Mehntasy Football 2020
6It’s alive! That’s because I’m going to reopen it.
What is this thing that is alive and resurrected, you ask? The meh.com fantasy football league! For those of you that were in the league last year, you’ve got until 11:59pm on 8/31 to log in and claim your spot. Otherwise, it goes to someone that wants in. Roster size will depend on how many people are in the league just like last year.
Lastly, it’s FREE! Based on what I know about you guys, that’ll be your favorite part. If everyone wants to change that and play for a pool (probably $20/person), I’d be down for that too.
Whisper your email addresses to me and let the games begin (unless the pandemic takes another thing I love).
P.S. Comment like crazy on this so it stays as a popular topic.

@zinimusprime I logged in. Did I claim my spot or do I have to do something else?
Also Snowflake is out this year. He would rather follow League of Legends teams. I wonder if they have a fantasy season?
i vaguely remember doing this on meh a few years ago. i think my strategy was to sign up and then do absolutely nothing the entire time. apparently, i still beat someone. even at my absolute laziest, i didn’t come in last. ahh… good times. there’s gotta be a life lesson in there somewhere, but i’ll be damned if i know what it is.
@carl669 You beat my son. He did not take it well.
@sammydog01 is he playing again this year? i could try my non-losing but not quite winning strategy again.
I’d be interested…depending on the platform and whether or not it’s bluetooth compatible.

I’d be interested in the FREE league.
Is this for actual football or that American thing they play with their hands?
@yakkoTDI futbol americano!
One more! - @ExtraMedium
If a league has teams but no players on the teams is it really a league?

@zinimusprime. Looks like game one is in a few days. We doing this?
CALLING @Brendles
WE NEED WOMBATS THIS YEAR!
@sammydog01 I’m here!!!
Tethered Swimming has entered the League
/giphy tethered swimming
Who else?!? C`mon!
/giphy join us
So I was wrong about the “I can see when you log in thing”. Please give me your email address so I can add you all.
My email address is datecard@gmail.com
@gallogj invite sent
@zinimusprime I’m here and ready!
Can I play too? I think I’m already on there.
@sammydog01 No!
j/k
@sammydog01 FYI trying to draft tonight
@zinimusprime I’ll be autodrafting. Antonio Brown isn’t at the top of the list is he?
@sammydog01 You’re playing chess while we all play checkers
/giphy chess
@zinimusprime Well it’s how I got Le’Veon Bell two years ago. That worked out great.
Hey guys, trying to draft tonight so make sure you accept the invite!
Seven teams accepted so far, we might have a league!
@jhinra We’re having it even if we have 6 or 8. I’ll just adjust roster size.
So I’m going to schedule the draft for 9pm tonight. I won’t actually schedule it within the app until 8pm to give everyone a chance to sign up.
Any crazy rules or scoring you guys want to try for funsies?
@zinimusprime Hey, I was wondering why I had to set up a new team name, and now I see my previous team in the member list but with an email address I don’t recognize! Weird. THERE IS ONLY ONE TEAM WILY WOMBATS!
@zinimusprime What time zone?
@sammydog01 I hate the NBA refs…
@sammydog01 It’s in 1 hour
@brendles lol I had to delete teams and just reinvite everyone. But no one claimed your old team so right now there are no Wily Wombats.
/giphy it’s yours if you want it
@zinimusprime Oh, you know I made another team with the same name
@brendles @zinimusprime It’s not a Meh league without wombats.
@sammydog Where are you? Draft is starting in 28 minutes!
@brendles I’m here. But in 28 minutes I’ll be letting the computer do it’s thing. PLEASE NO TOM BRADY! It’s too much work to go check the boxes.
@sammydog01 I’m auto-picking as well, but hanging out in chat to see what goes down.
@brendles FINE I’LL WATCH THE FIRST ROUND!
Hope no one has any Titans. Wait, I have a Titan. Shit.
@sammydog01 hahaha, just heard about the team outbreak.
@sammydog01 I have two players impacted by the postponed game. Ugh!
@brendles Good thing we’re not playing for money or unicorn tattoos, right?
All my players that are on the Cannot Drop List are all getting hurt. This is gonna be a great season.
@metaphore That’s my fault. I hate the cannot drop list and I meant to turn that off.
/giphy I’m sorry
@zinimusprime I don’t really know what “temporary injury reserve” but maybe I was saved from too hastily dropping the very first pick of the league
@metaphore I’ve got some magic beans I could give you for him in an even Steven trade…
So this year, because of COVID, they adjusted the IR rules. It used to be that if you went on IR you were either done for the year or (if you went on IR before week one) you couldn’t come back until week 10. This year they’ve made it like the IL in baseball. If you go on it you miss 3 games minimum but there’s no restrictions for returning once you’ve missed 3 games.
@metaphore @zinimusprime My first pick blew out his ACL in week 2. Which will be my excuse for not winning.
The Chiefs- Patriots game is off too,
@sammydog01
WHAT?!?!?!?!?!
@Barney Hope you weren’t planning on watching. On plus side if they do get it in on Monday or Tuesday the Pats will be starting Brian Hoyer at QB.
@sammydog01 I NEVER miss a Chiefs game except for this Sunday, I guess.
@Barney
/giphy sad barney
@sammydog01
/giphy very sad Barney
Um, I guess I’m playing with out a defense this week. Oh well.
@sammydog01 Could be for the best, I lost a game once cuz my Defense went negative that week
@metaphore My opponent put in the 49ers for zero points so it’s a wash. Thanks @brendles, that was nice of you.
Did you guys and gals see what happened to Dak?
@njfan Yikes. But good old Andy Dalton saved the day,
@njfan @sammydog01 He looks like a little kid (Dalton). I was watching the game when the injury happened. I saw him grabbing his calf and thought “Oh man, he’s cramping up…” And then the angle changed on the camera and I thought, “Oh that’s a funny angle for a foot…”
@njfan @sammydog01 Also, if you’re a nerd about the medical / technical side of sports injuries, give this guy a follow. From my own experience with sports injuries, he’s pretty consistent with everything I’ve heard from my doctors & PT’s.
@zinimusprime You forgot it was Sunday, didn’t you?
@sammydog01 you know… I got nothing. Yes I did.
@zinimusprime Guess what? IT’S SUNDAY AGAIN!
@sammydog01 I hate myself. I made the change and forgot to hit save. I just swapped out of the app.
/giphy I am so disappointed in myself
@sammydog01
@njfan
@njfan I’m starting to rethink that last minute swap of Kenyan Drake for Tyler Lockett.
@sammydog01 congrats
Note to @zinimusprime- HIT SAVE!
@sammydog01 I did this week! Yay!
/giphy YAY!
@zinimusprime
/giphy good dog
@njfan Dragontrainer says she’ll be happy to trade you Dalvin Cook for Deshaun Watson. Is that a pig flying outside my window?
@sammydog01 dragontrainer, please be real, please be real!!
Just want you guys to know I’m taking a bye week and that has nothing to do with being scared to face American Pie.
@sammydog01 Can you take a bye week when you play the Zinimehs Primes? That would be swell.
@zinimusprime Didn’t I already beat those guys?
@sammydog01 Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good joke!!!
/giphy party pooper
You guys aren’t just letting me win because I’m a newb are you? It’s lonely at the top.
@gallogj definitely not letting you win lol
@gallogj @zinimusprime Well it was my bye week…
BTW…thanks a lot for telling me Carson was out last week. I thought we were friends.
@gallogj As a friend I recommend you can his ass.
@gallogj Oh, wrong Carson.
I really want to watch the Denver game.
@sammydog01 if the talking heads are right (I know, stretch), no you did not.
Did you see the Texans game? Will Fuller kicked butt! I’m accepting trade offers.
@sammydog01
@njfan @sammydog01 I’ve got some pocket lint and a magic bean.
@njfan @zinimusprime
Thanks, ESPN, I really needed you to point that out.
@sammydog01
/giphy insult to injury
Another week…another win. Yaaaawwwwnnnnn! <=== Enter trash talk here.
@gallogj Going with Herbert again?
/giphy bold move
@sammydog01 It’s moves like these that championships are built on! Besides, my grandma can throw for 400yds against the Falcons and she has no arms! /giphy Grandma
@gallogj @sammydog01 I’ll help out with the giphy thing…
/giphy grandma
@gallogj @zinimusprime Herbert passed for 243 yards so I guess you’re starting grandma next Sunday?
/giphy grandma playing football
@gallogj @sammydog01 I’m starting my grandma

