CDL Fantasy Football 2009

19 rounds?

wow i didnt realize it was so big

you sure it isnt 16 rounds?

You think the Commissioner of the League wouldn't be sure of how many rounds the draft would be?

It's 19 rounds.

Count with me:

QB = 1
2 WR = 3
2 RB = 5
1 TE = 6
2 Flex = 8
1 K = 9
1 DEF = 10
1 IDP = 11
1 DB = 12
1 DL = 13
6 Bench = 19

The 3 individual defensive positions are the difference between the regular 16 and ours.

This is why I always strongly encourage managers in any league I run to review all settings.

I'll be wearing my Big John Henderson jersey for luck, while listening to some progressive rock/metal mix!  I almost feel like tailgating!  FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[maluze]

I'll be working tonight, but I'll most likely be able to come to the live draft (it should be a slow night).

Lets get ready to rrrr-rumble! It's been far too long without a meaningful NFL football game.

I'm sorry I haven't replied sooner. My personal computer is out of commission, so I haven't been able to get online a whole lot. I WILL be at the draft tonight, so no worries there.

43 minutes!

[dkst0426]

This is late, and I should've brought it up earlier. We can actually change it later on after the draft, but would the like league to add return yardage to the team defense category, so it makes it defense/special teams?

[dkst0426]

Less than 10 minutes to go to draft, and we have all of 5 managers present......

[Relient Fan]

I guess for not being there my team is decent.  The only problem is I have no good RBs, not good.

[cryptic99]

Looking over it, I would say Knatty and Thorns scare me the most.

[dkst0426]

I was having problems with my internet, it was really lagging, probably due to a bad storm we had here. I was like 5 minutes late and already we were in the 2nd round and 2 of my picks had been made. It automatically picked for me LaDainian Tomlinson & Steven Jackson - I don't know how to feel about that - I probably would not have made those choices but oh well...we'll see how it goes. Overall I am pretty unsatisfied with my roster, all the players that I wanted got taken and I basically just settled for what I could get. 

We actually went by at a fairly good clip, so to be in the 2nd round by the time you got in 5 minutes late was about right.

As for having LT and Jackson autopicked for you, that's a pretty solid backfield as one could have in fantasy football.

That being said, since my connection weirded out on me and by the time it refreshed the program autopicked Westbrook for me, you're welcome to him in return for one of your two RBs.

[stealthpanda]

for an autopicked team, im not gonna complain

i dont have a really solid quarterback (mcnabb at starter, which is rough with the recent michael vick news, and matt hasselbeck, who ive never really been a fan of)

but everyone else seems real solid, so we'll see what happens

[dkst0426]

Vick is suspended for at least 6 games, and given that he's been out of action for the last couple of seasons, I wouldn't worry if I was Donovan McNabb or a Donovan McNabb owner in fantasy football. And with Burleson healthy and the addition of Houshmandzadeh, I have a sneaky suspicion that Hasselbeck will rebound and have a good year.

[maluze]

some of you may have noticed that i was conspicously absent during the first two rounds. I was in the drafting area at 7:50pm, but I could not type anything into the chat box becuase the lower part was cut off form the screen..so I downloaded the video driver from Asus, then after installing it told me to reboot (at 7:55pm). I rebooted, then tried to enter the draft room around 7:57. The progress bar would go to 80%, then it would get stuck. I tried to get in for around 10 minutes, to no avail..eventually I got in, but the lower portion of the screen was still cut off..It apparently isn't optimized for 1024x600 netbook displays lol.

I can't say I'm disappointed with my team, I've got three top running backs, two top tier QBs, and two of the best defenses in the league last year. But this ain't last year. I just hope that Willie Parker doesn't get injured again and that Jeremy Maclin provides a much needed spark in the Eagles' special teams and offense.

[dkst0426]

maluze, you want your boy Westy? I think I traded him to you last year too, didn't I?

[maluze]

I'm torn on him at this point. He's coming off an off-season knee surgery, and while he has shown that he isn't limping in practice..i don't know. still too much of a gamble for me at this point.

[dkst0426]

Well, if you're interested, I'm eyeing White.

[cryptic99]

Anyone want to offer another RB for LenDale White?  Possible bye week prob for me.

Proposal sent - upgrade at RB for you, potential WR upgrade for me packaged in. Just for fun, consider that any injury concerns you might have about who's offered from my end are balanced by the injury concerns on the player I've asked for in return.

thinking about counter trade

[Thorns]

Hmm, I can make a pretty good guess at 2 of the players involved in that one,

So were you or were you not still interested in dealing? I got the notification that it wasn't even a rejection, but the trade offer had expired due to lack of response. Please let me know somehow, as I'd appreciate the courtesy. Thanks.

Ya, sorry.  I didnt want to trade my top WR, and just forgot to hit the reject button.

And I wasn't sure, because your response of mulling a counter-proposal made me think you were just sitting on it. I prefer to get trade proposals done with as quickly as possible, that was why I asked.

Don't forget to set your lineups before kickoff on Thursday if you plan on using any Steelers or Titans players.

Who's Big_show? He has a couple of gaps in his lineup for Week 1.
