I'm a little confused (there's a surprise:lol:). Is the draft live, in real time, or do I make them now. I may not be around Saturday, so I wanna make sure I get my picks in.

It is a live draft so it happens in real time, but it is a good idea to set up your draft order now so if you can't make it you will get the picks you want, if you can't make the draft the draft system will pick from the players you have listed or if you don't make one it will pick from the default Yahoo player rankings. IMO it is a good idea for everyone to set up their own rankings(list) so that way if you are not there you will get the players you want unless Yahoo has them ranked like you think they should be :thumb:

What's the draft order? What time is this happening again?

Fantasy football play costs companies millions

By Paul Thomasch Wed Aug 22, 5:55 PM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Corporate America beware: NFL stars Peyton Manning, LaDainian Tomlinson and Tom Brady are about to cost you hundreds of millions of dollars.

The reason is many American workers can spend nearly two hours a day consumed with fantasy football teams, according to a workplace consultancy, which on Wednesday estimated the lost productivity will cost employers nationwide up to $435 million a week over the upcoming National Football League season.

Consultancy Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc cited a recent report that suggests the average fantasy football player spends 5.2 hours online each week participating in such games, which are offered by ESPN, CBS Sports and Yahoo Inc, among others. The NFL season kicks off September 6.

Challenger pointed to another report that found 60 percent of fantasy sports fans spent more than an hour each day just thinking about their fantasy team.

"There are some people who probably wait until the workday is over to strategize, make trades and manage their teams, but many are probably doing at least some of their team tasks from the office," Chief Executive John Challenger said.

Immensely popular, fantasy football is a game in which friends create a league with teams that draft, trade or buy real life NFL players. These fantasy teams then play one another, with scores based on real-life statistics.

Challenger cited surveys that show there are roughly 10 million Americans playing fantasy football and earning between $60,000 and $100,000 per year. Using the midpoint of the salary range, Challenger calculated that fantasy sports players earn an average of $38.45 per hour, or about $6.40 per 10 minutes.

Taking all that into account, if a worker spends just 10 minutes of work time playing fantasy football each day, then it will cost employers $275 million a week. That number could easily climb as high as $435 million, Challenger said, if workers spend more than those few minutes on the game.

But Challenger said employers may want to look the other way rather than coming down too hard on fantasy football players.

"Everyday employers lose money by paying people to take smoking breaks, go to the bathroom, refill coffee mugs and make small talk around the watercooler," the CEO said in a statement. "Most employers understand that not every minute of every workday is dedicated to work."

Indeed, Challenger said the damage to worker morale from banning fantasy football could prove far more costly than letting workers get away with 10 or 20 minutes of daily online team management.

I'd love to play Mandy, but I really don't have a clue what I am doing and struggle enough with my Fantasy Football Team (English Premier League) and I'm supposed to know what to do with that one.

:lol:

Still, if I did join, I couldn't do any worse than I do in this one !

:stick:

Personally, I think all of you should just declare me the champion right now. It really will save us all a bit of time. ;)

LOL I've been called everything in the book, so whatever category it may be, it won't be too far off!

Hey Jimmy,i sent Steve a message about joining..Hopefully he will get back to me by saturday ;)

Ok guys we need another to sign up to make it even or we won't be able to have a draft so if there is anyone else that would like to join or if anyone that is already signed up knows someone from another site or something like that that would like to join they need to do so today as the draft is tommorow and we need to have an even number of teams to be able to have one :brickwall:

I let some of the guys over at the Links know about the opening, TJ. So I'll let you know if one of them wants to sign up.

Let Rock!! :rock:

Whatever the draft order is...let's play ball!! :rock: :rock:

We NEED..one more person...N00bs welcome. If you have ever wanted to play..this is your chance. But you need to register like right now. Painless and no spam..

BUMP! We need one more player. Draft is in 4 hours! C'mon guys... help us out:D

COME ON!!!!!..I know there are more football fans on this site besides us...Its all in fun here..We really do need someone!

Ok everybody of we don't get someone to join up in the next hour or so I am gonna have to switch it to a points scoring instead of head to head, I would rather be head to head though so please if anyone wants to join pm me ASAP so we can get you signed up and be able to do a Head To Head scoring.

Ok guys we got an even 8:woot: thanks to John :thumb: (Thanks dude and I will tell Mandy to go easy on the smack talk to ya LOL :D ) Good luck everyone, have a great draft ( well not to great lol) and a great time!:thumb:

Great draft everyone , it should be a blast this season! :thumb:

That was fun! Now what? lol

That was fun! Now what? lol

hehehe!!! I guess we just wait for the season to start, and see how yer guy's do!!! I'm thinking you have to pick players for each position, as well as a defense prior to game day....someone correct me if i'm wrong....i am just guessing.....:tard:

Yep you have to have 2 QB's, 2 RB's. 3 WR's, 2 TE's, 2 DEF's. and 2 Kickers.

That was fun! Now what? lol

You sit back, relax and take your whooping like a man. :slap:

Thanks John for jumping in and saving the season!! I am already trying to get some replacement folks through Wavers....I don't like one of my TE and my kickers are mediocre. I could use another QB. And another Running back couldn't hurt. ;)

I missed the live draft, but I had 27 pre-ranked.

Good to see you Sucka. It's been a while and adds to the game. TJ has been a terror to face for the last 3 yrs or so. :thumb:

No prob Sergio....I really have no idea how this all works. i told Jimmy, as much as i love the game, i never got involved in the fantasy stuff...this my first time. So any help on the trading of players and such will be really helpful. Not to say i am in the market for it, just want to learn how it all comes together.But, as you said, there are definitely a couple of picks that i maybe would have done differently......didn't have the opportunity to check stats and injury reports prior....oh well.....i'm just gonna have a blast and say FUCK IT!!!!LOL!!!!:wtf: :yourock:

I made it into the play offs YAY :D ,lol..It has definately been fun playing with you all..May the best man (woman;) ) win!..I hope next season we can all do this again:thumb:

This part of the year is getting downright scary!! (sweating bullets as I type)...

But, yeah, lets do this again next year! :rock:

This part of the year is getting downright scary!!

Who you kidding??!!!! You just whipped my ass soundly!!!!! Great job there Sergio!!! Now, you just have to kick the Canadian contingents ASS!!!! You can start sweating now...........:D

PS......A big YES to doing this again next year!!!!!!!

Woohoo! It's me and Sergio for all the marbles! Birthday or not, I show no mercy:D

May the best man win :thumb:

May the best man win :thumb:

That would be ME!!! Thats why i can't understand these two slackers going for the championship!!! LOL!!!

The worry for me is 50% of my points come from Randy Moss and Tom Brady.
Against the Dolphins, I have a feeling they will get pulled early and consequently, no big point totals. Should be interesting.

And no doubt JPF is the better man!! :) If he had not been that last minute add, none of us would have had the league. Kudos John!

My worry is that they will let them play the full game against the dolphins. That would give you the win for sure! I'm shocked that I have done so well in the poll. I watch a little football but not alot. I actually watch more CFL(Canadian Football) than the NFL. I just hope my luck will last one more week:)

Oh oh... Willie Parker broke his leg last night :) That'll even things up, lol.

Actually ole Willie got me a grand total of -1 points. :tard:

I hope his leg gets better. (but he won't be on my team next year)...:o

Damn...I was counting on him having a good game! Looking bleak for me PG!

Woohoo! Feels like Christmas;)
