RANT: Welcome to Aqua-Beowulf's, the home of fantasy football

[chazzy1864]

Foster + McFadden is beast.

Don't worry about QB. Rivers, Ryan, and Roethlisberger will all be available later, and you can get a couple of them as insurance.

I also got Charles in the 3rd.

I forgot there is a wild card util slot (Q/W/R/T). So getting two QBs is a good idea. I was going to go after like Rivers later, but most are getting mopped up. I'm just going to go for 1-2 discount ones (Schaub, Freeman, Locker, RGIII). The guys with higher upside for their cost.

A super flex spot? Get QBs soon. Get 3 of them. I'd want Rivers and Ryan but would accept Big Ben. After that it gets sketchy, but get somebody like Luck, Manning, RG3, Schaub, etc as your QB3.

You have 3 stud RB and you will probably only want to start 2. You're golden at that position, basically. (assuming QBs score a lot more than RBs, like usual, you'll want a QB in that super flex spot)

Too late for that. When I was reminded of the super flex it was no where near my pick. My QBs are going to be questionable. Best avaialble by rank is Romo.

Matt Ryan? Ben Roethlisberger? No Rivers?

Eli gone?

Romo has a lot of upside, but Witten has the spleen thing and Bryant can't seem to pull his head out of his ass and there was something up with the other WR too...

[Farley1324]

Once Palmer, Freeman, and Luck have been taken QB is pretty much tapped out. You'll want 2 QB before it gets to them.

[chazzy1864]

lol yes, they were all gone. Well Rothy was there, but I neve rlike using him. I grabbed Schaub for now. With a full season he is just fine.

Right now my super flex has Jamaal Charles. I'm not upset, because given the scoring in this league, the top 5 QBs were the highest scorers. Then the next 5 scorers were muddled with receivers, RBs, TEs. Pretty much yardage is a big ticket in this league.

[Farley1324]

That should do well. Just remember that when injuries happen, and when bye weeks hit, your 2nd QB will possibly be your starting QB or your flex play. Unless you somehow get a pretty good RB4 or WR3...

Also, FYI, Roeth isn't a great play in this league. He was outscored by Sanchez by just a bit (249 to 267, respectively).

But yeah, once I missed all the prime QBs, I decided to try to fill the other roles with solid ones.

Schaub
Victor Cruz
V-Jax
n/a
Arian Foster
McFadden
Tony Gonzalez
Jamaal Charles


Bench:
Freeman

I was annoyed that my prime targeted receivers got taken (Megatron, Steve Smith & Brandon Lloyd).

[chazzy1864]

QB: Schaub
WR: Victor Cruz
WR: Vincent Jackson
WR: Nate Washington
RB: Arian Foster
RB: Darren McFadden
TE: Tony Gonzalez
Flex: Jamaal Charles
K: Nate Kaeding
D/ST: Jets

Bench:
Josh Freeman
Rashad Jennings
Ben Tate
Toby Gerhart
Robert Meachem
Matt Cassel
Jacquizz Rodgers


I have all the main handcuff/back up RBs to focus on, IMO. Receivers got thin fast. I wanted Titus young but he was nabbed 2 turns before me, so I settled on Robert Meachem (one turn after somebody took injured Vincent Brown).

[Orlando1234977]

Fantasy League Update: I set a maximum number of player acquisitions. I used the highest number that was allowed. I then reset everybody's transaction number to 0 for a fresh start (Orlando had 18 already). The new maximum players that you may add over the course of the season is 100. That is the equivalent of 6.25 additions for every week of the fantasy season.

Consider this moderator action a result of disrupting league traffic.

You're going to need to find, and impose, alot more rules than that to keep Team Orlando down son.

[Screamin]

OK, I love pro football. I love college football. I enjoy a LITTLE bit of fantasy football. But this is officially ridiculous.

How useless are all of your lives that you have time to manage 5+ fantasy teams? Good grief...

I doubt they do it with any success. This is my first ff league in years.

Dana White is an annoying, vindictive prick.

Chael Sonnen is spiteful and insulting, go figure.

Lulz, never thought I'd long for the days of Apple vs. Samsung pt. 77.

