BWL!!! That's what you get in a random league. Charles slipping to the 6th overall, Lynch being drafted 2nd(even during his holdout), and SAM BRADFORD drafted #9 OVERALL....baaahaaha! That's how I came to be good friends with people here over the years. Got tired of those silly random leagues, and wanted to test my skills against real competition. This must be your first year playing ff, right? It's all good, but you can't take anything out of those random draft results. Try doing a mock draft with 9 other people from here.
Sometimes you'll have VERY young children joining them(8-10 years old).
Some jerks join just to joke around and mess up the draft for everyone else. Some people actually get off on doing that type of stuff. You know, making ridiculous picks in every round just for shit's & giggles. They have no intention on actually participating during the season, so what do they care.
Lot's of people treat it like it's a mock draft. They draft maybe the first 5-6 rounds, then they leave, and it goes to auto-pick for the rest. They never show back up during the season either.
Out of 10 teams, you would be lucky to have 3-4 owners still participating at all...past the first few weeks of the season.
In the end, there is no real way to tell how good you actually are. There is no true challenge. There is very little trading, if at all. Many games will be played against teams who have injured and inactive players in their starting lineups. If there isn't some sort of prize involved for the best team out of all joined, I don't see any real reason to join one of those ever again. I think they used to offer a prize to the best team overall out of the thousands that joined. Does anyone know if they do?
cityofchamps- If you haven't done so already, I would strongly recommend you joining in on a REAL league with people here this season. I'm sure there are a number of them available still with open spots. Right now you're playing in the kiddie pool. Try taking off those floaties and come swimming with the big boyz.
