I am going to wreak absolute fudging havoc in the playoffs. I will crush you all under my boot heel. Starting with you, tyreek and destroy. Raaaargh!!
I Gabe It My All at Dec 19, 2024 8:37 PM -
I have had the pleasure to be at the top and bottom of this league and it is by far the best league that I have ever being in. Thank you and much success to last 4 standing.
You but better at Dec 19, 2024 8:33 PM -
thanks for another great season, and good luck to the finalists!
The Old TomCat at Dec 19, 2024 8:53 AM -
Thanks for the Thanksgiving notes, men. Happy holiday season to everyone!
We've got a consolation bracket this year, so teams 5-8 still have something to play for. (And so does Kenzie, finally.)
Huge showdowns coming in Week 16... big couple of weeks on tap, let's see some fights!
Ford-Bronco Chase at Dec 19, 2024 12:25 AM -
Happy Thanksgivings to all of my football friends
You but better at Nov 28, 2024 9:00 AM -
Happy Thanksgiving for all y'all Americans! The one day a year I am truly jealous of not being American. What a wonderful day of football and good you guys have a head of you!
Enjoy for all of us who can't!

I may be multi-tasking to start so don't wait on me and sorry if I miss any noms. No guarantee that moving it back will give me time to get the kids to bed anyway.
You like CeeDee's?? at Aug 27, 2024 6:11 PM -
Draft is on, 8pm. Gotta rule in k Kenzie’s favor, he’s got seniority and is close to social security. Maybe we give 10-15 minutes grace, so Rob, walk that dog!
Ford-Bronco Chase at Aug 26, 2024 10:34 PM -
I would prefer it not be too late. I go to bed at 9pm these days.
I Gabe It My All at Aug 17, 2024 5:40 AM -
Thanks for organizing, the proposed date works for me, see you there!
The Old TomCat at Aug 17, 2024 5:36 AM -
Even 15 minutes is helpful. I have dinner clean-up and dog walking.
Another Bark in the Wall at Aug 17, 2024 4:38 AM -
I am not opposed to moving it back a little, but people get sleepy and cranky when I make it too late! Maybe we say 8:15/30 if there is demand for that... these drafts are usually about 90-120 mins tops.
Ford-Bronco Chase at Aug 17, 2024 1:07 AM -
Hello - i hope everyone is ready for some football! i hope everyone has a successful draft and season.
i am okay for the the 27th at 8:00pm
let the games begin
You but better at Aug 16, 2024 10:57 AM -
Date is fine with me. It would be better for me if we moved it back an hour but I can make it work if not.
You like CeeDee's?? at Aug 16, 2024 9:31 AM -
no problems here! looking forward to the 27th
Caught on Kamara Again at Aug 16, 2024 9:15 AM -
No problem with date or time on my end. Built my other 3 drafts based on this.
Another Bark in the Wall at Aug 16, 2024 2:19 AM -
I haven’t heard any problems with Tue 8/27 @ 8pm. Does anyone have a problem with this time? Draft is always right around Labor Day, always a busy time both before and after. I prefer to do it before the holiday, and assumed that was the general sentiment, but please do say if I’m wrong. Polls are never fully responded to so I’m not bothering, we can work it out here.
Ford-Bronco Chase at Aug 15, 2024 7:28 PM -
Hey guys. Is our draft date set, or is it a placeholder like on other years?
Caught on Kamara Again at Aug 15, 2024 10:32 AM -
I'd be willing to take on another team...
Another Bark in the Wall at Aug 1, 2024 9:47 AM -
Hope everyone is having a good summer.
In another league I'm in, we had 3 managers disappear on us. It's a $50 super flex, 0.5 PPR. If anyone is looking to claim a new team in another league, please let me know.
(YouButBetter and OldTomcat) are also already in that league...
Caught on Kamara Again at Aug 1, 2024 8:45 AM -
You will know when a transaction has actually occurred.
Ford-Bronco Chase at Jul 30, 2024 2:11 PM -
Yep, same. It asked for confirmation (requested/sent code to mobile phone), then took me through the (credit card) payment steps. After completing, it brought me back to the start (versus confirming transaction went through). I verified that no transaction went through on cc (yet). That’s where I’m at.
Just wondering if anyone else had an issue
The Old TomCat at Jul 30, 2024 1:55 PM -
When I went in the first time, I had a similar experience. It seemed to just want to confirm my device, no payment was ever authorized. I went in again and paid (with a credit card). Let me know where you’re at.
Ford-Bronco Chase at Jul 30, 2024 12:12 PM -
Hey Chase! thanks for reminder. Have you paid/used Paydala yet? I went through the steps to the end, but it put me back to beginning. I have no idea if payment went through but I did not try a 2nd time (in case it was simply delayed). Anyone else try?
The Old TomCat at Jul 30, 2024 9:09 AM -
Reminder: renewal deadline is approaching, end of day Wednesday 7/31! The payment system is pretty easy to use, do not delay!
Ford-Bronco Chase at Jul 30, 2024 12:16 AM -
All set, arbitration is over (and fully implemented)! Barkley & Purdy, please double-check the increases and let me know if there's any issue. I made one mistake in the process and adjusted it immediately (I put $3 on Prescott, but it was meant to be $1, so final salary should be $40), otherwise I did not detect any errors in my data entry.
Everyone else, let the long off-season commence (AKA baseball season).
Ford-Bronco Chase at Apr 3, 2024 8:11 PM -
DO NOT MAKE ANY CUTS YET!
The tardy arbiters have both asked for forgiveness, and are sending me late arb-sheets. Please don't make any cuts until I update their ARB salaries manually. Give me a day or two. I'll post back up when it's all set.

