fantasy football: a league of our own

anyone here currently part of a fantasy football league?

any interest in starting a 930 bboard league? does one already exist?

(cue up the haters… :roll: )

im down

i am interested.

count me in.

if its on yahoo

I am interested!

I'm game. I want TJ Whoshyamama.

count me in.

i'm in

ok, looks like we're rapidly approaching a workable league. i'm off to do some furniture shopping, when i come back i'll set up a league (on yahoo, per mr. shoeshine's request - speak up now if you have an issue with this, otherwise i'm happy to go with that).

i'll send you the link to the league so you can sign up as soon as it's ready. next step will be to set up the draft. i'll send out a poll to see what time fits y'all best - no use posting it to the board here.

- da commish

EDIT: FYI, i just checked the rules and the fee yahoo league is limited to 10 playaz - and we're 9 at the moment.

I'm not interested in Fantasy, but I would be interested in a suicide pool.

I'm interested. And as for the suicide pool, I got Winehouse on September 16th.

i like the yahoo leagues. i already have a team on there, so i can maintain both my leagues by logging in once.

If there's room for 9:30 staff I'll join.

ok, last question before i set up the league: do people have a preference for points vs. head-to-head? i'm thinking that h2h would foster more smack-talk, but points is the more traditional version.

i'll PM y'all with the league URL in the morning.

My office has a death pool (a simple "who dies first" bet) for Lindsay Lohan vs. Britney Spears. It was even when we started 2 months ago…it's 2:1 Lohan now. Now, Winehouse would be a good bet to beat either one, but I don't know that anyone in my office other than me would know who she is.

I have just one previous fantasy football experience, back in 1998. Yahoo auto-drafted Steve Young as my QB (coming off a year he led the league in NFL passes, a couple of years removed from the Super Bowl win). Young got knocked out in the 3rd game, he never recovered, and neither did my fantasy team.

That league (as well as my annual baseball leagues) was points, not head-to-head. I'd prefer points, but I'm open to trying something new.

i'm thinking points too.

and what shall we set the "entrance fee$" at?

i'm not interested in paying money to play.

im still down even with it being pay

Ladies and gents, we have a points league set up: welcome to the League930
http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/league930 (click on the "Sign up now" link, on the top left next to "Overview", or PM me your e-mail and i'll invite you)

league is open to all, 20 teams max (not 10 as previously thought).

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE JOINING:
– there is a $10 (ten) dollar fee to join. i think that's low enough to make entrance affordable while making the pot something worth winning. at the end of the season, 1st place takes 50% of the pot (i.e. $10 * number of playaz), second gets 33%, third gets 17%. i will collect fees and pay out at the end of the season. payment will be due before the first game of week three, or your team will be disqualified. BY SIGNING UP FOR THE LEAGUE YOU ARE COMMITTING TO PAYING THIS FEE.
– Draft has been set for this Wednesday, August 29, at 7:30. please note that you don't have to be online for the draft: you can set up your picks ahead of time and the system will go down your list and chose accordingly. if you feel strongly
– see above website for rules & scoring, i kept all default except that sacks are worth one point.

again, please don't sign up if you don't want to pay the $10 entrance fee. let the smack-talk begin.

signed,
League 930 Commissioner; and owner, manager and head coach of the New Jersey Barebacks :D
