Just got moved to Iowa.  Wisco is firmly in the rear view mirror.

Did I just get the last spot in the league?  This is awesome.  I'm ready to party.

Wait, you're not dead?

I was going to post a whatsits on my whereabouts when I left on the 31st, but I ended up boxing up my computer on the 30th.  I think the story got some run on the HJE Shoutbox but I dunremember, its been a hectic month!

Iowa? Who the hell would want to live there?

Someone who has lived in Wisconsin!

Since we're breaking up into 2 leagues, then I'd say 14 should be the max. 

If there's more demand for the H2H league, I wouldn't mind taking on a few more.  If that's too many, 14 is A-OK!  I was about to suggest reserving a spot for Head Moran but it appears he's taken care of.  I think he oughta be able to double dip, especially if Roto needs another guy to fill out the league. 

Lookin' good so far, folks!  I'm gonna be gone for the weekend, hopefully this clay mold takes form by the time I get back.

I prefer having one big gonzo league, but the feasibility of the idea is starting to wane.  I'm still all for it, but like JD said, we're seeing how much of a convoluted mess democracy can be.  If we need someone to take a hardline stance like Pre said, then its H2H 5x5 or bust, baby!

People would wind up drafting Edwin Jackson.

I got dibs like Kids got Ribs.

This baseball league is an example of why democracy doesn't work.  Or something. 

This statement is me too.

H2H
1. JD
2. SD

ROTO
1. Al's wax paper

Shit, by my original suggesting of JD being co-commish, I think I just outed myself from the position.  Fuck!

I'm sorta no longer giving a shit if I'm in this league or not. The whole idea's gone to pot.

Quote from: Chuckosan on January 24, 2008, 11:45:58 AM
Jesus fucking christ.  What is this, the Platypus league?

Make it a 5x5 league and be done with it.  Pick a service and a draft date.

These two statements are me, up and down.

I like how the rosters are shaping up.  The only sticking points that we all would have to agree on are:

--Using LF/CF/RF instead of OF/OF/OF (I prefer LF/CF/RF but I want your guys' approval)
--The # of SP vs. RP vs.  P (I prefer 5 SP but that won't work with this league, I think 4 SP, 1 RP, 1 P would work)
--The # of bench spots (I prefer longer benches, but, again, that probably won't work with this league). 

I personally like holds, and I do like using them in fantasy baseball, but I'm not sure if we can shoehorn them to fit with our league.  If we are going 5x5, they would be on the outside looking in.  If people aren't objected to adding OPS for hitters, then I could see H being added for pitchers.  I want us to go with the majority opinion.

I think we should go 3 SP, 1 RP 2 P. Give a guy flexibility if he wants to go balls out for holds and saves since his starters are teh suck or stack his starters if he's lucky enough to scour the waiver wire for some good ones.

The cut of the jib that you present is about as juicy as dribbled rib sauce down the ol' chin.  I LIKE.

How about the rest o'yas?

And, someone besides me try to convince Moran Mike D to play.  He'll give you excuses, but don't take 'no' for an answer.

Fuck that.  I've said it before--but I can only concentrate on one league at a time.  I just like to stop by and offer up my bullshit, free of charge.

Just as Oleg says, an excuse!  I mean, come on, my man.  If you can only concentrate on one league at a time, there would be no other league worthy of such concentration.  This is The League of Leagues, only for The Men of Men, to crown The Champion of Champions.  All other fantasy sports leagues, they ain't SNUFF compared to this. 

I see your "no" answer, but like Oleg says, we don't have to take it.  No, we ain't gonna take it!  We're not going to take it, anymore.

Commissioner?  I don't know.  BC really wants to do it and he's got the time.  His Commissioner Notes would be legendaryepicvery long and boring.  MikeC's a good commish.  Dan's a good commish, but he cheated in his ESPN league last year.  He'll deny it, but who ya gonna believe?  BK can vouch with me on it.  That's 2 against 1.  SD starts up a lot these things and he is very self-aware.  Personally, I think the commissioner should be whoever takes the time to make up the league and get the settings right.  I'm just guessin', but I bet that'll be SD.  Or ThrillhoCornfed. 

Or BC.

I'd be glad to take up the mantle of commish but it would be irresponsible of me to do so until I get this move finalized (Feb 1st give or take a few days).  Plus I would have to recommend Andy for the job first, and if he refused, I would have to receive his blessings for it.  I think Andy would prefer to have me get jumpkicked in the teeth by a moose rather than run a league with the Desipio name.  If he's down, then I'm down.  I would like to tab JD as a co-conspirator commish though cause he is the voice of the people.

As far as what JD says about the other stuff, I'm down with that too.  Let's get this ball a rollin'!

So, we got Dan who wants an AL and NL league.  Then we got me who wants just one big convoluted mess of a league.  Then we gots Pexaroo who wants dueling roto/H2H leagues.  This oughta be cookie-cutter simple to figure out, eh?

Oh, believe you me, I have grilled and plan on grilling that moran definitely a few times about this league.  I think I said before in a now-deleted thread -- this is The League of Leagues we're talking about here!

What the fuck, Oleg.  What the fuck!

since the thread was lost, i'll repost this suggestion. 
since the list is 24(ish) people long, how about two leagues?
maybe one NL only and one AL only, or just two leagues...
i suppose it could be done with 24 teams in one league but we would probably want smaller rosters.  who is the commish anyway?

That is not a bad idea
Dan.  I am just not entirely sure how the idea would be implemented, if we would have to
have a Desipio Raffle for league assignments.  Or maybe roll
dice or have a
rock-paper-scissors tournament.

I'm thieving JD's schtick where he thieves Dan's schtick.  GUH.

Honestly though, I'm not speaking for everyone, but I assume most folks would want to stick to one league for now, just for the brotherhood/camraderie/competition aspect of it.  If we split the leagues, then we would miss out on grand marqu(is)ee matchups such as ChuckDickens vs. Chuck, Andy vs. Andy Peck, Tonker vs. Oleg, and so forth.  Maybe this is something we can explore in future years?  For now, to establish the league's foundation, it might be best to consolodate all the morans into one big ol' moran-ass league.

I would like to attend this event. 

Sign up.  Again.  Bitches!

Shit yo, you folks know how to make a fella jealous!  I woulda taken up the offer if I was able to walk (regained that ability 2 days ago, re-lost it today, D'oh!).  The better man went, though.  But, shit, I so would have headbutted that picture instead of the knuckle-crackin' job it received.  Still, hats off to you gentlemen. 

Did some backreading and saw a bunch of panty-bunching.  Glad to see you guys are starting to sack up now.  Spares you guys my bitchin' ass rant that would have included a picture of Depends.  GO CUBS.

ALSO, GO DESIPIO FOOTBALL-ONLY SECTION, PLEASE!  PLEASE!  We got an underpopulated basketball section, but no football -- what up with that!  Yeah yeah, I know, Shut Up Simmer, You Are A Douche.  But, please!
