Do you think the Yanks are ready for the start of the NFL season and not to forget to mention Sarah Thomas, who will become the league's first full-time female game official.

No other country has ever won the Superbowl. Cool

USA! USA! USA!

@bwares: Yeah--ideally it's set up to make life less complicated for the commissioner. But during those few years, several people (old-timers) didn't use a computer or internet access. So I had to make myself available. It was very annoying at times. One guy would call me up Sunday morning and want me to go through the full injury reports and stuff. I put an end to that after several three-hour long Sunday morning calls.

The next year I said screw it let someone else be the commish. But no one wanted to do it and the league folded.

Glad the roster rule was brought to light. Fortunately, I'm covered for this week but it's not my usual MO to consider anyone not playing on Thursday night until Sunday morning. Heck, you don't know if half the league is even suiting up until Sunday morning any more...

Once again folks, please remember to set your roster before the Chiefs/Broncos game. We had some great match ups in fantasy football last week. And for those of you who aren't in the league this is a quick update on who won during week 1:

Kumasi Sakawas 133, Skeleton Coast Shivers 109
Abidjan Red Seals 164, Lagos Loan Rangers 153
Dakar Darlings 103, Ouagadougou Mofos 94
Cotonou Mugus 137, Johannesburg Ssds 103
Douala Dolla Chops 116, Lagos Lottery Lads 111

So far the standings in our two divisions are this:

Moneygram Division
1. Cotonou Mugus 1-0
2. Kumasi Sakawas 1-0
3. Lagos Loan Rangers 0-1
4. Skeleton Coast Shivers 0-1
5. Johannesburg Ssds 0-1

Western Union Division
1. Abidjan Red Seals 1-0
2. Douala Dolla Chops 1-0
3. Dakar Darlings 1-0
4. Lagos Lottery Lads 0-1
5. Ouagadougou Mofos 0-1

So far we have 5 undefeated teams and I am curious how long they will remain undefeated.

Sorry for the double post, but just as a reminder, any owners that do not have a logo for their team, please upload one.

Johannesburg Ssds and Kumasi Sakawas, I'm looking in your direction. Whatever logo you pick just make it something that would look decent if it was put on a Football helmet.

Let's go! Week two!

And the new logo for the Douala Dolla Chops to replace the Thor hammer:

So for those of you following or fantasy football Week 2 had several highlights. Lets start here with scores:

Dakar Darlings 119, Skeleton Coast Shivers 97
Lagos Loan Rangers 124, Johannesburg Ssds 117
Abidjan Red Seals 164, Douala Dolla Chops 149
Kumasi Sakawas 135, Cotonou Mugus 101
Lagos Lottery Lads 98, Ouagadougou Mofos 74

As a result, these are the current standings of the particular teams by record and their current streak:

Moneygram Division
1. Kumasi Sakawas 2-0 W2
2. Lagos Loan Rangers 1-1 W1
3. Cotonou Mugus 1-1 L1
4. Johannesburg Ssds 0-2 L2
5. Skeleton Coast Shivers 0-2 L2

Western Union Division
1. Abidjan Red Seals 2-0 W2
2. Dakar Darlings 2-0 W2
3. Douala Dolla Chops 1-1 L1
4. Lagos Lottery Lads 1-1 W1
5. Ouagadougou Mofos 0-2 L2

Some of the stories going into week 3 are whether the Kumasi Sakawas, Abidjan Red Seals, and Dakar Darlings can remain undefeated for another week. Also on the opposite side of the spectrum, the issue is whether the Johannesburg Ssds, Skeleton Coast Shivers, and Ouagadougou Mofos can finally get their first wind. Lets see how week 3 pans out.

So the fantasy football season is almost over and it looks like its going to come down to the wire for several post-season spots. With that said I have had a lot of fun this season and I have put up a thread for rule changes for next season. Feel free to look through the thread and suggest some. One of them has to do with keeper selections. What I want for next season is for teams to be able to keep players. I was thinking 3 or 4, but I wanted some input as to what the other owners thought was fair. Please go to the thread and give your opinion. Also if you are a new member and interested in Fantasy Football for next year please PM me and we will work you in as an expansion team. With that said, I also want to know how many people are interested in coming back for season 2. If you are not interested, please let me know and there will be no hard feelings, just a thank you for participating. In 2 weeks we will let everyone know what team won the first Eater Football League Championship.

