Keep being a fanboy, Hootie.

We should get a Chiefsplanet league with me, Hootie, Hamas, Duncan and anyone else from this thread.

Put your money where your mouth is Hootie.

Send me your email and I'll send invites. It's standard 5X5 H2H with a 50 transaction cap so people won't bitch.

We can either start a thread and have the draft offline and I'll enter everything manually or try to find a time where everyone would be available for a live draft. I hate doing live drafts with half of the owners on auto-pilot, though. An active draft is part of the fun.

I'll send invites to those guys...ESPN Free is better than Yahoo Free IMHO...I really despise Yahoo and their jacked up rankings...at least if someone misses a draft in ESPN the rankings are set so they can at least get a decent draft out of it.

I sent Naptown a PM the other day about that league but haven't heard back from him. Is someone else setting it up? Have you heard anything?

I want to have a live draft, and a money pot.

I'm ok with that, do you have PayPal? No one trusts me so I won't be handling the money, but I'll gladly let you or anyone else hold the winnings in a paypal account or something like that.

and I'm pretty open, but in order to have a live draft I'd really prefer if at least 8 members would be able to make it...

Right now I'd really only be willing to dish out $25 or so...money is a little tight for me.

always draft as many catchers, royals, and colorado pitchers as early as you can

Hootie · 03-10-2009, 09:34 AM

I have to have email addresses to send invites...so anyone who wants in needs to PM me their email address.

Hootie · 03-10-2009, 09:59 AM

I sent an invite to RJ.

Waiting for email addresses from The Bad Guy, Hamas, Duncan, Sure Oz, Tk13, and anyone else looking for a competitive league.

We can hammer out all of the details once the league is filled.

**The Bad Guy** · 03-10-2009, 10:32 AM

We could make it a 30 dollar league, winner take all.

I don't mind that idea if everyone is on board.

RJ · 03-10-2009, 11:08 AM

Anywhere from zero to fifty would be acceptable to me.

The Yahoo league Oz mentioned had no money involved but it always stayed active, even the bottom dwellers stuck around. Maybe a Planet Pride thing.

Are there any fees owed to ESPN?

duncan_idaho · 03-10-2009, 01:13 PM

I despite ESPN. Would much rather play a Yahoo league, but if the consensus is ESPN, that's fine.

Not sure about putting money in it, either. I hate PayPal passionately, and it probably isn't safe to send the case to one guy.

But whatever.

There are no fees with ESPN anymore...

I don't understand why you despise ESPN more than Yahoo? I think Yahoo is about the worst fantasy provider out there...I suppose that's just my opinion, though.

Have you tried ESPN since it went free?

It least with ESPN if someone has to miss the draft and doesn't set their list, they won't give them shitty players...ESPN has some good pre-set rankings...unlike Yahoo who has the worst rankings I've ever seen. If you miss a Yahoo draft, you're ****ed.
