Alright member of the AP Fantasy Football league, it's getting to be that kind of year again! In the nest week I will be sending out renewal invites, and then opening things up here for new members to join up.
Looking forward to another great season! Can Donuts defend his title? Can I rebound from the biggest collapse in league history? (All two years of it.) Will Xpy make the risky* move of drafting the entirety of the Denver Broncos again? Who knows! But I' sure it's going to be an exciting, drama-filled season.
But before all that there are a couple of things I want some input in regarding changes to the league:
First and foremost: Roster Size. I've noticed over the past two seasons that for the most part there has been a little collecting of players going on, not much, but it seems like everyone has one or two people on their bench that they never really play, so I move to shrink the bench spots on the roster by two. The immediate benefit is a shorter draft, but the long term is it demands smarter team management, so we'll all elevate our game a little bit. The downside of course is that that'll be two less people you can hold on to to prevent your opponents from getting. Any in favor? Opposed?
Second, I'm going to make sure that everyone plays to the end this year. By that I mean, we'll have a consolation bracket. And with it a last place game–or a Sacko, if you will. Thus while one of us celebrates with joy, the other hides with shame. But really, it's just so that even if you don't make playoffs, you're not just left sitting there. You can still play for pride!
Going off of that, I was wondering if anyone might consider making us some signatures. Mainly one for the Champ, and one for last place (SHAME--though it'll totally be me this year.) I have no real artistic talent in that sense, but I will try my hand at it. I was thinking maybe Arlong doing something gleeful (something like this, I dunno:) [hide][/hide] for the winner, and then this image [hide][/hide] for last place.
I don't know. If someone wants to do it, they can decide on something. I just thought it was time that our champ gets something, and since a league trophy isn't really reasonable I figured a signature was the next best thing.
But yeah, those are my proposed changes. Let me know your stances, or I'll just do whatever I feel like.
