Conference 7.286::sports_90

    Ok, Attn: Football rotisserie leagues...
    
    How are you handling Rod Bernstein in your drafting?  HB? TE? RB?
    
    -Walt

I have a Thermos gas grill, and was wondering just what type
of generic rotisserie I should purchase to enhance my grilling pleasure.

Sometimes I like to grill big things on the rotisserie, like pigs,
and sides of beef.

Can any of you generic rotisserie type people make a suggestion for purchase?

Thank you,
'Saw

Dickster, the shroom harvest has been off lately.  Without the 
shrooms, Jimi doesn't come over as much, and therefore I find it
hard to retain that youthful quality...

I'm hoping Jimi brings that new guy the next time he comes over.

   RE:  pigs and beef.

   a  1/2 horse motor is plenty. bolt to steel plate, weld plate to
   cooker. use a chain drive and gears (just like a bike).

   the biggest potential problem is the spit. Good one inch pipe is fine
   for the pig, but if you are really trying to barbecue a cow, it'll bend
   too much, and it'll drag the motor. Don't try to keep the cow spinning!
   Move it, baste it, and leave it alone... then rotate some more, baste
   it and leave it alone.

Getting back on track....

Walt,

  We have Rod Bernstein defined as a RB in our league. Everybody knows he's
projected to play a majority of his downs at RB this year. We felt it would
be cheating if somebody picked him up and called him a tight end.

Doesn anybody know what the status of Marcus allen is this year? is he going to 
be backup tailback behind greg bell? or is he switching to fullback?

Speaking of bud, how many cases are recommended for doing a cow?


But seriously folks, one thing I have *always* wondered is why on
earth do they call it *rotisserie* league. 

It has nothing to do with barb-b-que, it has nothing to do with
cooking whatsoever.  I mean, they could have called it dyslexia
league, or kiwanis league or whatever...why rotisserie?

    Rotisserie League Baseball was developed in a now-defunct New York City
    restaurant called La Rotisserie, hence the name.  I believe either
    Peter Golenbock and/or Daniel Okrent (noted, but not necessarily good)
    baseball writers were involved.
    
    I'll save my personal opinions of the activity for another time since I
    believe I'm sort of out of the mainstream here.

The game was invented by a coupla dudes at "La Rotisserie", a swank restaurant
in Manhattan.

And thus was a legend born ...

Good thing they weren't eating at the 21 Club or the Russian Tea Room ...

    I;d like to know what other leagues people are in, what stats they use,
    what prizes there are, what they like/don't like about the rules, what
    kind of novel rules you have, stuff like that...
    
    I'll start by saying I'm in 2 DEC Hoop leagues, 1 non-DEC hoop league,
    and they all use Points/Rebs/Asts/Def.  I'm in 1 DEC baseball league,
    and 1 non-DEC baseball league, and they use the same (std) pitching
    categories (W, S, ERA, Ratio) and batting is (BA, HR, RBI, SB) in one
    and (BA, HR, Runs Produced (Runs+RBI-HR), SB)...
    
    I love all the leagues, and we are trying out some unique 'blind
    auction' rules next Monday in a brand-new hoop league (dubbed the BRA -
    easy, 'Saw, it stands for Basketball Rotisserie Association :-)...
    
    The outside leagues are minor money leagues, ($50 for the winner), but
    I have a blast wheeling and dealing in all of them...

    What can you say about a guy who sweats profusely in the Fenway
    bleachers?  How's Lynne anyway?  ha ha...
    
    Well, the defending DEC-FFL champs made some changes, but are
    looking to do that r-thing the 2-time W.C. (tm) Detriot (tm) Pistons
    are doing...
    
    QB - Cunningham, Kreig
    RB - Anderson, Sanders, E. Smith, Highsmith, L. White
    WR - Reed, Rice, Givins, Hill
    TE - Holman, Bernstein (commish gave me the option)
    K - Norwood
    C - Fontes
    
    I'm also in MRL, JAR, SAFN and BLB baseball rotisserie, and the DEChoop
    league...
    
    How many keepers do the other DEC-FFL leagues have?  We went from
    12 to 15....

Walt, I sweat EVERYWHERE!  Hell, it's pouring off me in buckets as I'm
sitting here writing...  That's the price of being a 'shroomhaid(tm) ;^)

Seriously, I've always sweat a lot, and I finally found a sport where 
EVERYBODY sweats a lot -- rugby (well, the backs don't sweat much, but
the forwards are really damp by the end of practice/game 8^))
So, now I can sweat my ass off, and no one cares....

Lynne is fine.  In fact I saw her last weekend and she's lookin'
better than ever... Might see her tomorrow (I hope), if we can
connect at the game.  


I'm not in any rotisserie leagues, but if I was, I'd probably sweat
there too.....

    For the Fantasy Football league playoffs, which weeks are they?
    Weeks 15 and 16 or 16 and 17?  What are we doing with the extra
    week?
    
    -Walt (I think I've clinched a tie)

As I've told Walt in mail....

Div_a must be full of a bunch of weenies if you've got somebody that has 
clinched the title this early in the season. Walt sent me his roster and 
he looks mighty tough to beat this year. Of course the rest of us play in
real divisions where people don't trade away Jerry Rice or Barry Sanders :-)

man oh man...


btw - We aren't using week 15 but the other divisions might be. So I assume
that the playoffs are weeks 16 and 17?

Metz

    Might be a good time to add a wild card team from each division.

    Week 15, the wild card team plays the division champ. The division
    champ gets a 10 point spot for winning the division. What do you
    guys think.

Chuck

    When are the FFL playoffs?  Weeks 16 and 17?
    
    -Walt

    Our playoffs begin this week. Wif da Super Bowl on week 17.

Thanks for the Intro Jesse, 

The Copper Mountain Snow Snakes are ready to strike out at all opponents. 

Jeff

    Our play-offs start this week with a wild-card play off...
    Next Week the best over-all record meets with the Wild-card winner and
    the other 2 division winners meet..
    
    Then in 2 weeks.... its is time for the...

    
    
       WAFFL BOWL!!!!!!!!!
    
    REK
    
    
    I know its two notes but the WAFFL BOWL deserves 2 notes..
    We had 4 teams tied for the last wild-card.. one team beat the other 3
    teams head-to-head.. unreal... The defending Champ (me) didn't even
    make the play-offs this year.. I lost in the tie-breaker  ...

    Isn't there a separate conference for this stuff?  I mean, it's just
    like wrasslin'- pure fantasy, nothing real about it.  Why force me to
    wear out my n/u key?  Gimme a break!

    I own our division.  We don't have no 'wild-card' junk.

    I own my division 11-3, and I get wreck the Seattle Ice Cream Men's
    season. Our league has 4 division/2 conference format so Winner A plays
    runner up from B and so forth.

    I resemble that remark Jesse!  My team, the Los Angeles Wave, was,
    and I stress, was, the most inovated, spirited, team in the league
    this season. So what, I only went 6-8 and got bumped out of the 
    playoffs. I lost four games by less then a fieldgoal, and two by
    less then ten points. Now considering my franchise has moved from 
    Dallas, where we were the Steroids, to Sacramento, then to L.A., all
    in two years; along with dealing with three coaching changes. I'd 
    have to give my boyz a pat on the back. Plus your 52-33 win against
    me was luck, and you know it Scurvy.
    
    Well, gotta go pack,..we be movin' to Japan, where we will be known
    as The Tokyo Assassins for next year.  I swear,..it's the last move.

    Sorry Hawk, but there's 4 separate divisions for FFL.  I didn't know
    how to reach the other divisions/owners... Not trying to make it a
    hype note, just asked a simple question...
