BFTB Fantasy Football Drafts

by John Gennaro on Sep 7, 2009 9:51 AM PDT Comment 28 comments

Just a reminder to everybody, it's time for the BFTB Fantasy Football leagues to start! Each league will be drafting over the next two days (dates and times below) and be ready for the start of the NFL season on Thursday night.

These will be LIVE DRAFTS and you're going to want to be there. Not only will there undoubtedly be good trash-talking going on, some of the members of the leagues have already noted that the Flea Flicker player rankings are a bit.....off. So if you don't show up, chances are your auto-drafted team will have some gaping holes in it.

League: Bolts From The Blue

Draft: Wednesday, September 9th at 9pm EST (6pm Pacific)

League: Bolts From The Blue 2

Draft: Tuesday, September 8th at 9pm EST (6pm Pacific)

I'm relying on you guys to show up, pick good teams and participate throughout the season. If people start quitting on their teams (and doing things like starting a QB on a bye week), it'll be less fun and I probably won't do it again next season.

So, figure out what league you're in and clear your schedule. This should be fun.

I'm pretty hypede

about the league. The interface on fleaflicker seems cool and winning a 24 team league is some good bragging rights.

Lets do this.

"I don't feel this team can beat us four times," Mo Williams 5/21

John do I have to give you the how to use BFTB link?

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this blog is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on our souls.

I didn’t realize until after I hit post.

Crap

I wished I signed up for this.

I will try my best to make the draft

But my internet has been VERY unreliable this past week and has already cut out half way through another fantasy draft the other day. Hopefully the problem is solved by then (or at least manages to hold itself together for an hour).

Rest assured, I’ll be managing my team through my phone if I have to, but if I miss the draft it’s because of this and not a lack of interest. Just wanted you to know!

Only problem is

alot of the slots have been filled by passing non-charger fans just filling the spots to be dicks. Hopefully that isn’t he case but it looks like it happened in a few cases.

Yeah

I would consider evicting the ‘Chargers Suck’ team in favor of JollyWaffle.

Does anyone else's feelings besides Brian's and mine matter?

True

I got your e-mail!

Thanks so much! This’ll be great! Do I sound too excited?!? Yes I do! I’ll stop!!

Hmmm..

With a 24 team league, it’s going to be almost a guaranteed loss when our qb has a bye week. This should be fun though, you definitely have to know your stuff to do well.

24

Cant wait…
Ill be there John. Ive been part of many drafts but this will be the most challenging with 24 freaking teams.
Go Bolts….Go ME!

There’s no more spots open, so this shouldn’t matter. Sorry.

My possible conflict has been resolved...

Had my baby girl (our first) Friday morning, so will be ready for the draft Tues night.

nice!!!

girls are the only way to go, I’ve got two of ‘em myself. Remember, just because they’re girls doesn’t mean you can’t teach them WWF moves in the living room.

Mine is just getting her drivers license.

Enjoy.

Congrats!

The only downside to having a girl is you can’t name it after you and then give the kid a cool nickname like Philip “Gunner” Rivers (future QB of the Chargers).
