yea, im not a huge fantasy football guy... i like drafting teams because i can pick random people like sam aiken, but overall ive always felt that fantasy football takes away from the unbiased enjoyment of football
but i was invited by a friend at the last minute to join his sporting news "salary cap" league... not sure if anyone is familiar with them(cause i wasnt), but the jist is that you get $35M of cap space, and you have 7 slots... 2QB, 2RB, 2WR/TE, 1DEF... there is no draft, players can be on every team in the league if it goes down like that. the trick is, players are allotted a certain monetary value depending on how many teams own said player and how well said player performs. so if you want larry johnson or shaun alexander, you have to spend about $11 million of your 35M cap to get him, and then distribute the remaining cap space on the other 6 slots.
if you get some sleepers and their value goes up over the course of the year, you "sell them" like stocks and your salary cap grows. whoever has the largest salary cap at the end of the year wins the pot.
but yea anyway, i had to pick my team at the last minute(aka about 11 am sunday morning), and this is what i came away with...
QB1 Kurt Warner - $6.9 Mil
QB2 Tom Brady - $8 Mil
RB1 Steven Jackson - $5 Mil
RB2 Frank Gore - $2 Mil
TE1 Ben Watson - $2 Mil
TE2 Antonio Gates - $5.8 Mil
DEF Philadelphia Eagles - $3.5 Mil
so i got two
ing steals in jackson and frank gore, who combined for almost 300 total yards and 2 td's... their stock is gonna go thru the roof bitches
