ok...i'll leave it alone due to the veteranship. Our league has been around since '92...so 27 years is the longest running I've heard of...that's impressive!
There was nothing like Monday mornings...tallying up your's and your opponents points by hand via the morning newspaper.
We started our league in '86 when a friend brought it back from Vegas with an incredibly simple scoring system.
We wrote our own rules and scoring system. Took us three or four years to land on the final scoring system which has basically stood since. Most PPR leagues have adopted a scoring system that resembles what we drew up. QBs in our league score more than most leagues. And our D/Special teams can almost get to as many points as all 7 offensive players combined if you catch a crazy Defensive / Special teams dominated game with several return TDs. In other words, like in the real NFL our scoring system was devised to allow the D/STs to win a game if they dominate as happens in the NFL. We like that distinction from other leagues.
Have a fun FF season, guys.

I ended up with Ezekial with the 12th pick. First 7 picks of the draft were WR. then David Johnson, AP, Gurley, Gronk were all off the board when it was my turn
Then i took Jordy Nelson on the turn. and when it came to me for the 3rd-4th round picks I knew I had to get some wr depth so I went with Edelmen and Moncrief. The second tier wr were all but gone by the time it came back to me. I was pretty happy with edelmen for ppr and I have high hopes for moncrief this year. Indy is going nuts for the guy. I almost took Aaron Rodgers here over moncrief. Also considered Kelvin Benjamin.
The 5the and 6th turn I took woodhead as a solid #2 ppr rb and coby fleener. The TE run had started and it was between him and Delanie walker. I went with the higher upside guy.
i wont bore you with all the other rounds but i drafted Tyrod as my qb in the 10th (4pts passing td and 6 pts rushing in this league)
I had my bone head moment in the 8th when I took Travis Benjamin in a panic as time was expiring when I could have had him 4 or 5 rounds later.
Picking 12th is hard. You almost have to reach on some picks because it's so long before you get to go again. An entire tier of a position is wiped out between your picks.

Congrats on making the playoffs.
Solid draft.
I would have congratulated you on winning it all if you took Rodgers instead of that sorry WR who cant catch
Nah he sucks
