Junk Drawer-8/2-Fantasy Football

A new day requires a new junk, but really I'm making this fanpost for selfish reasons. I'd like to have a Blazers' Edge Fantasy Football league and I want 2 posts in the recommended section.
I like 10 team standard scoring ESPN leagues, but you certainly don't have to join mine if you like other formats. So far, Dirty Socks, phillyduck23, The Penguin, EvilKaramazov, cloudydays, rip city coming alive, vullkem116 and L-trainFTW are in which leaves 1 open spot. The 8 of you should email me at xcrunningfool@hotmail.com so I can send you the invites.
Any level of experience in fantasy sports is welcomed, but I will ask that you be as active as possible in the league. There's nothing worse than a league where half the owners aren't even playing. So, first come first serve, just express your interest in the comment section.
For those of you not interested in fantasy football, you can talk about Michael Vick.
Update: I know there is a fanshot that is talking about advertisements on NBA jerseys, but I thought I'd bring this discussion to the JD and change the poll accordingly. How do you feel about logos and advertisements on NBA (non summer league) jerseys? Specifically, how would you feel about the Blazers doing this?

Pick Em League
I’m trying to organize an Online NFL pick em league if anyone is interested. I don’t have all the details finalized as of yet, but so far I’m thinking 5 dollars a week per player. 4 dollars from every player goes into the weekly pool. 1 dollar carries over and goes into a pool for the season winner.
reply with your email if you are interested.

I haven't created it yet, but I'll help you out
basically, when I do create it, I send out email invitations to everyone who wants in. You follow the link and it lets you join the league
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
I play fantasy NBA
But I don’t do nuthin’ else. Of course, I only watch and care about the NBA, so that makes sense that I’d only indulge in fantasy basketeering.
well then
dirty socks and I have a league for you…….in 3 months
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
YAY!!
I’ve won two years in a row in randomly joined Yahoo fantasy leagues. I don’t take it super serious, just for funsies.
I was 3rd last year
and played 2 leagues this season when I was 1st and 2nd, so if I extrapolate this clearly I’ll be getting zeroth place next season and then negative places after that
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
I had two teams this recent season
I only like having one team to “keep it fair” and to not make it too big of a time waste, but I had two because I missed the draft for the first one and I hate not picking my own team.
The computer picked team still got 2nd place, after I did some trades and waiver pick ups… but it was still basically a team the computer picked, which shows how skilled one must be to win at fantasy. Just let the ’puter do it!
what do you mean keep it fair?
I don’t have multiple teams in one league. They’re in difference leagues.
Also, the computer rankings are based on the staff rankings and the fantasy staff is probably more knowledgeable than the average player.
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
By 'keep it fair'
I guess I mean I don’t wanna have 10 different teams, and when one actually does well it means nuthin’ cause it’s just bound to happen if ya got enough teams.
I keep my achievements “fair” by keeping it to one team. And “fair” to myself, so I don’t waste more time than I need to.
The computer rankings on Yahoo are whiggety whack and often based on last year’s stats, so I don’t like them picking me team.
I didn’t mean anyone has two teams in one league; that’d be lame.
I would do that too
I know nothing about individual football players, especially on defense and extra teams except for some stars. Sometimes I remember “oh yeah, I heard about that guy” when watching a game. Same in baseball. I could only win thanks to dumb luck, or going along a list that some ESPN fantasy expert has set up.

excellent
6 spots left, I’ll edit the post to reflect this
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
never done espn (yahoo for 4 years)
do you need my email or you just gonna post a password at some point?
I'm pretty sure it's email invites
when we get all 10 people I’ll just post my email and you guys can all email me, that way there are fewer email addressed being posted
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
I'm pretty sure they have in-league trophies
or I suppose we could make a fan shot and the winner can brag
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
The winner should get
to meet Brandon Roy
Make it happen KP!!!

