Anyone here do Fantasy Football?

[Micallen]

I'm in a local league that is in it's 15th year. Just curious if anyone else here did it.

[tmason68]

I have in the past, but not in the last couple years.

[dollymadison]

I've never really understood it, but I would like to try it.

[Micallen]

ESPN F.F. ad up top. That's pretty cool. I wonder if I start a thread about p o r n, if the ads up top will be p o r n related??

[tmason68]

I've never really understood it, but I would like to try it.
We should play for money then.

[Micallen]

We should play for money then.

+1 !!

[dollymadison]

Ha. You guys will clean me out! I'm not into losing money; I already scream at the tv when the game isn't going the way I think it should. I'd hate to think how stressed I'd be if I was getting fleeced by you two! :D
BTW Micallen, I adore your avatar. So classy! :)

[Micallen]

Well, if enough people are interested, I'll start a KW Forums league up at Yahoo. We would just play for fun, of course. We just need 8 people to play. If you are interested, PM me your e-mail address. If we get 8 by the end of August, I'll start the league up.

Why thank you Dear. I'm a big Godfather fan.

[dollymadison]

You know, I have never seen any of the Godfather movies. I think fantasy football will be fun!

[Smh]

I'm in. I'll pm you my email address Micallen.

I haven't played FF in a couple of years... I joined a league with some friends my first year and won it all but there was no reward (just for bragging rights). I did join a yahoo league the next year and had a horrible season as I missed the live draft and didn't preset any of my picks so I got some mid level players but may join this year... Hoping the Chiefs have a much better year in 2010... it's been rought being a KC fan the last couple of years...

[Micallen]

I think we'll go the pre-set players route. I'd love to do a live draft, but it's almost impossible to get everyone together.

All right people, we've got 3, we need 5 more !!

[tmason68]

i will play if you can figure out my yahoo e-mail addy

[Micallen]

Need 3 more !!

[Micallen]

Certainly we can get 3 more for fantasy football. And make it snappy. DollyMadison is getting restless.

[dollymadison]

Yes I am. College football, NFL, fall weather, team gear, game day food, tailgating, candles, sweatshirts and jeans...YEAH!!!

Dallas v. Cincy left a lot to be desired the other night. Tony Romo is the most over rated QB in the NFL. The only reason he still has a job is because old man Jones seems to think he hung the moon. And if the Bengals can't do any better than that offensively they have got a loooong season ahead of them.

I wonder if Mr. I-can't-make-a-decision-to-save-my-life Favre will make up his mind BEFORE our draft? I'm not holding my breath.

[tmason68]

you should draft Favre with your first pick Dolly. he is the best

[Micallen]

There are 2 more slots open.

[dollymadison]

Ha! NOT! Peyton is and forever will be the ultimate QB. The fact that he played in the SEC and at my stomping grounds-Neyland Stadium-only strengthens my love and adoration for him. He is class and style all the way down the field. The Colts are MY NFL team, although they and the Titans jockey for position in my book. I did cry when Tony Dungy left.
If nothing else, at least Peyton can make a decision and stick to it. I hate wishy-washiness, especially in sports. Its irritatin'. :D

[dollymadison]

Sorry, irritating. My Southern accent is coming out in my typing. LOL

[Micallen]

Never apologize for a southern accent !!!

We still have 2 slots open... ya'll.

[Smh]

2 more. Cmon people! I'm itching to make my first round draft pick Tiki Barber.

[Micallen]

That would be an excellent pick (evil laughter).

[dollymadison]

Peyton Peyton Peyton Peyton

[tmason68]

Dolly, if I get the first pick in the draft, I will trade it to you for your first 3 picks. That way you can get Peyton. You're welcome.

[Micallen]

One year, a guy in my local league had traded away his first 4 picks. His first pick (in the 5th round):

John Kasay, K, Carolina

[tmason68]

Sweet. Lefty kickers usually go high.

[Micallen]

You listening Dolly? There's your second pick !!

[tmason68]

Yeah lefties have an advantage. They can kick with accuracy from either hash mark. It has to do with the way the earth's rotation and the cooler temperatures in the fall.

[Micallen]

It's been over a DAY since I've mentioned this: We still have 2 slots open for fantasy football.
Kitty?
Caleb?

[Micallen]

Still looking for 2 more participants.

[Micallen]

Still looking for 2 more teams.

Question for those that have already told me they wanted to join: Do you still want to move forward if we only have 6 or 7 teams? It's possible, but the scheduling doesn't work out as tidy.

I'm down for whatever since I WILL be winning no matter how many teams there are. :)

I hear ya. :cool:

[dollymadison]

I'm in. Ya'll haven't experienced the dolly playing sports, even if they are virtual. lol I WILL ABSOLUTELY kick it, so be prepared. :D

[Micallen]

Bump Bump Bump

[tmason68]

I don't really care that much. You could change it to 8 and open it to the public for the last couple.

[Micallen]

Last Call !!!
I will go ahead and set the league up soon and e-mail you the invitations. It would be nice if we could get 2 more.

But if not, we'll go with 6 teams.

[Smh]

Ten Inch Ditkas signed up and ready to go.

[tmason68]

I might be able to get 1 more.

[Micallen]

ten inch ditkas signed up and ready to go.

lol

[Cardiac]

I would play, but have never done it. Anywhere I can find a quick primer on FF?? Sign me up if you still need one more...


Is this the correct site? I can't find KW Forums there..... http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/


Bob

[Micallen]

I'll e-mail you the link... and some info this afternoon.

[Cardiac]

OK, sounds good!!

[Micallen]

We officially have 7 now. Tmason68, if you want to bring one more in, we're done.

[tmason68]

I thought I could get my wife to take the last team. She played back in the day. But she passed... I will work on her again tomorrow if no one crops up between now and then.

[Micallen]

Still looking for 1 more team. The new co-worker I had in mind is already in 2 leagues. Certainly there's one more out there that wants to play. If you're new to it, that's OK. We already have some first-timers playing as it is.

Come on... one more. :)

[Micallen]

OK, we're down to crunch time. I have to set a draft time, and there are still 7 members. I've asked 5 different people, and most were already in 2 or more leagues. I either need one more person to sign up, or I need one to drop out. Unfortunately, you can't have 7 teams. You can however have 6 (if we can't get one more.)

I would like to have this resolved by tonight so I can set the draft for tomorrow.

The NFL season starts this Thursday night !!!!!

[Micallen]

Hold the phone. Seconds after I typed that message, a freind texted me that he wanted in after all. I think we have 8 now !

[tmason68]

This was wonderful drama...

[dollymadison]

Lol
This was wonderful drama...

[tmason68]

I realize with 8 teams they are all gonna be good but....wow.....Brady, Moss, Chris Johnson and the Jets D. Me likey.

[Micallen]

...Unless you draft 8th. My team sux. Even DollyMadison will likely take me out. Just don't let her know. You know how she gets.

[tmason68]

Show us your managerial skilz and overcame the bad draft.
