    My team name wouldn't make any sense if I traded Favre though That's more important to me than winning any games at this point

    • 55pts for 18pts. That is a steal. You will never win with Favre, he will not put up the points needed for a staring quarterback in this league. This trade gives you a modicum of a chance.

      • 2-0! Win another close one with 151 points.

        Looks like I'm the one seed.

          No thanks...


          well, MRT, looks like Gore is now my leading scorer after posting up 32 points tonight Cleveland D is number 2.

          40% of my fantasy points this week came from Gore alone and 56% came from Gore and Cleveland D

          Oh well. I'm 1-1 at least. I won't go winless and can say I beat Imran

          • Oh and I changed the name of my team in another league (not the D/ST) where I have Crabtree and Vernon Davis to... VD and Crabs

            Just wanted to share that one

              • I just wish Crabtree was more starter-worthy so I could have him and Davis starting for an extra punch to the joke

                  This is why I don't like 99% of all FFL. If you score 151 points in football, the game is NOT close. Most football games have around 45 points scored total. Yes its called fantasy football for a reason, but all games shoot for some level of realism.

                  • I don't think anyone actually believes that FF "shoots for realism." Well over half the points are basically unrelated to TDs, FGs and PATs.

                    There are non-yardage leagues out there, but the randomness factor is so high that few people enjoy them.

                      I disagree. If you accept that the game is purely a derivative of statistics then realism never enters into your head.

                          I've removed the +/- system. The Luck Chart Winning% vs the Actual Winning % should be enough.

                          • In a league I'm in, I would like to share these transactions that occurred just before kick off all by a single guy in the league:

                            CK dropped Jason Snelling, Atl to FA
                            CK added Javon Ringer, Ten from FA to BE
                            CK dropped Derrick Mason, Bal to FA
                            CK added Devin Aromashodu, Chi from FA to BE
                            CK dropped Dustin Keller, NYJ to FA
                            CK added Brandon Lloyd, Den from FA to BE

                            He dropped Jason Snelling (186 yards 3 TDs), Dustin Keller (115 yards 1 TD), and Derrick Mason (31 yard 1 TD) for Javon Ringer (1 yard), Devin Aromashodu (0 yards), and Brandon Lloyd (53 yards)... 332 yards and 5 TD's dropped so he could bring on 54 total yards and no TDs from the waiver wire

                            can you make worse decisions?
