Note to the commish: Jason is going to leave us this year. His hands were not cold and dead, but I did have to pry the Iron Thrown from them. I will deliver the traveling trophy at next year's Con (pending my getting a badge of course).

That's too bad, he was a really tough competitor :(  I am still tickled about the idea of a pastor being a complete fantasy football bada$$.

We just got back from Iceland late last night so still unpacking, recovering and catching up with work. We had planned to switch from yahoo to espn so I will work on getting that set up and will post about possible draft times.

So what you're saying is there is a spot open in the FoCC league. Shotgun!

Mark has just returned from a family trip to Iceland. He indicated that we were probably switching to ESPN, which I would wholeheartedly support. He made it sound as if there is room for new members and that he needs just a day or two to pull things together. As you well know dcuodust, mark is an excellent commissioner and will follow through. Never fear. All will be well.

I can't speak for Mark. There will always be some varying opinions, but many find ESPN easier to use, and there are lots of interesting information options and advice columns. Many commissioners find it a good option for leagues with team owners of a variety of levels of experience.

I can't speak for Mark, and whatever he does, I'm fine with it. That being said, I find ESPN to be a better system, especially when being a commish and drafting. (Mickeyjack3 pretty much explained why I like it more.) Their app is also better. Of course ESPN is not perfect, no ff site is. Overall, it's personal preference. I used ESPN before many times and had no issues to speak of.

We'll use ESPN this year, depending on the final tally there will be two 10-team or 2 12-team leagues. For fun and bragging, no dues at all. There will be a little prize for the overall winner and the other top 2 finishers from each league. Plus something for last place. And [member=3906]dcuodust[/member] puts together these great little gift bags and bookmarks to hand out during SDCC. I'll post pics of last year's prizes later.

First game this year is September 7th, so thinking sometime during the 2 prior weekends for the draft. I will ask for preferences of course, we usually have a fair number of people that auto-draft, never seems to hurt them.

Regarding the switch to ESPN, this was my thought after the yahoo security issues reported last year. I know a lot of people that like ESPN FF as well. Hopefully it'll be pretty similar.

Actually, I am in a work meeting right now, and drinking coffee, and growing a beard, plus scratching said beard since it's itchy. Not to mention thinking of an animal to use for one of the league names, I'm keeping the Otters of course, figure the other league should get an animal too :)

Badgers it is! :)

I think I got everyone who wanted to join, and we still have one spot open. If I have to I will assign a team to my daughter but I would rather not, it's just not fair to everyone else.

Scoring and roster settings will be exactly the same in each league, (I haven't set these up yet so most things will be ESPN defaults.) The overall winner will be whoever gets the highest score in the two league finals. It looks like I will need to send individual invites, will get started on that in a bit.

Invites have gone out for the both leagues through forum messaging. It's a unique link per invite so if you get some kind of error I may have copied it wrong.

I will work on settings and what not tomorrow. There was a general consensus last year to introduce some PPR, I'll probably do a fraction of a point. Otherwise the scoring and roster slots will be similar to last year. I've already got rid of multiple divisions within each league and am thinking we can once again have top 6 make the playoffs for a 3 week playoff period.

Feel free to chime in with suggestions or questions.

If possible, add the IR slot. It's nice to have if one of your players are missing a few weeks, but you don't have to worry about dropping him. You don't lose a slot by keeping that hurt player. Still say lose the TE slot, but that's not a big deal in my book. As for PPR, what you have now, 1 is fine. If you go lower, stopping at .4 is good. Oh, if the kicker misses a FG, since the kicking game was meh last year in the NFL (especially in the extra point department), it may be best if that penalty is off. Other than that, that's it.

Yeah, I somehow managed to mess it up. What I did was send all of the invites to my email, then I sent the links separately to everyone. Somehow, a few worked but the rest give that error. If you can message me an email address to use I can send the invite directly, otherwise I will gradually generate new links. I think that when I generate a new link it may invalidate some of the ones I previously sent so I'll drag it out I guess.

ESPN doesn't seem to have a generic invite url like yahoo did, at least not for this type of league.

I'll send you a PM, Most of the original links I sent are not working. Unfortunately the invite system is built around email addresses, what I did to get the links was to enter my email address for all of the teams, but this rendered most of them invalid.  If anyone is ok sending me the email address they want to use through PM then I can send you a new invite directly. Otherwise what I have been doing is using several of my own addresses to make a new link, those have been working but I have to do it gradually since I can only do one invite per email.

I will send out a list of dates/times to each league (most liekly it will be an evening in the next 2 weekends) and try to see what works  the most people. Still waiting on some people to sign up, worst case I will assign the remaining teams to myself, autodraft them and then transfer them to the owners asap.

Also, it turns out we have one extra slot in case anyone is interested.

League settings are all done, I tried to keep them as similar as possible to previous years, but espn is more restrictive than yahoo in some areas so I had to settle for getting close. (I'll check them again before things start in case I made some mistakes.)  The main changes from last year are an the 0.5 PPR and an IR spot on the roster. Let me know if you have questions or suggestions. In previous year's the settings have worked pretty well, including some extremely close matchups.

Still waiting on some people to join up, the Otter league is mostly done there but we still have that one open spot for a team. The Badgers still need 3 folks to sign up I think.

Who's ready for kickoff? Some draft planning info at the bottom, FYI.

(https://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwhodeyfans.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2011%2F08%2Fcharlie-brown.jpg&hash=9456473937bcb0f1e7946ff28d681a3a8b8dee17)

Otter league is in good shape. Still one slot open which my daughter will take if necessary. Someone is welcome to take it over before we start or even afterwards, in fact given my daughter's absurd Luck stat this is an excellent strategy.

With the Badgers, still need [member=3906]dcuodust[/member] [member=414]karatekid[/member] and [member=2988]shavri[/member] to sign up. Let me know if you need any help or are running into problems, make certain to look for the most recent invite that I send via forum pm.  If need be I will autodraft these teams and keep them warm for you. Ok that sounded weird ...

As motivation, here are last year's prize photos! I had decided that Funkos would make for good prizes, we like them, there are plenty of them out there and they keep making more. So it's only natural that I broke that rule right away, our grand champion [member=2835]straightline3[/member] chose Otter Pops as his theme and that is apparently one of the few things the Funko has not gotten around to. However Hot Wheels has so he gets one of those. When I eventually get the Funko Iron Throne to him it should fit nicely.

