2025 TalkBears Fantasy Football League

Featured Replies

GMs, I have renewed our annual TalkBears Fantasy Football Keeper league, which is now entering its 16th season.

We need at least one new GM for this upcoming season. There may be more openings if we don't get commitments in time for the draft.

Once we get the confirmations, we can schedule the draft for late August and I can send out the LeagueSafe payment dues ($75 per team).

The winning payouts are as follows:

1st - $440
2nd - $200
3rd - $75
4th - $35

The payment deadline is usually Week 4, so people have some time to pay the dues. However, if payment is not received by then, that GM will be removed and the best recommended roster will be played for that team the rest of the season. 

If you have any questions, let me know, we normally conduct the draft a few days prior to the kickoff game around 7pm Central. 

I will send out a weekly reminder until the last week of July or until we have 10 commitments.

I get out tomorrow, the surgery went well, but because it was because of an infection, it takes 6 weeks to retest for infection,so I could possibly have to get it redone it two months. I'm optimistic it works. I'll check with my two friends to see if they are still in play. 

 

Mike came to see me and he said he would get back in. I havent checked with Chad yet, maybe he has contacted you but I am pretty sure he will get back in.

I have no way of knowing unless they post on the message board or make a payment. When the league renews, it auto-renews all the teams with an active GM. So we are still down one team.

We are danger close to the start of the season and still in need of 1x new GM. If we don't get one, the only option is to reduce the number of teams. That would slightly alter the payouts and playoff structure. 

Once we have that locked in, we can set a date/time for the draft a few days prior to the kickoff game.

Adam send a league invite to Scott Seacrist/    ScottSeacrist@yahoo.com

The My Team Sucks team is my friends (mike) and I will change to his email on that team.

I talked to Chad Capes, and he is getting back in it, if he hasnt responded to the league reset

When we get ready to pick a draft date, I have a live draft on Sept 3rd, also Chad does on that day too.

Yeah, right now I was looking at the night of the 31st (SUN), 1st (MON), 2nd (TUE), to see what works best for the most GMs. Once we get a majority, I will lock in that date, probably around 7pm CST.

Sunday the 31st works good for me since I would not have to worry about missing it because work goes late. So unless there are any objections, I will set the 31st at 7pm Central for our draft on Wednesday (20th). If you have a conflict, and need a different date/time, please let me know before Wed.

Adam, how do we pull up the draft results from last year?

They actually made it harder than previous seasons to find the draft results:

https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/140564/draftresults?drafttab=team&draft_results_period=previous

Are the keepers the first player listed for each team? They have a K on almost every player?  And what team is Scott taking over?
