Jonesy 2005 Draft Stuff

Be there or... hey, "Quote of the Draft", presented by Icehouse Beer:

Oh, and I guess I'll need some Excedrin too
because Lois has a headache 'this big' "

Lousy Questions

The Jonesy 2005 draft is:

Details

The order is based on 2004 performance, worst first. Any new teams will be wedged in after the non-playoff losers, er ah, teams. It's go time:

  1. cindy "missus angeero"
  2. steve tucker
  3. lisa d
  4. ian tucker
  5. danny bruessel
  6. kate "the beav" dieboldt
  7. angeero
  8. stacey tucker
  9. young bill krieger
  10. denise bruessel
  11. jerry kee
  12. tommy deiboldt
  13. eric s
  14. bj tucker

It would be great to get to 16 teams, so invite someone, eh.

Rules stuff

Remember our rules?

  • Head-to-head competition, but of course... when I beat der Golem, I want him to know who's f'ing responsible for his ass hurting so bad.
  • We're pretty much 50/50 scoring and yardage. I won't do the whole thing here. It should be up on the Yahoo site soon. Oh yeah, a TD on defense/special teams counts for the defense and the guy. So, if you own Dante Hall, he get six along with the Chiefs D. Get it?
  • Trading is cool... that worked out pretty well last year.
  • With 14 teams, we had 6 playoff teams last year.
  • We had 12 guys on each roster last year. Each week's lineup included: QB, RB, WR, WR/RB, WR/TE, K, D.

I know we had some ideas for rules changes, but last year was such a fucking fog of disappointment... "last year was a fucking fog of disappointment"... dang, I think that's pretty funny... no, no... eloquent, that's it. I'm the whining, girly voice of my generation.

Sorry.

Anyway, here are some things that I recall people maybe wanting to change from last year:

  1. Number of Position Players - last year we had 4 position players that could be active in any week (RB, WR, WR/RB, WR/TE). Anyway, how about adding a RB/WR to that list.
  2. First tiebreaker - the first tiebreaker in going to the playoffs should be head-to-head competition. I don't believe this is the way that Yahoo does it, but screw 'em.
  3. Draft order - should we do the NFL/Steve Tucker first-to-last, non-wraparound draft style. We did it in baseball, and it worked out pretty well.
  4. Defense scoring - we torqued down the defense scoring and removed sacks altogether. I liked it, but some people wanted to add sacks back in, I believe.

This is just what I remember. We'll talk about it and vote at the draft.

First Chicago Bear selected is a shot. Mushin, my ass. Texas Hold 'Em after the draft?

all in... yow, bill