Here's a fun story, before SDCC he called up the Otter Pops company to try and buy a t-shirt he could wear, they told him they didn't sell any but when he explained he wanted it for Comic-con they sent him one for free. This is bold and resourceful and is what the rest of us are up against this year.

For the other top prizes, [member=2125]mickeyjack3[/member] 's friend Jason, who was our winner 2 years ago and again won his league last year gets this nice Dr. Emmet Brown pop. [member=414]karatekid[/member] was 2nd in that league and will get this "Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Vegeta" pop which I don't really understand but seemed appropriate given his forum name. My daughter Emily was 2nd in the Otter league and gets Donkey from Shrek (she was in the Shrek Jr. musical this year and that was who she played.)

(https://comiccondad.files.wordpress.com/2017/07/20170716_160201.jpg)

[member=13]Carlo[/member] was our last place winner, and was supposed to get something entirely different. Vernon Davis has an art gallery and I had gotten a print of a painting he did, since the gallery is a charity this counted as a charitable donation so I had this whole dry, tongue-in-cheek delivery planed for it. But then when I remember I needed to bring it the morning we left for SDCC I could not find it, (still can't.) So I made my wife stop at Walgreen's on the way to the airport so I could buy him the coolest Funko they had. So there it is, a Star Wars Legends Shadow Guard, the finest that Walgreens Store #11261 had to offer.

[member=2226]Mel[/member] got an Eli Manning pop, this was because I made a silly pledge to do so after he helped me win my match against her last season. (I actually pledged a plush doll but hey, maybe I decided to keep that for myself.) Also, it was suggested that I give [member=1]alyssa[/member] a prize for bravery so she got this Hello Kitty Kiss Funko that I randomly found at a flea market in New Mexico. It's a little beat up, but still in better shape than Gene Simmons. I still can't quite believe that this kind of Funko exists.

Thanks to everyone who has signed up! I am already seeing some great team names. (In case anyone is wondering who Raymond Cooke is, Raymond is my first name but I go by Mark. In the Otter league that team will be managed by my son.)

We need to draft, it's late but I think that's a good thing this year. I had a league that drafted last week and I ended up with Edelman. I figured this weekend was out with the big fight and GoT tonight (!!!) but please let me know if there are days/times that you like, or don't like from Wednesday 8/30 to Sunday 9/3. Also let me know if you are ok with autodrafting, and we'll try to accomodate as many folks as we can. You can post here or send me a PM.

I am ok with any day from the 30- to the 3rd. my only request is that whatever time is chosen is respectful of those of us on the east coast. i.e. not too late - my bed time can be early- LOL- i've been know to crash at 7 or 8pm /hides head/ i know that my not be possible but.... ;)

The only date you listed that is bad for me would be Aug. 31. Busy that day, but before that date and after it, I'm fine with it. The weekend for sure be good for me. Time? The afternoon probably be the best, too.

I'll be at the padres/dodgers game on the 2nd at noon so I won't be able to do that afternoon. Other than that I'm good that weekend.

Based on California times, and assuming it's going to be relatively early to accommodate the East Coasters:

- Wed 8/30: I have another draft at 6pm. Could make it work if it needs to be this night, but would rather not.
- Thu 8/31 and Fri 9/1: No after-work conflicts as of now.
- Sat 9/2: Conflict in the afternoon, but will hold the evening.
- Sun 9/3 and Mon 9/4 (I realize Labor Day wasn't within the range): Calendar is currently a blank slate.
- I can sneak in drafting while at work if the best time ends up being at or before 5-6pm on Wed/Thu/Fri.

I definitely prefer not to autodraft; worst case, I'll definitely be THAT guy drafting on their phone while at a social function. People will understand, right?

These drafts are normally over within an hour, especially when many people auto-draft. I don't think anyone needs too big of a block and in my experience, auto-draft usually does better than I do myself!

Don't worry, we'll try. Now if this was a family league ... (I've been known to have my aunt call my nephew right when it's his turn to pick  >:D )

I drafted during a wedding once, in my defense it wasn't my own.

*******************************

Alright, draft obviously not happening today :) based on feedback so far I am proposing:

Friday at 5:30 pacific/8:30 eastern for the Badgers. Hopefully it's not too late for the Eastcoasters.

Saturday at 2:00 pacific/5:00 eastern for the Otters

Quick recommendation that everyone try a mock draft on espn if they have not already. I just tried one and it turns out my new work laptop does not support adobe flash, ack. If you are autopicking, in addition to pre-draft ranking ESPN also has an 'autopick strategy' thing which is kind of cool.

Thank you Carlo! That would have been really awkward. Hopefully I've changed it now but you were right, the dialog for setting the draft didn't indicate a time zone so I assumed it was Pacific, my bad for forgetting about Bristol, CT.

Good luck tonight and tomorrow ya'll! As the immortal Ric Flair said "Wooooooooo!!!"

Just realized I forgot to solicit bribes for good draft spots, I guess we'll just have to go random, AGAIN. (Draft order should be up an hour before draft.)

There are a number of new players with names that could make great puns, but they are players I want so I am not going to tip anyone off.

Draft went fast! The addition of the 0.5 ppr surprised some people who had missed the earlier discussion. Other than the addition of an IR spot the other changes were pretty minor, and due to differences in what espn allows versus yahoo, there's a summary some ways back in this thread.

Still room for one more in the Otter league, let me know if you're interested.

It's kind of a long running family joke. My daughter is notoriously lucky, and my son is the opposite. Little things, like his food always comes last at the restaurants and he never gets a top draft pick. This just feeds into the narrative.

I kind of feel that this year, even more than usual, is going to be won on the waiver wire.

Think that's pretty normal. It'll also pick up a DST and kicker earlier than some might like unless you change the settings.

That's normal. Bye weeks aren't taken into account for picks by the computer.

Auto pick will do it for you, but it might do it earlier or later than you would like. There is a drop down menu for D/ST.

Otter draft is done! A few more network/flash hiccups than the other draft but overall ok I think. My son did not draft a backup QB and I am so proud.

