Stupid Observations of your fantasy team (1 Viewer)

[Insein]

Yea this is not a very helpful post but its a place to put dumb things you noticed about your team. Not going to be very serious in here.

So for me, I randomly selected 6 guys that start with De.

Demaryius

Demarco

DeAndre

Desean

DeVante

Dexter

Not sure how much I had to drink during the draft.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Derp!

 

[Franknbeans]

I will start 3 receivers named Johnson after adding Charles to the mix.

 

[Jimbo Slice]

Both my qbs have a week 10 bye

 

[jurb26]

Every RB on my team is from the SEC.

Gurley, Todd STL RB

Hill, Jeremy CIN RB

Ingram, Mark NOS RB

Mason, Tre STL RB

Yeldon, T.J. JAC RB

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Every single player on my team has the first name Abdulla.

I'm thinking of calling my team the Abdulla 'Mata-taas.

 

[gabes1919]

We use a sticker draft board in my league and if you peel it, you pick it. I made the brilliant move of peeling me some J Brown only to see, to my horror that I had picked mother####ing Jaron Brown... had to pick him and grab John Brown next round. Not drunk, just stupid. Will the real John Brown please stand up.

 

[oswizzle]

Rashard Mendenhall ........Championship

 

[FUBAR]

I like receivers named brown.

 

[Biabreakable]

In one of my leagues my first 3 RB are Blount, Blue, Payne.

This amused me.

 

[Mr. Irrelevant]

The combined age of my top 4 RBs (AP, Ingram, J-Stew, Bush) is greater than the combined age of my 5 WRs (Evans, Hopkins, K. Allen, Cooper, M. Bryant).

If only it were a PPR dynasty league instead of a non-PPR redraft.

 

[LittlePhatty]

Both of the kickers I drafted are white dudes.

I swear I'm not racist, that's just how the draft fell to me.

The color of stickers that come with the CBS draft board for the kickers are white, so it may have just been subliminal.

 

[duaneok66]

My second best RB is Ryan Mathews.

Guy in a draft last night took Jordy Nelson early 2nd round.... $100 buy in / $5 F/A Moves / 12 Teams

 

[Gianluca]

I have T.Y. Hilton and Ty Montgomery.

 

[Uncle Grandpa]

A guy in my friend's draft took Felix Jones in the first round; thought the sticker said Julio. Nobody said anything until it was too late to fix.

some people might want to reread the title of the thread . . .

 

[Pipes]

People seriously walk up to a board, peel off a sticker, and place it on a different board for every pick? Why??

It's a fun way to do it, and no one has to write stuff down. Drafting on the computer via a glorified chat room sucks.

[sho nuff]

Odd names all around on my team.

Jamaal, Dez, Alshon, Arian, Martavis....even goofy enough with my kickers Cody and Caleb...Eli as well.

Sam Bradford has the most normal name on my team.

 

[17seconds]

Last year in my dynasty startup draft I took Demarco Murray as my RB2 and Ryan Mathews as an RB3/flex. Now it's a handcuff.

 

[sho nuff]

Its easy...puts it up on a board for all to see easily.

Also cuts down on the idiots that some leagues have where they try drafting someone that is already gone.

IF the sticker isn't there...guy is typically already drafted (not as easy in baseball where there are some guys that are not on the sticker boards when they are made because it was not for sur eif they would be called up or not).

 

[Dan Lambskin]

I didn't get Gates

 

[houston]

Felix jones still has a sticker?

Announcing to the room who you are going to pick then crossing that name off the list. I'm not criticizing just curious...where does one get a sticker board with all the names? How much does it cost? I've been playing in leagues since 1989, so pre-internet, and have never done this.

We have a couple of guys in my main league who get drunk and always name someone who's been drafted already. I think I'd miss the fun of ridiculing them. If fact some of us place bets on which one is going to be first.

 

[Pipes]

Yeah I think I'd be protesting since he's been out the league for over a year.

draftkit.com for $25 shipped. Totally worth it. Folks love the ritual of placing a sticker up there. Gives room for shtick like placing all cowboys stickers upside down (our league rule), and keeps a nice big visual record. It's so common that these boards/stickers are automatically included free as part of a draft kit from places like Hooters if you hold your draft there. CBS sports includes one with every league in case you hold an offline draft.

Hell I've been playing 10-15 years and have never been to a live draft that DIDN'T have one.

Some places charge.

We used to get the kits with our subscriptions on CBS for our baseball league.

Last few years we have done it at Buffalo Wild Wings and they provide the board and stickers...coupons for free food later and crap.

Doing ours there next week...then watching OSU/VTech after.

Why is Felix on a sticker?

That, my friend, is a fine question.

I have LeVeon Bell and LeGarrette Blount in my main league.

Yeah. When in a bar's party room, it gets pretty rowdy and loud. The board makes it easy to have fun and not worry about missing picks. You can always look at the board and catch up. Plus, as others have mentioned, there's some good schtick that can take place when people walk up to make their picks.

 

[msudaisy26]

A guy in our local league actually picked all white receivers a month ago, he has a side bet with another owner that he can start only white receivers all year and still make the playoffs. His bet took a serious hit when Jordy went down.

 

[Insein]

My second best RB is Ryan Mathews.

Mine too. My first is Demarco.

Fandraft my friends. Virtual sticker board with intro music for your team and all your team logos and ugly actual photos to place up on he big screen. Plus when you're done it imports to MFL and other sites with no fuss. $30 the first year. $15 the second.

Seriously. Do It!

 

[HairySasquatch]

As Commish of my league for the last 20 years, there is no way I would let this happen. Same with drafting someone who got injured and is out for the season.

Well as commish of my league "You ####### dumb ###!" Would have been the standard response as laid out in the charter.

Any TV with a standard VGA and speaker input would suffice. Almost everyone has at least a 40" these days.

Both of the kickers I drafted are white dudes.

I swear I'm not racist, that's just how the draft fell to me.

The funniest part is that you drafted two kickers.

Agree... no better way to make the league a joke than to allow a guy to use his first round pick on Felix Jones by accident.

 

[Shutout]

I have an offensive player named Brandon Marshall, Charles Johnson, and Dez Bryant.

I have a defensive player named Brandon Marshall, Charles Johnson, and Dez Bryant.

Other than that, my team is a sausage-fest (3 Johnsons and one Bush).
