I will be sending out the invites to the CCTimes Raider Rant Fantasy Football League very soon. I will send out invites to the "active players" from last year, then I'll ask for additional CCTimes Ranters who will remain active in the league. Email me if you want to join.

We used NFL.com last year and I was thinking of using it again this year. I tried to switch over to yahoo last year, but nobody accepted the invites and signed up for it. It sounds interesting because you can draft defensive players and you can have more people in the league, but I couldn't find anyone that wanted to do it on yahoo.

Hey, I sent invites for the CCTimes league out via NFL.com to Stew, Sacbomber, Valley, Prame, PortRaiders, and who I think is Anthos (let me know if I got you bro). I also sent one to Avalanche as well, and asked X to send me his email. I know I can count on Stew, Sac, Vally, Port, and Anthos to sign up, Rame, you've got to join us this year on NFL.com. I don't mind doing another league on yahoo, but you would need to set that one up. I tried last year and nobody joined. Assuming everyone above accepts the invites, we will need at least three to five more to start the league. IF I DID NOT MENTION YOU IN THE PREVIOUS LIST AND YOU PLAYED LAST YEAR, I DO NOT HAVE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESSES ANY LONGER TO SEND YOU AN INVITE. YOU NEED TO SEND THEM TO ME. SAME THING IF YOU'VE NEVER BEEN IN THE LEAGUE. SEND ME YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. ONLY RULE IS YOU HAVE TO REMAIN ACTIVE THROUGHOUT THE SEASON. Future, as always, you want to play, email me, but I already know your answer. lol.

I couldn't pass up the opportunity to whoop up on Valley and Sac.  This beating I'm gonna give them this year will be for Daunte Culpepper and all the debates over Josh McCown! lol P-Rame

Why do you have to take a shot at me? I'm minding my own business, just wanting to play some fantasy football and I hear you want to whoop up on me.... not cool man. Ha Ha I look forward the the challenge. Last year I probably made the worst trade ever to Stew and lost my whole season. Ha Ha your Welcome Stew.

Nah, that wasnt a shot at you.  I was simply stating what my intentions were when I joined the league.  My shots at you will come down the road starting with the CCTimes draft.  Now if I would have said, Valley and Sac both suck at fantasy football, that's taking a shot at you lol.  Stew is in this league too?!  Good because he is going to catch it too. lol P-Rame

So far we have me, Navigata, Prame, Sac, Stew, Anthos, Port Raiders signed up. We're waiting on Valley and Avalanche to sign up, and I am trying to get Xplosive to send me his email so I can invite him to. We need three more from the site and we're ready to roll.

You mean the debate between 2 QB's, one of which who is currently employed (though regretting using a chainsaw...dummy) and one who is not and has no real prospects either? I thought you wanted to win at Fantasy Football lol.

There you go again, saying ridiculous nonsense to try to seem as if you were right.  McCown has a job but it wont be a starting job.  The only reason Daunte isn't signed yet is because he had that stupid groin injury from racing Stanford Routt (idiot) but once the preseason kicks off, he'll find a job just like he did with us last year.  Like usual, don't count your chickens before they are hatched and a job in march compared to a job in august doesnt mean anything P-Rame

Ridiculous?  Are you kidding me?  Man I am so glad that both you and Future do the same stuff you're constantly accusing me of in that you refuse to adhere to reality on some points of view. 2 days into FA and McCown had a job.  Several days into training camp and Culpepper is still out with no suitors.  Why?  Because he's damaged goods and he's lost it.  Everyone else in the NFL has realized it.  Hell, Oakland keeps signing Jeff Ottis and Sam Keller instead of just asking Culpepper back.  Last I checked, you look at the best QB's available first. How long does it take to come off a groin in jury again?

Hey, glad to have you with us, although I haven't seen Valley sign up yet, he can get a bit technically challenged at times. I'm hoping Av and X join up too.  Otherwise, most everybody is there, leaving us with a need for three more from the site.

So I noticed that you were voicing a bit of a concern regarding my status for FF.  You mentioned it....3 separate times to 3 separate people. lol It's taken care of bud, I saw the email the other day but I hadn't gone back to my email over the weekend.  The Platypii are back baby!