A three-pointer is not a "triple." A triple is a hit in baseball.
A three-pointer is not a "trey." A trey is either an ESPN sportscaster or something that bad spellers eat cafeteria food on. - Dave on Mar 20, 2009 10:00 PM PDT
A trey is actually a playing card or die or domino having three pips. - pipgras on July 31, 2009 9:22 PM PDT
I love how the win prediction thread turned into an injury prediction thread
I've been out combing the High Schools all day!
Did we ever figure out who this was?
I think I want to take another break. I always get sick of this place in August. I think I’m going to challenge myself to lose 10 lbs before I comment again or when training camp starts. BEdge minutes? If I had to put money on it, I’d wager on training camp.
I’m not mad or anything, I just know I will be in about two weeks, and I hate when I spend 95% of my BEdge time in the Junk Drawer and I’ve read every comment an within an hour. I’m still on gmail if folks want to talk about farts, poop, or basketball.

later tom. maybe though you could think of some kind of punishment for posting instead . that way you can still participate in conversations while also bettering yourself. on example would be forcing yourself to do 10 push ups for every comment you post. then after one day increase it to 11 push ups and so on and so forth. now i know that’s not possible at work but just try to do it when you’re at home.
Love.
You got that big fame homie, and you just changed on me
You can ask big homie, man the top so lonely I I I…

There was a brawl between Italy and Canada in a basketball test match. Tom Ziller has all the details and video over on FanHouse
In the middle of it: Stefano Mancinelli, who the Blazers reportedly had interest in a few weeks ago (doesn’t make that much sense, he is another forward). Bargnani and Belinelli mostly kept to the side.

I could have sacrificed goin' out
To think my homies who did it, I used to joke about
From now on I'ma use self control instead of birth control
Cause $315 ain't worth your soul
$315 ain't worth your soul
$315 ain't worth it
Let’s begin… what, where, why, or.. when
will all be explained.. like instructions to a game
see, I’m not insane, in fact… I’m kinda rational
when I be asking you, “Who is more dramatical?”
this one.. or that one… the white one or the black one
pick the punk… and I’ll jump up to attack one

She thought my name was Barry, I told her it was Gary
She said she didn’t like it, so she chose to call me Barry
She said she’d love to marry, my baby she would carry
And if she had a baby, she’d name the baby Harry
Her mother’s name is Baby, which is really quite contrary
Her face is really hairy, and you can say that it’s scary
"...the primary focus of all obstacles is to induce labor, so progression can be born." - LiL C
….I can see Rosa’s cantina below.
My love is strong, and it pushes me onward.
Down off the hill… to Felina I go.
Off to my right, I see five mounted cowboys;
Off to my left, ride a dozen or more.
Shouting and shooting, I can’t let them catch me.
I have to make it… to Rosa’s back door.
Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel
A deep burning pain in my siiiiiii—iiiiiide.. .
Though I am trying
To stay in the saddle,
I’m getting weary,
Unable to ride.
But my love for
Felina is strong, and I rise where I’ve fallen,
Though I am weary, I can’t stop to rest.
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle.
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest.
From out of nowhere Felina has found me,
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side.
Cradled by the two loving arms that I’ll die for,
One little kiss and Felina…. good-bye

