Guys and Feder,...  I have had a BRUTAL week. Nothing bad,... just INSANELY busy. A CRAZY Monday and Tuesday in the life of Steg was followed by a 13 1/2-hour workday today.  Suffice it to say that FF has had to take a backseat here this week. Results will probably not be posted until, at best, Friday night (MY time that is). As such, I've gone ahead and turned over the lineups section. Thank you for your anticipated understanding and patience. I'm now going to bed.

Guys,... PLEASE bare with me again here this week. I'm just having a rough time popping out of this "crazy-busy" nightmare.  In any case, the lineups section has been turned over for the week. So, you can submit your lineups for Week 8 at any time. I'm hoping to have Week 7's results up for you guys (back on the mainland) no later than Saturday morning, i.e. Friday night my time.  Once again, thank you all for your anticipated understanding and patience.

Fellas, please bear with me here this week... I'm having a rough one,... battling long hours, stress and insomnia. I have turned the lineups submission section over, though, so yous can submit your Week 11 lineups. I apologize in advance for the delay  and appreciate your anticipated understanding and patience.

Fellas, in light of the extremely early Thanksgiving start to Week 12 and the fact that I can almost guarantee that I will not have Week 11's results posted before the kickoff of, at least, the first Thanksgiving day game, I have already gone ahead and turned over the lineup submissions section so you guys can go ahead and submit your Week 12 lineups. Regarding Week 11's results, I'll probably work on them for a good portion of Thanksgiving day. Hopefully I'll have them up that night. Okay, go and get them there lineups in...

One other thing, fellas,... here's the up-to-date Draft Grid for Sunday...
http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/gbrfl/GBRFL2008draftpicksgrid.xls.
I did update it to include the last trade Mark and I made (the Berrian trade). A job well done by Joe, ultimately, though!

The post-draft "Rosters", including everybody's NEW team numbers, are, alas, up-to-date over at the league site as is the "Transactions" page to include trades made on Draft Day. I apologize greatly for the extended delay...  Today was my last day at mom's in Jersey. It's been quite hectic for the three days in between since Sunday night.
Well, "see" yous on the "left" coast.

Well, alas, the site's ready to roll for the 2008 campaign!  The "Results" and "Standings" pages have finally been reset, and the "Lineups" section has been turned over so yous can start submittin' them there Week 1 lineups...  Remember Week 1 free-agency goes by reverse order of finish, not the lottery order, and league dues are due no later than Week 4! According to my records, four of you still have yet to settle up... See yous on the fantasy gridiron!!!

Fellas, do note that, after lineup submissions TOMORROW/THURSDAY night prior to kickoff are all in, I will in all likelihood NOT be in a position to turn the system "back over" for the immediate viewing of lineups. Gino and I are still not settled in in Nor Cal. For those "in the 'proverbial' know", our housing "blessing" fell through,  and Gino and I have had to scramble,... successfully in the end, but a MAD  scramble nonetheless; two weeks of school (which, by the way, I couldn't be in a better place scholastically; CIIS is a perfect fit for me) down and we're still living bag-and-baggage out of a hotel room,... while, thankfully, piece-mealing our way into our new digs, though. Bottom line, we won't have internet in our home until sometime next week. So, I will get to turning the system back over as I can (visit a Starbuck's). BUT, in the meantime, just in case, feel free to start a thread here, on which we can post/share our lineups for Week 1 with each other, sometime after kickoff tomorrow night. Just don't go posting your lineup(s) (and free-agent requests) BEFORE kickoff tomorrow night! Title the thread something like "Week 1 Lineups"... Over and out...

Okay, fellas... Gino and I made it to a Starbuck's and accessed the internet... The "Lineups" section has been turned over, so you guys can view the lineups. The "Transactions" and "Rosters" pages aren't updated yet, though. There are just only so many hours in a day.  Maybe on the morrow... Anyway,... be in touch!

Heya, Fellas...  The "Transactions" and "Rosters" pages are, alas, updated for Week 1. I won't have internet access at home until Wednesday evening, so we're probably looking at a late week in terms of Week 1 results. Sorry,... but, trust me when I say that I am A BIT pressed right now and doing all this stuff under some duress (I'm sitting outside a closed Starbuck's right now jonesing some internet after a 14-hour day of hardcore studies ). Just please bare with me, guys... Thanks!

Still not there (as I sit, furniture-less, on the floor of our place with my puter up on a chair), but slowly but surely settling in with a degree of normalcy in view, still off a bit, but it's on the horizon. As such, and especially with the change I need to "adjust to" in the processing of stats because TQStats is out of the business of providing raw stats, the results ain't gonna be up until maybe as late as Saturday night,... late (Cali time, that is). I'm hopin' I can pull it off tonight, mind yous, but we just got other more "fundamental-to-life" shit to take care of, and I just cannot guarantee that this stuff is going to "elevate in importance" enough before day's end to get done today (or tomorrow). I'm sorry about that,... and I do thank yous for your anticipated understanding of my circumstances and according patience. However, I have gone ahead and turned over the "Lineups" section at the web site so yous can go ahead and start submitting your lineups for Week 2.
Out,
Steg

I have no idea what the process is to put these stats together but, there are so many web sites that we can use to get instant results, trash talk, really for all fantasy needs? Would make thing much easier on you, no?

