Many years ago I ran a 48 team league on the Huddle with fair to middling success.  I am contemplating offering this option again this summer but curious to see how many others would be interested.

 

In a "Mega League" you basically have four different "conferences" of 12 teams each that draft like separate leagues.  But each conference follows the same rules and same schedules.  The key is that these teams play an abbreviated schedule and only the top 2-4 teams move on to the "Playoffs"

 

The Playoff contenders then enter into a new bracket and are seeded.  There is a very good possibility that some teams in the playoffs would possibly have the same players at one or more positions.  This can be awkward, weird or a real strategy play.  In our case several years ago only three NFL players matched up against each other and in one case the owner benched the star player and the backup outscored him.  The point is, you can view it as a roadblock or a challenge.

 

The benefit of a "Mega League" is that you get one owner out of 48 Huddlers that can truly claim the Huddle Championship and receive a special banner/trophy.

 

The pain of a Mega League is finding 48 owners that commit to playing all season and pay their dues in advance.  I would be willing to run it and guarantee the payouts but only if interest is shown.  I realize there are leagues some Huddlers have played on that would want to keep operating and of course they would be pinned here also.  

 

Please vote and/or add in your two cents.  It is a Public Poll (non-binding, just collecting list of potential owners) and there is option to vote for more than one.

Does the 160 mean you paid yourself to put the league on? Just curious

 

 

yes.  I fronted the money but it came out of the prize money at the end.

 

at the time this was the only platform I could find that would support multiple leagues sourcing a late season playoff league.  I suspect there are more and cheaper options now than 8 years ago.

 

I know it's early but just gauging interest for early summer organizing.

I just decided I'm not going to do a "mega" league.  Don't think we have 48 committed players.

 

I will be renewing the two from last year though, I'm sure there will be new openings.

 

did you run the one that I won last year? I'd be back in on that if it's going again.

      Two Athletic articles about QBs

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      That's part of being patient too. Not rushing players into roles they aren't ready for. Make them earn it. If you convince yourself that "so and so" needs to start because they were a first round pick, even though they have done nothing to earn it, you have set up both team and player for failure. You can convince yourself all day long that "there is no substitute for game experience" but if the guy can't do his job in practice, he can't do it in a game. Not consistently, anyway.  Teams like the Steelers, the Ravens and the Packers ROUTINELY bench rookies to start off with and no one bats an eyelash. Even if the team is losing. Because that's what they do. They have set the precedent. The players have to show they are ready. Then they get their chance.

      Let me provide you with some food for thought. Before this "now era" of the NFL, QBs were allowed time to develop. Everyone from the GM to the fans had more patience. QBs were simply better in the old because they were afforded the time to sit, observe and learn. It's no wonder that guys we threw away, or simply didn't want, have had varying degrees of success elsewhere.  Some Huddlers were talking crazy about Jordan Love and Lamar Jackson---just crazy...

      I think the JAG debates are largely people having vastly different definitions of JAG.  The OG JAG LB debate was James Anderson.  And James Anderson is probably going to be ahead of Shaq on my alltime LB list (it's really close though).
