How many of you are interested in joining a fantasy football league for the upcoming NFL season? I’m not a huge football fan, but if you guys wanna suit up I’ll make it.
You need a Yahoo ID to join my league, just make one if you don’t have one already. From there you’re going to want to select “Join Custom League,” and here is the ID and password information:

Right now I set the cap for 12 teams, but we can have more if there is that much interest. The online draft is set for Tuesday August 19th at 2:30 PM EST, but that one is subject to change; I’m going to try to get a weekend or evening spot if one opens up – right now they’re all filled. Let me know too if that specific time is bad for you because if I can’t get a better time that’ll be the one we’ll use.
Basically, how this works is you make a “team.” Then we have a draft where all the current NFL players are available. You fill your roster by signing Quarterbacks, Running Backs, etc. Then, as the real NFL season progresses, your players earn points based on their real-life production. Then, your team plays against the other teams in the league; whichever team has more points after all the games for that week have been played wins. You can also drop or add players, make trades, etc. Basically, think of it as if you operated one of the real NFL teams, except that the players on it perform according to how they do in real life.
More details will be forthcoming or when they are asked about.
EDIT - Lastly, I may move the draft date to Monday if I get enough people fast enough, since my schedule is very shaky after Monday for the rest of the month.
I signed up. When you said “football”, I was hoping it was the real football (or soccer, heh).
As for the draft, it’d be awesome if you could make the draft Monday and possibly push it back an hour or two, around 4:00PM EST maybe. I don’t know if I’ll be able to get online before then.
see, the problem is there are barely any draft times available. This was basically the latest one I could find. If you aren’t there though the computer drafts for you.
And if you don’t know much about football, that’s ok too. Yahoo ranks players statistically as the year goes on, and they rank players prior to the draft as well.
it is now going to be Sunday, August 24th at 1:05 EST. Does that work better for all of y’all? Or is there a better day for you? Weekends or evenings are best for me. Speak up.
I would join up, but I don’t know a thing about American Football.
