I do believe MikeL will not be the commish this year in the 4th annual Fantasy Football league, so I will take care of the duties. Right now, I am going to list the managers team names from last year....if you are in again this year PLEASE P.M. me. I will have the league info soon, but for now I need to know who is in from last years VHLinks football league.:cool:
Last years team names:
Crazy Fool Murdock
Sooper Bole
Balanced Smack
Brew Crew
The Wookies
Just My Jam
Rebels
Limecuda's Hooligans
Miller Lite Drinkers
MikeL
Fighten Weasels
T-Ryan to finish first
Loco's
Wratw's Colts
Rythum Pigs
Sucka's Squad
This is the actual way the season ended last year (before the playoffs)
Sooper Bole was the champ (my older brother) and I was the super bowl loser.:( Let the trash talk begin!;)

NFL.com is free again? That is cool, Yahoo revamped the site though...I still plan on doing the Yahoo league though and check out the new shit they have.
Anyway, there are still a few managers that need to check in and get on the site! 1 month till the draft and some new guys want in.
I want to have the same guys in the league again since it was so much fun kicking ass and trash talking!

We have a great date and time for the draft. Just a few more managers to join and we will be in full force pre-draft trash talk mode.:D

We have got 6 days left and 7 slots open. It would be cool to have just 'linkers' in the league but if it doesn't fill up we can invite from the 'oustide'.
The season is almost here!.....can it drag on any slower?
Aquatic Punk
07.25.05, 04:06 PM
The Aquatic Punks are registered and ready to kick ass.
as it happens the live draft is set up for my wedding night...but no worries, i kick ass at pre ranking.
and don't worry about me bailing out after gettin' my ass kicked early...if you recall in 2003, i had chad pennington at qb and frickin' david carr at backup...and then pennington went down in preseason with an injury and missed 12 games....but i took my weekly beating with an updated starting roster every damn week.
TheresOnlyOneWay
07.26.05, 11:14 AM
Turns out I may not be available for the live draft. If that's the case (never having done a draft this way), I understand it will use the rankings to pick for me, but can I set it to pick position by rounds? Ex. RB in the 1st, WR in the 2nd, etc.? I'd hate to see my roster and see that 3 QB's were taken in the first 3 rounds. Forgive me, I haven't had a lot of time to delve into the site.

25 days until the 4th annual VHLINKS Fantasy Football Draft.....the draft is the funnest time of the year for fantasy football! Some funny things happen at every draft: Like the "oops I meant to pick Curtis Martin, not Cecil Martin", and the dude that accidentally drafted Rickey Williams last year.
For those that can't be at the draft, pre-rank your players very carefully and make sure you "delete" the players that you do not want drafted....injured or for whatever reason.

How hard do you think it was when the Packers won the previous year and then they had to play the Broncos? FUCK, my Dad almost disowned me. Our bet was a case of Miller Lite. I said the Pack would be winning at half-time and the Broncos would win the game and he bet the opposite. IMO, that was one of THE best superbowls ever.

Jake's Juggernaut = (jgr-nôt)
n.
Something, such as a belief or institution, that elicits blind and destructive devotion or to which people are ruthlessly sacrificed.
An overwhelming, advancing force that crushes or seems to crush everything in its path: “It doesn't assume that people need necessarily remain passive when confronted by what appears to be the juggernaut of history” (Christopher Lehmann-Haupt).

We beat it for the most part , a few minor violations , not unlike they would find at ANY top tier College program ! The NCAA seems to like to crawl up the ass of any program that wins a championship ! As far as Maurice goes , he came here looking for special treatment and cash handouts , he found the Alummni to give it to him , that's not the schools fault !

That's cool man. I was born and raised in Michigan and attended U of M just like my old man did. There's the explanation for my slight jab. I agree with you 100%...you dig deep enough in ANY program and you will find dirt.

