Oh I agree but he did give everyone comish abilities so I changed the league name, waiting for the backlash. =)

Re: 2011 Fantasy Football Thread
In the league I run, I have two brothers that are the typical pain in the ass fantasy players. Calling everyone a cheater, vetoing fair trades, complaining about all the rules, making trade offers that are 10x worse than the trades they veto, etc. I definitely see where he's coming from lol.

Re: 2011 Fantasy Football Thread
As a Commish myself I can tell you that it is a thankless job. I pay for all the materials used for the draft, cook, organize and everything. Gathering the players to set a draft date, getting blamed for anyone who is late, people expecting everything to be done in a matter of seconds, and not to mention everyone talking about how someone else could do a better job than you.
My best friend is in the league with me and he calls me to complain about the scoring whenever he loses. One time I had to sit on the phone with him and literally compare NFL stats with ESPN's stats all the while calculating the points with him for him to get mad at me because it didn't work out for him. Needless to say I was EFFING PISSED that day. But who else can or will do it ?

Re: 2011 Fantasy Football Thread
There has been 1 game played and I am already down two starters. Got screwed by the whole Manning thing, then Colston broke his collarbone. This is my first time playing, beginning to see why I never wanted to play before. Now Kolb is my starting QB.

Re: 2011 Fantasy Football Thread
Earlier,I mentioned the sucky WRs I have on one of my teams. I started Nelson, he panned out, the other guy is Collie. Do you all think I should stick with Collie over Armstrong, Malcom Floyd and Eddie Royal (note I'm starting Gates which is why I'm staying away from Floyd). BTW FYI the rest of my Starters are, QB Rivers, RBs Foster, Gore, Flex Fred Jackson, Gates, Gano and the Skins.

Re: 2011 Fantasy Football Thread
I am regretting not drafting Skins D with my last pick.
Also Armstrong and Gaffney are free agents in most leagues. Who is the better pick up?

Re: 2011 Fantasy Football Thread
Well Gaffney will be the starter and will get more looks and touches. But AA is always capable of pulling down a couple of big ones in one game.

You're going to have to wait out Knox and Brown because neither are starters at this point. But both are better than starters on their rosters. It's going to take some time.