Players that didn't get drafted are on waivers until Sunday AM for the Badgers and Monday AM for the Otters.

yeah, i remembered to use the WWJD (what would [member=1233]jopari[/member] do) & figured it out /LOL/ i.e. googled it ;)

I have to say despite th flash crashing & having difficulties with a few glitches- the espn draft platform/tool/app is really interesting & suited to the novice user but with enough depth.

wait so 'on waivers' means we can swap players around until monday (otters)? Or is it the other way around? we have to hold off?

This is the default setting described above. All un-owned players are put on waivers Immediately following your draft, each week from the start of the first game until a few hours past the end of the last and when dropped from another team. When the waiver period expires (usually around 3 am EST) all of the claims from that period will be processed based on the waiver order. If you'd like to know more about how to claim a player off of waivers or how waiver order is determined just head to those specific FAQs.

there i go answering my own questions again. NM
Title: Re: FoCC Fantasy Football league 2017
Post by: mark on September 02, 2017, 03:42:19 PM
While they're on waivers you can put in claims, then when the waiver period is over those claims get compared to any other claims made and then processed by your priority. Right now your priority will be the reverse of the draft order, and after every successful claim you will go to the back of the line. It should work pretty much the same as last year.

Once the players move out of waivers then you can add them without affecting your waiver priority, so it's a bit of a game.

I do like the ESPN settings that allow you to set up an autopick strategy of sorts, but it seems like to really make use of them you would need to know your place in the draft earlier. Maybe a change for next year is to use a randomizer to determine the draft order a week or so in advance, especially since we tend to have a fair number of people who autopick.

There's some truth to that, there's been some distance between parts of my extended family lately, mainly due to politics, but I know they'll still be getting together on Sundays to watch the games, and hopefully they'll eventually start connecting more on other things too.

Also, I should mention that I was doing some long-delayed spring cleaning today and I found @Carlos 's prize for last year that I had meant to give him.  :(

i know there's going to be pressure on me to work on a campaign next cycle (I do data management). If i move out of state before the next political season i won't have to volunteer. this is appealing.

but yes, the season starts next weekend !! woo hoo!!

Here are the league links if anybody needs. Still have a team available for someone to take over, just let me know.

Badgers:   http://games.espn.com/ffl/leagueoffice?leagueId=1090704&seasonId=2017 (http://games.espn.com/ffl/leagueoffice?leagueId=1090704&seasonId=2017)

Otters:   http://games.espn.com/ffl/leagueoffice?leagueId=1081282&seasonId=2017 (http://games.espn.com/ffl/leagueoffice?leagueId=1081282&seasonId=2017)

Also, very important note, Tampa Bay versus Miami has been moved to week 11, so they will be on bye this week.

ESPN requires you to click a submit button when you make roster changes, that messed me up at first.

Will we do the wacky recaps this year? Yep, we'll do some. I won't get to it every week, work may be so crazy that I won't have time. Or work will be so crazy that I really need the distraction. If you have any ideas for themes post them here or send me a note. If anyone else wants to write some that would be awesome, (you won't find a more supportive place to write something weird :) )

Roster changes made by my kid do not necessarily represent the views of management.

Good luck in week 1!

I just heard from shavri and unfortunately she is not going to participate this year, so there is an additional team for someone to take over if they wish. shavri came in 2nd place two years ago so there's some good mojo there as well.

In the meantime I will change the name (at some point) to something suitably robotic and manage it according to these rules: (0) autodraft (1) roster is made according to espn rankings. (2) any player drops/adds needed due to injuries or bye weeks will be done according to % owned.

It might be a fun project to build an AI based ff program, the data feeds could be a pain though.

Yeah, probably black friday or wait a bit more for the Superbowl sales. I haven't been keeping up with the new tv tech much but I'm thinking maybe dlp due to our setup, We have large great room and the tv has to go in the corner, so angle viewing is an issue.

I'll send you an invite for shavri's team, the only player for today on her roster is Gillislee who doesn't make sense to play given the other RBs. (Now watch him score 4 touchdowns.)

UPDATE: Already one TD for Gillislee :(

UPDATE 2: Only 3 TDs for Gillislee, so I WAS wrong.

Also, I am a borderline Chiefs fan, but I am a long time Alex Smith fan so it was nice to see him have such a huge game. Unfortunately I, like the rest of humanity, did not start him in any of my leagues. I also miss Andy Reid's mustache, it's just a shadow now.

Kareem Hunt's primetime debut was intriguing, a fumble on his first play and then a massive game. Would have been even more so if he had just had 2 more receiving yards. To those who (a) drafted Hunt, and to those who (b) drafted Brady or Gronk, I am (a) jealous and (b) sympathetic but in both cases I expect things to normalize over the course of the season. I feel sorry for the Saints next week.

Lots of massive DST scores this week, every year I think the start of the season is the craziest ever, this year I might be right.  Alex Smith is one of the hottest adds right now.

WEEK 1 RECAP .... sort of

Week one? More like "weak one" for some of us, amirite?

Apologies for that and for anything else that follows. I am at the end of a string of 20ish hour work days so I'm running on fumes and chocolatecoveredespressobeans. (Yes, for me right now that is one word, one beautiful crunchy word.)

So just a normal sort of recap, besides we are in a world where Styx released a song celebrating a spacecraft that is going to purposely crash into Saturn, Bob Ross is getting a whole new line of Funko pops, and Alex Smith was the top scoring fantasy qb  in week 1. I can't compete with that.

Speaking of things I can't compete with, [member=3450]Cut That Meat[/member] filleted me handily, partly due to an imbalance in the performances of our titular players. [member=1233]jopari[/member] suffered a horrible game by Andy Dalton and lost to [member=2226]Mel[/member].I.Am. I was going to say something clever about hos team but that Zoolander (magnum!) gif is hurting my eyes. 

[member=13]Carlo[/member] rode out a disappointing performance by Brady to win over [member=5427]jclemy[/member] , who also got hit by that Chiefs upset.  [member=2226]Mel[/member] and [member=414]karatekid[/member] also had some disappointing performances from their players, but McCoy came through for Mel.