I got a Motorola. Not quite in spite of Apple or Samsung,, but a tiny bit for Samsung. Iphone was tempting, but the screen was too small. Would have costed a bit more of money too. All and all, the Ipad is still an option.

Android's cool. I only picked the one that would suit me for pictures, web browsing, and maybe some MP3 capability. I like the size and layout. It's really thin also, so that's cool. Only thing is the functionality of the setting is a bit outdated. I feel like I could design a better functionality setting/layout. I'm not into having to lock it at the end of every call. I have a bunch of unwanted numbers in my contacts.

I'll say that Apple has the coolest browsing on their phones. Aren't they regular computer web-page layouts?

[Final_Rep]

Bleh! I'm out, for day 2 of PHAT. Power lower body day.

I love listening to your little piss-ant ranters trying to talk tough. They make me laugh. If Vox was here, he'd laugh too.

I'm not gonna shoot you between the eyes, I'm gonna shoot you between the balls!!!!

Anyway, nothing like a random car magazine trying their hand at video only to end up making some of the best cars in the world look very boring. At least the lap times around Laguna were surprising:

lol this... fantasy anything is completely retarded and a giant waste of time.

I felt like a complete douche when I made a 2nd march madness bracket, I don't even want to know how many brackets you guys had.

I once bought PPV movie when I was 18. Then I quickly realized fantasy anything is retarded and a giant waste of time.

[theshoupguy]

Except for The League. That's some good stuff right there.

Unfortunately, the Rant ≠ The League.



Although we are extraordinary gentlemen.

I fill out 1 or 2, but a bracket in March is a far cry from a fantasy league, lmfao. There's nothing to manage, you basically just gamble away $10-20 on a bracket and watch some college hoops.

If I'm going to throw away $10-20, I'd rather do it on a lotto ticket where I have about the same chance of winning, but with a much bigger reward, and a lesser chance at looking like I have no idea what I'm doing.

Point taken, if you don't follow college ball you shouldn't feel pressured to fill one out. I've ended up pulling money (1st or 2nd) in one or both brackets for the last 5 years here in Portland. Some of it is knowing the teams, some of it is gut feel. If you watch the conference tourny play before the big dance you'll know what teams are hungry and on a run... not all are televised tho. Anyways...

[Farley1324]

I am all-in with Steven Jackson this year. It seems like I have taken him in every single league, either as a flex play or on the bench, maybe as my QB2 once?

My in-progress draft (Yahoo public, 10 teams, 3WR and no flex) I have so far: (in order I took them, 2nd pick)

Arian Foster
Darren McFadden
Larry Fitzgerald
Steve Smith (Carolina)

Steven Jackson


That gives me Foster on 2 of my 7 teams. Not bad considering that, if I ever had the first pick (I have not) he's the guy I'd take.

Because bb.com is infinitely more productive than fantasy football.

Time for another great tech support story, this time from AT&T. Chain of events:

1. Power goes out
2. Power comes back on
3. I start up my pc, start firefox which tries to bring back the tabs that were open before the crash, luckily the only one was youtube.com(that exact address)
4. Retard ATT router/service redirects me waving it's arms around, "oh no, everything is broken now", even though everything is working
5. Restart again, no more messages, except every time I type in "youtube.com" I get redirected by the stupid ****, only to a 404 now
6. Clear cookies, clear other ****, restart all hardware, no change
7. Search online for the problem, tons of responses about people pulling out their hair and switching service because of this exact issue. No apparent fixes
8. Call up tech support, flabbergasted lady sends me to "tier 2".... fantastic
9. Tier 2 retard suggests sending a new router my way to exchange. After "guiding" me to the command prompt and checking the IP address. Thank you mr. Wizard. Hang up on that idiot
10. STILL REDIRECTS ME. Even though all other pages are working, including other youtube pages, including youtube.com itself in private browsing and other browsers
11. Come up with a ****ty work around, now the only way to access youtube home page through normal firefox use is through https://www.youtube.com/. God forbid I try youtube.com, I'll get redirected by their retard service.

What grade A moron wrote their code and then forgot to alert their trained monkey tech support of the issue? Good thing I didn't have 10 tabs open or it would have been a real pain in the ass.
