EoFF NFL Fantasy Football

[Raistlin]

It's that time again, where we get together to yell at players every Sunday for not catching enough touchdowns. Actually I'm late to setting up the league this year, but we still have 6 or so weeks to get a league together. Plenty of time!

If you were in the league last year, you should have automatically been given an invite. If not, just let me know. And for newcomers: our league can have 14 players, and we had 12 last year, so even if everyone signs up again (which does not always happen), we still have 2 more spots. So if you're at at all interested in the NFL and want to try out fantasy, feel free to have a go. We only ask that you check your team roster at least once every week for injuries/bye weeks, so it's not that much of a time investment. EoFF's league is free through Yahoo, so all you need is a Yahoo account to register and play.

I've tentatively set the draft time for Saturday, August 30th at 3 PM EST, though that's subject to change. Please immediately let me know here or in the league chat what times do and don't work for you. If you don't let me know promptly, you lose the right to complain a week before draft day.

For example: Saturday, August 23rd does not work for me, though I'm available pretty much every other weekend in the afternoon EST.

Are you ready for some football?

EDIT: Also, feel free to discuss any potential rule changes as well.

Is there a fee or is this a "for fun" league?

[Raistlin]

It's just for fun and bragging rights; there's no sign up fee or other money involved.

[Colonel Angus]

I'm in.

What about the 24th or the 16th for draft day?

[Raistlin]

Great! PM me with an email to send the invite to.

[escobert]

I renewed. Sexy Rexys will win!

[Del Murder]

I forget who won last year. Was it me?

[Raistlin]

Last year Jiro, in his first year with the league, stormed over everyone with the ridiculous Jamaal Charles/Jimmy Graham combo (somehow he managed to snag both of those in a 12-team league).

[Colonel Angus]

You let an Aussie win? Just give me the championship now & save everyone's time.

[escobert]

Megatron was a big let down for me last year. Luckily Ashlon Jeffrey was great and of course Peyton had his year. but, he couldn't do it for me at the end

Oh yeah ha ha, I picked ray rice over Charles. That was pretty dumb. Guess I need to play to humble Jiro.

[DarkBahamut]

Count me in!!

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

Oh yes I want to do this too. I want to league it with you losers. <3

[Raistlin]

For any newbies who want to join, send me a PM with an email address to send the invite to. This is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once the spots are tentatively full, I'll wait 2 weeks to give time for any of last year's participants to sign up. If there are still any spaces left after that (which often happens), I'll send out the rest of the invites, so don't be discouraged if you don't get an invite right away.

This doesn't sound anything like real football...