Getting to the more extreme results in the Badgers, [member=1]alyssa[/member] had a great week with a team she took over hours before the week started, beating [member=3545]sassafrass[/member] but losing David Johnson for the time being.  [member=2125]mickeyjack3[/member] had the highest score in the Badgers to win over [member=3906]dcuodust[/member] , at this rate the badger may become mickeyjack3's favorite animal.

The 2 highest scores overall were in the otters, and by a cruel twist of fate they were in the same matchup. [member=2389]Mario Wario[/member] 's massive score of 148 was eclipsed by [member=2835]straightline3[/member] 's slightly more massive 153.5.  Mario Wario also got hit with the David Johnson injury, those points will pay off later in the standings though.

Gavin had a respectable win over emc. With Sam Bradford, why not? The otters also had a couple of really close matchups, [member=4351]corgikohmander[/member] eked by [member=846]rando[/member] by just 0.2 points, and [member=819]brand4d2[/member] was just 2.8 over otteralyssa. Amazing score by the Jaguars DST over Houston.

It was felis over canis in [member=5732]superkatchick[/member] and [member=5544]Deathbyjackal[/member] 's match. [member=5606]tsnyder[/member] over [member=412]tk415650[/member] rounds out the otters, I have a lot of those players in another league I'm in so I feel you're collective pain.

So many weird scores to start the season. Some key injuries but also a number of really interesting new players, going to be a busy waiver wire this year. Good luck to everyone in week 2, I'm pretty certain that half of us will win and the other half lose but other than that, 🍺¯\_(ツ)_/¯🍺?

Almost forgot! SPECIAL PRIZE ALERT for mickeyjack3 for making it on tv during MNF!

I though about pairing up what actually happened with last week's expert rankings but never got to it. Houston really shocked me, and the Eagles in the other direction.

I haven't seen a replay of the game, but a friend from Cleveland that I haven't talked to for over a year texted me during the game asking me if I was there because he had just seen me on the screen in a shot of the crowd celebrating. I wouldn't have mentioned it except for Mark's pregame clairvoyant prediction.

A lot of people have been asking for more math in the recaps, well not asking so much as not asking for no math. Does that make sense? I might need some logic practice, so how about a

_____________________________________________________________________________

WEEK 2 RECAP - LOGIC PUZZLE EDITION!!!

_____________________________________________________________________________

ESPN has been so impressed with our league that they will be putting us up in condos for SDCC! There are two separate buildings, the Badger building and the Otter building of course. Each building has six units with separate upstairs and downstairs living areas, and the people who won in week 2 will live upstairs from their opponents. alyssa has a room in each building, one to live in and one for her "secret lab" (like we don't all know.) ESPN needed to know everyone's favorite player for some reason, and needed the info right away, so I just picked a player from everyone's roster who scored well in week 2.

But then I lost the details! And all I have are our names, the list of favorite players and these cryptic notes that I jotted down for no apparent reason. Can you help figure out who will be paired with whom? Time is of the essence!

The people are:
[member=1]alyssa[/member] [member=819]brand4d2[/member] [member=13]Carlo[/member] [member=4351]corgikohmander[/member] [member=3450]Cut That Meat[/member] [member=3906]dcuodust[/member] [member=5544]Deathbyjackal[/member] emc Gavin [member=5427]jclemy[/member] [member=1233]jopari[/member] [member=414]karatekid[/member] [member=2389]Mario Wario[/member] [member=4270]mark[/member] [member=2226]Mel[/member] [member=2143]Mel.I.Am[/member] [member=2125]mickeyjack3[/member]  [member=846]rando[/member] [member=3545]sassafrass[/member] [member=2835]straightline3[/member]  [member=5732]superkatchick[/member] [member=412]tk415650[/member]  [member=5606]tsnyder[/member]

The favorite players are:
Alex Smith, Alshon Jeffrey, Carlos Hyde, Chris Boswell, Chris Thompson, CJ Anderson, Davante Adams, Denver, Derek Carr, Drew Brees, Emmanuel Sanders, Jay Ajayi, Julio Jones, Kareem Hunt, Matt Ryan, Mike Evans, Phillip Rivers, Rob Gronkowski, Russell Wilson, Tampa Bay, Todd Gurley, Tom Brady, Travis Kelce, Ty Montgomery

And here are the clues, man I really need to lay off of the chocolate covered espresso beans EDIT: I apparently need a few more, I made two mistakes :(

The person who likes Tampa Bay is a Badger
straightline3 lives over the person who likes Matt Ryan
Only one person in each building likes a tight end, and only one likes a DST
tsnyder gets a kick out of Chris Boswell
The person who likes Travis Kelce lives under a person who likes a RB
alyssa has a poster of Emmanuel Sanders, but only in her Otter room
Gavin likes the view from his upstairs room and would only ever like a player with a "G" in the name
Carlo's favorite player likes to throw to the favorite player of the person downstairs
sassafrass lives over Mel.I.Am, both like QBs
Deathbyjackal likes Ajayi but wished he was a valid Scrabble word
corgikohmander is the only person in his building who likes a QB and lives on the top floor
The favorite players have the same number of characters in their name in only one unit
mickeyjack3 likes Kareem Hunt, but not being a Badger
The only Otters that like wide receivers live on the top floor
The only Badgers that like wide receivers live on the bottom floor
Emc lives in the Otter building, next door to a person who likes a tight end
Neither DST fan is paired with an RB fan
brand4d2 likes the Broncos
A Badger likes Gronkowski
All but one of the Badgers that like QBs live on the top floor
rando bugs Mario Wario by dancing overhead whenever Ty Montgomery makes a TD
mark has a man crush on C.J. Anderson
Only one downstairs Badger likes an RB
karatekid and Mel live downstairs in the same building and like wide receivers whose last names start with J
jopari lives in a top floor room decorated with Tampa Bay Buccaneer wallpaper
dcuodust lives downstairs from the person who likes Tom Brady
superkatchick and Deathbyjackal are the only downstairs Otters who like RBs
Alex Smith's biggest fan lives above a person who likes a DST
Emc likes an Atlanta Falcons player
The person who likes Russell Wilson is an Otter
All the people who like kickers live upstairs
tk415650's favorite player is a QB
The only place where the upstairs and downstairs favorites are the same position involve Derek Carr and Phillip Rivers
Cut That Meat likes Drew Brees
When alyssa is at the Badger building she is on a different level than her Otter room and likes an RB instead
jclemy is glad he doesn't live underneath a QB fan even though the favorite players in that unit are one the same team
Carlos Hyde and Todd Gurley fans live in different buildings
Each building has only one upstairs occupant with a favorite player from California
Only one upstairs occupant has a favorite player from an L.A. team
Mel's favorite player is a Bear. Unfortunately the person upstairs from her snores like one.
_____________________________________________________________________________

Good luck! And good luck in week 3!!! Still lots of season left and it's anybody's league.

