Would anybody be interested in starting a private league using the ESPN system? It's free, but we would need to know how many are interested in joining before the league is started (4 teams minimum, 20 max).
I'm in YG... Nobody else around here will do it, they are too chicken!!! :evillaugh
Worse comes to worse, we can get other scrubs for the message board to join

I think Blackjack is right. This might start too much smack talk and petty bickering, I guess you can count me in.
YoungGun you might want to bar females from this because they don't know what they are doing and that means they usually end up winning.

Hey Al, talk smack to Terry... That will get him... Something about comparing raking in big pots at the Plaza and his fantasy football skillz... :thumbsup:

UMMM Killer...Lets just say that not only do I know a "little something" about Football but I am more than game to kick your a$$. I happen do at least one live draft every season and if not win then be in the playoffs every year since I did it, and at least with me it is not dumb luck. This female not only likes football but was schooled on grandpas knee on how to pick the winners. Every week my I pick a 20X reverse and more often then not I am in the plus side.
I am in...Watch out boys I am out for blood.
Oh Shit Killer, thanks...
Sweet Sammi!!!!!! Look forward to playing with you... Uhhh , fantasy football that is... :goofy:

Terry? What the heck would a Raider fan know about football? I got a team name for him, though - "Dope Smoking Malcontents".
Every week my I pick a 20X reverse and more often then not I am in the plus side.
If I had a clue what that meant I think I'd be very afraid.

Does a 10 team league sound good? Or should I make it bigger? It can be up to 20. I prefer smaller leagues so that we won't have to start drafting second string guys, but I want to make sure there's enough room for everyone that's interested. It looks like we have 6 interested right now so maybe a 10 or 12 team league would work best?

Raider Nation is not pleased with your disrespectful tone.
I was going to pass, because I'm in too many leagues already, but now...
If we're going to do this, we better get it up and running, so people can get signed up, and we can figure out when to have the draft. I agree that fewer teams means better talent per team, which is more fun.

Since I live in Bills country which has REAL NFL football I'll have to pass. But maybe them there folks in Cali would have interest in fantasy football, like LV Terry.
Oh, oh, oh check with folks in southern Florida also. I heard they are hurting for some real football too.

You just leave'em on the floor? You should build a hall of fame around them. But maybe you want to wait a few more decades until you have enough history to look back on...

If you need another Im in for sure, although I 2nd the recommendation for yahoo. Why pay 20 or 30 bucks when you can get it for free.
Beware if you let me play, I am the buffalo bills of my current league (which means your in trouble unless you are playing me in the finals)

Nothing like some good old football smack before the season starts. More fun to come when some of us will be eating our words as the season unfolds.
By the way Raider fan, where do the Black and Silver call home these days. Too bad the Raiders can't move the football as well as their team.

Bobby,
That is one of the best football smack posts I have seen on this board.
All I can say is :nworthy:
