Let's have some fun and competition

FANTASY FOOTBALL TIME!
Who is interested? Let me know. Hopefully we can get 10 members that are, so we can have our very own league. If not, I will open it to the public after all members have registered. Give me an idea so I can set it up and post the password here for everyone to register. Is there anyway we can set a time and date (maybe This Sunday evening) so we can have a live draft? I play a few leagues every year and live drafts make it much more fun. I set one up on another site last year and the leader throughout most of the season wasn't even a football fan, just did his lineup based on stats. I believe the winner or maybe he was 2nd place never watched football and was asking where Joe Montana was lol. My point is, you don't have to be a huge fan to get into the fantasy league. You log into the league once a week and set your lineup, under 5 minutes.

We never can get all of us together at one time in the same place for any betting to happen. I'll bet you that one on one though.
I just did a draft on a league and it only took 45 minutes. WAY faster if all 10 guys are and they weren't.
Let's give this a couple of days to see who is in. I'm not sure when OJ is coming back from vacation, but he'll be in. I'm thinking our draft should be on Sunday evening sometime. Does that work for you, Andy?

[SPLASH]

I called OJ and he says he's heading home tomorrow and that he's in. Looks like Andy, Me, and OJ so far. Come on folks, if you can sit there for 4 hours watching out of shape men adjust their cup 7,843 times and spit tobacco, how can you not like football? Or atleast take 5 minutes a week to adjust a roster for bragging rights around here?

CP pm'd me that he is in. I'll be setting up an email address just for him to use to get on the fantasy league. During the draft I'll be running 2 computers so I can draft for him due to the time difference and he not being able to know when he'll be on the internet.

I tracked down Mr. Pitt on fb lastnight. I'm going to set it up and post the details here so we can lock in a spot. Stay tuned

I created the league.
www.espn.go.com
register your account and after you have done that, click on fantasy football, look for the BACKBONE league. The password to get a team in the league is "lefty andy" HAHAHAHA. Do this asap. The draft is set for this Sunday at 8pm. Don't complain about the date or time because I didn't get any suggestions. Hope to see you there. PM me with any questions. CP, I will be setting up an email for you, registering that email on espn and PMing you the password to the email.

Love the names Diddle and Andy came up with for thier teams. ;D

[SPLASH]

Just waiting on OJ to go and reserve his team and then I'm opening it to the public sometime tomorrow night to fill the rest of the teams.

[SPLASH]

OJ registered his team so I'm opening up the remaining 5 teams to the public.

[SPLASH]

A few more spots have filled since I opened it to the public. I posted it on fb earlier. Matt is my Cousin from Marquette and Bill is a local buddy. Don't know the Sweeny guy. It should fill soon, but definitely will the last hour before the draft so remember 8pm tomorrow night!

[SPLASH]

Just checked and the league is full. Don't forget the draft at 8 tonight.