There will NEVER be Woody vs. Bo like rivalries again! Talk about passion and history! People down here used to get fired up about Bowden vs. Spurrier and I would just laugh my ass off! Woody and Bo started off as comrades...became enemies and then near the very end became cool with each other. All along they always had much respect no matter how heated the rivalry got! I am the same age as you and we where lucky to have grown up during that era. It started in the late 60's but really heated up when we were young boys! I went to so many of those games..got autographs from Byars...Cris Carter...Art the gambler (however you spell his name) , Tomczack
Ron Springs, Tim spencer etc.

top that!On "top that" coming up!;)
The first year that I played this VHLinks league I won it all. That same year I played in two other fantasy leagues and won them. Also, played the ESPN Gridiron challenge and won that in the same year.
I have been in the super bowl in this league every year I have played it (3). Only lost last year to my older bro: sooperboleXXX.
So, this year I will probably suck and lose every game. Fantasy football is a very fun and exciting game to play. It is strategy, being up to date on players mixed with a shitload of luck.
Check this out:
THe very first year I played fantasy football my starting lineup was:
Favre, Harrison, T.O., Rice, J.Lewis, Edge, S.Sharpe. My bench running back was Priest Holmes. My team didn't do shit. Anyone know what year this was?:D

I think the guy is awesome when healthy! He seems to be the only target when the ball is in the air.
Favre will have a solid year as usual. Holmes will only play 8 games but give you 900 yards and 6,000 touchdowns.....he is hurt when it counts:PLAYOFF TIME!

I'd love to have him dude, but that would give me 2 Bronco running backs , which wouldn't help me much in their off week. :brickwall

Well, I know Denver's rbs are sweet to have. Years ago I had Portis. My weakness is wrs this year. With Jamal Lewis and JJones penciled in as starters I may be looking to upgrade in other areas. I just heard on ESPN Lewis may still have an ankle problem going however.

