Around SBN: Nevin Shapiro Vows To Bring Down Miami

2010 Red Reporter Survival League



It seems like there is less going on in terms of Fantasy Football on Red Reporter than in previous years.  However, I have always enjoyed the knockout leagues when we've done them.  That's why I have created a new league! 

The first NFL game actually starts tonight, and I'd like to get as many people as possible to join up & make their picks by then.  I'm not sure when Yahoo will stop letting you join, but you don't have to have your 1st pick in until 1:00 Sunday.  (Unless, of course, you want to pick either the Vikings or Saints.)

 

Click Here to join the 2010 Red Reporter Survival League.  The league ID is 27147 and the password is slydecheated.

Star-divide

Also, we have the option of playing the Yahoo Pick 'em game.  It looks like in that game we pick every game & assign confidence points to each pick.  I think we have done this in the past, and I remember enjoying it.  If there is interest in a Pick 'Em league, let me know & I will create one by this afternoon.  That should still give plenty of time for people to get in their picks!  Please post any suggestions for these 2 leagues in the comments.

 

Update:  JCH expressed interest so I created the Pickem league as well.

I think we should do a 2010 Red Reporter Picnic League

where we go for Sunday picnics. Sharon Woods, Hyde Park, Spring Grove, etc. It will be great fun!

That seems like a rough commute for you!

I probably wouldn’t take part in it, but I’m sure someone could live-tweet it for me. It’d be just like I was there!

I do enjoy autumn camping, however.

I've liked camping the few times I've gone.

And autumn is my favorite season.

Hey bestie, we should go autumn camping!

YAAAAAY!

Excellent idea, since jch got me (us) banned from our usual outing.

hey boobs

you still enjoying all those fruit roll ups, or did you finish them off already?

by Charlie Scrabbles on Sep 10, 2010 1:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

Last year, I just played "pick them" for the first time

not in a pool or anything, just kept track for myself. It was surprisingly fun, so I’m excited to see how this goes.

by thevole on Sep 9, 2010 10:52 AM EDT reply actions  

In knockout, I picked Arizona

In “pick them,” I picked:

Minnesota at New Orleans
Miami at Buffalo
Detroit at Chicago
Oakland at Tennessee
Cincinnati at New England
Carolina at NY Giants
Atlanta at Pittsburgh
Cleveland at Tampa Bay
Denver at Jacksonville
Indianapolis at Houston
Arizona at St. Louis
Green Bay at Philadelphia
San Francisco at Seattle
Dallas at Washington
Baltimore at NY Jets
San Diego at Kansas City

Apparently, I think that homefield advantage means absolutely nothing and there will be some sort of record for away teams winning this week.

by thevole on Sep 9, 2010 11:08 AM EDT up reply actions  

but they're not good picks!

And so what if they do? they win or lose the same way I do, I’m hardly a scholar to be copying picks from. It’d be smarter to steal the picks from, like, ESPN or something.

by thevole on Sep 9, 2010 11:19 AM EDT up reply actions  

you are probably right

i’m not taking arizona this week.

although I do think that’s a pretty good pick.

by 'tHan on Sep 9, 2010 11:21 AM EDT up reply actions  

thanks

it’s the first week so it’s really tough to gauge who’s legit and who just looks good on paper.

Me? I don’t get the paper, so I have no clue.

by thevole on Sep 9, 2010 11:26 AM EDT up reply actions  

I won't

Because there are some awful picks in there

One of mine is pure truth.

The other is just there to annoy jch. :)

I'm all signed in, picked, and sweating.

I just hope all of my annual bad fantasy luck happens in one of these leagues given the $$ I’ve laid out for my other league.

Oh, and screw all your picks. I’m winning, get over it.

Set the gearshift to the high gear of your soul.

Oh. Drat.

I was hoping i’d have a chance to win. Should I just close my account, then?

I put up a fanpost for anyone interested in fantasy football last minute, so let me know if you want in.
