    1 sbr contest, who cares. I'll be in up to 100 leagues.

    Like i said if anyone plays in it, you won't be in any of my leagues or get any of my fantasy advice that people would pay cash for , but i give advice for free.


    Martin mature enough to stop???? Won't happen
    I know it stings TT, that I am running a fantasy league(s) here at SBR. I'll help you through it. You can lash out, say what you will---it's okay. I pity you. I had no idea how sick you were/are. I hope your mom uses some of her inheritance to get you the psychiatric help you so obviously need. The moment I saw you post that towel covered in shit, I should have realized that we aren't dealing with a sane person, and I think I took advantage of that. Making fun of the seriously mentally ill is not my best moment here on SBR.

    I owe you an apology. I'm sorry I made fun of you. Making fun of the mentally sick is wrong, and I will try my best to stop doing it.

    That's cool.

    Your already posting fantasy football stuff without being asked. So I have a feeling you still will during the season.

    Anyone out there, feel free to ask me if you need any help with a player decision during the season. I will do my best to help out. I helped out plenty last year.

    I will post details by this Friday.

    Many thanks to those of you interested.

    If anyone has a conflict with the potential draft date, please let me know--I will certainly try and accomodate anyone that is interested.
    Count me in, if the buy-in is in that range. I'm point poor right now.

    August 19th might be a problem. That is my main league's draft as of now. I can do pretty much any day after 5pm PT.

    TT, don't be afraid to ask for help. There are some pretty good psychiatric hospitals out there. Remember the first step to getting better is asking for help. Denial is just a river in Egypt.

    I would be interested in joining Martin, should be a great success. I was going to suggest we use cbssports.com, as it really is the best fantasy site out there when it comes to full league, season-based fantasy play but I forgot to realize there is a $160 fee for the commissioner version of the site. They still do have a free version where we can have a private sbr league but it's not as customizable (the worst part being only 4 teams make playoffs and they don't give you a ton of roster space).

    Check it out anyway if you'd like to see the scoring/roster/lineups and such. We could still do the free version but our options would be slightly limited. All the other great features of the site would be the same: clean, easy to use site; great draft room; post custom stories/pictures on the homepage; very quick updating scores with a real time chat room attached to game center; unlimited mock drafts at each 1-12 position that are saved for you records.

    Maybe sbr would put up the fee for the custom version , they even keep league history and records.
    Guess we're relegated to yahoo, not as bad as nfl.com fantasy that's dreadful.

Could I strongly suggest we use CBSSPORTS.COM, have been using it for over 6 years and it's a very clean, easy to use site with very quick updating scores. They have an updating news feed on player info and you can even post custom stories/pictures on the homepage about anything you want ("Martin's team shooting the Blanks falls to 0-5" haha just messing wanted to give an example). They have a real time chat box at the bottom of game center for all to use and talk.

    I have used yahoo.com and nfl.com (really trash) and they simply cannot compare. Have not used espn but I seriously doubt it's better than cbssports. They literally run thousands of leagues (pay and free), I have never had any trouble or issues with the site. The draft room is great looking, straight forward and easy to use. You can customize each league to however you need it.

    Another great feature is you can do as many mock drafts (with real people) as you want at each draft position (1-12) and it will actually save a log of it so you can go back over how you drafted and such, maybe test your strategies. Don't want to be too pushy here just feel strongly about this. Hope you will consider if the decision has not been made already, thanks for running this.
    That's what this effort is all about.

    Getting feedback from you guys and using it.

    I have no problems with CBS as our server.

    To be fair, if no one has any real objection-----I will use CBSSports.com for the league.

    Thanks again for the recommendation, and if you guys have any others-----don't hold 'em back. Let me know about it.

    My apologies Martin, please read the post I edited above. I forgot there is a fee for the custom version of the site but we still can do the free version if people don't mind only 4 teams making the playoffs, that's really the biggest issue I would think. We may not have the option to use a flex either (QB/2RB/3WR/TE/K/DEF), the scoring is standard I don't think people would mind that. And there may only be 5 reserve spots, which is not a ton and would leave some good depth on waivers. If people don't mind the playoff issue, then I say it would be great. I'd recommend the members to go to cbssports and read about the free league scoring system and such to get all the info so we're on the same page. If it's too much trouble with this, I guess yahoo is fully customizable and free.

    Damn maybe I'll even pay the fee for the commish version of the site since I opened my big mouth, haha.

    You can do free customized leagues at ESPN. My two SBR leagues have two different rules.

    Free---I don't mind paying for it, so long as it is a good product.

    I am going to look at it tonight.

    Sorry for leading you down the wrong path , I think yahoo or espn may be our best bet since they have customizable leagues that are free. Can't believe I forgot about this fact, cause I'm not the one initially paying for the site. The commish of our league puts up the money and then it's added to the total league fee collected at the draft .

    Not that big of a deal, I will look at all ESPN/Yahoo/CBS tonight---and post tomorrow about which I think will meet our needs.

    Anyone ever used NFL.com? I haven't, and wondering how good or bad it is.

    Yes no doubt Onlooker is very sharp in Fantasy Football, i sent him some points after last season because his advise helped me win 1 $$$ league against some friends and 1 points league here at SBR. Looking forward to this season Onlooker.

    The funniest part is tubby said he won't give info out if people join Martin's league. The same tubby who has promised to leave repeatedly yet keeps coming back.

    Okay guys---an Free---hope you are cool with this, but ESPN looks like the best option for us.

    If I run multiple weekly contests, and a few season long ones----ESPN I think will serve us well.

    Is everyone okay with that?

    Try and post in here if you have any objections?

    Op, I don't understand it, either. I've reached out to him, offered him help/social services---everything to get his head on right. But he still doesn't want the help.

    On a side note, can anyone tell me what Heavy_Duty and BlueGrassFitness are?

    Also, has anyone asked TTW to post his tennis coaching story? Where you guys find this stuff is beyond me, but it sure is funny.

    Sounds good, now the sooner you could set up the 1000-point season long one, the sooner we could set up our draftboards.

    Sounds good, they're all run very similar anyway. Looking forward to a few leagues this year.

    Guys, I am going to create a new thread----to update what I created on ESPN.

    The idea behind this is to get as many guys as possible to join, and to have fun. I am going to manage the leagues----but I am going to run this as democratically as possible.

    If you guys don't like the scoring, or setup-----everything is open for discussion.
