The FOFC Keeper League - 2007 Season

[samifan24]

Can you put me down for the waiting list?

[Lathum]

I know Saldana wants in if there are any open spots

[gottimd]

Me in.

[timmynausea]

I didn't get to keep up as well as I would've liked last year, and I'm afraid the same would happen this year. I'll go ahead and bow out.

[ISiddiqui]

Still in

[johnnyshaka]

In.

[Neuqua]

With the business up and running, I really don't know when and how much free time I'd have so my spot is open.

[sterlingice]

I'm wanting to stick around, for sure.

SI

[Eaglesfan27]

I'm in for another year.

[TLK]

I know Saldana wants in if there are any open spots

Have him post in here and we'll get him setup.

[TLK]

Waiting to here from HB and JAG and then we can move on.

[Lathum]

Have him post in here and we'll get him setup.

will do

[saldana]

if there is still a slot open, please count me in

[TLK]

Waiting to here from HB and JAG and then we can move on.


bump....

[MikeVic]

Yes, we should resolve the issues from last year. :) But I've forgotten what they were already.

[Honolulu_Blue]

I'm in. Sorry.

[Lathum]

Is saldana in then?

[TLK]

Is saldana in then?

Yeah, saldana and samifan24 are in. I'm still waiting for information from saldana though. Once I get that, I'll filp a coin to see what teams they get.

[JAG]

Sorry, I'm still in. Must have missed this recently.

[JAG]

bump

I think one of the things we wanted to fix was roster size? I seem to remember people getting tired of drafting their 15th and 16th players last season. There was discussion of using two QB's (that I personally didn't care for), potentially changing the scoring system, and possibly adding a keeper for the upcoming season for a rookie that I thought sounded interesting.

[samifan24]

Yeah, saldana and samifan24 are in. I'm still waiting for information from saldana though. Once I get that, I'll filp a coin to see what teams they get.

TLK, I sent you a PM a few weeks ago but I don't think you ever got it. I logged into my Sportsline account but I cannot see or access my team.

[Lathum]

do you still need info from Saldana?

I can call him if you do or may know it myself

[MikeVic]

Should we make a complete list of items to vote on, and then do it sometime over the next two weeks?

[Lathum]

Should we make a complete list of items to vote on, and then do it sometime over the next two weeks?

think thats a good idea/.

[TLK]

TLK, I sent you a PM a few weeks ago but I don't think you ever got it. I logged into my Sportsline account but I cannot see or access my team.

I just sent you a manual invite. The problem might be that we don't have full access to our site at the moment.

[TLK]

Should we make a complete list of items to vote on, and then do it sometime over the next two weeks?

Here is everything I have from last season. If anyone can think of any more, feel free to add them.


1. Smaller Rosters. The bench spots will be reduced from 8 to 6.

2. Rookie Keeper. Every team can keep an additional keeper at any position, as long as the player was a rookie in the previous season.

3. 2 QB's. Every team must start 2 QB's. (If this passes, we will consider modifying QB scoring.)

4. Playoff Teams. The two wildcard spots will be awarded to the teams with the best records, regardless of conference.

[Lathum]

1. Smaller Rosters. The bench spots will be reduced from 8 to 6.- nay

2. Rookie Keeper. Every team can keep an additional keeper at any position, as long as the player was a rookie in the previous season.-yay

3. 2 QB's. Every team must start 2 QB's. (If this passes, we will consider modifying QB scoring.)-yay

4. Playoff Teams. The two wildcard spots will be awarded to the teams with the best records, regardless of conference. Yay

[samifan24]

As a new league member, I will abstain from voting unless asked to do so.

[TLK]

Tentative schedule for 2008:

July 14th - All rule discussion is concluded. All members will have one week to vote on any rule proposals.

July 21st - Announcentment of rule changes.

August 8th - All keepers are due, leaving five days before the draft to set a preference list.

August 13th - Draft starts with a 12 hour limit per pick. The draft clock will be active from 10:00 AM (EST) until 12:00 AM (EST).

