It's not a bad idea, but it'd be real hard, if not impossible, to implement. Life happens, too. We don't want to get into the business of punishing and trying to figure out why guys aren't playing. We sure don't want any hard feelings over this stuff.
I think the bottom line is that there's guys that are really hard core about Fantasy Football, football in general, and enjoy the week to week betting. Most guys aren't. We're looking for a handful of guys who live, eat, sleep, and breathe this stuff. If guys are honest with themselves when they sign on, it isn't a problem.
We haven't had trouble finding guys that fit that profile and we only need one or two more to fill out the league. It won't be a problem. If for some crazy reason it is, I'd rather go with 8 guys than 10.

I'm trying to be very proactive this year to make sure we don't have any trouble. Fortunately it's been very easy, we've got an awesome group of guys!!!

Didn't hurt that you were able to pick up Arian Foster off of waivers...

At the time I was annoyed, sure, because that move had a butterfly effect on who made the Championship Game (you and Matt). Now? I couldn't care less.

we are full brothers! Hopefully this will be a great league.

So, in the spirit who wants to bet me a 5'er for the troops that Yahoo! will allow me to pick ahead of them in the 1st round? (BTW...The draft order will be randomly determined approximately 30 minutes before the draft begins...from our league's homepage) therefore this has to be completed at least 1 day prior to the draft (by this Friday)

Only going to do this once...so who wants to try and draw first blood?

Jeremy has played the last two seasons, Cole. He already has an invite.
Once I hear from two more guys I'll wrap this up. If we have to add two spots, then we will. So far we don't have to.

Jeremy! Sounds good, and sorry for jumping the gun. Oh yea, the bet listed above still stands.

[JenksAnejo]

Oh yea, the bet listed above still stands.

Let go and let God, brother. Life's too short to hold on to such trivialities.

Nice! The beginning of large troop boxes! Thanks Jarrod

[JenksAnejo]

Man, I'm freakin pumped about this league! I love leagues that are competitive and active. In our fantasy baseball league I have 150+ transactions so I stay very active.

This is going to be a lot of fun and most of all a great way to support our guys over seas. Good luck to all!

Now we know who the "Waiver Vulture" is gonna be

Couldn't agree more though, I love it when people really get into it!

No prob, I actually didn't get a chance to check for a thread until the other day, and it looked full so I wasn't gonna join, but I got an invite from Scott and since it's for the troops, I figured why not.
