Beer League Fantasy Football

Well, hello there!

  I was just thinking since I was the last manager, it was my duty to duplicate last years league on Yahoo.  This particular league for RR has been running for 5 years! I peaked at the FanPosts and didn't see one for FF, so here we are.. If you are interested in joining this year, the link is http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/rrbl and the password is rrbl.

  I think I will be tweaking the Playoffs situation. It has been frustrating to me that the (real) good teams going into the last 2 weeks of the season rest starters and therefore the good fantasy teams suffer with the lack of a solid quarterback for the fantasy playoffs. The last two years, the top seeded teams have lost first round games and it's been a lower seeded (7-7, 8-6) teams that have won the league. Ok, sure it's just FF, but Ash tore the league up the last two years and got knocked out in the first round, and I feel bad for her (though I probably shouldn't.) 

 Anyway, not sure what I am going to do, but I'm thinking of just nixing playoffs all together. Let me know what you think.. I'll try to stop back in a month or two to find out (just kidding..)

Star-divide

So, glad the Reds have been doing well! Sorry I haven't been around much, but work is now, well work.. I miss my RR family! Hope to see some of you in the beer league again this year.

Fabio Goes Butch is back for another shot at the title...

If a guy hits .300 every year, what does he have to look forward to? I always tried to stay around .190, with three or four RBI. And I tried to get them all in September. That way I always had something to talk about during the winter.

So does this mean I have the honor of kicking your butt this football season?

It is league 579057 if that helps.

playoffs

I think we need fewer teams in the playoffs. Say 12 teams total, 4 make playoffs and playoffs are weeks 13-14? There’s really no ideal solution. At least this way if a 4th seed wins it all they were probably a pretty good team.

Fick that: Every team should make the Playoffs

Just like the NBA

So all we need is a rebounder

bench players are still needed.