August 20th - Draft continues with normal draft rules... Two hours per pick with the clock active from 10:00 AM (EST) until 12:00 AM (EST). You are encouraged to setup a draft list as the Sportsline "robot" tends to favor QB's.
Any problems with this?

[Lathum]

a couple of thoughts.

Would the rookie keeper come into play this year meaning you can protect a rookie from last year starting now ( I'm looking at you Adrian Peterson) or will that actualy start with next years keepers?

I would tink if we go with 2 quarterbacks starting we should keep rosters at 8 reserves.

[TLK]

That would start next year, for rookies drafted this year.

[Lathum]

That would start next year, for rookies drafted this year.

I think thats fair

[Lathum]

Any problems with this?

works for me.

[samifan24]

FYI, I was able to sign in and access my team this afternoon. Thanks.

[JAG]

1. Smaller Rosters. The bench spots will be reduced from 8 to 6.- yay

2. Rookie Keeper. Every team can keep an additional keeper at any position, as long as the player was a rookie in the previous season.-yay

3. 2 QB's. Every team must start 2 QB's. (If this passes, we will consider modifying QB scoring.)-yay ---> provided QB scoring is modified as a result (yes, I flip-flopped)

4. Playoff Teams. The two wildcard spots will be awarded to the teams with the best records, regardless of conference. Yay

a couple of thoughts.

I absolutely think this would have to start for the upcoming season to be fair. Although boy wouldn't this past season have been a great one for it to have started...

Schedule looks great TLK, thanks for the organization.

[Eaglesfan27]

1. Smaller Rosters. The bench spots will be reduced from 8 to 6.- nay

[sterlingice]

1. Smaller Rosters. The bench spots will be reduced from 8 to 6.- abso-freakin-lutely. Might as well just show up for the draft now since there's nothing on the ww after about week 2.

2. Rookie Keeper. Every team can keep an additional keeper at any position, as long as the player was a rookie in the previous season.-yay. nice idea to add a little dimension to the keeper aspect

3. 2 QB's. Every team must start 2 QB's. (If this passes, we will consider modifying QB scoring.)- Yay, so it's not just RB-draft-o-rama as it is in most leagues; the keeper aspect does change this a little

4. Playoff Teams. The two wildcard spots will be awarded to the teams with the best records, regardless of conference. Definitely.

SI

[ISiddiqui]

1. Smaller Rosters. The bench spots will be reduced from 8 to 6.- yay

2. Rookie Keeper. Every team can keep an additional keeper at any position, as long as the player was a rookie in the previous season.- yay

3. 2 QB's. Every team must start 2 QB's. (If this passes, we will consider modifying QB scoring.)- HELL nay

4. Playoff Teams. The two wildcard spots will be awarded to the teams with the best records, regardless of conference. - Yay

[MikeVic]

1. Smaller Rosters. The bench spots will be reduced from 8 to 6.- Yes. I think everyone was just taking stupid wild shots by the end of the draft.

2. Rookie Keeper. Every team can keep an additional keeper at any position, as long as the player was a rookie in the previous season.- No. More complicated.

3. 2 QB's. Every team must start 2 QB's. (If this passes, we will consider modifying QB scoring.)- No, never played with this system.

4. Playoff Teams. The two wildcard spots will be awarded to the teams with the best records, regardless of conference. - Yes. I think I made the playoffs last year with a crappy record and didn't deserve to be there.

[JAG]

3. 2 QB's. Every team must start 2 QB's. (If this passes, we will consider modifying QB scoring.)- No, never played with this system.

For what it's worth, neither have I. I decided I'd be kind of interested to give it a shot though.

[TLK]

I'm against 2 QB's because it just seems like someone is going to get screwed. Every team will need 3 QB's and with 12 teams... that would equal 36. I'd hate to lose a week because one of my QB's is on a bye week and I couldn't replace him.

that happened in another league I was in and people were pretty miffed

Exactly. That would be horrible stuff. Also while backup RBs do get points, even on teams with great starting RBs (see Michael Turner in SD), backup QBs won't get any reps with great starting QBs who don't get hurt.

