Falcoholic Fantasy Football Leagues Are A Go!

by Dave Choate on Aug 10, 2009 8:00 AM EDT in Editorial

After performing the dark rites necessary to determine who would be in The Falcoholic's fantasy leagues this year, I return to you with a list of names and a mind haunted by unanswerable questions.

As you know, I'll be running The Falcoholic Redux, a re-imagining of last year's league, where Chandler12 grabbed best record and Blue Falcon won the whole thing. As a six-year veteran of fantasy football leagues, I feel confident that I can get my butt kicked up and down the standings by the lot of you. There's a good mix of familiar faces and neophytes here, and I'm looking forward to the season.

The second league, The tlozwarlock Special, will be run by my esteemed co-blogger and organizer of all things organized. Due to the random drawing, his league will be stocked with many names that will be familiar to those of you who have been here for any length of time. The two champions may be up for prizes, if both of us don't end up flat broke by the end of it.

Without further ado, here's the list:

The Falcoholic Redux

~~Pregame with Pabst~~
Tybeaux
Bob Kienbaum
ChickenLay
Erihury
FlyYouFalcons
armchair quarterback
FLA_Falcon
Born and Bred Falcon
Jeff S
Hardcore Falcon
Blue Falcon (conditionally)
Dave the Falconer

The tlozwarlock Special

FrankyWren
feldy3323
widderslainte
Nikolas
mistab50
Matt Lisle/Get Serious
YoungWolf
Chandler12
runningback
MentallyMIA
Bonhoffer
tlozwarlock

If you have any questions, please e-mail me at davethefalconer@yahoo.com. Those of you who had interest and didn't make it through the drawing, I apologize and hope you'll try again next year, and I'd encourage you to join one of Jesse28's Yahoo! leagues. I will also be e-mailing the top alternate if Blue Falcon chooses not to do the league or if anyone cannot fulfill their interest in the league before the draft. All of you in the league will receive e-mails from myself or tlozwarlock by the end of the week.

Have fun!

EDIT: Pregame with Pabst has removed himself from the running, so alternate Tybeaux will assume his place. Thanks guys.

woo! can't wait for football season

Dave, you were right, tlozwarlock’s league is pretty stacked.

FrankyWren, Nikolas, mistab50, Chandler12, runningback, and tlozwarlock, I look forward to competing with you guys. To the rest of you, I look forward to getting to know you… don’t fall out mid season when your team’s hopes start to look grim (haha, let the smack talk begin!).

and I know it is “understood” – but you don’t have tlozwarlock’s name under the list of people in “The tlozwarlock Special”.

know what you believe in and why you believe in it

Fixed

My league is suffering more attrition already than the Falcons’ receiving corps.

Ha

Yeah, no matter how bad my record is, I never drop out midseason. I say that if we catch anyone doing that we somehow publicly shame them.

In a way, each of us has an El Guapo to face.

I look forward to meeting everyone

I did read that correctly right? We’ll be getting e-mails with the specifics later this week? I’m assuming the e-mails we signed up with.

by Nikolas on Aug 10, 2009 6:18 PM EDT up reply actions

Nikolas, you are correct

You’ll be getting e-mails with that information ASAP.

Let the Games begin,

Looking forward to this, Hope we’ll have a gret year with lots of participation…

yeah

I usually do pretty well, but I think I usually play a bunch of noobs. so I have no high expectations of my finishing position against you guys. should be fun though.

Life is a garden. Dig it!

It's an intriguing league

If Blue Falcon doesn’t return, I’ll literally be playing against an entirely new crew compared to last season. I’m looking forward to seeing who emerges.

Y'all wish me luck...

I’ll be taking on Jaxon and 10 other bloggers from the CAR blog. Gotta spank them like our Birds will spank those Cats on the field…

I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I only lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three.

Sweet!

I still have a login from last year, should I ditch that? Will there be a new invite emailed? DOn’t think I have gotten anything yet.

Looks like a ton of competition thar!

It’s a ton of fun and should either of you guys need an alternative, then I’m always available.

To everyone, the Salary Cap league I created has no limit on managers so I emplore all of you to come check it out, which you can find all info for here.

To everyone who would like to experience a keeper league in the more traditional Head-2-Head format, then simply click here.

I hope to see you guys there. Good luck to all!
