Warriors,

I am a huge NFL fan as well as a fantasy football freak!

Would anyone be interested if I set up a couple of private leagues at nfl.com/fantasy?


We could do a draft any time (probably on a weekend or evening (in New York).

What do you think?

If I get a lot of replies, I'll go ahead and start getting things set up.

There is no limit to the number of leagues we can have...and it is all free.

Let me know,
AL

    I never got into fantasy football but I'd give it a shot.
    How are the Bucs looking this year Al?
    I lived in Tampa when they first got into the league and remember(?) the airport parties after the games.
    Do I have to tell you I've been a Buc fan since day one?

    Forgot to tell ya I was down in your neck of the woods last week.
    Closest I got to Tampa was Plant City.
    I started out in Bell, went to Plant City for 4 days then over to Deland, Orlando (sucks still) back to Bell then back to Deland (visited an old girl friend there, great time) before I road my shiny metal ass(my avatar) home.
    Basically I just keep going where ever Fay wasn't

    Well, I'll admit I'm a Fantasy geek, but the season already started. Can we still start a league? Some of the players (Giants and Skins) already played Week One.

    But if it is possible... you can count me in.

      Absolutely, we can start a league any time we want, we just start the actual contest the following Sunday.

      Anyone else interested?

                        The login is for a free account you have to set up with nfl.com. Look for a create an account button.

                        Once you log into nfl.com, the link will take you right to the join the league page.

                        I think.

                          Did all that.
                          When you go to the league page it says you need the password that was sent in the invite email.
                          This is a private league, so you will be asked for a password.

                            Dang it!

                            I cannot remember and they did not email it to me either.

                            hmmm..

                            Let's wait and create another league and draft next week. That'll give us two weeks of stats to go by.

                            I am SOOOO sorry, but I have to go and will not be around a computer all day.

                            We'll get it going.

                            Plus, I don't think we would have gotten 12 players by midnight anyway.

    OK - YOU GUYS AND GALS READY?

    Here's the information. You HAVE to sign up before Friday night at 11:59pm New York Time (EDT).

    Here's the link:
    http://freemeeting.0.football.nfl.co...2d8af5ea57591e

    If you don't already have an nfl/.com account, you have to create one, but it's free and they won't spam you.

    League Name: Warriors Come Out And Plaaaaay
    League Password: warriors123
    Live Draft: Saturday, September 20th - 4:00pm ET (New York Time)

    Go sign up and start getting ready ASAP! If tomorrow night I do not see enough players, I'll have to go elsewhere to get enough players to fill the league (12). We have to have 12 by 11:59 on Friday night.

    Try to sign up with your real name so we know who is who.

    On your marks...

        I think they order the draft by signup date/time...so get in early for a high draft pick.

    Hi Allen,

    While I am not ready to do the fantasy football thing, I was wondering what you thought of us putting up our picks for the week?

    These would simply be who wins or loses, and not against the spread. Just who gets the 'W'.

    The tie breaker could be the total points of the Monday Night game.

    Any thoughts?

    ~Michael

    p.s. Go! Pack! Go!

        Everyone could pay $5 to 1 person and have it winner take all each week. All the picks would be public before kickoff.

        If anyone is interested let me know. I have no problem collecting all the picks from everyone and posting them on Sunday morning. If there is money involved I could collect it as well or someone with more posts is fine with me.

        I think we could get some pretty good pots going each week and be able to follow everyones picks.

        Let me know what you think and I can set it up.

              I would participate.

              You know, out of all the thousands of people at this forum, I am shocked and disappointed that we could only find 5 people to do FF.

              Nfl.com disbanded our league for not having enough players.

              I tried my hardest!

              Unfortunately I wouldn't have the time to keep up with everyones picks, but I would participate in what Mike suggested.