I used to be in a league for NFL.com and I guess I could join up again since I should still have an active username and password.  I just dont like having to jump from site to site to track my fantasy teams and I will have at least 3 teams under my Yahoo account with a limit of 4.  I was hoping your league could be the 4th and I could look at all 4 teams on the same home page.  Oh well, no big deal.  I will look at draft info to see if I will be able to make the live draft.  Yahoo does have more options to expand the league which is why I like it. By the way, I saw your post to Stew and if Stew was a boxer and I was his trainer, I would be throwing the white towel in the ring right now! lol.  Now in fairness to Stew, I haven't read his post so I am not sure that you recited everything he said correctly but if it is all correct, you killed him on that! lol.  I think the point that people like Stew and Future are trying to make is that we were ok at running back enough to pass on McFadden.  I agree with you though that we were not STACKED at running back and I agree that DMAC brings a gamebreaker element that none of the others have. I saw your point on Wheatley and Garner.  Very good.  I also your point on TD to fumble ratio for Fargas.  Very good as well.  I told Future that if Fargas don't put up some TD's this year, he will be replaced by McFadden at some point because we need a guy to change the game by putting up points and there will be too much pressure on Kiffin to get that man in the game if we are lackluster on offense.  Excellent post but it was way too long! lol  I felt like I was reading a book on the 2007 Raiders lol.  Take care dog.  I'm out P-Rame

PRame, Unfortunatly Prame, I think you are mixed up, the first post in that thread was Stews. The second post was mine. My point is that McFadden was the best potential player in the draft, I wanted him on this team, but with Fargas proving his worth, and with another back with good potential in Bush, I really didn't see the need to draft McFadden when we cant stop the run or when our oline is so weak, we can't pass. So with as much as I would like to take credit for such a great post I can't, my post, the response, is the second one. I believe, that I'm with the future on this one. We need a foundation. But, from what I'm hearing, even with my response, Stew has officially handed me my own "[bleep]" so to speak...

I guess Stew is the one on a role lately because I just finished complimenting him on a post where he compared Reggie Bush to Jerry Porter.  So I guess it was you that I had felt got demolished in that debate.  My bad lol.  Well, our fantasy league should be fun.  I have always wanted a chance to get you guys in fantasy so, I am looking forward to it.  I'm out.

I look forward to playing with everyone though. If only Future would get off his high horse we would have just about everyone

Sac, I too am saddened that the Future won't join in on the "exploitation" of NFL players as he calls it, but I've tried for two years to get him to join and he won't do it. But, maybe we can pursuade him to join somehow, but something tells me he won't do it.

Ha Ha I think it is more to do with the fact that he knows he can't assemble a good team. He probably played once before and sucked LOL. No I'm with you, I would like for him to play so then we have the majority of the regulars in one league, but we will have fun regardless. I hope to assemble a better team this year LOL.

Sac, Yeah, I think he might be scared just a little bit. lol. Anyway, yeah, I like seeing the regulars from here play FF, it makes it more fun. The first year, this one guy KY Raider was the only one from here that played. Then the next year it was just Prame and I, because Valley couldn't figure it out and Future won't exploit players. Last year, I made the league private and was a blast IMO. Right now, we have 7 people signed up and three people invited who have yet to join, I'm waiting on a response from Avalanche, Xplosive, and RaiderD1. We need at least two more to invite. Can you guys think of anybody. I know Future and Birdwell won't play ever, so they aren't options.

Ha Ha Ha OUCH!!! yea that was a horrible trade on my part and I should have payed more attention to the fact that Harrison was already nursing his leg at the time. I just needed a WR and since I had manning I figured it would have been a nice tandem. Good trade on your part though Ha Ha. And it depends on what kind of hot dog man.

Sac, Man, I see you calling me out.  LOL!!!  After last year?  Did you pick up Manning in the 1st and then act like you picked him "by mistake"?  Wasn't that you?  Last year was my first time playing ever and I had a blast.  I'll be a little bit better this year, I hope.  I ended up missing the playoffs by one game against Port.  He's on my hit list.  LOL.  I am still waiting for the obligatory Valley "Brady Quinn" pick and for you to take the Skins' D since they have Stu.  LOL.  Stay up.

Yeah, that was Sac complaining about having the 3rd pick and being "forced" to take Manning. lol. Hey man did you have a chance to see the response to your post to me on DMAC? I think you officially whopped my [bleep]  on that topic, I caught heat from several people. I guess that's what I get for trying to crush peoples hope. I don't think anyone on this site agreed with me. I guess I'm the only one who thinks Fargas will stay on as the starter this year and I guess I'm also the only one who feels DMAC has great potential, but we should have passed on him to shore up the Dline. Well, I promised you I'd respond and I did. But I think I'm going to shut up about if for now.

Navi, Yeah I saw it, but not until recently. Interestingly enough, my wife and I have the exact same b-day and we're the same age (July 17th) and she got me a trip to Vegas.  Anyways, so I was out of town and when I got back from there on Sunday and I hit up the site and see all this isht about an "official" response.  I read it and I'm letting that isht marinate. LOL. I'm gonna get at you on it sometime tomorrow most likely. Haven't had the time to put in a quality post on it.  LOL.  BTW - thanks for the league invite this year.  It should be a blast for real.   Stay up.

