Hi All,  just joined over here after seeing the post on the monero reddit page.

I'd love to get in on this.  I will transfer my entry fee as soon as my transfer out of binance finishes.

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Heyooo! Glad to see you back around LT Smiley

Alright, so we are as of right now at 9 teams with some more in the works.. Hopefully we can maybe get 12 teams, which would be the perfect amount where people don't wind up with a 200+ point game all the gatt' damned time.

Will be updating the OP and maybe adding two-three more teams soon^tm. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit:  what does everyone think about what LT proposed... do we want to have 2 week championship?  Do we want to cut 1 week from the season?  Do we want to do nothing?

As the runner-up from last year's league, I feel compelled to avenge my loss to @jwinterm in which he brutalized me with a combination of Le'veon Bell and Todd Gurley in Week 16 of the championship match.  

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.27375053

Here is the transaction hash for my 1 XMR buy-in: 0f16a00524e9d044c580a8199e1da85dab2607bc186c0470bb4e476791688878

Regarding the discussion from earlier in the thread about removing Week 17 from the schedule, I would be in favor of keeping it so long as the championship game is a 2-week match where the scores from Week 16 and Week 17 are combined.  I think that type of a championship match helps reward a team with a strong bench and waiver wire skills.

(Full disclosure, I nearly won the league last year by virtue of playing a 17-week schedule. Despite being completely blown out in Week 16, I nearly managed to complete the comeback in Week 17 due to strong performances from my bench players.)

Also, I would be in favor of dropping the kicker for a superflex position (QB/RB/WR/TE) if anyone is up for that.

Received. Looking forward to a finals rematch  Shocked

I'm going to be paying the buy in for Spazzer and my SO, so I will be updating the OP sometime soon.  I might have one more person on board, but will have to wait a bit to make sure. 

tx: 3d0862ec8ec4ba7b2a61ecd3776ea4de9443c6608869c4d9b19416b10a99f23f

Got these two, up to 7 XMR pot now. Will be pretty sweet of we get another autumn bull run and at the end of the season this is like $5k...of course could go the other way to and some sucker is gonna "win" like forty bucks.

We might have to change the buy in though, that 25  Trillion Zimbabwean dollars is catching up!

@Phishead, Hey is your SO gonna create an account?

It's gonna be weird to talk trash @Phiheads's SO !

BTW, I registered AbbyNormal here because of my comment above just to lock it up. Smiley

Hahah, let's just put it this way... she is aware of the forum here and the thread I have created where people come to shit talk.  I'm leaving it up to her if she feels the urge to register a username and come on here to talk shit to my internet pals, if she even entertains the idea of doing that I better put a ring on i... oh wait.  Cool

Peer pressure is real. Sign me up boss.

Nice. Smiley

Hey fellow monero-ites,

I put in some actual effort in last year's draft and came in last (was it?). So, I might go the jwinterm route and autodraft this shit, lol. Can't hurt...

Cheers dudes!

I think we fought it out for last. Smiley

And you won! Tongue

Glad to see you back!  That seems to be the case, but it might be different this time sense we will probably have double the amount of people in the league from last year if two more people sign up.  We'll see Cheesy

Thank you for the invite phishead.  I'm asking around, let's get it to at least 10 teams. 

Nice, Good to see you.

I made another yahoo account and joined.

You can make another account with an email address and not have to supply a phone number for those of you like me that didn't like Verizon merging information with Yahoo.

And who is going to start for The Eagles???

Almost positive it will be Wentz, which is somewhat insane, but hey. I'm hoping to pick Wentz, have him dominate regular season, then get injured again and big dick Nick carries the birds through playoffs for repeat.

I dunno, you guys lost Torrey Smith and picked up Mike Wallace who manages to drop so many balls his QBs get fired the next year! Tongue

Checking out new yahoo frontend right now.

Here is the mock draft link.

https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/mock_lobby


Well this wasn't very good. Smiley

Mock Draft Report Card

Overall Grade : 68


Don't sweat it too much by over asserting yourself Hueristic, you make your self and your team weaker that way.  We can only to strive to be as nonchalant about picking your team like Jwinterm and just go full autodraft, that's what allowed him to win.

...

Scratch that, don't strive to be so nonchalant.  Just casually think about picking your team nonchalantly in no prepared way whatsoever...

The list of players that changed teams is huge! I don't think there's a team out there that still has the same guys in the fantasy positions slot as last year.

Quote
Player                  Previous Team               Current Team   
Kirk Cousins          Washington                 Minnesota Vikings   
Alex Smith            Kansas City Chiefs         Washington   
Tyrod Taylor          Buffalo Bills                 Cleveland Browns   
Jimmy Garoppolo   New England Patriots    San Francisco 49ers   
Sam Bradford        Minnesota Vikings        Arizona Cardinals   
Case Keenum        Minnesota Vikings        Denver Broncos   


These are just some of the QB changes. Smiley
It's a whole different league!

And who is going to start for The Eagles???

You know that is going to be Jwinterm since he always be rooting for them iggles. ... wait.... wait, I forgot that Jwinterm will just let the Yahoo rankings pick for him.  

Slow and steady doesn't win the race actually... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ wins the race.

...

And who is going to start for The Eagles???
I'm hoping to pick Wentz

May Yahoo's odds be ever in your favor Cheesy
