Fantasy Football anyone??

Would anyone be interested in doing a fantasy football league for 2008?

I can create the league on Yahoo and it will be free. You just need a Yahoo account (which is also free).

count me in....PM me in case it takes a while to recruit people and i forget. We're talking a 1 year redraft league right? If you want to get crazy we can do a dynasty league

Yeah I figure a 1 year league would work best for a place like this with people coming in and out all the time.

Maybe if we get a good response and the people involved feel compelled (and committed) enough we could talk about the possibility of a dynasty league down the line.

If anyone doesn't want to wait till the fall and needs a good football fix. I belong to a Sim-Football site. Very in depth. Players from all over the world. And the best part...it is free!!!! You create your own player, position, build, attributes etc. Play a 16 week season. Games are played every other day. Lots of fun.

It looks like there will be enough interest since wwe have 6 people so far.

Next question: Draft date and time.

I hate the autodrafts. IMHO the only way to build a team is with a live draft. So... I will set up the league and set the draft date for sometime mid-August. Are there any times that would NOT work for people to be online for about 90 min (most drafts I have done go pretty quick).

graeme99 is from Oz so he could possibly get the short end of the stick and have a late night or wee hours draft (sorry man).

...sounds fun. I even changed my avatar to reflect the football theme.

Dude I'll deal with it just give me an approximate time of the draft...

Been playing for years and love it !

I just set up the league. All are welcome. There are 12 spots, so it's first come first-served. And if you know anyone else who might be interested, go ahead and send them the info.

League Name: EF Fantasy Football 2008
Draft Type: Live Draft
Draft Time: Sat Aug 23, 1:30pm EDT If that draft time is too much of a hardship for some people I can probably change it. But the closer we get to the date the quicker all of the avaliable time slots get taken and it won't be easy to change. That's why I figured I would go ahead and set it up now.