The Red Seals would like to extend their appreciation and give a big shout-out to B8er for some kickin' logo design. As everyone who follows football knows, it always comes down to which team has the cooler logo/color scheme, so it was B8er who done did it for us this year!

The true measure of the team is the amount paid to their Barrister for the Seal.

Well I would like to congratulate all the teams who played in the inaugural season of the Eater Fantasy League. The winner of our coveted Baiter's Ball was Abidjan Red Seals. Congrats to them for their epic season. In addition to them we had several other trophies that were handed out in the league and I would like to formally congratulate (or poke fun of) the winner of those trophies:

1) Cotonou Mugus win the Golden Guyman Banner: This banner is awarded to the runner-up of the league each season.
2) Lagos Loan Rangers win the Big Grey Trophy (Moneygram Division): This is the Eater Football League Divisional Trophy. One trophy is awarded to each team who wins their division.
3) Dakar Darlings win the Big Grey (Western Union Division): This is the Eater Football League Divisional Trophy. One trophy is awarded to each team who wins their division.
4) Dakar Darlings win the Golden Dogtags: This medal is awarded to the team with the Best Regular Season Record.
5) Douala Dolla Chops win the Shorty Banner: This banner is awarded to the team with the worst regular season record who ends the season in Last Place.
6) Dakar Darlings win the Bernie Rhodes Banner: This banner is awarded to the team who loses by the largest margin each season.
7) Skeleton Coast Shivers win the Blue Turd Banner: This banner is awarded to the team with the most Points Against for the season.
Cool

Kumasi Sakawas win the Silver Dogtags (brought to you by Safari Hotels): This medal is brought to you by the world famous Safari Hotels. Along with an all expense paid stay at any location is awarded to the team who wins by the largest margin each season.
9) Dakar Darlings win the Bronze Dogtags (brought to you by the Church of the Holy Buffalo): This medal is brought to you by the members of the Church of the Holy Buffalo who devote their lives to giving away Bob Johnson's money. It is awarded to the team with the fewest Points Against for the season.
10) Abidjan Red Seals win the Bronze Dogtags (brought to you by the Devotees of TWAT): This medal is brought to you by the devotees of The Watchtower Apocalyptic Testament who have turned their lives around and follow the path of the pious and the righteous. It is awarded to the team with the most total points for the season.
11) Douala Dolla Chops win the Lad Hugger Banner: This banner is awarded to the team with the fewest total points for the season.

This was a great season and next year we will be back new & improved. So if any members are interested in participating in next season please PM me and let me know. We can get you in as an expansion team.

That can't be true. My gorgeous logo was personally designed by one of the finest baiters on this site and my team still stunk to high heaven!!

Point of order...

When we talk about losing by the largest margin each season, do we only mean the regular season, and not the post-season? In week 9, Ouagadougou beat Dakar by 162-49, for a delta of 113. Then, in the post-season, some random team (I forget who) thumped Lagos Lite by 220-87, for a delta of 133.

The only reason I ask is because I don't want to see bware get hosed out of a trophy...

Posted: Thu Dec 31, 2015 8:19 pm

The system automatically awards those trophies and it is inconsistent on whether it includes the post season. But for that particular banner it only included the regular season.

Hmm...it appears all mine are in order.

Thanks Fryer. Now shut up!

^^^ Just wanted to make sure. After all, not only were you nice enough to give me Drew Brees (the sixth-ranked QB) but you also dropped Devonta Freeman, the #1 RB and the NFL's breakout star of the year, and I felt the need to publicly declare my thanks by speaking up about your trophy.

Posted: Fri Jan 01, 2016 12:15 am

And I should thank you for the tickets to SDCC! Wink

And the Eater League MVP is Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers (owned by the Abidjan Red Seals), followed closely by Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers and Julio Jones of the Atlanta Falcons (both owned by the Kumasi Sakawas).

A couple of glitches aside *cough* [Thursday roster lock], I think we all had a fun season, so let's give a big shout out to modokmind for coordinating this. clapping
