DrunkenMonkey Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Football time is coming again, and it's time to set up our Friends of Habanos fantasy football league again. My own favorite Fantasy Football team, the Drunken Monkeys, won the league last year. Anyone who would be interested in playing fantasy football with us is welcome. If you're interested, just respond to this thread, or send me a PM if you'd prefer. Here's the basics: Last year we had a $100 buy-in. But we also had 14 teams last year, which most of us felt was a bit too much. So this year, we're going to try to have two separate leagues, if there are enough people, and we have talked about having different buy-in amounts for the two leagues. So this is tentative, and negotiable, but we have discussed having one be a $150 buy-in (the Cohiba league), and the other a $50 buy-in (Quintero league). Money is handled by LeagueSafe, which is an escrow service for fantasy games and pools, etc. The league itself is hosted on ESPN.com. Draft will be a live online draft, and we will find a time and date that works for everyone once we have established who's in the league(s). Prizes are distributed from LeagueSafe in cash to the winners, but of course this is the FOH Fantasy Football League, and so winners should use their winnings to buy cigars from our favorite cigar vendor. So if you're interested in playing, or are interested in thinking about playing, or have any questions, either reply below, or send me a PM.

DrunkenMonkey Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 13 confirmed, and with David8017 and cns187 that will make 15. So if we can get between 5 and 9 more, I think that's perfect for two leagues. Leagues will be capped at 12 teams each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cns187 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 how do we determine who gets to be in the 150 league and the 50 league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenMonkey Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 how do we determine who gets to be in the 150 league and the 50 league? To start with, everyone will just tell me which one they want to be in, and if we need people to move around, I'll start asking for volunteers to switch.

Smalls Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I don't see why it would be a problem. Then we are definitely interested. We are open to be in either league as long at it is the same one for both of us. Although, I should probably say the $50 because the highest I have ever finished was third. Also, the last two years running the top two RB's I had have been hurt for multiple games. It is always fun so giving my money away doesn't hurt as much.

I am also interested in the $150 Apologies, cns, I've been crazy busy the last few days and so I need to catch up, do some PM's, etc. to figure out exactly where we are. I'll post numbers tonight. It looks like we have enough for both leagues to go, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie_1978 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 If you need anyone for either league - count me in. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenMonkey Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Ok guys, here's where we stand: 8 in the Cohiba league 8 in the Quintero league 5 willing to do either one 3 who haven't given their preference yet. I think this means we can have 12 in each league as it stands now, which is perfect. Once we get it all sorted out, I'll start an email discussion with each league to get everyone registered on ESPN and LeagueSafe, and start talking about draft dates/times. If there's anyone else who would like to play, do let me know, in case anyone can't do it for some reason. We need to have an even number in each league, so having backups ready can save the day. Also, anyone willing to play in both leagues in a pinch, let me know that. We have one guy already willing to do that, which is really helpful (thanks, John).

Smalls Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 My wife said she would have a slight preference towards the cheaper league for us. She hasn't played all that much and basically told me she has no confidence in me whatsoever to even make the playoffs.. It wouldn't be a deal breaker though either way.

DrunkenMonkey Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 OK, looks like I counted one guy twice. So there's still another spot if someone wants it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