Rams against the 49ers tonight, which will totally mess up my commute. And the first London game of the season is early this Saturday, Jags versus Ravens at 6:30am Pacific.

I've figured out the Otter League logic puzzle.

As for the badger complex, I know who all the upstairs tenants and all the downstairs tenants.  I know the upstairs/downstairs pairings of three of the matchups.  However, with the clues given I cannot pair off the other 3 matchups.   I know the favorite player of 8 of the 12 tenants.

Am I missing something in the clues that signifies which "J" WR player [member=2226]Mel[/member] and [member=414]karatekid[/member] actually has?

As for assigning which QB to Sassasfrass and Mel.I.Am its another toss up.

Wow! I didn't think anyone would actually try to solve it :) When I was at the end of it, there were still 3 ambiguities I had to resolve, and those you listed were the last two. I left my notes at home, so I could be wrong, but I think "The favorite players have the same number of characters in their name in only one unit" comes into play for one of those. (I could also have made a mistake of course.)
Title: Re: FoCC Fantasy Football league 2017
Post by: corgikohmander on September 21, 2017, 01:33:39 PM
Alright, I went through the clue one more time and figured out who Alyssa played in the Badgers league, so I know 4 of the 6 matchups now.

The only ambiguities I have left:

Which "J" WR Mel and Karate Kid had?
Who did Mark and MickeyJack3 face off against (between Mel and Karate Kid)?
Which QB SassaFrass and Mel.I.AM had (both are from Cali).


I tried to go back through the thread to gleam any hints from comments or week 1's recap.  No luck.
Title: Re: FoCC Fantasy Football league 2017
Post by: mark on September 21, 2017, 02:28:06 PM
I think I did make a mistake with the QBs for sassafrass and Mel.I.Am. Somehow I didn't have Rivers being from California, not to mention I misspelled his name. Weird mental block on my part.

Maybe I should add that only one upstairs occupant has a favorite player from an L.A. team?

I think the other stuff is ok.
Title: Re: FoCC Fantasy Football league 2017
Post by: mark on September 21, 2017, 06:29:26 PM
My previous comment was wrong, I have my scratch notes in hand now and [member=4351]corgikohmander[/member] called it perfectly, I did leave two ambiguities. I have added 2 more rules to the original post, there are more redundancies now alas but it should be solvable.

These were:

Only one upstairs occupant has a favorite player from an L.A. team
Mel's favorite player is a Bear. Unfortunately the person upstairs from her snores like one.

(The second part of that last one is true, but only sometimes.)

Still, props to corgikohmander for solving what could be solved, it's even more impressive that he completely identified my mistakes, so a special prize for him! That's 2 special prizes in 2 weeks, better up my game here.

Surprisingly good game between the Rams and the 49ers last night, seems like the Rams strategy of blinding their opponents with those bright yellow uniforms didn't work. Likewise my strategy of playing the Rams DST and Cooper Kupp against [member=2125]mickeyjack3[/member] . Lots of empty seats at Levi stadium apparently.

Also, our dog has decided he needs to bark at the refs when they make an announcement, men ... all the same.

Aww man I feel you on the Cooper Kupp lineup.  I just put him in there temporarily (in another league) because Kelvin Benjamin was questionable and i moved him out in every league but that one.  But like MJ said there's still a lot of Foosball to be had as Mama Bouche would say.  (Look it up kids)

WEEK 3 RECAP: Lame edition (hence the color)

First things first, mis compadres. It is imperative that we crush the freedom fighters before the start of the rainy season. And remember! A shiny new donkey for whomever brings me the head of Colonel Mon... oops, I have been informed that I am reading the wrong speech, heh-he. Moving on.

No theme this week, but if there was it should be "How to Get Away with Murder." Some of us, myself included, got absolutely slaughtered. Four undefeated teams overall, Gavin and [member=4351]corgikohmander[/member] in the otters and  [member=2125]mickeyjack3[/member] and @Cut That Meat in the badgers.

Good luck to all in week 4!!! Packers versus da Bears tonight! I'll be at the movies surreptitiously checking my phone.

I play in 2 leagues. One for money and this one for pride. In BOTH, I forgot to set my teams this week b/c I was just so busy, it slipped my mind. In the other league I left someone on a BYE in there and still won. In this one I left 2 players I'd planned to swap out as starters and I still won. Maybe I have just been beating myself? LOL

Love the shirt!

First off, there's so much awful news these days so I'm going to start with a nice story. I'm cranky as well since our dog kept us up all night so because of that let's make it a nice dog story. We live near the coast and at 10am on the first Wednesday of every month they do a test of the tsunami warning system. Right before the test a person gets on the speaker and tells us that this is just a test, nothing to worry about, etc. So one Wednesday the speaker goes on and the guy starts to talk, but there's a dog in the room with him that immediately starts barking. It takes a while for the guy to get control of the situation so in the meantime the dog is being broadcast for miles around, and hundreds of other dogs start barking and howling back. It was glorious. I remember thinking that, for a dog, that must be one of the greatest things one could ever do, for that brief period of time that dog achieved maximum doghood.   

This week's recap is in honor of a blogger I used to follow. I don't know exactly where he lived, I think maybe Taiwan, and the site went down years ago but he had really great analyses of fantasy football and sports in general but also used some sort of translation software that often had really funny results. Some things were pretty basic, for example Michael Bush would come through as Michael Shrub, but every now and then there would be these wonderful sentences like "The Lakers don't have the best players but they do have the best divorce lawyers." So for that blogger of the past, and also in reference to all of the famous anecdotes about computer based translation, I have taken a mostly boring recap and taken it from English to French to Yoruba, then to Swedish with a short hop over to Finnish, to Russian by way of Hindi, a quick stop at Spanish and then back to English. (The original is in spoiler space below.) Go Pants!


