Ok, who is running it this year??

I would like to defend my title, but am too lazy to organize it.

lol... .  you got lucky  ;D  I really would like have a prize for the winner or something.. if we all put in like $2 - 5 im sure we can buy a TDMMC t-shirt and play for that?

idk I bring it up every year and it gets shot down so I figured I bring it up again.

Why don't YOU take the lead on this one and set it up?

I think I might run it this year.

However, if I do, it's not for money.

I'm setting up a league right now.

Please PM me your email addresses so i can invite you.

 It is a 10 team league on espn.com.

Hope to see you all there soon.

That is, if we even have FB this year  :-\

What size t shirt?  One size fits all is bullshit. 

In the case where we'd be pooling money for a T-Shirt, I'm going to assume we could wait with actually spending the money until the winner was found. (Actually pooling the money sounds like a hassle, though).

dolphins4life - Thanks for taking the lead and setting up the league.

Suggestion...

Go to the ESPN page and do the "invite a friend" thing, and invite yourself (put your email address there).  Make sure the league is set to "Private" and you set a password to join.

Then, copy-paste the email you get from ESPN, link included, and password, and post it here.

I'm using a different option

Well I email you guys, you should get a unique link

You must join through this unique link

I'm in there like swimwear. 

2 people in, anybody else?

Remember, PM me your email

Does everyone want to do this? I think it would be a good idea.. play for a TDMMC tshirt

no, there are legal complications with that.

I remember I went to a chess tournament where they guy paid out the winner without him filling out anything and he said he could have gone to federal prison for that.

I'm not going to federal prison.

Sorry guys, it's just for pride this year.

I'm down with keeping it for bragging rights like always.  Even if I won, nobody around here would give a rat's ass about it.

did you get my invite yet, STL?

Yeah, thanks.

Ya, like nobody around here cares that I won it last year.  Speaking of which, to all the competition:  I'm better than you.  Nana boo boo, stick your head in doo doo. :D

WHOSE GONNA AIM FOR MY CROWN!  CAN'T WAIT!

By "around here" I meant where I live, but it applies to here on the board also.

Just to clarify - people play fantasy football across the country for thousands of dollars every year and no one goes to federal prison for it.

The difference between this and your chess tournament is that here, everyone would chip in $1 to buy a prize for the group, and the winner gets the prize. 

I'm pretty confident that you can't be put in federal prison for giving out a group-owned t-shirt as a prize at the end of a game.  But hey, I'm no expert...

I'm in multiple fantasy football/basketball/baseball leagues every season that either give out small prizes from a group pot, or cash that is collected from the league members. I've been doing those types of leagues for a verrrry long time. Nobody "ever" goes to prison/jail/the Gulag for awarding a prize in a fantasy football league.

My guess is that if the prize is substantial enough AND not partially funded by yourself, the IRS might wanna know about it.  So, having the winner fill out tax papers would be required.

However, I doubt the IRS cares about a t-shirt.

But, its your league, your world.

There was nothing wrong with winning that money.  The problem is, he needs to report that money to the IRS.  Granted, he doesn't have to fill out anything at that moment, but he must report it by the end of the year.  Unless he won a huge amount, he probably won't go to jail.  However, he could be looking at a major fine, plus interest and penalties if he failed to report it.


You're right.  According to the IRS website, gambling winnings are fully taxable.   However,  I'm pretty sure the monetary value of a t-shirt is something the IRS won't pursue because it will cost them more to go through the legal process of recouping the interest and penalties from the value of the t-shirt than to just let it go.  They've got bigger fish to fry.

Sure we do,rat's ass ok,possum,raccoon,small dog...You're pushing your luck.... :D ;)

B, are you in?

Anybody who is in, PM me your email address

To clarify it was not the winner the TD (tournament director) said could go to federal prison.  It was the TD himself he was referring to.

I am in!!!!!

Nope.. I'm **Retired** ....Only a very acute set of circumstances would I make a comeback....

Ok that's five people in so far.

