American Football

I'll create a league, i know it can be adjusted but when are you guys free for a draft when do you think a draft would be good, august?

registration is soon, so whos interested

and i'm thinking about making a survival football league, yeah i think you know what it is, but if you don't its where you pick one team to win that week, if they lose your done, if they win, you pick again, you can use a team once

Are you talking about football (soccer) or american football?

[Red Stripe]

oh, american

[MattSharpIsCool]

I'm definitly in. Lets wait at least a little while on the draft.....free agency isnt quite done yet, and I'd like to wait until at least training camp gets going. But if we did do the draft earlier, I suppose that would be fine too. I'm excited for this season.

[dancetomdance182]

This season will be surprising. Is this going to be on Yahoo?

[pikester]

I'm in.

[Red Stripe]

This season will be surprising. Is this going to be on Yahoo?
yeah, unless theres any other sites that anyone knows thats better

[Timm]

I have a question:

Why is it called football when they rarely actually kick the ball in comparison to throwing/carrying it?

[Red Stripe]

^ i'm thinking its the shape of the ball? :confused:

[Black Ink]

I'm in. I won last year's although there was some controversy with unfair play between other people.

And lets not do survivor.

[nitzguy]

i'm down with it. i can't think of anything better than Yahoo right now.

i would do it closer to the season, so if and when people go down with injury for the season people can make plan accordingly :thumb:

[ThePatient]

Yeah, waiting another month or two sounds much better. ESPN's leagues have always been my favorite, but I'm tired of paying for it.

And as long as the survival thing is separate, then that's cool too.

So count me in for both.

[Illmatic]

Let's wait until the end of preseason, so no one gets burned by having one of their key players go down with an injury in a preseason game.

[nitzguy]

what is survivor?

[MattSharpIsCool]

You pick one team each week to win. If they do win, you move on. If they lose their game, you're done.

I lost in the first game last year....I dont remember who I picked, I think either San Diego or Houston.

[Red Stripe]

I was in a league last year, and to save a pick i picked Arizona over San Fran, i lost by a field goal, then joined another league, tryed the same same result lost by a field goal

[Stew_Blink]

I'm in...and it's called football becuase it started out a bit different, where you used your foot a fair bit. They slowly changed the game and they were to lazy to change the name. :p

I havn't ever been in a fantasy football league, just hockey. I'm a die hard packers fan, so you know who I'm gonna be pickin..

[The Buttloaves]

hm...sounds interesting
I might as well not even because the Skins won't win every week... :upset:

[dancetomdance182]

Yahoo starts today June 10th, so create the league and tell us the informatino for joining.

[Red Stripe]

when should i set the draft for, or should i put it as auto draft then adjust it when it comes time

[Endless Obsession]

Yahoo is by far the best. I would do an auto draft for it.

[Red Stripe]

Yes you should, because although I signed up, everyone who posted in this thread seems as if they want to join.

[Liberi Fatali]

Signed up.

[Black Ink]

20 people is too much. Who ever has the 20th pick is going to be very screwed. Last season I think it was 16 and a lot of people had #3 backups in their lineups. 20 is just nuts.

[ikikdababy]

joined.

[MattSharpIsCool]

Maybe cut it down to 12 teams? Like Black Ink mentioned, we dont want a bunch of third stringers who never play on our team.

[Vaya]

hey i wanna join i got in 2nd place last year i lost to black ink :(

[Red Stripe]

We need an even number of teams, we have 11, one more person

[nitzguy]

joined

[Red Stripe]

ok thats the league limit right now, i'll add 2 more people if 2 more people say there gonna join, but only if theres 2, if only one too bad, i dont want any bye weeks

or other alternative, someone else make another league
