Anyone use TSN for fantasy football?

My last year for sure using them (www.tsn.com). Reasons:

 

* manual drafts caused a lot of problems, delays, automatic picks because of lag etc.

 

* DAY BEFORE opening season they refund everyone their money saying because they are having so many problems we should just not expect the season to go well. sweet... so much time to make alternate plans...

 

* One of my leagues is messed, after Week 5 the standings froze. I was 4-1-0. There was a guy that was actually even 0-0-0. I got them to *fix* this (after 2 weeks and 3 emails) and their way of fixing it was to redo all the matchups so now instead of being in 1st or 2nd I'm in 5th. Basically I guess they didn't know how to fix it so they re-did each week with different opponents so my 4-1-0 was now 2-3-0 after Week 5.

 

Where do others play? Any suggestions for next year for me?

 

I'd love to try a keeper league if possible too.

Thanks man, I like your advice in other threads so I'll for sure check it out.

 

Thanks, appreciate it. FWIW, I also do 1 league on cbssportsline, and their interface is pretty good as well. Their fantasy insight is terrible, but the website and layout and features are decent.

MFL is well worth trying. We've been sold on it for years now.

 

Tried a work league on ESPN this year. Like the interface, hate the waiver wire functions and poor projections. For a free site it aint half bad, but considering MFL supports virtually ANYTHING you need, this is where hardcore leagues need to be.

 

Burton this reminds me, about 12 years ago I remember manually adding my game scores up with a calculator, ah those were the days...

That's the same as cbssports.com now right? And aren't they like $130 to use?

Yes. Used to be Sportsline. Now its CBSSports. And I think its even more than $130 for the returning teams that get the "early" discount.

 

Hugh is correct, though. The actual interface is solid and about as user friendly as you can get. Dont even bother with any of the analysis, though, unless you're in the market for gems like "5 backup players from the Redskins did not record a stat and should not be in your lineup" and other similar worthless garbage.

I've done MFL, ESPN, CBSSportsline and I think they all pale in comparison to good old yahoo. The interface is about as simplistic as it gets. The price is also right, it's FREE!!! Has anyone upgraded on Yahoo? I've hosted a dynasty league on Yahoo for 6 years now. I like how it keeps all the historical data. I'm thinking of uprading to expand the rosters a bit.

Yeah, I hear ya. If that's the case where it costs $130+, than I'd pass especially if the advice is awful. I'd take MFL any day then and pay half the cost.

I have actually used Yaho and am currently using them for 1 league and it is a pretty nice setup. I'd consider moving my league there. However, do they allow for blind bidding WW pickups prior to FCFS as an alternative to the random/changing WW order?

Yup last year with these guys FOR SURE. I made a trade that finally went through... or did it... I traded for Andre Johnson and it said it was successful but the original guys are still on my team and AJ on his... :wacko:

 

With their service I won't even be able to use him this week iif they will fix it. Pretty bad IMO.
