I like later waiver processing. There I said it. 3 days to do blind bid instead of 2 is better imo.

As much as I hate to admit it, I agree with boogle.

And it's not as if there's five games on each Thursday...

Yep. Thurs is good.

This year I'm in an 8-team league and a 12 team league. Looking at my 8-team roster makes me feel terrible about my 12-team roster.

I am in favor of Thursday waivers. Wednesday just sneaks up on me too fast.

I hate having to decide which stud to start. I did an 8-team league last year (we expanded it to 12 this year), but we made it deeper by starting 3 WR, 2 RB and 2 flex positions. Played a bit more like a 10.

I love how on "The League", people outside of their group make fun of their 8-team league size.

I'm not a fan of the format so far. There's no reason to get interested in any players on the brink of breaking out. We had a 10 team league for like 4 years but 2 people flaked out and we didn't recruit extras.

EDIT: I just love that show.

Less than 12 sucks. It ends up being small enough the waiver competition isn't even fun and you rely too much on studs, IMO.

Agreed. 12 is the sweet spot, where you're not drowning in abundant talent, but you're also not spreading talent so thin that you feel like having the perfect draft spot is what makes you win or lose. In a 12-team league, I don't care where my draft spot is, but in a 16-team league, I'd probably think differently.

I do too. I ignored it for a few years. I had no idea it was as funny as it is.

I thought it was going to be Big Bang Theory for fantasy football geeks. It's a million times more clever (and bawdy) than that.

Every couple of weeks, I get the Yobogoya theme song stuck in my head for a couple of days and I need to watch that episode to fix it. Then I have to watch most of the rest of the first three seasons because I'm already on Netflix so why not. I didn't start watching it until the fourth season was almost over because it seemed like it would be stupid. I wish the fourth season would go up on Netflix so that I could keep up with the continuity.

It's up.

My non-GWJ league use to have 14 teams. I hated that. Hated. It.

OP updated, not that there's much to post this week.

Let the unsubstantiated trash talk begin.

My wife walks around singing "Fear Boner".

Yobogoya is great. 30 years from now, long after the show is forgotten, "Yobogoya" will still be my handy shorthand way of saying, "I'm about to go blow up the bathroom".

The people I'm facing have questionable morals and poor personal hygiene.

I feel like I should change my team name to something more clever.

That said, you're all going to die. In my manliness.

Re: The League.

I'm surprised I got my wife to watch but she loves it.

Everything Taco rules.

More Rafi!

How could I forget about Rafi? What's a good go-to Rafi quote?

Gattaca!

Really, most of what he says shouldn't be repeated.

"What's up, jerks? I am day drunk! Get ready to see my d*@#!"

"Crap the booze out." ... "Does it work?" ... "Kinda!"

Oh Carlbear... 23 first-half TE points on the bench in D1?

I have him in DII. I knew I should have started my 20th round pick TE over Jimmy Graham this week.

Haha. I'm just mad that Peyton is throwing to the wrong Thomas! :p

Not me! I'm going up against D Thomas in one money league, and Decker in another money league and DII. Keep throwing to whats-his-face TE guy!

By the way, I have Moreno in DII, as well. I mean, he doesn't look great, but at least he's on the field.