Denver Broncos RB Breakdown
by Brad Wolf, KFFL
Tuesday September 20, 2005
There are certain acronyms that make you cringe. Nobody wants to find the letters STD on their medical report, nor do you want to open your garage and find a WMD. The point is, some acronyms are scary, and there may be no acronym in fantasy football more terrifying than RBBC. For you novice fantasy football leaguers out there, RBBC stands for Running Back-By-Committee.
Nothing can destroy the fantasy value of a running back more than the dreaded RBBC. Today, I am saddened to report that Denver head coach Mike Shanahan plans to employ a RBBC offensive scheme until further notice. For those of you that selected Mike Anderson or Tatum Bell in the first four rounds of your draft, I will give you some time to clear the projectile vomit from your monitor and continue reading. For those of you that don't own a Broncos running back, you should be saying to yourself, "Ahh, Denver... Gorgeous!"
The Broncos have played two games so far this season, and in both games a different player has been the featured running back. In Week 1, Bell carried 13 times for 47 yards in relief for Anderson, but he was generally ineffective as Denver was crushed by Miami 34-10. In the game, Anderson was equally unimpressive, carrying four times for just five yards. Heck, even QB Jake Plummer (three carries, 18 yards) was more productive on the ground than Anderson. In his defense, Anderson did leave the game with a rib injury.
Anderson was again the featured back in Week 2. Anderson carried 15 times for 49 yards and fumbled once as the Broncos barely squeezed past San Diego 20-17. Further complicating the situation, RB Ron Dayne put up good numbers, carrying eight times for 44 yards. Dayne was the go-to running back in crunch time, rushing six times for 38 yards on the Broncos game-winning drive. Bell did not record a carry in the game after suffering a sprained ankle on a kickoff return early in the game.
In those first two games, Anderson was targeted 23 times (15 percent), including three times in the red zone (14 percent) and once inside the 5-yard line. Bell was targeted 17 times (11 percent), including five times in the red zone (24 percent) and four times inside the 5-yard line. Dayne was targeted eight times, all in Week 2, but he was not targeted in the red zone.
So where does all this leave us? With a RBBC, of course. This will mark the first time in his professional career that Shanahan will utilize a true RBBC approach, and you should consider yourself lucky to be a part of history. Anderson will be the "starter," but don't read too much into that label. Bell will serve as the change-of-pace back, and Dayne will be the physical back in short-yardage situations.
If the numbers are any indication, rushing yards will continue to be split fairly evenly between Anderson and Bell. Dayne will also have the occasional game where he hits the 50-yard mark. Touchdowns will be almost impossible predict. An even distribution of scores between Anderson and Bell, with Dayne trailing behind, should be expected.
Combined, Anderson and Bell would make a productive No. 1 RB for your fantasy team. On their own, however, they are each at best a No. 3 RB. It will be impossible to predict on a weekly basis which player will be more productive, and this will drive fantasy owners crazy all season. My best advice is to stay away from this situation at all costs.
If you are an Anderson or Bell owner, leave them on your bench and pray that Shanahan will eventually make one of them his de facto No. 1 running back. (If you haven't noticed, Shanahan is prone to changing his mind, repeatedly.) However, if you are not an Anderson or Bell owner, consider yourself lucky (unless you are the proud owner of a Minnesota running back).
After last season, I made a vow to never go near a Broncos tailback so long as the e vil fantasy-killer Shanahan was in charge. To give you a little insight on how maddening it can be to own a Denver running back, allow me to walk you through a scenario that occurred last season.
After plucking RB Reuben Droughns from the waiver wire after his 193-yard performance against Carolina in Week 5, I thought I was the king of the world. I even built a miniature version of the Titanic in my back yard (perfectly to scale, mind you), and reenacted Leo DiCaprio's famous scene while wearing my Droughns jersey every Sunday. Every Sunday, that is, until Week 14, when Shanahan inexplicably re-inserted RB Tatum Bell into the lineup.
Bell rushed for 123 yards in Week 14 against Miami, splitting carries with Droughns, but the damage had been done. Droughns got just four carries the following week against Kansas City, prompting many owners to keep him on the bench for Week 16. Of course, Droughns responded with a 22-carry, 91-yard and two-touchdown effort in Week 16 against Tennessee. In Week 17, it was back to a 50-50 split between Bell and Droughns, with neither back contributing enough to make a positive fantasy impact.
And you wonder why I have sworn off Denver running backs for life (or at least until Shanahan leaves the Centennial State).
The Denver offense has been so disappointing through the first two weeks of the season, fantasy owners that started Plummer or WR Ashley Lelie on their squads are likely 0-2. However, things should improve for those two players once the Denver offense, historically a very productive unit, gets back on track.
If you own Anderson, continue to look at him as nothing better than an average No. 3 fantasy back. For Bell owners, common sense dictates that at some stage of the season the most talented back has to win out - but, that brings us back full circle (and what vicious full circle it is) to Shanahan's wild and unpredictable madness. Dayne, who looked sharp in limited touches in Week 2, shouldn't be counted on in your starting lineup unless you are facing a tough injury situation.
The safest thing at this point is to completely avoid owning a running back on this team. If you cannot rid yourself of Bell or Anderson, make the best of what you have and be prepared for a maddening season.
For now, you can take solace in the fact that another famous fantasy owner, Snoop Dogg, is experiencing the same problems that you are. I really think Snoop said it best when he crooned, "With so much drama in the LBC, it's kinda hard to win with a RBBC." True dat, friends, true dat.

If our league was a keeper league, I would have considered Bell as a number 5 pick. When did Shanahan become a weinee? The Broncos are very well known for producing great running backs, especially fantasy wise.

I am not going to start him until he can prove better than S. Alexander, Portis or Fred Taylor. Also, if Jamal Lewis gets hurt then I can start Chester Taylor and then have some serious trade bait. Just figuring for the best of luck for me.;)

You're waisting a roster spot dude ! Bell is in Shanahans doghouse for some reason and I think Dayne will see more playing time at #2 than Bell will !
BREW CREW
09.28.05, 05:02 PM
I don't think I am wasting anything. As soon as Dayne poops out and Anderson gets hurt, Bell will be the guy. That is what I hope though. I always take chances on players to break through after a few weeks.
I remember all of the hype with Bell and I am pretty disgusted with very little fantasy output, but there is still hope since we are only going in to week 4.:thumb:

bears defense killed me yesterday, along with mike andersen getting less carries against a good run d in baltimore with tatum bell coming back.
