Back by popular demand, I have reactivated last years league to go again. We will auto draft as soon as we fill, same rules as last year. If you played last year, just log on to ESPN and you are already in the league. Just post here to acknowledge you are back in. If you played last year and would like to bow out, post as well. No harm no foul. New entries are open, but I need a post here and I will send an invite.

10 pack for the winner, 1 Super Premium for the All Star Break leader, and a couple dog rockets for the worst record, all sent to me up front so nobody gets shafted. Worked great last year), everybody paid.

Here is last years thread, the winnings were superb!!!

So far 7 or the 9 players last year have confirmed.  All teams are active now and in the league, you should be able to log in.

I will PM Stephen and Nick to see if they want to play.  Even if they do, we have at least one open spot if anybody is interested in joining, that would round us out to 10.  I will take in groups of 2 after that if anybody who is not in the league wants to join.  Just post up if you do.

Michael, can you clarify what we are sending to you? I understand the All-Star break cigar, and some deelish dog rockets for the toilet bowl champ, but what are we sending in for the league champ? You stated a 10pk for the league winner at the top of the thread, but that seems mighty low.  :confused:

We were sending a 10pk apiece, plus the 1 super premium for the All Star, and 2 or 3 dog rockets.  I split the lot of 10pks around 70-30 between the champ and runner up, so last year the champ got a little over 60 smokes and the runner up got about 30 I think since we had 9 players at ten sticks apiece.

OK, thank you for clarifying. I'd like to suggest a "wild card" prize for 3rd place.

100 cigars

60 to first place
30 to second place
10 to the wild card...aka third place...

Just a suggestion, since there are many changes coming to our beloved game, and we already have the wildcard, I figure, why not? I did not like the idea of the wild card when it first came out, but I've grown to love it...especially in 2002!! GO HALOS!!

If you need someone I'm happy to play. I've mostly stopped playing fantasy baseball this year, so might not be as competitive as year's past, but I know sometimes its hard to find bodies to run a league - so let me know and I'll be in.

If we lose Stephen and ebernabe and nkowal play, we have 9 again.  If we get one more or nkowal decides to sit out, we are back to an even number

Hello,

I just joined the site - but am a long time fantasy sports player and cigar smoker. Are there any spots left in your leagues? If so, count me in - send me the info link.

Thanks,

Thanks for the interest.  This is where we stand.  Since we send sticks ahead of time, not much risk in letting a newb play.  However, I am waiting on nkowal to decide to play.  If he is in, I can let you in and that puts us at 10, I will close and draft.  If he is out, I am trying to keep at even numbers so no bye weeks, so I would be closed at 8 unless someone else jumps in with you as well.  I have a feeling he will play, but we shall see.  I will update you guys as soon as I hear.

Disregard.  Nick PM'd me he is in, so Kevin you can play and we are at 10.  But as a newb, I need to get a jump on getting your prize packs out.  I will email you, as soon as you acknowledge and get back, we will get this done.

Thanks for the WARM FRIENDLY welcome..........LOL. GO AHEAD............bash on the newb..........its all good. After years of A$$ chewings and divorces.....there is nothing left for you guys to get except "SCAR TISSUE"...........I expect no less.

Now - on the distinct possibility that my Fantasy Team defeats your bunch of scrubs - well - I will revel in the plumbs of free quality smokes - washed down with Grey Goose shots, feet up on the brick fire pit at The Angus Barn - consuming Shrimp Cocktails and Pittsburg Rare 22oz prime cut Filet Angus Steaks - and not once will I feel sorry for you fellas'....

Game on..................

I am assuming we want to auto draft again this year.  So, I am going to shoot for a Tuesday draft day, get all of your pre-draft rankings done if you want to change them so this can go through and we all have set rosters a few days before Opening Day.  Any objections to Tuesday?
