cn3wton Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 The time zones have me all kinds of confused now. However, no matter the time I will still kill it in this draft...WHILST in traffic! Geno Smith #1 pick...trust me! J-E-T-S JETS! JETS! JETS! (everyone is happy and hopeful before the season starts...) Just don't go getting caught. Where I am (new york) using your phone while driving is like a serious offense. 1 Quote "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." - J.R.R Tolkien "Progress, not perfection."

cn3wton Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Yea...shitty part about Chicago traffic, is that while I will be in the car, I likely won't be doing much driving. Ah well that's that then. I feel like making a really nerdy joke about it being "fantasy football" and where are all the fantasy characters. But I feel that's a bit too far... I'm excited to start learning more about the game though. I've always wanted to learn more (than just the basic positions etc) and I think this could be a good step in the right direction. My dad is also super excited that I am doing it. We played alot of the last Madden together. It's kind of a father son bonding thing. He absolutely sucks at video games, and I knew nothing about football. So he could sort of make good plays that I could never stop. And I could run like a wildman.

AlexCold Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Also, FYI to all. It will say "Your league is drafting now" DON'T PANIC! That just means the draft board is setup, and you can jump in. It will start at 4pm MST though, so make it in time if you can. I'm picking 5th! 1 Quote Pinterest: Alex's Paleo Wins - Recipes on Pinterest Instagram: alexcold23 MFP: dalex916 Link to comment

cn3wton Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Yahoo is making fun of my team lmao, which after my few attempts at playing FF I'll take as a good sign There was an opening video to the draft. Mine was like 20 seconds long. It was basically like... "Oh... you have last pick... this years gonna be rough. But don't worry it's still everybodys ball game." Pretty sure everybody elses videos had something along the lines of "Cheer up at least you aren't picking last!"

cn3wton Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Wow Yahoo FF, thanks for sticking in the knife and twisting... Draft SummaryPutting together a decent team, Dunedain didn't want to show up the NerdFitness FF League and build some unbeatable juggernaut. They instead focused on building a team with a good chance to make the playoffs. Humbly, they are expected to finish in fourth-place in NerdFitness FF League at 9-4-0 (1,208 points). They didn't target any one position early, selecting QB Colin Kaepernick (42nd overall), RB Marshawn Lynch (14th), WR Emmanuel Sanders (43rd), and TE Greg Olsen (70th) within the first five rounds. They built the highest-scoring RB pair in the league, as they added DeMarco Murray and Lynch. ScheduleDunedain should drop off the grid during Week 4. They have five players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Taking a look at the entire season from start to finish, they have one of the weakest slates. Along with having the fourth-easiest overall schedule, Dunedain has the second-most difficult last four games of the season. Actually after reading all of your grades I don't feel quite as bad. Not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing though... Quote "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." - J.R.R Tolkien "Progress, not perfection."

Frost of the Gloaming Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 My hope is that the gamble that I took by drafting Kelvin Benjiman pays off; he's a big target so I'm hoping for a lot of red zone touch downs from him. Which would also boost Cam Newtons stats, so win-win 1 Quote Between a rock and a hard place, use our finger nails to climb, it's all we know..........