Technically we need only one more for an even number of teams

Like a TDMMC T-Shirt  ;D

I'm glad this thread got semi back on track.  Soooooo...I'm going to keep talking shit until we get a full league going...like ten or more people.  Ahem..........

I'm the Chuck Norris of this site.  I roundhouse kicked all of your asses last year to victory.  This year, it looks like all I need to to is throw a jab and it's mine again.  Smell what I'm cookin'?

The only reason you won is cause I wasn't in the league.  You think you impress somebody?  Your mediocre skills are nothing to brag about.  Weak.

And, no, I will not join this year either.

Unfortunately, the all-time leader in most TDMMC fantasy titles won't be participating in this one either... Like Lil_B, I've retired from the TDMMC fantasy sports arena. ;)

Quitters

Well, we need one more person for six, which would work, but getting eight would be nice

Hey he won last year fair and square I am ok with that......it is his shit talking that is weak!!!!!  ;)

This is like the person who doesn't vote, but tries to argue politics.  Your opinion doesn't matter.  Join up. ;)

I never claimed it was strong lol.  I was pretty drunk when I typed that anyways.  Sounded good at the time!

Tenshot you need to erase that "Whiskey Drinking Fool" and add "2010 Fantasy Football Champion"  the only thing you get for winning is that space.. thats where I put my "2009 fantasy Football Champion" and I wouldnt talk to much shit wining it just one year.. put one more under your belt and maybe a little bit of shit talking is permitted..  ;D

Lol I don't really care that much that I won last year, I was just trying to entice some more people to join up because it was fun to play with more people.

yea the more people that play the better.. they were no challenge anyway

Ooh, ooh!  I want in also!

^^^^

PM me your email address and I'll send you an invite

What are we working with 10 right now?

We have seven on board right now.

Stinger and meca, check your email and follow the link.

We need 1 more or three more.

Hopefully we can get it

if we get one more, I will switch to yahoo's fantasy, because espn doesn't allow you to play with eight, whereas yahoo does.

I have all your email addresses, so it shouldn't be too much a problem

bump!!


We could use more players.. anyone?

I'm at work but will sign up first chance I get

There are only 4 people signed up in the yahoo league we have got to be able to get at least 8

Sorry, I've been away for a few days, did we switch to Yahoo?

Disregard.  I found the invite in my spam folder.

^^ my email addy

Ok, I hope you ladies are ready for an ass whooping!!

thank you welker! lol

Oh how the mighty have fallen!  If this was an NFL team, my playoff hopes would be dead!  Good thing it's fantasy football....Who's ready for a comeback? 



This guy

I posted a message about a potential trade.  I have 3 good quarterbacks:  Cam Newton, Tony Romo, and Matt Ryan.  If your team needs a QB, let me know.  I'll even take kickers!! (ok maybe not literally, but I'm sellin low)

who gave me my first loss?!  :-(

Good season thus far bro's!!!  ;D

That would be me...started out 0-5 and now have won 5 straight.  I can thank Arian Foster finally being healthy for that.

Frank Gore screwed me last week.  not even ONE point.  ugh.  And starting Newton over Romo was clearly a bad choice.


Idc, I'm not making excused..I just wanted the perfect season!  haha  Congrats on the victory and good luck the rest of the way to you and EVERYONE!!

Big game for me this week!! Good luck bro's

Boston Title Town?


I'm King Nothing..huge game for us!

Piso Mojado (aka me) slipped on the wet floor and broke a hip this season. 

yes, sir... Only advantage I have I think is that I have brady and you have welker.. kinda a draw in points

Why don't you offer a Flex option yahoo..WHY?!?!?!?!?!

Coming down to the stretch..

Well tubba, you got revenge for earlier in the season.  No repeat champ this year.  Good luck to the rest of you!

Thanks dude!  Yeah, we definitely a little bitter from earlier in the season lol.  Looks like it's going to be me and Dirty Sanchez in the finals.  Great season guys. 

I enjoyed commissioning the league this year and hope to do it next year with more people.       

BOW TO THE KING!!
