I went ahead and put all of the users who said they were interested in playing fantasy football into a spreadsheet and sorted them based on their amount of comments and FanPosts. That seemed like the easiest way to put the leagues together, so that is how I determined who is in which league. The numbers actually worked out perfectly as far as how many leagues there will be. Based on the amount of people who said they were interested, the plan is to have four different leagues with 11 users and myself being in each.
After the jump you can find the full list of who is in which league. I will send out invites in the coming days, as I still have to setup the leagues and get them running. (The invite will be sent to the e-mail listed in your profile on POD, so if you use a different one, let me know.)

Thanks for asking the question before me
I should read the whole post.
Sean, playing in all 4 leagues, huh. Did you want to make sure you won 4 times this year?
by ATL Lion on Aug 11, 2009 10:22 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Lol
4 leagues is going to be quite the experience, but hey, the more teams, the better chance I have to win. ;-)

That's the right spirit
Although I’m not sure on the logic.
I root for the Tigers, Pistons, Red Wings and yes, the Lions.

too bad
you can’t have a playoffs of all the league winners. Then Sean if you win all the leagues you could play yourself for the ultimate championship.

I know it is early and all.....
But how will we determine the draft order? Is the draft order set by the lists that you provided?
by KDawg on Aug 11, 2009 12:44 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I am quietly laughing....
As I am quite sure there will be a major protest if it were to go down that way…..lol

Wouldn't be in the order that we enter the league?

The order will be randomly generated once the league is filled

I made playoffs last year in the main league and won my division
My guys then proceeded to choke mightily in the first round of the playoffs. I plan on doing better this year so you guys look out! Woo Woo!

and the amount i posted during draft weekend.

Wasn't there just one post in which you and I think detpistons3 commented like 150+ times?

You can be an alternate
In case one of the people doesn’t accept the invite quick enough.

I wondered where BennieBladesFan...
…was on that list?
Not that I don’t love me some fantasy football, but to get into a league with this group of know-it-all football crazies (and I mean that in a good way) would be bad for my health on Sundays. I can’t imagine the level of competition. Considering the wide range of opinions on how to properly build a team, I’m sure it’s very interesting to see how this group puts together a fantasy squad…or is it just like every other fantasy football league with everyone clammoring after Adrian Peterson?

I would expect that AP would be on the top of everyone's list.

Just so you know I changed my Flea Flicker name
It’s now ZWC11. So to not confuse people. Still the same email and account though.

Later the better for the draft....
Like 10pm…on any day of the week works for me.

Draft can be late any day except for the 20th and 25th...
Getting my wisdom teeth pulled on the 20th and going to the Creed concert on the 25th. All other days should be fine.
by ZWC11 on Aug 11, 2009 2:01 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I have a live draft for my Yahoo keeper league on Aug 29th.....
I am available pretty much any time and any day otherwise.
by KDawg on Aug 11, 2009 2:05 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ooops...
I guess I should have posted more instead of just reading everyday… oh well, if you’ve got any alternate spots I’d love to have one… otherwise I’ll have to look elsewhere for my fantasy entertainment.

I'd prefer it if the draft was late for you guys
that way, it would be in the morning for me.

Man, that main league is a veritable pantheon of POD legends
Can’t wait to get started.

I am a nice guy and everything...
so I will make a pledge to KDawg and Drews. I promise not to draft either Stafford or Culpepper. That way the both of you can draft your respected QB in the first round. And if the others in our league would like to make that same pledge. Please let us know.
by JCruize on Aug 11, 2009 9:36 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
That's very funny
I’ll go along with it.

I refuse to draft either QB
So it doesn’t matter.
by KDawg on Aug 12, 2009 12:34 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
HAHAHA
You go right ahead and draft Stafford buddy…..
I’d rather be a chicken than a dumbass (not saying you are a dumbass….lol). I do not see Stafford or Culpepper in the top 11 for QBs this year. If that makes me a chicken, then bucket…..:o)
by KDawg on Aug 12, 2009 4:15 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I wish I had a good retort...
but the fact is… it would be a dumbass move to draft either of them. I was just egging you on a little… ;o)

I saw your egg and raised you a hen....LOL
Glad to see that you CAN agree with me sometimes…..LOL!! joking…..

By the way..
for all in the Main league. What is your fantasy football experience? So I know whether or not to bring my “A” game. I myself have been playing for 14 years, Before on-line leagues. I have won championship in every league. Some were luck. I will admit. But overall I am a soild player.
by JCruize on Aug 11, 2009 9:43 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
To be honest
I’m pretty inexperienced. I’ve only been playing for about 3 years. In saying that, please don’t let it stop you from bring your ‘A’ game. It’s important to me that this league is legit since I’d really like to know how I could go against guys who are much better than me.

dont worry I was going
to bring it anyway….LOL
by JCruize on Aug 11, 2009 10:21 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Better bring your "A" game
I’ve won a few leagues in my day, but I have to admit that I have not played in two years… so I might be a bit rusty. It’s like riding a bike, though. I just have to beef up on my late rounders.
BTW… anyone know whether this is just a points league or yardage as well? IMO, there is a significant difference between the two. Sean?
by DrewsLions on Aug 12, 2009 11:29 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I have 15 years of concurrent fantasy experience
I have won championships in 8 of those 15 years…..sometimes in multiple leagues. To be honest, it is all about luck of the draw and a little bit of strategy when drafting. Your draft can make or break you, and you can have the best strategy in the world and still lose. It all depends on who is hot and who is not, and whether or not you drafted the hot players. Waiver wire claims are also huge, especially down the stretch.
Drew, I too would like to know what the scoring format is for this league. Is it PPR and yardage? Is it all offense with a team defense and a kicker or is it IDP?
by KDawg on Aug 12, 2009 12:39 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I agree that...
luck has a huge part in it. Injuries and a last place draft position can hurt you big time right out of the gates. Although, the skill is finding the later round gems and being quick on the waiver wire.

Im going the quiet way
sneak attack. When you least expect it
by Bratagin on Aug 11, 2009 10:18 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I will put up a post once the leagues are ready to go about draft times
Don’t do it now, but basically it will be for people to let me know when they can’t do the draft and what times are best. Later is better for me as well, so it’ll probably be later.

Sean...
As far as rules go, and player positions that need to be filled, etc…Is that something you can let is know now? Or will that all be there for us to read as soon as the invites are sent.

You will be able to see it once the league is setup
Also, as far as scoring rules and positions go, I plan on putting up a post for people to discuss any changes they think may be necessary.

Can you make a post or at least leave a comment
when the invites are sent… Sometimes Yahoo is super slow, that’s why I’m eventually switching to Gmail.

I will
I need to stop being lazy and just do it.
