Dude, how can you keep track in that many leagues? And with that many teams you must be cheering for and against guys on each team?

Dan's my friend, did he do something wrong? Well, other than forgetting to switch out Hightower last week? I mean, the guy is 2-2 (I'm only 1-3). I mean if it really is a problem, or if everyone wants, I can talk to him about handing over his team. He did join last year for an absent league member, and I did push him to re-up this year since we were short members again this year.
No need to kick him out, but as we had this problem last year, it's better to have active members in the fantasy league than to be that one guy who lost to the team that only started seven players that week and still got creamed.
It's reasonable to lose to an invisible stranger halfway across the country, but to lose to an automatic and stale roster? That stings just a bit more (just ask TT.)
Do you have a way to message him, ero? Perhaps he still likes his chances, or maybe he'd like to trade for some benched players on my team to get motivated again.
One thing is for fucking sure, next year I'm going to have to check out Bye weeks...This is the second week in a row my roster has been blown out of the water with guys not playing...I have gaps all in my Starters and 3 of the 4 players on the bench are on Bye...I have to do a trade just to get a guy to stick in the roster, even though he might not even play man...Fuck...
Man, I have to hear this now? Now I have an excess of tight-ends!
What's going on, you ask? (for erokero, in my CBS league, I also own Chris Cooley, picked up Owen Daniels and Brent Celek last week, and now I'm wondering what kind of deals to swindles, if any... and yes, it's really a daily task that take up way too much of my minimal free time to maintain 8 different leagues, and still make at least 2 free agent pickups a week in each of them)
Well, as you may or may not know, I accepted a trade earlier in AFElite with team Semi-Pro in which I ship Jason Witten for Steven Jackson. Know this: it was he who proposed this one.
Now, for those that may or may not know, that is an exceptional value on my part. Getting a potential top-5 running back in exchange for only a potential top-5 TE is worlds away a difference in maximizing your roster.
Only problem is, he wasn't feeling trading me back his bye-week TE in Gates. So... I got desperate. I shopped, hard.
Now, as I just got back my connection, and three trade proposals later, two of them got accepted, and now I have two capable TEs where, then, I had none.
(unless you don't want to check the logs, TT traded me Cooley for McGahee, and Kumicho traded me Vernon Davis for Roy Williams.)
I'll get in touch w/ Dan this week and get his butt in gear, or have you guys find someone else. He's like you running multiple leagues so he may have forgot?
But IO, I'd have to say you're the odds-on fav, baring injuries, for the title. IMO you got the better end of each trade and don't really have any weak areas. Unless you run into a massive bye week blunder.
I actually like my team for the most part, but again injuries are killing me, and even hurting my healthy guys. (See Wes Welker's effect on Brady). And I'm pretty sure my slow start will end up killing me. But alas, I'm hitching my wagon onto DL's "Golden Boy" and hope he can drag me hopefully to at least 4th place.... maybe a name change will help?
Yeah, I have got plenty of good and "punny" names for you to adopt. Do you have any Redskins players?
Softcore Zorn (good allusion to thei anemic offense, and the very eclectic head coach... "staying honest, acting medium")
Forgetting Brandon Marshall (headache for Broncos in preseason, if he's on your team, everyone will laugh, even moreso with your new team name)
what else have I have I got...
The People vs. Larry Fitz (play-on-words on the film "The People vs. Larry Flint", look it up)
Breaston Show ("Best in Show")
Boldin the Beautiful
A Good Day to Addai
Victrorious Secret
Palmer... I Harldy Know Her (I totally spaced on this one, and I even picked up Palmer off waivers two weeks ago, damn, and he was on my team last year too!... How coincidental is that? I should get on changing my team name whenever he's the starter)
No Punt Intended
Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood (for whoever owns Aaron Rodgers)
BreesE like Sunday Morning (for whoever owns Drew Brees)
14 going on Forte (you get the picture)
Haha, thanks for the suggestions. I think I'll stick w/ P's and Q's, after all, half my team has one or the other stuck to their name for game status...
I got in contact w/ Dan and he said he'd be more vigilant.
So long as you were here, I guess i'll post a link. It's more NFL-oriented than fantasy, but it seems this thread is where most of the looks are going.

:laff: That's what you said last year.
I just heard on the radio that Braylon is now with the Jets. Is that in improvement?
GASP! Am I becoming redundant? As for Breylon. The guy has all the talent in the world but does he have the desire to play football. Really the trade could go either way.

Hey Ero he's not just my Golden Boy...he's EVERYONE'S Golden Boy. Just listen to this song but substitute "Brady" for "FLash".