[saldana]

not sure if my votes count, but here they are anyway

1. Smaller Rosters. The bench spots will be reduced from 8 to 6.- yay

TLK, let me know if you need anything else from me, or if we cleared all that up a few weeks ago with the PMs we swapped

[TLK]

It still isn't showing you as confirmed. Try to login on Sportsline. If that doesn't work... I sent you a manual invite. Try the link from that e-mail.

1. Smaller Rosters. The bench spots will be reduced from 8 to 6.- F-Yay

3. 2 QB's. Every team must start 2 QB's. (If this passes, we will consider modifying QB scoringF-NO

4. Playoff Teams. The two wildcard spots will be awarded to the teams with the best records, regardless of conference. .hmmmm, on the fence, but leaning towards just a general yes

[saldana]

got in through the email link...not sure what i was supposed to do to confirm myself though

do i get to select my keepers, or do i have to make a start from zero

[Honolulu_Blue]

1. Smaller Rosters. The bench spots will be reduced from 8 to 6.- Yes. It increases the activity on the waiver wire and trades possibly

2. Rookie Keeper. Every team can keep an additional keeper at any position, as long as the player was a rookie in the previous season.- Yes, but only if the roster sizes are limited, see #1.

3. 2 QB's. Every team must start 2 QB's. (If this passes, we will consider modifying QB scoring.)- No.

4. Playoff Teams. The two wildcard spots will be awarded to the teams with the best records, regardless of conference. - Yes.

[TLK]

Good to go. Yeah, you will get to select your keepers from the team you took over.

[Lathum]

we are locked out of the CBSsportsline website

[Honolulu_Blue]

I will see what I can do.

[TLK]

I will see what I can do.

Thanks.

[Lathum]

I will see what I can do.

thanks HB

[TLK]

Any word on this? I can start messing around with other sites if need be.

[saldana]

wow...when did they become a pay site?

[MikeVic]

I think since the beginning, we've been paying... but get a full discount because someone in the league can do that.

[JAG]

To think I almost bumped this yesterday.

[Lathum]

wow...when did they become a pay site?

it's always been for us ( not sure if they have a free version with less bells and whistles) but HB's brother works there and kindly gets us comped.

[saldana]

it's always been for us ( not sure if they have a free version with less bells and whistles) but HB's brother works there and kindly gets us comped.

after i posted that, i thought about it and remembered that the baseball league i was in, the site costs were always part of the buy in each season

[sterlingice]

Any updates?

SI

[gottimd]

I think due to time constraints, if this league still goes on, I may have to resign. I just have too much going on in my life at the moment to pay attention to the 6 fantasy leagues I am in. I need to cut back, and I'd rather someone else on FOFC have a crack at it than have a team sit idle in the league.

My apologies all for the short notice.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Sorry for the delay. My brother is working on this. Apparently "policies have changed", so he's trying to see if he can get the league through.

I will keep folks updated.

[JAG]

Bump again. Looking at the tentative schedule from earlier this thread:

July 21st - Announcentment of rule changes. (there was no formal announcement, but from a guess it looks like yes to 6 instead of 8 bench players, yes to 1 rookie keeper (any position), no to 2 QB's, Yes to wildcard spots being awarded to the two teams with the best record regardless of conference)


August 8th - All keepers are due, leaving five days before the draft to set a preference list.

August 13th - Draft starts with a 12 hour limit per pick. The draft clock will be active from 10:00 AM (EST) until 12:00 AM (EST).

August 20th - Draft continues with normal draft rules... Two hours per pick with the clock active from 10:00 AM (EST) until 12:00 AM (EST). You are encouraged to setup a draft list as the Sportsline "robot" tends to favor QB's.


I don't know that we had copied a roster list from the previous season to select keepers from, but I'm thinking we may want to move the dates back somewhat as we are waiting for access.

