I'm in!
Here's what we had in terms of buy-ins over the last three years. 2.5 mbtc works for me, but if someone wants to drop it to say 2 mbtc, i'm fine with that as well.
1.5 mBTC 2021 - $35k ($50)
2.5 mBTC 2022 - $23k ($57.5)
2.5 mBTC 2023 - $30k ($75)
2.5 mBTC 2024 - $66k ($165) ?
(avg. btc prices taken in late July/early August...when we usually pay)
Yahoo has served us well for the past two seasons, and we don't need to switch. Aside from the draft room, which feels a little cramped up, i don't find any serious issues with the website/app.
If we decide to vote on this, i recommend that everyone test Sleeper first (app and web), as it has a totally different vibe than Yahoo/ESPN. If you prefer classical layouts, Sleeper is not for you. I do a lot of mock drafts there, but i'm not sure if i want to play.

@Hueristic..sounds good and thanks for taking up commish duties again!
I will upload a video showing how sweet Sleeper is in the next few days. I know yall will love it if you give it a try.
Well it’s already an 18 week season, with 3 weeks of pre-season games (4 if you include the HOF game week). I’m pretty sure the plans are already laid for a 19 week season. Of course there’s a one week BYE for each team so that would move it from 17 to 18 weeks played by each team. They are offsetting risk and what not by decreasing preseason games. Already down to 3 from 4 & soon to be just 2 weeks. It’s inevitable (If I had kids I’d never let them play football but fuck I sure love it).
WTF man?
Calling me shit? Lol idc what platform we use long as it works. Don't use something that is overly complicated, I sucked bad enough on yahoo sports.
I think most that were in last year will probably still play this year. I'd send a pm to all and get a head count when you get the time.
Lulz, you’re the one yahoo that isn’t shit my friend.
Ahhh fack I think sleeper is app only but believe they have a desktop app. I’ll check when on pc next. Also, not overly complicated and just so much better than anything out there. I just hope they don’t sell out to a big company like ESPN because anything great turns to shit when big corp takes over.

It's hard to make it 18 games, not saying it will not happen, but there is a reason why it hasn't been done yet. We need to remember that this a contact sport, like in "football" when players get yellow/red card for hard tackles, players still get injured, here we are talking about literally contact, literally hitting each other. Same as why a fighter doesn't fight 1 0fights a year, if they could, they would.
While I do agree that I wish there were 18, hell I wish there were 30+ games like other football, I know reality that it could cause some troubles. With the way nowadays players are maxing out their human capacity because medicine, training, nutrition and many more has developed compared to the past, it still means that we are talking about maximum level we can reach for any human for the moment, and any wrong move could put someone out for weeks, if not months.
We have seen so many season ending injuries. This is why increasing the game count is a tough choice, not an easy one to make and that is why I do not really trust making it more. I believe that we need to make sure that we can keep the players healthy, playoffs are when the real fun begins anyway, regular season never interested me.

My suggestions for the league..if we could get 12 teams that woudl be fantastic, but I'm doubting it. Hopefully we can get at least 10 teams.
Getting to 10 teams should pose no problem I think, but maybe it is time to send a PM to the league members that do not visit this section of the forum too often and ask them about their participation status this year.My suggestions for the league..if we could get 12 teams that woudl be fantastic, but I'm doubting it.

I strongly suggest we move platforms and use Sleeper this coming year. It's hands down the best fantasy football app out there right now, and just keeps improving, meanwile Yahoo and ESPN continue to decline. Yahoo really turning to shit imo.

I'll check it out again and see if they fixed the issue with the stats they had last time.
If so then we can put it to a vote.
I think we've officially made it. We get to watch football in exactly one month, the Texans/Bears Hall of Fame Game (August 1). The first episode of Hard Knocks: Offseason with the New York Giants airs tomorrow, and Receiver follows the next week. Training camps begin in three weeks, it already smells like football...i can't lie i'm super pumped about the new season.
Those who finished with 5 or fewer wins last season must perform a public humiliation ritual to remain in the league.
Lol jk, anyone who is active and willing to pay the entry fee is welcome to play. Imo, a 12-team league is ideal, not too easy, not too hard, so hopefully everyone who played last season will return. As this will be our 4th season together i think we've pretty much settled on the rules, structure, and platform...we can figure out the rest within a month.

