    WHO HAS RUN FF LEAGUES IN Exit 42 or another site ? Honestly it has to be really easy but I don't have time to do it.

    I think we need to run a Packerrats.com league only for members in this site.

    That was one of my suggestions for the expansion of the PR site. We definitely should get a league together--even if its a lame-arse Yahoo league. I think it'd be totally fun to get into the fantasy football trenches with you guys and gals.

    I run two leagues on my own, but am a fantasy football addict.

    The Yahoo site is lame for FF? I thought it was fine last year when we were there.....but I'm new to it all and probably don't know any better. I actually kind of started this thread joking because Harv and B had complaints about the way Tex set the league up last year.

    TEX set up this complicated rules with whacked out scoring system probably thinking he'd be setting himself up with some distinct advantages. But he grossly underestimated his competition and fell on his face throughout the season.

    I miss that frickin Texaser; can't believe he bashed us and stayed over there.

    So I was probably overly harsh on Yahoo. It works pretty well. My scoring rules are somewhat complicated though. Allows for more scoring across the board and makes every single person on your squad important because even the bench players score points each week.

    Here's a link to one of my leagues from last year. It was a ton of fun. http://www.fflmanager.com/football/a...gski/index.php. If you guys (and gals) are interested, let me know and I'll hook this thing up. Let me add that this site is VERY customizeable and is run by some dude in WI, so money is going to a local guy, which I'm happy about.

    I have no issue with complicated rules; but some of the teams may not be into the overly complicates stuff and I don't think it's a bad idea to have a simple league in here. Out of curiosity, why pay $$ when there is so much free stuff on the NET ? I'm not a big Yahoo fan; I like exit42.com myself but Yahoo was ok last year.

    I do the pay sites because everything is customizeable. Yahoo is somewhat limited when it comes down to managing a league.

    Yahoo would definitely work for a simple league though, which we should probably do to bring in the various skill levels. I have no problem going that route if we could get enough people on board. AND We could hold the draft here. (People could follow along if they wanted to).

    Hell, if we could get enough people, I'd manage two leagues. That kind of participation would be awesome from the Packer Rats site. It'd be super fun to run two full leagues and have a Packer Rats Super Bowl where the two conferences meet.

    I'll start up a thread to see how many people are truly interested.

    I'd be fairly confident you'd already have

    LEWCHA
    Yourself
    Bretsky
    Harvey
    007
    Theatreofshades


    And that is without even remembering the rest of the league. So there's six; you could EASILY have 12 and maybe 14.

    I do think to encourage competition we should go the simple route though. I kind of liked the defensive scoring; it grew on me.......but some didn't like that.

    If we go the simple route, then I don't want to do IDP (I think its IDP--I'm a little drunk right now and can't remember) scoring. I'd want to do DEF/ST scoring, as traditional fantasy football leagues do, but not IDP.

    I dropped out of my last league because of cultural differences between me and the rest of the team owners. They were still in their twenties and draft day was a drawn out drinking thing and the winner was obligated to throw a really big drawn out drinking thing.

    Don't get me wrong. I love to drink. But good times doesn't mean furniture has to get broken, does it?

    An online league would be fun. Please consider me as a prospective team owner.

    There were a lot of reasons our defense was rated so highly overall; also keep in mind we weren't that highly rated in defensive scoring given up.

    We faced some teams with bad QB situations, bad offenses, and several of the INT's given up allowed teams to drive fewer yards for scores, thus improving the yardage (may also be why defensive scores given up were higher).

    I don't think GB had a top 10 defense, but we were average...and that's a credit to Bates and the players.

    There were instances where we really needed a stop to get back in the game and the defense didn't come through. By no means were we dominant and we'll have to improve to stay rated as high as we were last year.
