2016 Borg Fantasy Football

Post by BlackDuck »

I've been trying to contact GWCR (Weibs on the football league) with no luck. There isn't much time left before the NFL season starts. So I'm willing to start and Commish this years league. It looks like I'll have to start the whole thing over, so, if you're interested in playing this year, please respond here. Also, send me a PM with your email address so I can send you the invite. We will again use FleaFlicker. If GWCR does contact me and he's willing to stay as Commish, we can just restart the league we've been using. I do ask that you be patient with me as I try to figure all of this out, as I've never started a fantasy league before. So I'll be learning as I go.

I would like to propose one change from last year. I propose we limit it to 12 teams, two divisions, six teams each. Last year we had 14 teams, 2 of which did not participate much if at all. This completely wiped out the players on the waiver wire. If you all are OK with this change, the first 12 people to commit on this thread will be in. I'll be the first to commit, so we need 11 others. I'm looking forward to another fun year.

Awesome...thanks for the help BB2. I really appreciate it. I saw that you were signed into the new league. Let's get going everyone, it's only two weeks before the season starts, and we've got to get everyone signed up, then schedule the draft.

That will be 8. We need to get 2 more to get a 10 team league. Would love to get 4 more to play to get a 12 team league. If, I've missed anyone, yell at me and I'll get it taken care of.

EDIT....I have updated the list above.

Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain.
Quaintest thoughts — queerest fancies,
Come to life and fade away:
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today.

I gotcha now...I misunderstood your last message. It's been a while since he's been active on the BORG, so I sent him a PM through FleaFlicker. Hopefully he gets it and replies with his email address. And my list has been updated.

Looks like we are coming in at 8 players right now. We need at least 2 more to run a 10 team league. So if your familiar with fantasy football and want to join a fun group and play, or if you've never done it before and would like to give it a whirl, now is your chance.

Let's get 2 more to play and we'll have a great season, just PM me your email address and I'll send out an invite.

Hey guys! Thought I would drop in and leave a quick note. First, I apologize for the lack of communication from me on this and any other forum related stuff over the past few months. As they say, life gets in the way. BlackDuck, thanks so much for getting the league going again this year. Glad to see it is in good hands (don't worry, if I can run a league anyone can)! I'll try to pop in from time to time, but definitely can't take part in FF this year. Thanks again, and sorry for the disappearing act!

Cheers!!