Guess what I heard the other day? Another classic country story song
North to Alaska by Johhny Horton
"My avatar picture is of the favorite vehicle I ever owned" -Me
Here ya are Idol
I was takin a trip out to L.A.
Toolin along in my cheverolet
Tokin on a number and diggin on the radio
Just as I crossed the Mississippi line
I heard that highway start to whine
And I knew that left rear tire was about to blow
Well the spare was flat and I got uptight
Cause there wasn’t a filling station in sight
So I just limped on down the shoulder on the rim
I went as far as I could and when I stopped the car
It was right in front of this little bar
Kind of a red-neck lookin joint called the Dew Drop Inn
I stuffed my hair up under my hat
And told the bartender that I had a flat
And would he be kind enough to give me change for a one
There was one thing I was sure proud to see
There wasn’t a soul in the place except for him and me
He just looked disgusted and pointed toward the telephone
I called up the station down the road a ways
He said he wasn’t very busy today
And he could have somone out there in just about 10 minutes or so
He said," Now, you just stay right where yer at!"
And I didn’t bother to tell the darn fool
That I sure as hell didn’t have anyplace else to go
So I ordered up a beer and sat down at the bar
When some guy walked in and said, “Who owns this car
With the peace sign, the mag wheels and the four on the floor?”
He looked at me and I damn near died
And I decided that I’d just wait outside
So I laid a dollar on the bar and headed for the door
Just when I thought I’d get outta there with my skin
These 3 big dudes come strollin in
With one old drunk chick and some fella with green teeth
Now the last thing I wanted was to get into a fight
In Jackson Mississippi on a Saturday night
Especially when there was three of them and only one of me
I was almost to the door when the biggest one
Said, “You tip your hat to this lady, son!”
And when I did, all that hair fell out from underneath
They all started laughin and I felt kinda sick
And I knew I better think of something pretty quick
So I just reached out and kicked old green teeth right in the knee
Now he let out a yell that’d curl yer hair
But before he could move I grabbed me a chair
And said “Now watch him Folks cause he’s a fairly dangerous man!”
“You may not know it but this man is a spy.
He’s a undercover agent for the FBI
And he’s been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan!”
He was still bent over holdin on to his knee
But everybody else was looking and listening to me
And I laid it on thicker hand heavier as I went
“He’s a friend of them long haired, hippy-type, pinko #&$^s!
I betchya he’s even got a commie flag
tacked up on the wall inside of his garage.”
“He’s a snake in the grass, I tell ya guys.
He may look dumb but that’s just a disguise,
He’s a mastermind in the ways of espionage”
“Would you believe this man has gone as far
As tearing Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars.
And he voted for George McGovern for President.”
They started lookin real suspicious at him
He jumped up and said “Now just wait a minute Jim!
You know he’s lying I been living here all of my life!”
“I’m a faithful follower of Brother John Birch
And I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church.
And I aint even got a garage, you can call home and ask my wife!”
Then he started saying somethin bout the way I was dressed
But I didn’t wait around to hear the rest
I was too busy moving and hoping I didn’t run outta luck
When I hit the door I was making tracks
And they were just taking my car down off the jacks
So I threw the man a twenty and jumped in and fired that mother up
Mario Andretti wouldda sure been proud
Of the way I was movin when I passed that crowd
Coming out the door and headed toward me at a trott
Now I guess I should of gone ahead and run
But somehow I just couldn’t resist the fun
Of chasing them all just once around the parking lot
I had them all out there steppin and fetchin
Like their heads was on fire and their asses was catchin
then I figgered I had better go ahead and split before the cops got there
When I hit the road I was really wheelin
Had gravel flyin and rubber squeelin
And I didn’t slow down till I was almost to Arkansas
I think I’m gonna reroute my trip
I wonder if anybody’d think I’d flipped
If I went to L.A., via Omaha
"My avatar picture is of the favorite vehicle I ever owned" -Me
almost missed this one!! great song
but this line sparked it.. no idea what this song is even called..
“I had them all out there steppin and fetchin
Like their heads was on fire and their asses was catchin”

fantasy football
I would love to be in the league. I have played for four years and it is awesome. Also ESPN is way better than yahoo so those of you who have only played on yahoo you are in for a treat. I would make one suggestion. with the default scoring things tend to be pretty slanted toward the RB position (makes the person with the best RB’s really hard to beat) I have found that giving a 0.5 points per reception evens things our a bunch (receivers /tight ends and running backs that get lots of receptions are now good as well as the usual RB and QB)
just a suggestion and I would love to play anyway you set it up.
I was out of the thread for a while, so I'm just pressing Z to get to new comments
anyway, yeah, love to have you in the league and I’d be more than happy to discuss scoring changes. We can get the league members to vote on what they want without getting too far away from the basics.
You are the fifth
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
I could be in..
I like fantasy football. But I’m just going to make several ridiculous trade proposals and ditch out on my team as soon as I forget to fill my roster and I lose one week. So, your call there.
Peep the sig.
ridiculous trade proposals are fine
but can we avoid the ditching?

Actually I retract that statement.
They haven’t been awful in the last decade in terms of draft picks. A few errors here and there but that’s par for the course.

This is tough enough that I will give you a hint,Ritchie Havens covered this tune
by southern oregon on Aug 2, 2009 11:23 AM PDT reply actions
I loved Richie Havens version of "Here Comes the Sun".
"Aneurysm".
When Outlaw wins a game on a last-second shot, it’s called an "annthefaneurysm". QualityPie
I cheated
But came up with this (you should probably cheat too)
You wore a little cross of gold around your neck
I saw it as you flew between my reason
Like a raven in the night time when you left
I wear a chain upon my wrist that bears no name
You touched it and you wore it
And you kept it in your pillow all the same
My high-flying bird has flown from out my arms
I thought myself her keeper
She thought I meant her harm
She thought I was the archer
A weather man of words
But I could never shoot down
My high-flying bird
The white walls of your dressing room are stained in scarlet red
You bled upon the cold stone like a young man
In the foreign field of death
Wouldn’t it be wonderful is all I heard you say
You never closed your eyes at night and learned to love daylight
Instead you moved away