[Lathum]

May be a good idea, also, do we have a replacement for Gotti?

I know I have no idea who most of my guys were.

[TLK]

Not to put any pressure on HB, but I think we're screwed without the site. I was almost a 100% sure I copied the rosters, but can't find them anywhere. So if/when we get acess to the site... we can move the dates around.

[MikeVic]

Oops, no idea who I had either. :) But I think I had Brady, Adrian Peterson, and Randy Moss. So just give me those as my keepers.

[JAG]

Next season we gotta remember to post those in a thread at the end of the year (if there is one).

[saldana]

Odd, thats exactly who i thought my keepers were?

I understand that, fellas. I figured that might be the case. I will talk to my brother over the weekend and hope to report on the status early next week.

[Lathum]

If he cant get us comped is there any way we can get a copy of the rosters?

[MikeVic]

bump!

[TLK]

I'm half-tempted to pay the $120, get the rosters and then take them up on their money back guarantee. With my luck though... It wouldn't work out.

[Eaglesfan27]

I'm willing to pay for a portion of the cost of the league if it comes to that, but we need to decide something soon if we are going that route.

[johnnyshaka]

What EF27 said.

[MikeVic]

It's $10 each if we all pay right? Don't we have 12 people in the league?

[Lathum]

what EF said also

I have really enjoyed this league and want to see it kept going

[Lathum]

It's $10 each if we all pay right? Don't we have 12 people in the league?

is there a replacement for Gotti?

[MikeVic]

I had those E-Reports sent to me, so I know my roster as of December 18/07...

Favre, Brett QB GB
Brees, Drew QB NO
Johnson, Chad WR CIN
Burress, Plaxico WR NYG
Marshall, Brandon WR DEN
James, Edgerrin RB ARI
Jackson, Steven RB STL
Fargas, Justin RB OAK
Taylor, Chester RB MIN
Vikings, DST DST MIN
Folk, Nicholas K DAL
Driver, Donald WR GB
Cardinals, DST DST ARI
Young, Selvin RB DE
Smith, Kolby RB KC
Chatman, Jesse RB MIA

[Lathum]

dola- we could paypal the money to one person and they could pay.

[JAG]

I'd be agreeable to this too. We've had some good history going with the league over the years, it'd be worth the $10 to me, though I could understand that if the newer league members balked. And yeah, I think we still need one additional player unless we haven't exhausted our waiting list yet.

[PackerFanatic]

I just caught this thread, and if you guys still need a replacement for Gotti, I wouldn't mind stepping in. Just letting you know :)

ive got no problem paying my share

[Racer]

If you don't mind playing on a different site, I know espn.com is offering keeper leagues for free this year (not sure if they will continue in the future or not).

Also, is it okay in this thread to mention that there is a FOFC auction league that needs one more owner by Sunday? ;)

[MikeVic]

Part of the problem is we don't remember rosters.

[sterlingice]

I'm pretty sure my keepers would be the same as last season but if we need to do something, I'd like to know. Also, when the draft is becomes a big deal to me, particularly if we have to pay money- I'm out of town this weekend and moving across country the next week so I'm going to have limited internet access.

SI

[PackerFanatic]

Yahoo also has free keeper leagues.

[ISiddiqui]

Part of the problem is we don't remember rosters.

QFT. All I remember is that my keepers from last season were John Kitna, Randy Moss, and I can't remember the RB.

[MikeVic]

I'm pretty sure my keepers would be the same... Brees, Jackson, Johnson. But we need everyone's rosters, or at least keepers.

[Lathum]

I think mine were Hasselback, Wayne and Bush

[Lathum]

dola- the new teams would have no idea though so that really isnt an option

[samifan24]

As one of the new teams, I'm all for moving to a free ESPN or Yahoo keeper league. I realize you guys have a lot of history with the past season but it seems that we are at an impasse of what to do.