18-game regular season when? Lol
There's talks of an 18 game season and adding in an extra bye week. Not sure that it's 100% confirmed yet, but another week or 2 of football never hurt anyone. <...> Is everyone who was in last year guaranteed to be in this year? Are we adding people? Is anyone who was in last year not interested in playing this year?
I know I'm a bit early, but I'm excited to see football season almost here.

The NFL took a massive hit in the courts on Thursday, and it's one that could affect you if you've purchased the NFL's "Sunday Ticket" package. A federal judge has ordered the league to pay $4.7 billion in residential class damages, and $96 million in commercial class damages at the conclusion of what has become known as the "Sunday Ticket" case, per MMQB.

18 week season means we've got 17 weeks to work with. It never makes sense to play week 18, especially since it'll be the championships. Too many starters get sat or play a limited role in week 18. It's not a fair showing of anyone's team. I assume all are cool with this..it's pretty much a universal thing in FF.
Football season is near, makes me very excited!
Also, can we do the lottery for draft orders earlier for the participants to have more time to practice on mock drafts in their corresponding slot in the draft? Thank you.
Shouldn't be an issue, all we need is everyone that's going to play to be paid up to run the order.
Sure, I'm in. Same buy-in and # of teams is good with me.
How much will be the buy in? Will this be in the same price in dollars or in bitcoin? It will certainly be more expensive if we make the entry fee the same in bitcoin.

I was thinking if we want to do 2 this year maybe we should do an early draft one and then the normal draft after the pre season.

Not too much longer til the new season begins. Just over a month and a half until preseason begins. Is everyone who was in last year guaranteed to be in this year? Are we adding people? Is anyone who was in last year not interested in playing this year?

Last year we began to plan about the new fantasy league around this time, so I would think the time has come to do so again.I know I'm a bit early, but I'm excited to see football season almost here.
Adding more participants is a possibility, but I do not remember a single person that expressed the interest to join during the last season, so expecting more participants could be too optimistic, making me guess the league could remain the same size during this year.
Still, last year there was some interest on creating a second league and I would be interested in seeing how that turns out.

However, I speculate that similar to other relationships, boredom will start and young Bill will begin calling his management agency to find him the next available coaching job hehehehe.

Bill Belichick has a new love interest.
Belichick, the 72-year-old ex-Patriots coach, is dating 24-year-old Jordon Hudson, who was formerly a cheerleader, TMZ reported Friday.
Belichick has been linked with Hudson since shortly after he split with longtime girlfriend, Linda Holliday, according to the outlet.

One of Hudson’s former cheerleading teammates said Belichick’s love story began when they met on a flight from Boston to Florida in 2021, while he was still dating Holliday.
The two bonded over a philosophy project Hudson had been working on and exchanged contact information after landing, according to TMZ.

I am turning on my 1000 gameboy compute cluster to start creating a new player draft ranking before the preseason begins heheh. It appears that Marquise Brown will move up by more than 10 places after this news.
In any case, it also appears that Trevor Lawrence has agreed to sign on a new $275 million contract for 5 years with the Jaguars. Will this money be an inspiration for more touchdowns hehehehe.
Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs aiming to push ball downfield with new weapons in 2024
This time around, though, the Chiefs appear to have restocked enough to open things up once again. Their addition of Marquise Brown and selection of Texas speedster Xavier Worthy -- new owner of the 40-yard dash record at the NFL Scouting Combine -- have supplied Mahomes with the horses necessary to stretch the field.

Ooh, nice. Something to pass the time before the season starts back up again. Looks like the stars are:
- Justin Jefferson
- George Kittle
- Davante Adams
- Amon-Ra St. Brown
George Kittle looks like a modern day Viking... (not the team, the barbarians). A lot of players probably come from lineages of tribal warriors. Probably an abnormally high level of neanderthal DNA in them as well.