You're in and you make 6
I think we’ll have varying levels of talent, some new folks and some veterans. I won my league last year, so you’ll have some competition.
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
ya i won my league last year too
it was a keeper with all offense(including 2qb like 3/4 rb and 4/5 wr) and full defense, shoot there were even coaches and punters. this league may be pretty tough, which is good it could be like the real nfl
r u asking about my keeper league?
cause that i think is either not happening this year(crummy league manager) or is full
ill joim if there still is room
i’m also gonna take a Bedge-cation starting today. Now seems like the best time to take a break…

"Denver Stiffs" seems like a strange name
So I did a little digging and found this. So now I know where the name came from. Live and learn.

Question: Which Denver is gonna show up next season…….the 08/09……or 07/08? Maybe something else? Beats me
"My avatar picture is of the favorite vehicle I ever owned" -Me
I don't think they will be better than last year
They might further grow together as a group, lost a pretty good wing defender, added some more front court depth. We will see. I think playoffs again, but first or second round exit.

Could be tight with Utah and Denver, like last year. And the others have improved as well.

Feels about the same most every day.
Speeding down the fast lane,
Playin’ from town to town.

The wind and storms are raging high and it’s awful cold
My mind drifts back to you sweetheart and I love you so
Now you’ve gone and left me here to travel this lonesome road
I remember dear not long ago you said you’d be my own
I never thought you’d go away and leave me all alone
The kind of love you had for me I find sweetheart grows cold
For now you’ve gone and left me here to travel this lonesome road
All I do is roam around and look for you my dear
I know I’ll search ten thousand miles oh how I need you here
You broke my heart you left me here now I’m growing old
Why did you go and leave me here to travel this lonesome road

Peter Green from the original Fleetwood Mac band

Musicians always have the cool stories of being found in the gutter. Nobody would pick me up to give me a new start and a lot of money :-(

If you're one of the people who wanted to join the league....
I created it today. Email me at xcrunningfool@hotmail.com with fantasy football in the title and include your screen name. I’ll reply to you with the league invitation.
This way I’m only posting my email which already gets tons of spam instead of a bunch of people posting emails.

They have the media lab that also does a lot for robotics and other IT and tech innovations. I’d love to just be there for a while and talk to people.
"I'm addicted to polo y'all...respect my fresh" - Travis25Outlaw
yes.. and probably a neural networks lab, too
The New England Complex Systems Institute is a great org that works with MIT at issues like these, too. They offer great lectures and week seminars that I got to be a part of as part of my Ph.D. in Systems Science (we also had a small robotics lab at PSU).
Some of the coolest stuff to study… great conversations to have if simulations and modeling in any aspect are you interests.

You’re probably more likely to be in the league than you think. So yes, please do send an email. You’re welcome in the league as long as you’re active.

So I just happened to be at Concordia Coffee today
and this kick-ass band was playing, and lo and behold, who is rocking the virtuoso guitar?
Our very own appel82. Ever see that Ralph Macchio movie where he duels the devil? It was kind of like that. I bought their album and signed up to be a groupie, and Joey even took his shirt off during one of the solos. You should all go to his next show (he promises to be shirtless again).

and i wouldn’t totally rule out a shirtless appel82. bedge ballers can attest to his manliness.

The Penguin, rip city coming alive and vullkem116 should email me ASAP for their invites. GustyJ is the first on the wait list if any of those 3 don’t join. Cloudydays, I sent you an invite, but you haven’t accepted.
Anyone else interested in joining the league could still get a spot if those other guys don’t email me soon.

Did anyone see this nugget on Dwight’s blog?
Hmmm. Television and radio in Seattle. I wonder if that persistent rumor is true — that Portland’s trying to lure former Sonic play-by-play man Kevin Calabro onto its broadcast team in some role. One of the best in the business, Calabro refused to follow the team to Oklahoma City.
optimism ftw
I wonder if Calabro would be willing to boot Mike Rice out of the booth
That would be a reason to listen to Blazer games.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....

Calabro and Antonio Harvey were paired to announce many of the
Summer League games. They spent a LOT of time talking about how much they love working together. I was wondering then if something along those lines would happen.
