Calling all Fantasy Football refugees!

Okay, there’s only 8 months left until the season starts up again, so we really need something to occupy ourselves with in the meantime. In other words - I’m bored out of my skull, and need to find something to obsess about immediately.

Therefore, I present to you, Mock Drafts!!!

I did a bunch of these pre-season, and I think it really helped my team this year (top 4 in every one of my leagues). I’d previously been hovering around the middle or the bottom of the league. I’ve also spent some time around their message boards, but haven’t participated. They seem like a fairly xenophobic group, which is fine, but they have pretty short tempers. But I’d like to mock with some people I somewhat know. So, if you’re interested sign up, throw a “SDMB” at the end of your team name, and I hope to see you soon!

[sub]There’s a way to reserve an entire mock draft for people you know. I’m going to try to find out how, if there’s anybody else interested.[/sub]

Just posting so that when I do a vanity search tomorrow, this thread pops up to remind me to join when I have more time.

Yup, the SDMB has now become my official post it note.

I’m interested. This is a neat idea for us fantasy lunatics.

And just to let everyone know, it seems that the drafts are currently kind of messed up - it isn’t removing players that are picked. Makes things quite difficult.

i read this thread title and saw “Calling all Football Referees!”

at which point i was going to come in and make an amusing pun on the “are you f***ing blind referee” soccer chant.

then i come in and realise it’s about AMERICAN FOOTBALL.

you had to go and ruin my fun, didn’t you. :frowning:

I’m interested. What do I need to do, aside from registering there? Anything?

Ha, Munch, you did so well because everyone else sucked. Plus you became commissioner and changed the rules. I double dog dare you to put the rules back where you found them. Like individual defensive players. Team defense is for cowards who don’t fully understand the game.

I’m checking the rules out now. I’m in.

WL, just register and sign up for a regular Mock Draft. The SMDs (Serious Mock Drafts) have quicker turnaround times (9 hours per pick), but you have to qualify for them. I’m not sure if you can still do that. If you really want, you can e-mail Steve, the guy that runs things over there and ask him to qualify you.

The most important thing is to pre-draft. If for some reason you can’t get to a computer, and your time runs out, you’re put on Computer Control for the rest of the draft (you can still pre-draft on CC, though).

Shibb, individual defensive players suck, and so do the Hacks.

-Munch, utter coward

This is quite the resurrection, but I just wanted to let everyone know that AntSports seems to have moved to a new, reliable server. Still at the same site, though.

The mock I signed up for today has about 8 openings left, if anyone is interested.

What the hell, I’m in.

Look out Munch, looks like you’re playing for second now. :wink:

Hey Munch, check out the draft thread going over in Cafe Society. And just since I’m too lazy to click on the link (or reread the thread), is this to draft players for Fantasy Football, or a mock draft of the NFL draft? I don’t really care too much about the NFL draft this year, since Gruden and winning the Super Bowl has pushed us down to about the 93 pick to start with. A lot of quality talent there, I can tell you.

It’s Fantasy Football drafting.

As for the NFL draft, I think you can expect to see either Leon Johnson or Willis McGahee down there at #32. Tampa could really use another RB.

It’s not #32, it’s #32 in the THIRD round. Remember, Oakland got the 1st and 2nd draft picks for last year and this year.

And thanks for the clarification. I might even try it.

I’m trying to get in. Once I figure out how to.

Okay. I see. You divide every fifth word by 32 to get a square root, which allows you to jump high enough to get the ket which allows you to…HOW THE *^%@$(&^%#! Do I join this damn thing?

I’m in. I think.

There you are. See? Easy. Just 4 spots left, folks!

And just a reminder - pre-drafting is your friend. Also, you get 12 hours to make your pick, but if you time out, all you can do is pre-draft from there on out. Timing out certainly isn’t a sin, I’ve done it many times as I can’t log in at night. But by pre-drafting, you can stay at least one round ahead of everyone.

Would this draft be part of a Doper Fantasy League or are they seperate entities?

Completely separate, and just for fun.
