No Idiots Allowed Fantasy League

[BYH 2: Electric Boogaloo]

fork off Bubs I was in a playoff spot all year! Which is what would have made a collapse yesterday especially frustrating.

I know this thread hasn't been visited regularly in a while but but since both owners are still on the board I figured I'd post this here...props to @Cosmo for nearly pulling off the most stunning comeback in fantasy sports history. I led 10-0 going into the final day of our NIAFL semi and he roared back and tied it 5-5. My team hit .122 (fork, I could hit .122) w/a .401 OPS while he hit .362/.968. I backed into the title game by virtue of the higher seed tiebreaker and avoided the greatest collapse since the '07 Mets by virtue of also tying Cosmo in homers and saves. One more for him in either category (or one less for me) and I'd be Willie Randolph, a doomed manager watching the clock until he got fired in the middle of the night in California.

My "reward" for surviving such a choke job? A championship match against the savant @Guy_Incognito. That's not very sporting of the fates! Good luck to Guy and thanks again to Cosmo for the high-stress Sunday!

Wow, I missed all the drama. I was neck and neck with the Hots all week and didn't know who won until last night (Yom Kippur). This savant finished 20+ games behind you, in 10th place in the other SJ league (I wish I could say I stopped paying attention. The Alvarez injury hit me pretty hard too), and put all my eggs in the Justin Fields basket in our FB league. Good luck this week. I would say "May the better team win," but I wouldn't mean it. Instead of Randolph, let's aim for you as Brady against the Giants.

Glad to see you forkers still going.

Keep on rocking in the free world, or whatever it comes to.

But remember, beat The Hots, no matter what!

Microphone check, 1, 2, what is this?

 

[Oz]

It's official: I've relinquished my powers as baseball commish.

 

[Guy_Incognito]

Thanks Oz. Can I ashume that everyone is back? Remind me, is there a traditional draft time? Weeknight?

 

[Oz]

You know I'm there.

 

[Oz]

As for draft times, it's mainly, when can most people take time to do it, IIRC. Not sure there's any set traditional time, per se.

 

[Guy_Incognito]

Reminder - we're 5 days away.

I threw out 2 possible rule changes and asked if anyone has thoughts or other changes they want. Now that it's closer, I'll ask again:
- We have a 8/8 trade deadline, but with no keepers, I'm not sure why it needs to be so early.
- We have a minimum IP per week of 20, which seems low to me but worked OK in the past.

What do you think?

 

[BYH 2: Electric Boogaloo]

I think I'd be happy to have a season like I had last year, where I was doing great until I ran into the Guy buzzsaw in the title game.

 

[Guy_Incognito]

2 hour warning / reminder. See you soon.

That Yahoo! sound effect during drafts brings happiness.