ONLY FIVE WEEKS!

Some of the fundamental fundamental molecules of the past week are partially possible, since the first normal week combines with all the pain and stress. All groups that have never been leaders are the first fight, but others see their first corner. During the months Gavin and TK 415650 have bad luck at all levels, and the three tribes and the 4 D2 character fell there. AMC won his first death, at the expense of Jack, and for greater damage the German death (and I) lost Obez at that time. A large power plant, in the hands of the Corgi Commander and working with Prescott and Green, Alex Smith is one of the most successful projects of the week. Game Alyssa and Mario Wario little closer, this protection is loaded in a scheme of potential, the Jaguar helps solve some of these problems, there are also some opportunities for Brady, but it is not Aleks Smit, in Nanyu South weekly Cuddder weekly short in both high levels of all two percent from their point of view.

Increase the defeat of the country, win the victory (in particular) and win more and more to win the meat. Old email chose Deshaun Watson, who helped him with all three muscles, I encountered a spell on stage and on the subway, in which the delegates (who are not described by Fornet) played Carlo. In this league there are fast restrictions on mail, the best calculation for real security and bribes, but a big day of great depression began. After all, Kid Kid has good manners, but for DCUO dust. A good step will not take care of him, I hope he will soon come back to us.

Without a phone or test, we have the highest expectations on Wednesday that everything is basically expected six weeks after the start of the Eagle vs. Pants! Good for everyone!

Both leagues have two 5-1 teams going against each other, and there is a 5-1 versus 4-2 as well in the otters :)

I never did a week 6 recap so here it is:

(https://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.liketotally80s.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2015%2F07%2Fqbert-swears.jpg&hash=606d886a3e8b0676f19dd0c1dbb4d75f94470198)

If you had told me there would be so many points scored in a Thursday night Chiefs-Raiders game I would have scoffed, scoffed I say. But here we are, Alex Smith set to be one of the top scoring QBs yet again and lots of teams off to a strong start.

Thursday's game was such a great game too! (Although [member=13]Carlo[/member] and [member=5427]jclemy[/member] might argue since both played Marshawn Lynch, as did I in my family league.) As for Marshawn: stood up for his friend (good), pushed a ref (bad), watched the game from the stands (hilarious) and then took BART home after the game (BEAST)

With Sir Robin's Runaways needing 11.7 from Zach Ertz to beat me, I'm regretting the last minute tinkering I did this morning by putting in Derrick Henry and getting a whopping 3.4 points -_-

This is not my season.... I think I'm cursed since we're going to have to take a year off Comic Con.

What is up with Ezekiel Elliot? That score was obscene!

A TE getting 11.7 points? I think the odds are in your favor he WON'T.

With Zach Ertz, there’s a chance, but you are correct; it is not likely.

He's going to get all those points and more! Of course I''m only saying that since I need those points to beat my trash talking nephew in the family league. Lots of matches to be determined tonight, I would need a minor miracle.

Ertz came through! I got close enough to have a glimmer of hope, to be extinguished at the end of the game. Maybe I should have picked a kicker that got more than 0 points :)

This puts [member=2125]mickeyjack3[/member] , [member=2835]straightline3[/member] and Gavin at 6-1.

Sweet, thank you sir.

It's the top 6 that make the playoffs, cool!  One of the things that's really cool about FF is that in any given week any team can beat any other team.  I remember one year I was in the playoffs and had a really solid team and the other guy had Aaron Rodgers but Aaron got hurt and was going to miss our playoff games.  Since it was already at the end of the year all the decent qb's were gone.  I could already see the cash in my hand at that point.  But here comes somebody named Matt Flynn, Rodgers's backup who the guy picked up and comes out of nowhere to post 30 some points, beating me by a slim margin.  That was a sad day for me............ :P 

In gambling I'd rather be lucky than good.

"Ok, I'll use them too."

Then Ravens win 40 to 0.  Even worse, I'm against [member=1233]jopari[/member] who played the Ravens DST.

Um, note: since he is done for the year, won’t be back until next season, no need to use the IR slot on him. Just drop the player; not a keeper league. Just a friendly tip.

Sorry for double posting, btw. Just wanted to point that out if any of you are not used to this IR spot.

While it’s most likely a torn ACL(non-contact injury) I would hold off insta-dropping him until we get the MRIs back. At best he’s out for a few weeks.

Also on the NFL Network. He is done for the season; needs surgery. Even ESPN is saying it, too. You can wait for the official word from the team, so up to you.

As a fellow Zeke owner are you worried all these delays will prevent you from having him in the playoffs and ultimately the championship game? Part of me wishes he would have taken it Week 1-7.

I won’t lie, he probably should have taken wk 1-7 off. Get over and done with, but if he is telling the truth, going with what I read, then I am not surprised Zeke is doing this. Next week will be telling! This may be his last win today or maybe he has luck on his side and gets that impossible victory. Idk.

Overall, this saga is crazy. Interesting because I like law stuff but crazy.

That is my big worry in my family league, that plus the uncertainty of who to handcuff with. Here I have a very slime chance still of making the finals, but [member=1]alyssa[/member] isn't helping me with Tyrod Taylor's stats Thursday night :)

Recap wise I was about halfway done with one Wednesday night (based on Poe's "The Raven" which seemed appropriate around Halloween and since so many of us had a horrific week. Not to mention what the Ravens DST did to me in my matchup with jopari.) Then a pile of work related drama hit again and that was that. Turns out workplace politics and the ensuing stress are just the thing to kill off the creativity canaries in my cranial coal mine.

This week's write up has to happen though since [member=2389]Mario Wario[/member] unwittingly suggested it last spring. I was going to start the season with it but it then I realized it made much more sense to use it on this exact week.

edit: I meant "slim" above and not "slime" but letting the typo stand since it is also accurate.

To be exact, it was after the last second of the week. Time was expired; the game was over. It was an untimed extra play that provided the extra 1 tenth of a single point of victory. Quite extraordinary. Just an observation, but it’s the psychological scars that are the ones that never heal.

