Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops

[JenksAnejo]

Just an idea, but what if we had a clause that holds teams responsible for staying active. Say if you go inactive for a while during the season then you are required to donate 10 extra troop smokes. Wanted to throw this out in the open to see what everyone thinks.

we are full brothers! Hopefully this will be a great league.

So, in the spirit who wants to bet me a 5'er for the troops that Yahoo! will allow me to pick ahead of them in the 1st round? (BTW...The draft order will be randomly determined approximately 30 minutes before the draft begins...from our league's homepage) therefore this has to be completed at least 1 day prior to the draft (by this Friday)

Only going to do this once...so who wants to try and draw first blood?

Gentlemen, since the draft is tomorrow and the league can't generate with an odd number of teams, I'll go ahead and remove myself from the league. Probably for the best (both personally and for the league), since I haven't had any free time whatsoever to prepare for the draft tomorrow evening. Best of luck to everyone this season and be sure to generate lots of smokes for the troops!

Draft prep is overrated, we can get one more...hang in there.

Ah, don't quit yet, I put a feeler out in the other CA FF league thread because that is not gaining enough interest either.

It's not a bad idea, but it'd be real hard, if not impossible, to implement. Life happens, too. We don't want to get into the business of punishing and trying to figure out why guys aren't playing. We sure don't want any hard feelings over this stuff.
I think the bottom line is that there's guys that are really hard core about Fantasy Football, football in general, and enjoy the week to week betting. Most guys aren't. We're looking for a handful of guys who live, eat, sleep, and breathe this stuff. If guys are honest with themselves when they sign on, it isn't a problem.
We haven't had trouble finding guys that fit that profile and we only need one or two more to fill out the league. It won't be a problem. If for some crazy reason it is, I'd rather go with 8 guys than 10.

I'm trying to be very proactive this year to make sure we don't have any trouble. Fortunately it's been very easy, we've got an awesome group of guys!!!

If there is onemore spot, I would like to play!!!!