[JAG]

HB hasn't been on for 48 hrs. I shot him a PM in case he gets email notification, but I think we should hear his latest before we decide. If his brother can't comp the league or get us the rosters, shall we say we paypal TLK (assuming he has paypal) to get rights to our info? (those who have expressed info in doing so)

[Lathum]

I am good with that.

I'll have spotty net access the next fewdays but I will check in and if it is urgent Saldana can always call me

[TLK]

I just caught this thread, and if you guys still need a replacement for Gotti, I wouldn't mind stepping in. Just letting you know :)

If we ever get going again... the spot is yours.

[TLK]

I'm okay with whatever the rest of the league wants to do. I think it's going to be hard to get everyone to throw in money this late in the game. I'm going to fire an e-mail to Sportsline support and see if they can give me a copy of the rosters. I'm not holding my breath, but we'll see.

[MikeVic]

You're right, I don't think we'd get 100% support.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Sorry for the delay.

I was on vacation last week and didn't have net access from Wednesday until today.

I will check with my brother one last time. If he can't get it comped, I may have to bow out.

Sorry again for the delay.

[Lathum]

NP HB, not sure if you saw up top but even if he could get the rosters that would be great. Thanks again, hope ypo enjoyed vacation!

[MikeVic]

Trial period has been extended! I can see my roster, I think the rest of you can too.

[MikeVic]

Here's an Excel file taken from the site with the rosters, just in case. ;)

[johnnyshaka]

Copy and paste of what MV attached above.

OK...so are we heading over to Yahoo! or something so we can keep this cost effective??

First, big thanks for coming through HB. I would say:

1. Let's let TLK set up a free keeper league on Yahoo or ESPN, shame we'll lose a bit of the history of the other site, but free is nice.

2. I'd say everyone should post their keepers ASAP.

3. I don't know how scheduling would work for everyone (particularly SI as I think his access is or would be limited?), but maybe we say something like this for a draft schedule:

Friday August 22nd - Draft starts with a 12 hour limit per pick. The draft clock will be active from 10:00 AM (EST) until 12:00 AM (EST).

Monday August 25th - Draft continues with normal draft rules... Two hours per pick with the clock active from 10:00 AM (EST) until 12:00 AM (EST). You are encouraged to setup a draft list.

Only thing is I don't know is if we'd have the same draft setup options at Yahoo or ESPN as we have had in the past.


Callous Dowboy Keepers:

QB: Tony Romo
RB: Adrian Peterson (farewell LT, thanks for the great years)
WR: T.J. Houshmandzadeh

[MikeVic]

We can save history as Excel files as well... but not sure what good that would be.

Vic's Heroes Keepers:
QB: Drew Brees
RB: Steven Jackson
WR: Plaxico Burress

NP HB, not sure if you saw up top but even if he could get the rosters that would be great. Thanks again, hope ypo enjoyed vacation!

Thanks, Lathum. I did. I was able to "geek out" sufficiently at GenCon. I need to do that every now and then.

Let me look at this crappy team for keepers...

[johnnyshaka]

Shaka's Big Shooters:
QB: McNabb
RB: Lynch
WR: M. Colston

EDIT: Changed my WR from A. Johnson to Colston.

Is there any free site that will allow us to do the extended online draft... like Sportsline?

I was thinking about that, too, as Yahoo's online draft won't work the way sportsline's does. I'll see what I can dig up.

By the way, thanks HB for hooking us up!!!

[TLK]

By the way.... thanks HB.

From the looks of it... we have the Sportsline site through September 17th. Would anyone have a problem if we ran the draft over on Sportsline and swithed the league over to Yahoo after that?

Hmmm...no problem with that but that won't help us next year and beyond in terms of the draft.

Can someone refresh my memory on keepers? I only visited the league site a couple of times. Is it one QB, one RB and one WR for everyone?

I believe so.

Since we're getting fairly short on time, I think using the draft on the Sportsline site would probably be the way to go. We can figure out what we're doing for next year sometime between now and next year's draft.

Yes, though you can keep a TE instead of a WR if you wish.

Good point.
