Fantasy Sports Leagues

[darrylduffy]

hey,

is anyone interested in setting up/being in an AST Fantasy Sports league?

i know we were able to do an NCAA Tournament one recently, but is there further interest for other sports?

this thread can be used for organizing and future setups.

thanks!

ps i'm asking specifically about football right now.

i'm in, darrylduffy

[darrylduffy]

i have a better idea. use this to suggest a good place to set up a league? (ie. espn, cbs, yahoo etc)

normally i just use yahoo. and if you want in, PM me an email address. i think yahoo will allow about 10 people? hopefully that's not too lofty a goal.

edit: aw man, sporots got changed to sports in the title.

do I have to watch football to participate?

By the way here are the results of the AST NBA Fantasy League last year

1st - Joke Account set up so we have 4 people
2nd - Famous Police Dog
3rd - Trial
4th - A guy we know who doesn't post on AST

Great work guys, see you in NOVEMBER

We tried this a few times in the past and we either don't get enough people or everyone stops paying attention.

But I'm in as long as we have a live draft.

[darrylduffy]

so far, there are potentially 4 of us in this (counting this thread, PM's, and not FPD)

i'm all for a live draft as well. just gotta figure out a time once we get a good number of players.

ok we've got a league going. 6 spots remain. NN on AST, pm me an email address so i can invite you.

I'm the Bukkake Thunderstars. Now that I'm in two leagues it will be easier to justify buying the stat tracker this year. When is the live draft?

[disl]

when an ast nba fantasy league is started, i would like to join that league.

[darrylduffy]

right now, live draft is set for tues aug 26 at 6:30 pst.

i just needed to input something and figured i'd give a week's notice. i can change it if that doesn't work, pm me or make notes in the league. it does need to happen prior to september 1st however, for us to get to play every week.

i'm already in three football leagues but i'll play in the bball one.

[darrylduffy]

our league is half full. we have 5 spaces left, i'd like to get at least one of those filled. again, PM me or email me and i'll get you in.

i have no interest in a basketball league, so someone else will have to take the lead on that.

p.s. the live draft is a week away.

[olwiggum]

You can do more than 10 people with Yahoo. We're doing a 12 person league on the My Morning Jacket board, but the draft got pretty thin later on.

[darrylduffy]

cool, our 10 spaces are filled. anyone else that wants to join would need to have a 2nd person that wants to join as well. and our draft is on tuesday.

[jesterobobman]

I'm in, though I still feel like I'm invading a bit. I post so little here.

Good luck to everybody for the upcoming season.

[darrylduffy]

if you're in our league and reading this, the live draft is in 15 minutes. see you there.

[nadsat droog]

I can't get the draft to come up on any of my computers here at work. I think it might be blocked somehow. Motherfucker.

I hope my team doesn't suck.

[JayRunner]

Great draft, so glad football is starting again. Can we talk about the NFL here, since the Sports Thread is devoted to NBA offseason, which is mostly guesses at who Ron Artest is going to stab.

[scamboogah]

Ugh, autodraft fucked me right in the butt.

I may as well rename my team, "The Oakland on the downside of their career-ders"

McNabb, Larry Johnson, Steven Jackson, Steve Smith, Pittsburgh's defense?

Anyone want to trade entire rosters? Think of the headlines!!