First rule of fantasy football:
DO NOT MAKE ANY LAST MINUTE CHANGES.
How did the top ranked DST get a negative score?
CURSE YOU MATTHEW BERRY!
/giphy table flip
@njfan Dragontrainer wants to know how that Michael Thomas trade is working out for you.
And congrats on the win last week. You should send Herbert a gift basket.
@sammydog01
@zinimusprime
@njfan
Ok you won because @zinimusprime imploded and I won because my opponent played two guys that were out. But I’m gonna pretend we earned it.
@sammydog01 @gallogj - oh boy.
@gallogj @njfan I have Kamara in another league. If he did that last two weeks I wouldn’t be in the consolation round. Taysom Hill is a ball hog.
This week I lost Cam Akers, Raheem Mostert, Terry McLaurin, and Jarvis Landry. So far.
@njfan GOT YOUR POPCORN READY FOR THE BIG GAME TONIGHT?
Wow.
Just wow.
I’m the champion of the Mehntasy Football league.
The prize is bragging rights and believe me, I was planning to take full advantage, but after (possibly pointless) retrospection, I thought why mess with a good thing?
I was the eighth seed of our eight team playoff. Though this league is just for fun, as a believer of karma, I took the approach that instead of trash talking, maybe if I keep quiet, good vibes might come to my team.
Gg @gallogj.
Could a strategy of humbleness work two weeks in a row?
Gg @zinimusprime.
Could it work again in the championship game against the GOAT (pun not intended) of Meh fantasy football?
Gg @sammydog01.
I won. Yay
.
Typically, I’d be more boastful but I have many more “games” I’d like to win and why mess with a winning strategy?
Good season, everyone!
@njfan
CONGRATULATIONS!
Great year everyone! I enjoyed the forum banter! Let’s do it all again next year!
/giphy I’ll see you later
@zinimusprime Thanks for running it! See you next fall.
Dragontrainer was upset she came in last place after beating her opponent 2 out of 3 games. But then she showed me her trophy:
I’m kind of jealous.
