That's why I can't wait to kick his little tushy ass.

I can imagine you going to check if we're PPR, finding out we are, smashing your keyboard around a bit, coming back, and trying to play it cool.

Nah- I looked over the score setup before signing up and didn't recall seeing anything that indicated PPR. It probably didn't register in my head because it's half a point.

Eh, 0.5 per rec. That's not enough of an incentive to refrain from taking an elite RB.

in a 14 team league, PPR, picking RBs round 1 is funny money.

But we're not PPR.

Week 1...the two new guys face off.

I almost won my first time, and I only signed up to play because a group needed an even number, so I said, "What the hell, sure."

Funnier when it was done on Austin Powers: Goldmember, but still funny. :P

Shmoke and a Pancake?

I have exhausted Preparations A through G, and now I must apply Preparation H.

I suppose I favor the approach I do in casinos because I actually like sitting down and playing cards, and you can't do that if you run out of money really quickly (true story: I have never once lost money to a casino

), but these fantasy deals are one-shot affairs- no sitting at the table drinking cocktails and bantering with the other players.

Obviously you're more likely to win in the DUs and 50/50s, but I find the bigger tournaments more appealing. I like the thrill of getting lucky that one time.

That's contrary to my approach to casinos, where I like the games with the lowest house edges and I tend to stay far away from slot machines.

Off-topic:

Has anyone ever played any of those weekly fantasy games where you pay an entry fee, pick a team, and try to get like in the top 25%-50% of the players for a payout? Fan Duel is perhaps the most advertised, but Yahoo has rolled out their own version of this, and I think it might be something I would enjoy.

Any experience with this? How is it?

Is it something I can do on my phone sporadically, or do I have to be here at my computer for a solid chunk of time?

You will either need to be present for about an hour, or you can set up an auto-draft where you rank the players in the order you would want them and, if available, you'll draft those players.

I prefer Yahoo. I think the ESPN interface sucks.

MovingPictures07 wrote:So... I've never played fantasy football before. I know practically nothing about football. I am really busy as well, but I'm going to be taking a break from mafia for a little while after Recuritment IV and Angry Birds, since I think I've been overdue an official actual break, and it's been requiring so much emotional energy from me that I need to funnel back through my PhD work.

I still obviously really want to do something recreational with you folks that doesn't require nearly as much energy. How much do I need to know about the sport to have fun with this, do you think?

It doesn't matter what you know- Arian Foster will pull his hamstring, Cam Newton will get in a car accident, and Adrian Peterson will beat the shit out of his kid.

Botha y'all oughtta sign on for this one.

I'm Robinosis on ESPN FF. Can you add me there?

juliets wrote:Makes it sound like you won't because I signed up . And yeah Epi, you know how this goes. It doesn't take that much time.

I didn't say I won't.

And it does take me more time than the average participant. I study things.

Turnip Head wrote:Well the good news is you really only need to check your team once a week to set your lineup. Pretty low maintenance

I know how to play fantasy football. I'm in one league already.

And I don't just "check my team once a week" for "pretty low maintenance."

Depends on what? Juliets has signed up - does that help?

I don't care to spread myself too thinly in my online activities and lately I've been doing just that.

I might. Depends.