It's funny how the Saints have become this run oriented team such that my picks in the Otter League, Brees (high confidence in the pick) and Ingram (not so high confidence when I picked him) have totally flip flopped.   

I was even kicking myself in another league where I had picked Newton even though my target QB was Brees but as it stands, Cam likely ends with the better season.

Haven't posted in a while, here's footage from my cubicle the last couple of weeks.

(https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/36/590x/diehard-743069.jpg)

"Come write some code, we'll get acquired, have a few laughs."

Going to be a tough week for those of us, (me included,) whose opponents had Antonio Brown or Roethlisberger. The standings are still pretty flat and I think everyone still has a shot at the playoffs but for some of us, (myself included again,) everything has to go right from here on out.

Haven't done a special prize in a while but I do have one in mind, to the first person who does a very specific thing.

This has easily been the most injury ridden season i've seen in awhile and the most awkward.  Jets are doing better than we expected at the start of the season, Denver is doing worse and the Browns are the Browns, more than likely sitting on that top pick for the draft again (along with my Niners "wah wah").

Happy Thanksgiving ya'll!

Three games on Thanksgiving! First one at 9:30am PST, I just now remembered to check my line up. 

Way overdue for a "proper" recap and I need your help. Off the top of your head, what sort of competitions would an SDCC attendee excel at? Or a geek in general?  :)

Still gotta worry about my game as my opponent has a QB and a kicker left. Im up by 54.4 so hopefully it holds! Playoffs, yo!


And if I get the win, I did the math (unless I’m wrong with my numbers) but Go Team Terminator! Go! I will worry about the tiebreaker later so again, go!

So, since I'd already won my game by 5 points but had a Defense playing tonight. I just pulled my defense and put them on the bench since they have the potential to score negative points and I don't want to lose....however, I don't even know if I make the playoffs anyhow. I need to look at the rules.

ETA: Top 6 teams make it and I'm currently 6th and as long as I win, no one can surpass me.....I think. So I'm just gonna leave my defense slot empty.

Definitely, I would consider pulling that D to make very sure you make it. However, total points is a tie-breaker, and it could make a difference in seeding. If you're the sixth seed, I'm pretty sure you will square off against my squad. Maybe you would welcome that, as my team has been in a skid of late.

If you don’t need the points then do it. I think you would be fine starting either D tonight, but play it safe.

And [member=4270]mark[/member], I haven’t forgotten what you said after week 1. Those points helping me out later on. So, if everything stays as is tonight, thanks to scoring more points, I will get in.

Btw, THANK YOU Bortles! And hey, Eli is back under center. He loves the Shepard. Yessssss. >:D

Playoff brackets are up! Congratulations to those who made the cut. For those in the consolation bracket, I am right there with you (again.)

Haven't done any special prizes in a while, details coming later. And even though every time I say or think this the universe dumps a metric crap ton of work drama on me, I'm saying it anyway. Maybe a recap coming later today or tomorrow?

I’m not trying to sound like a jerk, just could the teams not in the playoffs not pick up any FA’s anymore, please? Unless it was noted by the commissioner that you could, you should let the teams that are in it do the signing. I would be following this rule if I wasn’t in the playoffs. Anyway, good luck everyone! It starts tonight!

I play in 3 other fantasy leagues. Two of them there are penalties and awards for finishing first and last in the consolation bracket so there isn’t any FA restrictions. As for the other league it’s a work league with a lot of trash talk and super competitive. There aren’t any playoff FA restrictions so some non-playoff teams take the joker’s approach and just want to watch the league burn. To each their own.

We haven't used FA restrictions in previous years and we do have a consolation bracket and a last place "prize", so I would rather keep a bit of competition going for people that aren't in the championship bracket, (like me  :( ) I will certainly put it out there for discussion as a possible rule for next year, would that be reasonable? I was in a league a while ago where the rule was that non playoff teams could pick up FAs but not make waiver claims, so there may be room for an in-between solution.

In one of our family leagues the “reward” for last place is a deflated football statue we titled El Flácido. The trophy has to be put in prominent display in the home for the entire off season. In the other family league last place has to pay for the consolidation bracket first place’s league dues for the next year.

I should know better than to tempt the universe like that, grumble.

Anyhoo .... some prize announcements!

I had planned to give a prize to whoever picked up Josh Gordon first, but then 2 teams did it at the same time. So I figured I'd wait to see who played him first, but then both teams did. So I will have to award both [member=2143]TheOtherMel[/member] and [member=5544]Deathbyjackal[/member] ! (I won't make the prize any of the obvious pharmaceutical things so (a) don't worry and (b) don't get your hopes up.)

Also some good luck/bad luck prizes, one to [member=3545]sassafrass[/member] for having the lowest points total of all of the teams in the playoffs, and to [member=1]alyssa[/member] for having the highest points total of all the teams in the consolation brackets.

Speaking of points, congratulations to TheOtherMel and to Gavin for having the most points in their leagues, TheOtherMel the highest overall at 1591. No prizes here since TheOtherMel is getting something for Gordon, and I'll just give Gavin a solid fatherly slap on the back.

Overall, both leagues were pretty flat with most people who didn't make the playoffs just a game or two away from making the cut. Both leagues are led by a team with an impressive 11-2 record ( [member=2835]straightline3[/member] and [member=3450]Cut That Meat[/member] ), followed by a team with a 9-4 record (Gavin and TheOtherMel.) May all 4 of you enjoy a well-deserved week of rest.

No rest for anyone else, the championship brackets have:

[member=846]rando[/member] versus [member=819]brand4d2[/member]
[member=5606]tsnyder[/member] versus [member=2389]Mario Wario[/member]
[member=414]karatekid[/member] versus [member=2226]Mel[/member]
[member=2125]mickeyjack3[/member] versus [member=3545]sassafrass[/member]

with the rest of us assorted nuts battling it out in the consolation bracket.

That's awesome! I need to think of something for the family league this year, last year we sent a pizza to the last place person's house. This person is a noted meat eater who hates artichokes so he got an extra-large veggie lovers pizza with extra you-know-what.

Everyone plays this week! Colts v Broncos tonight but there are also two Saturday games this week , Chargers-Chiefs and Lions-Bears (oh my!)