It dismays me to even have to be responding to such a post. I'm sure in your way, Danny, you mean well, but you really gotta think things through and not just impulsively make suggestions based on your subjective experience without more thorough and objective consideration. Setting aside for just a moment 1) MY FEELINGS and, more importantly, 2) the longer-term "bigger picture" plan and aspiration of this web site and that what you suggest in your post TOTALLY defeats that purpose, there are logistical concerns with your suggestion. I am virtually certain that there is NOTHING in the way of alternatives that can accommodate the GBRFL format in total as is and leave us with the autonomy to do whatever we want in terms of league rules and structure. That's kind of the bottom line. But, secondly, what need do we have for a message board for discussion and trash talk? Besides the fact that there ain't nothing more Cadillac out there in terms of message-board forums than what,... eh-hem,... your PERSONAL BUDDY has built here, we get a whole web site dedicated to our league, the GBRFL. The logo for the public message-board forum, "the Gridiron" here, is emblazoned with the GBRFL logo. We have absolute autonomy in structuring the league. And, there are the little things like having a site on which you can strut around as one of the king turds with "GBRFLer" under your name. I'm sure there's TONS MORE not coming to mind as I rush through typing this. Point is, think about the other side. Think about ALL you'd, we'd, be giving up if we took (the suggestion of) your suggestion seriously. The relatively small, nay, miniscule price to pay is a delay in the posting of weekly transactions/results every now and then when YOUR BUDDY is a little overwhelmed with life matters. What I don't want to hear at this time is that it is a reason to pack it all, NINE YEARS (from when the league site came into being) and UMMMMMPTEEEEEN HOURS of WORK on my end, in and head on over to some cookie-cutter set-up like Yahoo! But, anyway, you are talking about sites that can take care of "all of our fantasy needs".  How can I be but extraordinarily insulted by the mere suggestion that we should pick up and head over to some BS web site where we become just one of the millions of fantasy-footballing lemmings AND IN THE PROCESS CRUSH MY DREAMS FOR THIS LEAGUE AND FANTASYFOOTBALLER.COM THAT I'VE WORKED VERY LONG AND HARD AND SPENT A GOOD PORTION OF WHAT LITTLE "EXTRA" MONEY I HAVE ON because,... eh-hem,... one member can't handle waiting a few extra days every now and then for his weekly results,... a reality which, of course, is exacerbated because said member can't figure out the scores himself like pretty much all the rest of us can??? (I mean I already know I've won my games by something like 38-0 over Joe and 32-19 over Warner by doing the scores quickly pen-to-paper.) Danny, you are not even thinking through the logic of this as regards your own actions (you've been one of the ones who has been VERY generous to me, and I appreciate that, but) unless you guys are willing to pay me something like a work salary (in which case, then, if you think this through logically, there wouldn't be any problems because THIS would be my job, so to speak), I'm not looking to put the extra cash, by way of the extra "tips" and leftover funds from the league fees, I get from you guys merely into my wallet for pizza money or whatever; I'm looking to put it back into THIS PROJECT. OTHERWISE, if there were no FantasyFootballer.com and "the Gridiron", I wouldn't even ask for the extra tips from you guys nor even care much about what's left over for me of the league fees. Therein lies the rub. The whole point of YOUR making the generous donations that you do and my accepting them is THIS SITE and my dream for it. In all likelihood all will be back to normal (transactions posted within 30 or so minutes after the kickoff of the first set of games and results up by Tuesday/Wednesday) come next week or, at least, by Week 3 when Gino and I are finally over the hump here of another MONSTROUS MOVE. Mind you, I'm in the shell of an apartment right now typing this. I guess my bottom-line response is going to be this. THIS is the GBRFL @FantasyFootballer.com experience as provided by Steve Stegeman. Like it or leave it! You want the blah-blah-blah anonymous FFL @YouNameTheRun-of-the-MillFantasyLeagueManagementService.com provided by some random dude who happened to be better situated to capitalize on the Fantasy Football boom than your buddy who was making draft-day boards with crayons, ink markers and poster-board YEARS before companies started selling draft-day kits, go for it! There's a million out there. As for the GBRFL, it is what it is until I am in a position to make it something else, in fact, perhaps something more along the lines of what you are thinking, Danny, and you all's generosity helps me and us move in that direction. But, it's going to take time and little things like weekly results' going up a little late every now and then have to be endured. Just take your Prozac and ADS meds a little later in the week on those weeks, Danny, so you can hold on. MIND YOU, I DO appreciate your wanting to make things easier on me, BUT that's NOT the point, AND, not to say that it won't happen again, this is just ONE week, Danny. Hold on!  ... We're ALL eager to know Week 1's results. Guess what? ME INCLUDED!

Let me just chime in here real quick as someone who hears what Danny is saying but, in the end, recognizes the uniqueness in our league and value of Steve's efforts.
I agree with Danny that there a lot of sites out there that are good, that give instant scoring and everything. But our league is one that we (mostly the commish) orchestrated over time with rule changes to make it as realistic and arguably as luck-free as possible, with a 26 game schedule, no week 16 or 17 bullshit playoffs, extended week 17 ... to name a few.
Danny, you may be in another league, but if you are not, I recommend trying it out. I am in one of those leagues, which is good because I know the scores and stats right away and all, but in the end, what we have built over time in this league is something that those other sites cannot offer.

Site's, alas, UPDATED!!! "Results" and "Standings" pages are up-to-date!!! I apologize GREATLY for the serious delay here this week, and THANK YOU ALL  for you all's patience and understanding of my personal circumstances, which are, I am happy to say, resolving themselves. Anyway, enjoy perusing Week 1's results and the upside-down standings. Watch out for that CANCELLED Texans-Ravens game! And, get them there lineups on in by kickoff tomorrow!
Over and Out,
Steg
