View Full Version : MoFo Fantasy Football 2016 - Sign-Ups!
Wow, it's here already! Another season of MoFo Fantasy Football is upon us.
What's all this then?
The members on this site play in a fantasy football league. This will be its ninth year, and it is, if I do say so myself, a great league. We play with 12-14 teams, and even though there's no money on the line we have a very high retention rate, and the league is almost exclusively populated by competitive, engaged owners. It probably helps that I buy the winner a trophy each year:

Can I play?
Perhaps! But please note: this is a Movie Forums league, which means heavy preference is given to longtime/returning owners and people who are active on the forums. We try to lean towards the latter criteria these days, both to make sure everyone's around and engaged, and to occasionally allow new people a chance to play. So if you've never played but you're pretty active on the site, you've still got a decent shot.
If you don't make the cut, I started a money league (it's modest: just $50) that's been going for a couple of years that will very likely have room, with a handful of the same owners anyway.
How do I sign up?
Just reply in this thread and say you'd like to play, and you'll be considered based on all the stuff I mentioned above. You may or may not get in, but there's no shame in asking.

I need to get back on track. I've become a one-year wonder. So count me in.
This year there wont be a PPR Jungle overflow league anymore. So its this league and the pay league only. Ive dropped out of the pay league, Freds league, and the MoFo league is the ONLY FFB league Ill be in this football season. Thats right, Ill only have one fantasy football team. Ive been to the final two times in a row and lost, to make a 3rd, and win, I will do any symbolic sacrifice :yup:

In honor of last year being Peyton Manning's last season, I decided to honor him with a vintage Peyton Manning impression: great during the regular season (10-3, tied with Fabulous for the best in the league), then one and done in the playoffs. This season I'm going to try to be like the old, broken down Peyton Manning who does just enough to bring home a title. I just need to make sure I draft a defense that will score me 100 points every week and carry me to a championship.
Looking forward to opening all these cans of Whup-Ass I got waiting in the fridge. September can't get here soon enough. ;)
Forgot to say in yesterday, so, in.

That's eight and counting. I'll start bugging other likely returning owners sometime tomorrow, but I expect it won't be long until we're all full up.
If you're reading this and haven't played before (but have played fantasy football in general), and you're active on the site, by all means, sign up! Worst thing that happens is we don't have room, and we'll make room if we can. And people who don't make the cut one year tend to get preference next year, like an unofficial waiting list.
Bump, for anyone who didn't see this over the weekend.
Yeah fridays are a bad time to announce anything around here. Is Fiscal in? He still comes on doesnt he?

I just sent a message to PW. I hope hes ok I havent seen him on here in forever.
PW moved recently and is much busier in general. He had to skip baseball, and I think he said or suggested he might have to do the same with football, so we'll see.
I think Fiscal bowed out last year just because he knew he might not have as much time. But we'll see. We're definitely not going to have trouble getting a full league.

You think itd be cool if we invited Joshua from the pay league? Hes a good guy and he and I have always played together, being this will be my only league now I was curious if we could invite him here too?
We're very unlikely to need extra owners. I can't remember the last year (maybe the very first, nine years ago?) where we didn't have people wanting to play that we didn't have room for.
He'd be a fine choice in the event this happens, though.
BUMP.
Also, invites sent. Time's running out to confirm involvement and all that, people. In the next week or so we're going to start talking draft/rules/etc.

Can't remember if I already confirmed but I'm in.
Yup.
People confirmed so far:
- Yoda
- Sedai
- jiraffe
- TONGO
- Captain Spaulding
- seanc
- rauldc14
- Fabulous
- F. Inmate
Waiting on:
- Cole
- Pete
- LT
Can't make it:
- PW (:(, but he'll be in the money league again this year, at least)
And there are about six others who've played before who may or may not fit, depending on the other responses we get.
Yup.

Petey better get his you know what in here. :yup:
Just got word he's in. :up:
So that's ten confirmed, with a few outstanding, and a few other possibilities after that.
Just a quick note that my team name has changed this year to Little Machines.
LT's in, too. That makes 11. One more and we'll have our quorum, but odds are still good we'll end up rolling with 14 again.
If anyone's on the fence about joining the league, this is the best chance for newcomers to make the cut since the league's first year.
Let me send Sleezy a PM. He may not know theres no Jungle.
He seemed fairly disillusioned with fantasy football last year, so I'd be surprised if he wanted to play again. But who knows, maybe a break brought the itch back.
I totally get the sentiment, though: football's pretty random, and it can be pretty annoying to build a great team and then lose on one bad week.

It hurts to fail. 2 finals in a row I took it on the chin, and last year....lost by 1.32 points?! Now that was just mean.
Ive been rocking 4-6 leagues a season until this one. I really hope I draft well since this will be my only team. Really, really hope. :laugh:
Okay, bumping this one more time before we start to settle on everything next week.
Also, a note: a couple of regulars in the money league can't make it this year, so there's a chance we won't have enough owners this year. If you're at all interested, PM me (http://www.movieforums.com/community/private.php?do=newpm&u=1). :)
Should I contact Spudracer? Tater maintains his roster at least.
Im no Belichik fan but...

:lol:
I've got Spud's info already, but the last couple of times I inquired he seemed pretty busy with other stuff. Up to you, but either way I'll be sending a message to the league as a whole on Monday. Everyone's being really lax about confirming involvement, even people who I'm 90% sure want to play again, so I'm gonna make it clear we really need a) a roll call and b) a couple additions if we wanna play again this year.

Hes been in the Jungle but now that its kaput he may reconsider, Ill message him.
He said if he doesnt get a promotion next week he'll be interested. So we'll know then.
That's a funny response. :laugh: Thanks. Hopefully we'll get a lot of owner retention and maybe add one more and get to 10.

Ok, you've twisted my arm. I'll play.
I did my first mock last night, and went 6th in a 12 man draft. What grade would you all give this group? :)
QB Aaron Rodgers
WR Golden Tate
WR Kelvin Benjamin
RB Adrian Peterson
RB Doug Martin
TE Delanie Walker
Flex Emmanuel Sanders
Don't even know, I haven't done any mocks yet. Probably depends on settings, but it looks pretty good in both normal and PPR, I'd say.
Im looking at the first round draft picks, and almost half the people I dont know who they are. Doubt Id want to pick Todd Gurley over AP :nope:
1. Antonio Brown
2. OBJ
3. David Johnson
4. Todd Gurley
5. Julio Jones
6. Ezekiel Elliott
7. DeAndre Hopkins
8. Rob Gronkowski
9. Adrian Peterson
10. Lamar Miller
11. AJ Green
12. Dez Bryant
Okay, I think we're good on owners, with a full 14. I'll confirm in the next day or two.
We're tentatively looking at August 27th for the draft date. I'll start a thread soon. We have way less wiggle room than years past so there's a really good chance that's going to have to be the date no matter what, but we'll see. Hope it works for most owners.
August 27 sounds great. Want to shave a day of waiting off for waivers? :) Figured Id bring it up now before we start.
Seriously, could we shave a day off the waiver time? :) Didnt know if there were any objections to that.
Want to predetermine draft order? Am ready to do some Mocks. You could basically say Im in training now. :D

I'd be fine with either of these things, but I wouldn't be fussy if we didn't.
NOTICE: one of our ostensibly returning owners, Cole416, hasn't replied to my PMs and hasn't been on for a few weeks.
If someone wants to swoop in and grab the last owner spot, you can do it right now and get in. But let me know ASAP!
When you say waiver time, did you mean trade processing time?