We are down to 8 teams for the overall championship, quick reminder that that goes to the league winner with the most points in the final week.

In the Badgers we have [member=3450]Cut That Meat[/member] v [member=2226]Mel[/member] and [member=2143]TheOtherMel[/member] v [member=2125]mickeyjack3[/member]

and in the Otters it's [member=2835]straightline3[/member] v [member=846]rando[/member] and Gavin v [member=5606]tsnyder[/member]
 
If straightline3 wins again this year I won't necessarily give him this prize

Both [member=2835]straightline3[/member] and Gavin had big weeks (as did most people who had Gurley or Hunt on their team.) straightline3's total easily one of the highest this season. I'm too lazy to check.

Here's a reenactment of him versus [member=846]rando[/member] , courtesy of https://www.comedywildlifephoto.com/ (https://www.comedywildlifephoto.com/)

(https://www.comedywildlifephoto.com/images/gallery/6/00000216_t.jpg)

[member=5606]tsnyder[/member] could catch Gavin if Sanu has a big week. @mickeyjack3 needs Sanu to come through as well, right now he's just 3.1 points behind [member=2143]TheOtherMel[/member] . (I keep wanting to type TheOtterMel.)  Neither [member=2226]Mel[/member] nor [member=3450]Cut That Meat[/member] have any players left this week so that match is locked up with Cut That Meat taking the win.

Wow, it is a close one! I love how all of the touchdowns are going to people that aren't likely to be on anyone's roster, (I mean a compassionate, commiserative love.)

Here's something sad. Last couple of years I was in a money league with people from work. This year I decided not to do it, but they had me keep a team anyway so that they could have an even number of teams. So it autodrafted and I have never changed the line up or even looked at it until today when I checked out of idle curiosity. I have a better record in that league than in this one  :(

BTW Bosher and B. Anger, excellent punter names.

Update:  [member=2125]mickeyjack3[/member] ended up with a 0.5 point lead. Rest well friend, and try not to think about stat corrections :)

TheOtherMel, you clearly had the better team and should have been in the final. It was the very flukey return from hibernation by Kareem Hunt that was the knife in the back. Getting 39.1 points from him this week definitely goes into the category of drawing to an inside straight on the river. Sorry for the "bad beat." The first beer is on me at the meetup. The second beer goes to [member=4270]mark[/member]  for organizing this madness.

The Badgers crown will probably be decided by a very slim margin. I’d say the Goff/Gurley combo looks pretty solid in the Otter, but Bell is capable of a 50 pt game himself. It’s interesting that in both leagues Bell is the last great hope for the trailing teams.

I hope everyone's holidays went/are going well!  Some family drama over here, work is still a mess, but thank goodness for friends.

This will just be a quick post but here are the 2017 season results

RANK BADGERSOTTERS
1Sir Robin's Runaways Valar Morgurleys
2Cut That Meat Binary Mutineers
3Odinson Ocelots Team Terminators
4Nerd HQ 4 Life so socal ods and ends
5CRANE KICKS Mr. Shruggie
6Team docking that's a thing trash pandas
7Team Brady n Boujee Team C
8San Francisco 4th and 9ers Dragonstone Targaryens
9The OC MicroAggression team Pew-Pew
10Maximum Eifert NC Deathbyjackal
11Calgary Honey Badgers Corgi Kohmander
12Team Pew-Pew No Where Star Munchers

(I could have formatted that table better, rest assured the name is still Badgers and not "Rank Badgers.")

[member=2125]mickeyjack3[/member] takes the top spot in the Badgers, followed by @Cut That Meat , Gavin takes the top spot in the Otters followed by [member=2835]straightline3[/member] , and since Gavin had the highest score in the week (also for the combined season as it turned out) he gets 1st place overall.

When asked for comment, Gavin said "cool."  (That's all we're getting out of him folks. :) )

The results were closer than they seem, many teams missed making the championship bracket by just a match or two, and many of the matches were decided by really small margins. Once again, this was an extremely competitive league, and everyone should be proud, even if they ended up low in the standings like yours truly.

Thanks again to everyone for participating! I hope to see many of you at SDCC or elsewhere, Gavin will be there too if you want to throw anything at him. Sorry again about the lack of writeups this year, I still need to crawl out of a work-related abyss, but I do have several half-written ideas for 2018.

A huge thank you to Mark for his organizational leadership under circumstances this year that sound even more challenging than we all could possibly know!  I hope to see many of you at SDCC, especially you @dcuodust, with promises of no embarrassing misidentifications this year. The time and thought that has gone into making this league so much fun, especially the choosing and making of the prizes, is truly special. It leaves all other leagues with which I’ve ever been involved in the dust. Excelsior!

Thanks for the invite and for those that organized the league.  I'm in a couple other work and family leagues that were 10 teams and this was definitely the most competitive one I was in.  Can't count the number of times I was able to grab somebody I wanted in other leagues and in this league they had been gone for weeks  :D :(

Baby Huey? That is going pretty deep in the cartoon world my friend. There will be a last place prize, I also still need to deliver the one from last year since I couldn't find it when I was packing for SDCC. Last year was a print of a painting by Vernon Davis from his gallery in San Jose, the galley is for his charity so the purchase is technically a charitable contribution :) This year I will have to do something different since the gallery closed down, but it will still be something charity related.

Thanks for putting the leagues together! Every week putting my team together just seeing the geeky team names made me smile and I didn't come in last so Yay Me! Congrats to the winners!

Thanks for doing this Mark! This was my first semester teaching so it was a busy one and thankfully that went better than my team! I'm going to blame it on the fact that I have to miss SDCC this year and I'm sad.

Looking forward to a comeback next year! Thanks everyone.

I actually sold my tickets for a tidy profit, but being there would have been priceless now in retrospect. As a season ticket holder, I’m in the lottery now for tickets to the Super Bowl if the Vikings win next week. I won’t be selling those if I get them.

Reasonable chance I will need to go to Minnesota for work, if so I'd be flying in a day or 2 after the Superbowl :(

Not I, thank goodness for randomization and some missed extra points!

Really impressed by Pederson and Foles. Those two big 4th down plays were incredible. But at several different times, including most of the fourth quarter, I had to pause the game and you could hear whole houses of people collectively groan or cheer. Was torture.
