogies and beer!

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

MAN this would be so great, but I am boycotting the league in 2012....raise a bunch of cigars and have fun.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I'll take your action too, Coach. -(P

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I'll take that action as well Coach. Better load up on the troop sticks right off the bat.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

YTD Troop Bets

Chaase321 owe's 5 troop sticks. (Chaase321 vs. JenksAnejo 9/2/12)

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Well since we're playing each other this week, I'd be yellow if I walked away from this bet. You're on, vaquero. -(P

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Well, Gentlemen, here we go!!! :tu
Best of Luck to all of you, and Thank You for signing on for yet another year. We have an awesome group, it's going to be some serious fun. :)
God Bless!!! :tu

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Yes! Finally starting...sorry y'all, it's gonna suck when I am standing on top at the end of the year!

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I had given some thought to a "cigar for game day" pass when I was kicking this thing off, but I didn't have time to put it together before the season got going.
I'd be more than willing to seed the pass with a whole sh1t-tonne of smokes and get it on it's way if any of you guys are interested.
Simple rules, put a little more than you take, get it to the next guy immediately, no dicking around.
The whole point of this is for an awesome box of smokes to arrive at your house in time for you to pick some excellent smokes for the weekend. Think "B&M in a Box."

I will send the smokes in a travel humi in a box. It will be 100% first class. At the year's end I will pull my smokes (or not) and either leave the extra smokes to seed next year's pass or donate them to the troops.

I just want to gauge interest right now. I will lay out my ideas and rules more carefully if we have enough interest. I'd like to kick this off ASAP. I'm away from home right now and working (painfully) on an ipad at a coffee shop, so if someone would please pm our guys about this, I'd very much appreciate it. The time saved would likely allow me to get this down the road this week provided we get enough interest.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Got it taken care of Scott!

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

So, only 3 takers on my bet!!!!! Guys these are for the troops!!!! I know my team is good, but it's only week 1.


Scott I'm in on the pass.

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I will take that bet for a 5er of troop sticks:tu

Re: Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Why not? Might be able to snag a smoke or two that I've been curious about but haven't gotten my hands on yet.
