08.12.17 | @harry not trying to be a dick but i don't know who you are; you're not a very active member of this community (396 comments in 3+ years). i want to extend you an invite but i dread having an inactive team. do you have a link to a fantasy profile or something?
@dbizz the league's already made. draft is set for sunday 8/27 @ 1PM ET, but subject to change depending on what works best for everyone. |
dctarga
08.12.17 | If you don't happen to get enough, I'll hop in. I'm probably less known than Harry but if I join a fantasy league, I definitely want to win that shit, so I wont be abandoning.
My one claim to fame, one of my old co-workers joined a league 3-4 years ago and had me run it for him because he didn't know football at all. Ended up winning the whole thing cause I picked up Beckham before he came back from his hamstring injuries, him and Gronk killed for me that season.
Also, all I do is sputnik and watch sports/play basketball now, so I got nothing better to do lol. |

08.12.17 | Don't do it guys, will take over your life. Also, don't do association football, I love it more but fantasy is boring in comparison, no draft/trading etc. |
Satellite
08.12.17 | @suppa baseball leagues are fun, but they're a bit of a grind because of how long the season is and the fact that teams play just about every day. i was in a keeper league for 5-6 yrs that was awesome but eventually fizzled out. haven't done one since.
i only do 1 league per season these days. makes it more meaningful imo. |

08.12.17 | need to watch more veep. just finished the leftovers. hbo go is ruining my life. |
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd
08.12.17 | Veep only gets stronger with each season.
Leftovers I think surpassed the point of weird outweighing good. |
Satellite
08.12.17 | veep has one of the most talented casts in a comedy series since arrested development.
i love the way the leftovers goes absolutely off the rails (e.g. the int'l assassin episode), but i understand not digging the direction it took. |
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd
08.12.17 | The "hotel" episodes were actually among my favorite moments of the series, but stuff like the guy with the hat on the pleasure cruise or his dad with the rain dance just went over the line for me where I couldn't see the point. |
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd
08.12.17 | But also you gotta get on Catastrophe if you haven't already... you'd prolly dig it. |

08.22.17 | UPDATE
treb's not gonna be able to make our current draft time, so let's try moving it up a day.
how does 3 pm eastern/noon pacific on 8/26 (THIS SATURDAY) work for you dudes? if that doesn't jibe w/ your sched, give me a time on that saturday that would work (include time zone plz).
let me know either itt or in the "D R A F T" thread in the league. my goal is to find a time that works for all 12 of us. |
DominionMM1
08.22.17 | that should work for me. thanks for the head up. |

Demon of the Fall
08.23.17 | 'is premier league fantasy fun? or fantasy for any other sport really. i've only played football.'
I'm a little late on this but...
I've been following 'European' football (let's try & differentiate here) for 20+ years & it's the sport I grew up watching the most but I don't bother with the fantasy side of it, mostly because it sucks. Maybe it's evolved but when I played everyone ended up with the same players & you could swap them in & out a will (as long as your budget allowed). Boring.
I've been following American football for about 5 or 6 years, the sport itself is interesting enough but I don't have the same connection with it, which is understandable. But fantasy? Hundred million times better. Drafting & all the tactical choices involved (plus I like planning/lists), all the added variation in points scoring, huge variety in rules/different formats, trading etc. |
Satellite
08.23.17 | okay, so it looks like 3ET saturday will work for at least 5/12 of the league. i'll ask the others.
@demon 100% agree with your last paragraph. it's the perfect fantasy sport. |
kris.
08.23.17 | i think i can do saturday. i'm doing a 5k earlier that day but i should be done by then. |

08.23.17 | DRAFT UPDATE #57673
alright guys, so balls isn't going to be able to make the current draft time. i still want to find a time that works for all of us. so let's do this: tell me what time(s) you're available to draft from saturday through monday (again, include time zone). i should have done this from the start, but as with the real league your commissioner is a fucking idiot. |

AlexKzillion
09.08.20 | gmember shoutboxed me a couple weeks ago asking me if I was running a sput league this year. Told him nah cause less than half the league was still participating past week 3 or so last year, (not to mention the multiple users who accepted my email invitations and then proceeded to forget they were even in the league from that point on). Figured covid likely taking out key players each week would compound the problem too so I was just like fuck it what's the point.
I really do believe a free sputnik fantasy league can thrive. If/when I run one in the future I definitely want to a) make a list every week documenting the goings-on of the league and b) really trying to give priority to the more active users on the site (and not letting sub-200 comment lurkers in just to fill spots). |
