I love Fantasy Football. I would be very interested in playing. And if i could help out in anyway.
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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 haveQuote:

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.
Count me in....
Good Deal; I'll need some Kool Aide to combine with Vodka after watching the OL next year :wink:Quote:

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.
I'll play again this year........as long as B promises not to nag me on and on about trading my best player again!! :razz: :wink:

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.
Had you accepted my proposals faster, you would have been better off and I'd have been screwed in the playoffs. So thanks for turning me down; wait...did I say that to a chick ?Quote:

Al least B didn't sat "broad". Count me in for FF.
Actually it was more the spelling......chick is a baby chicken......chic is a chic. If I remember correctly that was GBM's problem with your wordage.Quote:

Anyhow, count me in for FF, too. I replied too late to get in with you guys last year!
Yes I did; I've always thouth the EC gals was a bit simple. Deeper would beQuote:

Two gals.........in FF.. Cool
I think Yahoo is great for fantasy ball.
I don't mind individual defensive players and some extra stat categories, but Tex went way overboard. I don't like fractions of points, negative points, and all of the other garbage he had.
B - you should have quit while you were ahead :wink:
Wow that was a long response.... :mrgreen:Quote:

Sign me up for FF. :twisted:
This is gonna be really fun, guys and gals. I'm looking forward to getting this thang going!

If you make it simple enough that an idiot could do it, I'm in.
Then you're in. And I'm quite sure you're not an idiot. You'll do just fine.Quote:
