Hardware League - 2013 MacRumors NFL Fantasy Football

[creator2456]

Sorry I missed the draft. Sunday's (especially Sunday evenings) are usually slow for me at work, but today was non-stop customers from 10-6

After taking a minute to look over the draft results, I think we have a pretty darn evenly matched league from the get go. A trade for a backup may be the deciding factor in several races down the stretch.

 

[Peace]

Good draft guys.

Note I took two of the top QB's for a reason. Sitting on number one pick makes later picks hard.
*cough cough*

 

[Dontazemebro]

Yeah it was good draft. I knew there would be a run on RBs early which forced me to grab the top 2 receivers at the tail end. Still would be interested in a trade if the asking is right.

Can't wait for opening day now. I'm shooting for dead last! Haha

So here's ESPN's analysis. I can only assume they generate the grades based on their expert's opinions with a 10 team league using standard scoring.

I thought you did the scoring. I said to myself when I saw the scores "not bad for my first year doing fantasy."

"It's okay. A lot of people fear success".

What's that supposed to mean?

Anyways, I can't wait to prove ESPN wrong!

It would be nice to have in the first post a relation between the Team Name and the name here in MacRumors. Most have different names.

1. Berlin Pretzels -
2. Dez Dispensers -
3. grapes 911 - grapes911
4. SoCal Californians - The Californian
5. Team Dontazemebro - Dontazemebro
6. Team HarryPot - HarryPot
7. Teams mscriv - mscriv
8. Team Portlandia - Peace
9. Whittier Poets - Dandaman
10. Wonton Hand Cannons - rockyroad55

ESPN is short on experts so I put no stock into that analysis. Plus, I'm awesome.

 

[Peace]

He who laughs last laughs loudest.

I've never depended on ESPN Experts.

If you say so, Dotted Lines...

So I take it you are Team Portlandia?

Keep in mind I've got Manning sitting on my bench and I'd be up for a really good trade.

No way, I had no idea that you would be wanting to trade when you drafted two of the top QB's in the league?!?

Having the first pick isn't all it's cracked up to be lol.

As a reminder to everyone, make sure to set up your trading block so we know what you want/need and who is off limits.

FYI, no one on my team is "off limits", but it might take a really good deal to entice me to move some players over others.

I'm taking offense to those draft grades (Dez Dispensers). Prepare to be beaten by a team which ESPN says drafted terribly!

I'm actually quite happy with who I chose. My bench especially. Funny that the comment there is "Did you choose a draft guide from 2009" when my first pick, Doug Martin wasn't even in the league then.....same with Thomas, Torrey Smith, Demarco Murray, Lamar Miller, Tavon Austin, Andy Dalton.....

ESPN is a joke with those things...

Anyways. Good luck to everyone! May the best team (mine) win!

FYI - I'm a waiver wire hawk and extremely trade happy so feel free to shoot offers my way for pretty much anyone and don't be discouraged if I shoot it down a few times.

Peace - I think I'll refrain from trading with you out of principle.....you stole my QB man - I'd rather let him rot on your bench than give you some good players! LOL

Be prepared to lose to a rookie here

I created an Eliminator Challenge on ESPN, and its open to anyone who wants to play here. The challenge is simple, you choose one team who you think will win each week, but once you choose that team, you cannot use them again for the rest of the season. So if you choose New England this week for example, you cannot use them as a winning choice for the rest of the season.

We play every year and veterans have first say at claiming their spot. When a vet drops out we fill vacancies on a first come first serve basis. So, watch for the threads every fall and be ready to post your interest in order to claim your spot.

All my games are at 12:00 CT!

BTW, good luck mscriv. Get ready to be humiliated by a rookie.