Ford-Bronco Chase at Apr 1, 2024 2:46 PM -
Greetings, football league!
URGENT reminder: Arbitration is due Sunday night at 11:59 EDT (Mar 31).
It is really important to league balance for you to complete this... it's in your best interest, it's in our best interest, and it's fun! If I were you, I would squeeze this in before the weekend, get it out of the way. You can change your allocations as many times as you want up until the deadline.
Remember, you must use ALL of your arbitration money for any of it to be counted. (Rules are available in the Rules tab.) Let me know if you have questions.
~Marc B
Ford-Bronco Chase at Mar 28, 2024 8:09 PM -
Hey everyone!
Hope all of your winters have been going along smoothly.
Pretty much no one has touched their arbitration. Just a friendly reminder to get that done. I know we still have a month, but it really takes just a few minutes and you are free to adjust as necessary up until the deadline.
Caught on Kamara Again at Mar 1, 2024 9:52 AM -
Thank you for a great season. it took my part time player Reed to produce 22 points in 1 half of a football game and then come out because he was hurt..
But I will take it.
Looking forward to next year already.
You but better at Jan 1, 2024 9:39 PM -
Congrats to YBB!
Many thanks to the Commish, and for all the members of this pool.
Happy New Year, all the best … and see you next season!
The Old TomCat at Jan 1, 2024 1:44 PM -
Happy New Year to everyone, and a happy new year it must have been for You But Better! After making the playoffs in his first three years in the league, he finally has that Gold Trophy in his case! Congrats Barry, a well deserved victory.
Congrats to the other 3 playoff teams as well.
As always, it was a pleasure again this year. Thanks Marc, for keeping this going for yet another year.
I hope we are all back next year.
Caught on Kamara Again at Jan 1, 2024 11:51 AM -
Sorry Rob...
I had a setting checked, by accident, that forced me to set the seeding.
Wildcard team faces the #1 seed; #2-#3 division winners in the other matchup.
Ford-Bronco Chase at Dec 21, 2023 12:14 AM -
What issue? Looks right to me!!
You like CeeDee's?? at Dec 20, 2023 11:09 PM -
Looks like we're having the same issue with playoff seeding that we had last year- this has been reported to Niv, he is aware and working on it.
Ford-Bronco Chase at Dec 20, 2023 9:42 PM -
OJ Simpson to the rescue? But I don’t know how the seeding gets done. I think it’s record then points? We’ll see soon!
Ford-Bronco Chase at Dec 19, 2023 8:12 PM -
*Ford Bronco, not Chubb...
Caught on Kamara Again at Dec 19, 2023 2:46 PM -
Goodluck to the 4 playoff teams.
Will Chubb reclaim top spot?
Will You But Better finally get over the hump?
Can Moore Brothers Grim continue it's regular season dominance?
Is Doomsday going to ride his momentum of 6 wins in the last 7 games to a championship?
Good story lines all around. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all unfolds.
Quick question out of curiosity: how does the playoff seeding work? Is it top division winner vs wild card or are the 4 teams reseeded for the playoffs based on record and points for?
Caught on Kamara Again at Dec 19, 2023 2:41 PM -
Good morning everyone!
Someone posted something interesting in one of my other leagues that some find interesting, always fun to learn more about football, so I figured I'd share:
"Fun fact (that won't alter your roster plans today): The origin of the huddle in football was invented in 1894 by Gallaudet University, a school for the deaf.

They pushed the renewal date again until 11/7.

They pushed the renewal date again until 11/7.
Caught on Kamara Again at Oct 30, 2023 7:49 PM -
Reminder: renewal is due end of day on 10/31, Tuesday. The link to instructions and getting started is at the top of this homepage (in the header). If you don’t do it, you will lose access to your team!
Ford-Bronco Chase at Oct 29, 2023 10:00 PM -
2 more updates:
1. I meant to say 10/14, not 10/15
2a. I don't think the new payment platform has actually gone live yet. (If I'm wrong, let me know.)
2b. Wouldn't surprise me if the due date is pushed back yet again (if my suspicion in 2a is confirmed).
Ford-Bronco Chase at Oct 6, 2023 10:46 PM -
Quick note on payment: it is now due 10/15. See the link at the top of the page ("payment updates") for more information, including instructions. I have all the same information that you all have (whatever is available to the community) so please click the link and read up on things.
Ford-Bronco Chase at Oct 3, 2023 5:51 PM -
Oh yeah, it's a 0.5 PPR, 3 WR, FLEX, SuperFlex, $50 tier.
Caught on Kamara Again at Sep 4, 2023 9:20 AM -
Hey everyone!
I'm in another league that just started up this year. We had our inaugural draft last night, and obviously one manager just didn't show. The draft went on anyway, and afterwards that team was given 13 players at $1 so they can field a roster every week. It's a crummy roster to start, but wanted to know if anyone here wanted to join an additional league?
If interested, I'll provide the info.
Goodluck this year. Is it Thursday yet?
Caught on Kamara Again at Sep 4, 2023 9:10 AM -
Hope you all have a fantastic season and I am looking and open to trades if it improves both of our teams.
Don't be shy to to contact me and no trade is a dumb trade.
You but better at Aug 30, 2023 9:18 AM -
OK, it was a little slow at times, and a little surprising, but largely a smooth draft! Good work team!
The season has officially begun- enjoy, everyone!
Ford-Bronco Chase at Aug 29, 2023 10:23 PM -
Are we ready for some football... no more sleeps!
You but better at Aug 29, 2023 7:51 AM -
DRAFT IS TOMORROW!
Update on the payment situation- it is still not finalized, and the payment date is delayed indefinitely.
Once it's online, here's a tutorial for using the new platform: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/how-to-pay-for-ottoneu-with-paydala/13220
