EoFF Fantasy American Football

[Raistlin]

So I've heard speculation that the lockout may end soon, so I figured the league should be up and running just in case.

Returning managers, whenever you can see this, you can PM me for the league password (I think it's the same as last year).

For newbies who may want to play, we'll give the returners a couple of weeks to register. By the time August roles around, if there are still some absent members, then we'll accept new recruits. Regardless, be sure to post your interest here; if there's enough extra people, I'll create a second league (or spuuky will recreate his insanity league).

This will be interesting. Replying to a thread that doesn't exist.

I'm in, of course. You might want to send out an email to last year's coaches since many of them don't check the forums.

I've always wondered, is a weekly effort necessary for this? Or can I just set my team at the start of the season, manage it intensely for a couple of months before getting bored and ending up finishing 5th like I do in the other fantasy football?

[Raistlin]

Yeah, it does require some paying attention. Injuries are numerous, and any random backup could turn into a top-10 player at his position.

Also, Del, Yahoo should have automatically sent everyone an email.

*bump*

It would be cool if we could get more people to sign up for this. Only have 8 teams at present so we're hoping for at least 4 more.

PM me or Raistlin if you want the league info, and only join if you plan on paying attention the whole season!

i'm in if there's still a spot open

[The Captain]

I didn't get any notification, but I'm definitely in again.

Feel free to PM the password.

EDIT: Did some searching through yahoo and found what I needed to join up. Thanks!


Take care all.

Can't you just choose Tom Brady + other people and win without having to actively manage?

[Del Murder]

Well for starters there is a draft, so you may not get Tom Brady or the other people you want. Secondly, injuries are frequent in football and require you to sub out for healthy players. Thirdly, there are bye weeks so if you played Tom Brady for every week you will likely lose one of those.

Tom Brady is indestructible.

I would probably know more players (I also know Michael Vick and Peyton Manning) and might even play if American football wasn't on at like 3 in the morning. And if I didn't have to watch one of two ESPN adverts every minute.

[Raistlin]

Tom Brady missed a a whole season a couple of years ago.

Anyway, message me if you have any questions or are interested in joining. There are currently 6 oldbies who haven't signed back up, but I'll give them a few more days until I open the flood gates. More than likely we'll have at least a few spots open.

[escobert]

can't join says not enough spots

[Raistlin]

Weird. The max is set at 14, and we currently have 11. I just checked the league's settings again, so I dunno what the problem could be.

[escobert]

i'll try again in a bit

[escobert]

There was a problem

There is not room in this league if all teams from last year return. To join, get the commissioner to increase the maximum number of teams, or remove teams that will not be returning. (Error #638)