Stew, That's what I'm sayin, I got transfered into a new job that leaves me no extra time, it's killing me. I put in 10.5 hrs today, didn't leave until 730. I'm not board anymore, but damn... As far as my post is concerned, I told you I was going to respond, I just wanted to put some effort into it after all that work you put into your post, which was pretty heavy by the way. I didn't want to respond with a sentence or two, that would have been cruel on my part and I would have lost my point. lol. Most people thought you killed me, good thing future made me the god of darkness otherwise you may have put me down. lol. But, even though I like the pick and see your point, I still don't think it was a smart move by the franchise. I'm glad you signed up again, the league is a lot of fun and look at us all, talking trash over a month before the season starts. lol. But I have one thing to say, I'm only #4 on the hitlist? What's up with that? If I remember correctly, I whopped on Valley last year, I thought I beat Sac and his best friend Payton too. lol.

Navs, Yeah man, I'm going to get to that post.  I saw your point as well, but I have more to say a bit later on it.  You're #4 on my list by process of elimination.  Port cost me the playoffs so that makes him #1.  Sac called me out and both he and Valley disrespected the ghost of Culpepper (LOL), so that makes them #2 and #3.  Plus since they're related, I gotta do both of them up to keep it in the family.  And if that isn't enough, ANYBODY repping McCown AND saying that Stu is as good as ST automatically makes the list.  LMAO (j/k Sac and Valley).  You're at #4, though it really isn't personal, just bidness.  And that leaves Rame, who is unproven in my eyes but smack talked me. LOL.  It should be fun.

Well, ok, Sac and Valley being on board with McCown is reason enough, I'll give you that.  I thought that Cali polution was bad but damn. lol. Anyway, concerning Prame, well the first year I did this league, he dominated it and I was horrible, however one of the only games I won was against Prame, so I guess it kinda worked out. lol. I think #1 on my list is either the Fighting Platipi is #1 or you. I remember beating Valley last year, but I believe you beat me by just a few, but I guess it really depends on my division.

LOL.  As far as me being a top notch coach, I can't quite say that yet. LOL.  I had never played before and made some draft mistakes.  I think I started 0-6 or something like that.  Then around the middle of the year, I strated picking up on some things and changed my strategy and went 8 of the next 10, just barely missing the playoffs.  I plan on dominiating too so watch out! LOL!!! Stay up.

Sac, Well, Valley's right about one thing: you do run a second rate franchise cause you got less for Farve then Ted Thompson will and that's saying something.  But Valley, come on man.  How are you gonna dare make fun of a team name when you are still using that sad [bleep] "Fighting Platypi" garbage?  First off, those platypi were fighting for isht last year and second, your team laid down and got f'd faster than Lindsay Lohan with Patron shot.  You need to drop that name and get start fresh.  I got some choices for you: 1.  The Schweigert Squids 2. The Budapest Bass 3. The "Twenty Dollar Sack" Turtles 4. The McCown Manatees If you use any of them, I want my royalties. LOL.  Stay up.

Sac, On the real - sorry about hurt your feelings.  Just kidding with you, I think I started 0-4 or 0-6 or something like that so I can't really talk about second rate franchises. LOL.  I'm hoping for better this year.  The trade would have been good if Harry would have not been hurt but that's how it goes.  My first pick of the draft was LJ so I barely have any room to talk!

Thats a good question. I have to believe it will rely on Russell. I think it was be based on how much he is asked to pass and how well he will deal with the pressure. I don't think our OL is going to give him much time to pass the ball so how he protects it and how many turnovers he can prevent will be a huge part to winning games. We lost a lot of games that way last year and we also had poor receiver play. We were in a lot of games until the QBs turned the ball over. Based on that I think that we can win games with our average WRs as long as we have the running game going and the QB is able to take care of the ball.

Thanks to Raider Dave for stepping up and joining. Avalanche is the last one invited, but he's been MIA for about a month, I wonder if the penguins got em. We need one more as an alternate or to take Av's spot.

Its all good though cause I wanted to get Gore LOL!!! we know how that turned out. Ha Ha the Skins' D looks a whole lot better now with Taylor going over there. Oh and rumor has it that Stu was cut a couple of days ago. I haven't really looked it up, but I heard it on the radio. I'll tell you what though. Throw in some beef jerky and a pack of 5 gum and you have yourself a deal.

He's my boy, but 10 bucks says he's like the Rajon Rondo of the league. Kinda cool, but not a cat that you'd EVER take seriously.  LOL.  Stay up.

Yea we have a lot more smack talk going around before the league even starts so it sounds like we'll be a bit more active. Ha Ha I'm sure we can all put together a team, but if FUTURE were here he would be screwed HA HA he would draft Fargas and have to sit him by week 7 because of injury LOL Kidding Future.

You just compared me to a Reebok company man, Rajon Rondo who I think is overrated.  I aint just gonna mention your name, I'll spell it too, when I say that "S-T-E-W is gonna get his [bleep] stomped  this year.  I was in Navi's league once and I did better than he did.  I have most of my leagues in Yahoo and I have several trophy finishes. Only 4 teams made the playoffs in Navi's league but I still finished 2nd in my division that year.  I'm coing after you! lol  I'm out. P-Rame
