#5 - Boo Berry
OK, I'm sitting here now enjoying a bowl of Boo Berry (something we don't have in these parts anymore, so I actually have it shipped in from somewhere in New England. Really.), and I just remembered that I had a NFL Fantasy draft at 10. When I went to check in on it, it was already over. Nobody live drafted, but I really can't blame them. This was our crazy league (We always have 4 - one with friends, one with people at work, one that you can't make any changes in, and one with crazy points), which is kind of a crap shoot anyway. I'm destroying people in our baseball crazy pool, because my guys all crowd the plate and get beaned constantly. To give you an idea of how the football league is set up, here is how the kickers are scored:
Field Goals 0-19 Yards (15)
Field Goals 20-29 Yards (15)
Field Goals 30-39 Yards (-15)
Field Goals 40-49 Yards (-30)
Field Goals 50+ Yards (999)
Field Goals Missed 0-19 Yards (200)
Field Goals Missed 20-29 Yards (15)
Field Goals Missed 30-39 Yards (-50)
Field Goals Missed 40-49 Yards (-10)
Field Goals Missed 50+ Yards (1111)
Point After Attempt Made (-7.9)
Point After Attempt Missed (2000)
Add to that 888 points for a safety, and the setup is random enough that I don't blame people for auto-drafting. I'm sitting at a computer this morning, and I was one of them. I got Derrick Wimbush, though, so I think I'm all set.
And if you think this league is the dorkiest thing someone could have done with a fantasy NFL league, have a look at this video:
