Fantasy Football: Let's Do This!

by Dave Cariello on Aug 13, 2009 12:00 PM CDT

Alright guys, it's time to get the ball rolling on Canal Street Chronicles' fantasy football!

Based on initial interest, I've had four Fleaflicker leagues set up for everyone to play. Each league will have twelve teams. Each league currently has one CSC member already signed up and acting as commissioner. That means we have a total of forty-four spots open for anyone and everyone. If demand warrants the creation of another league, we can do so. Here are the four leagues for you to choose from:

Canal Street Chronicles Premier League - Commissioner: Saintsational - Draft time: 8/31/09 7pm
Canal Street Chronicles Who Dat League - Commissioner: Satchmo26 - Draft time: 8/30/09 7:00pm
Canal Street Chronicles Black and Gold League - Commissioner: Big and Easy - Draft time: 8/20/09 7pm
Canal Street Chronicles Fleur-di-Lis League - Commissioner: DeuceIsLoose26 - Draft time: 8/30/09 4pm

All draft times are Central Standard Time.

The password to enter each of these leagues is "dachronic".

To join a league, simply click the link above and sign your butt up. If you don't have a Fleaflicker account, you'll need to create one first. It's quick and easy. Go ahead and choose a league with a draft time that best suits your schedule. If none of the leagues draft times works for you, well, I'm sorry. I did my best. Each league is independently run by it's commissioner but the rules will be the same throughout. Any talk about possible tweaks or modifications can be discussed within the leagues message system but keeping the status quo is strongly encouraged.

A special thanks to Satch, B&E and DIL for volunteering to be commissioner. You all owe them thanks as well because without them, there wouldn't be four leagues.

Good luck to everyone. And remember, the important part is to have fun.

Who Dat League

I’m open to adjusting the draft date and time if need be. I wanted to have the draft closer to week 1 so we’ll better know which players are worth drafting. Maybe I’m overthinking again. I hope we still have enough people to fill all these spots. I won’t be adjusting scoring rules or anything else from the Fleaflicker defaults. I like it just the way it is. If you have any suggestions for our league, just sign up and post a message there and we’ll discuss it. This is gonna be fun!

you're overthinking

I was going to torment you all season until I saw your draft date.

And I'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone.

Looks that way

I’m thinking I should move that draft date up a week. I was all geared up to take on Stu. Oh well. I think he just doesn’t want to face me again (just kidding).

Who Dat League DRAFT DATE CHANGED

In order to get all of our draft dates closer together, I’m changing it to Sunday, 8/30/09 at 7:00 PM CT. I don’t think my initial choice is gonna be very popular. Dave, can you please update the post?

i have joined

the dark side. just me and you for now. I thought about naming my team “The Winner” but I figured that’d make ppl not want to join up with us since they’d know they couldn’t beat me. So, I went with Saints Superbowl instead :D

Superbowl bound!!!...I hope? Go Saints! :D

by skinnykinney on Aug 13, 2009 4:10 PM CDT up reply actions

Cool!

Maybe we’ll get a full team after all. Just like Bill Parcels said about Tony Romo in 2006, we won’t “anoint” you just yet, unless you’re dating Jessica Simpson. I’d gladly call you “The Winner” if that were going on. :-) WHO DATS RULE!

I can't believe this

What’s McNabb think about it? Will that guy ever get the respect he deserves?

I seriously doubt they’ll be using him at QB, unless it’s an emergency. Kolb is already entrenched there. They’ll probably use him a ton of other ways, though.

I gunning for you, Satch

you knocked me out of the playoffs last year. Not again, buddy.

Uh oh! Big Steve is out for revenge.

I love fantasy football! Can’t wait till we lock horns, buddy. :-)

Speaking of revenge, DeuceIsLoose knocked me out of the playoffs last year. No chance for another shot at him this time, I guess.
